Somehow, HIMYM isn’t as funny as it used to be. Maybe its because it’s becoming less and less of a spectacle, but more and more of a reflection. Somewhat. I still love the series though, despite its sometimes longwinded and crappy episodes.
“I used to believe in destiny, you know. I used to go to the bagel place, see a pretty girl in line reading my favourite novel, whistling the song that’s been stuck in my head the entire week, and I think ‘wow hey maybe she’s the one’. Now I think, I just know that bitch is going to take that last wholewheat everything bagel.”
“You’ve just been focused on work.”
“No, it’s more than that. I’ve stopped believing. *sigh* Not in that depressed I’m-gonna-cry-during-my-toast way, not in a way I even noticed until tonight. It’s just that everyday I… believe a little less…..and a little less… and a little less… and that… sucks. What do I do about that?”
