Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

I remember watching eternal sunshine of the spotless mind my freshman year the morning after homecoming but I don't remember making the connections that I did when we watched this movie in class. I absolutely adore this movie, the acting was fantastic, but I think the thing that I liked most was the story line. The plot of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was basically that Joel is a normal guy who is living a boring life but then he meets clementine. Clementine is different, she has weird hair does strange things and wears weird clothes, she works at a book store and tries to live her life as extravagant as possible. Well clementine and Joel have a falling out, they love each other but Clementine comes home late one night drunk and Joel had been waiting for her for hours, he tells her that the only way she makes friends is by sleeping with them, Clementine leaves and ends up getting Joel erased from her memory without telling him. So, on Valentines Day Joel goes to Barnes and Nobel to give Clementine a Valentines Day gift, but she doesn't remember him. He gets so confused and his friends end up telling him how they received a letter from the memory eraser company letting them know what was going on; Clementine got her memory erased and Joel can't find out. Joel ends up finding out and wants to remove all of that hurt that Clementine had put on him, so he decides to get his memory erased by the same company. In the morning Joel wakes up and meets Clementine...again. The scene replays of the day they first met, and at the end Clementine reads her mails and it says that they she had her memory erased, she freaks out to Joel and Joel goes home to his apartment where the same letter is waiting...
