Agree, housecarder and joy. I have tried to convince others of Star Wars (which I loved as a kid), but Goonies was lost on me (I saw it as an adult).
I once had a pizza & unicorns party where everyone got wasted, made pizzas, and watched The Last Unicorn. Needless to say, everyone who had not seen the movie as a child (mostly men) was like, "Whaaaat? Why are we watching this?" And every. single. girl was sitting there, rapt with attention, like "Yes. This is what life is about."
ironbaby, what makes you say it was weird? Was it the boob tree? The harpy? The drunk skeleton? The bull? The pirate cat? Hahaha. So much weird to choose from...
You are my new favorite person.
Though honestly, the music was one of the weirdest parts.
I bought a onesie to give my H when we get a BFP. We aren't actively trying yet. Flame on; it's adorable.
I was just coming over to confess I bought MH a tee shirt this morning for the same reason. I saw an ad on Facebook for a limited time tee that said "Great fathers teach their children the ways of the Force" in the Star Wars font. We are big SW nerds, so I kinda had to. When it comes, I'm not even going to open it, just stick it in a drawer MH doesn't go into to wait.
Here's my similar confession: I first saw Star Wars at age 26. It bored me to teaaaars. It was dated and silly. I've never been able to watch past episode IV.
YES. I have never seen a Star Wars movie. As a teenager, it was because I had no interest in Sci-Fi. There's a very real chance I might actually like the movies if I watched them, but at this point, it's more fun NOT to have seen them. I feel like I am in my own special club.
Newer Star Trek, though? I'll watch those anytime because I have a very big crush on Spock.

I didn't see Star Wars until the new(er) ones came out, so I went back and watched the originals. I did not see the appeal.
However, H will undoubtedly make me go see the newest ones. And I will sit there confused.
I loved the originals. Then the new ones came out and now I have a harder time watching the originals. I really like action movies with good FX so while I much prefer the story lines of the original 3, I really miss the FX of the newer 3. Really excited for Part VII though!!

I had a dream about an ex last night. I woke up in the middle of it. I tried going back to sleep just to finish the dream. I wanted to see what happened!

I called into work on Tuesday. I told them I was sick. Really I was feeling guilty for leaving my dog at home all last weekend (I was super busy) so I called in sick to have a date with my dog. We took a long walk at the riverside, we drove around on gravel roads for an hour or two, then we got some froyo and took a nap.
All week my germophobe co-worker has been asking me about my symptoms and telling everyone there is a 24 hour bug going around. I've had to lie like 25 times over this phantom sickness.
I think he's creepy looking. The first time I saw him was in Heroes when he played Sylar. Newp. Ruined.
Lots of actors are ruined for me. Carol Burnett and Tim Curry? Only ever evil (Annie). I've never seen Cersei Lannister in anything else, but I'd bet she will never recover in my eyes, either.

I always wake up when I want to keep dreaming. But if I have a nightmare about being chased or something it seems to never end. Doing it all wrong.
OMG ironbaby, I found a live version of the title song. Apparently the band "America" is actually still together (they wrote the whole soundtrack), and they still do concerts?!? Where do you live? Like, should we go?
FFFC: Speaking of threesomes, I am LOLing at this shit so hard, and yet... this song is so bound up in my childhood heartstrings that I would probably do this whole band of old dudes.

I regret nothing!
That is amazing. I want to have a dog date!
But it's been raining all week, and my rugged princess won't step foot in anything wet.
summerdonna - I'm mobile and can't see, but does your "it ties the room together" post say that I edited it?
Mods have the ability to edit posts and that stupid button is right next to the "quote" button on mobile. I thought I was quoting you but no. Once I realized that I edited your post instead, I unedited and then made my new quoted post.
@erin2021, old Tom Hanks is rad, but young Tom Hanks was hawt. I was humblebragging in the GoT thread the other day that my H looks like Tom Hanks and Kit Harington (Jon Snow) made a baby. Now I wanna go make out with my H's face.

We ARE going. I am in the Carolinas. Just pick a place. This has to happen.
Although I don't know if I would do them. The Beach Boys, though? Yep.

Yup he is always Sylar to me. Did you here they are bringing Heroes back? It was a good show but lost me with all the carnival crap.
