Friend Makin’ Monday

friend makin monday for post

Happy Monday, everyone! I am sitting here in an absolute daze today. Have you ever had those moments where you wake up and immediately want to crawl back into bed for the rest of the day? That’s me. Thankfully it is my day off so I can do so if I please. And y’all…. I do please.

Today’s topic of FMM, hosted by Amber at aefilkins, is:

If life were a movie, which movie would you want to live in?

This is a hard one. I had a few thoughts before I settled on my final choice.

Ok, I know this isn’t technically a movie, but it did air on MTV once. Legally Blonde: The Musical combines four of my favorite things: music, dancing, Elle Woods, and chihuahuas. I want to live in that pink world, don’t you?

Ordinarily I’d never choose this movie, but I am pregnant, and riding down a chocolate river is sounding awfully good to me right now. I think I’d upgrade to the Johnny Depp version, though, just for the eye candy.

Center Stage is such a corny movie, but sue me – I love corny movies, ok? I’d love to be a sexy ballerina who gets to choose between two guys while dancing to Michael Jackson tunes.

Ultimately, the final choice was obvious. After all, I’ve blogged before about how this movie has ruined my life.

Come to mama, Noah/Ryan Gosling. I’ll be your Allie/Rachel McAdams any day. I think my husband would understand.

How about you – what movie would you want to live in?

Hmmm....Willy Wonka and the Choco factory...now that could work for me, with all that chocolate and all. LOL!! What a great movie pick! I love the Notebook!! Have a great FMM!!

Christina said...

Ok Andrea you so need to rent parenthood. One of the best movies ever!

Divine Mrs D said...

At one point, I owned two copies of that movie. :-D

HAPPY FMM!!

Laura said...

Good picks!

Mandy said...

I thought I was the only one who liked Center Stage...so glad I'm not alone!

Cole said...

I loved Center Stage! Cheesy... but good. :-)

For a recent movie, I'd have to pick the Proposal. Get paid to read, be vastly more assertive than I am in my real life - and STILL get Ryan Reynolds. SCORE!!

I love Center Stage!! The lack of realism in the final number drives me nuts but i watch it every time it's on tv. J'adore!!

KT said...

I was thinking Center Stage too...any kind of dance movie! I would also be a fan of living in Charlie's Chocolate Factory. Sweets all day everyday...sounds like a good life to me! Good picks!

Great movie choices!

Id take Willie Wonka for the food and the Notebook is one of my faves, love it love it love it!

Justine said...

Ooh, I think you hit it right on with Willy Wonka! Oh yeah, that's the place to be. If you can't eat sugar. Which I can't. but, if I was living in a movie I would be able to!

Justine :o )

Jen said...

The Notebook...sigh. You know you would have to fight me for Ryan though. ;)

Great list! I can see why it was difficult to choose, but who can argue with your final choice?

Thanks for visiting my blog, yours is great, I'm now following and looking forward to reading more.

Ali said...

Oooh, Willy Wonka's a good choice!

And yes, The Notebook. Oh, how I wish. Minus the Alzheimer's and all that, of course.

Happy FMM!

Katie said...

Oooh I enjoy all of those movies (including Legally Blonde which as you said is techniccally a musical - LOVE the soundtrack to that musical, by the way!)!

These are all wonderful choices! Actually, I haven't seen The Notebook but I've heard it's excellent. Don't go see romantic movies because it just reminds me that I'm alone.

Amy said...

I love the last choice what a love story.

Kylee said...

Great choices! :D I am stopping my from FMM.

BTW, congrats on your pregnancy. Babies are always a blessing. :) Have an amazing Monday!

Namine said...

And Congrats on your expected little one!!

Happy FMM!

Beth P. said...

I love all the movies you listed! I thought of the Notebook and decided it was too much for me! I would live my life sobbing! Haha. Well not really, actually I think it'd be so utterly romantic I wouldn't be able to stand it.

Thanks for visiting my blog today - Happy FMM!

Michaela said...

You had me at chocolate stream! Willy Wonka it is (but the original... not the new one)!!

jenjen said...

Those are some great movies! I didn't think about listing more than one. I had a hard time trying to come up with one.

Hope you are having a good week so far!

XOOX

I LOVE The Notebook, but I couldn't pick it because Alzheimer's is the most frightening thing in the world to me...it is a terribly romantic movie though.

Christina Lee said...

umm..nobody mentioned Twilight..I'd be Bella, of course :)

♥ Kenz ♥ said...

OMG The Notebook would be so totally amazing...ahhhhh...I'm going to go day dream now. :)

Bethany said...

Nice choices! I like Willy Wonka...or 13 Going on 30...or 27 Dresses...any of those would work for me!
