timer .. would you ??

[frenchy]

so i saw this movie last night about how in the future you don't have to pick your soul mate .. all you do is wear this.. ehh i dunno some sort of digital clock that will count down the exact day and time you'll meet your soulmate ... of course the glitch in this theory is your soulmate has to also have one of these digital armband clocks or else your clock will just blink endlessly with no date because you need to have your soulmate on the grid too so to speak for it to work.. so this poor girl has a digital clock thats blank cause her soulmate hasn't gotten their timer yet which of course drives her absolutely crazy so any guy she meets that don't have a timer she marches his ass down to the timer store to get hooked up .. she wants to find her soulmate so bad and she's fast approachin 30 .. her sisters timer says she'll meet her guy when she's 43 years old .. so she's pretty much given in to just havin casual sex cause she knows none of the guys she meets will be the one .. and she tells her sister to do the same .. why wait cause who knows what will happen ?? it was an interestin concept .. and the ending was .. well i guess you'd have to see it .

so my question is .. if you could wear one of them timers and it absolutely guaranteed that you'd meet that one and only true love soul mate , would you ?? even if it said you wouldn't for 2 years ??? 5 years ?? 20 years ?? at what point would you say bag this shit i'll just take my chances and do it the old fashioned way ?? even tho the law of failed relationships is probably better than 75% ..

I have been waiting this long, so a couple more years wouldn't hurt me.  It already feels like I have waited forever, with no luck.   The thing is, I would not only want an assurance that I would meet my soul mate, at this point I would need some assurance that I would have sometime to spend with him!  :)

Can I tell you something and not sound crazy? In my long  life, I think I have had three soul mates--and I was not married to any of them.

The definition of soul mate I like is that it's not someone you are like, someone who comforts you.  My husband comforts me because he accepts me as I am--I don't think of him as my soul mate, though. 

A soul mate kicks you in the ass and makes you grow and will not let you be less than you can be.  I'm absolutely sure I had two  and each one died and maybe three--the third I left because he had mental issues. So, no. I don't need the timer thing anymore.

you be a dangerous woman, jo....used them up and wore them guys down to a nub huh? what a way to go...

[crestofwaves]

Oh, no, Problem.  One died from Hodgkins disease, the other from cancer and alcoholism. I had nothing to do with their deaths.

that is sad,  just so sad. seems like the rainbow doesn't endure.

The rainbow endures in the heart because I learned the lessons each taught . I Think I have been lucky to have had the experience.

Many years ago I always wanted too fiind a soul mate but life doesn't work that way . The fatter I got the less inclined I was to ever find the right one . Now its too late . Even if a timer worked I would be my luck to die on that day . Interesting concept though .

Whatwas the name of the movie ?
