So I was KIND OF in love with Atreyu. I think it was the hair.

The 1940s.

So, E, this little boy saying The Lord's Prayer in Scots Gaelic is SO CUTE, it almost makes me want to get married and have a baby RIGHT NOW. ...Almost. (Obviously, though, when I DO have kids, they are going to know like 50 languages. Fluently. It's going to be pretty amazing.)

HA HA, E!

Don't be jealous, E, but according to this article, Atlanta is one of the least caffeinated cities in America! Didn't see YOUR city listed anywhere. It's probably because everyone here down south is HIGH ON LIFE...and stuff. Of course, Atlanta is probably also one of the fattest cities in America, but that's not even the POINT of the article, so that's clearly irrelevant.

More Hahahahahahaha!

Old People Vs The Machines Part 2

Mom: Emmy, when you go to Target, I want you to get a $25 gift card. ...Well, you could probably get it cheaper at Walmart.
Emmy: ...Mom, it's a gift card with the amount programmed onto it. It's $25 no matter what.
Mom: Oh. ...Shut up!

Crack for internet junkies.

Victor Davis Hanson discusses the humanities moving off-campus at City Journal.

The heart wants what it wants. Even if what it wants is pale, robotic and emotionless.

I once knew a girl in college who was 25 years old and in love with Daniel Radcliffe in Harry Potter. Her other major fictional character crush (actually from girlhood) was Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. I understand that one. I mean, he WAS really smart. Plus, he always had such control about him--always so cool and collected. I guess that had something to do with him being a robot, but still. So, I think it would be fun for everyone to reveal his or her inappropriate or embarrassing celebrity/fictional character crush. See the Inappropriate Crushes Anonymous livejournal for inspiration.

Soooo, anyone have a thing for Sheriff ANDY TAYLOR? Uh, I know--HOT! He was always so good with Opie and Aunt Bea--what a man! PLUS, he wears a uniform all the time! HELLO, people! *nudge nudge* You feel me? Yeah? ...Whatever. You should probably know that lying a lot raises your blood pressure.

Happy New Year!
