"...I'm gonna be near folks. I ain't gonna try to teach 'em nothin'. I'm gonna try to learn. Gonna learn why the folks walks in the grass, gonna hear 'em talk, gonna hear 'em sing. Gonna listen to kids eatin' mush. Gonna hear husban' an' wife poundin' the mattress in the night. Gonna eat with 'em an' learn. Gonna lay in the grass, open an' honest with anybody that'll have me. Gonna cuss an' swear an' hear the poetry of folks talkin'. All that's holy, and all that's what I didn' understan'. All them things is the good things." ~Preacher Casy, The Grapes of Wrath.

"So... what's so spectacular about Spoons? They're the most amazing implements ever created. When Man made Spoon, he started a long tradition of innovation that would lead to things like the Internet and cheeseburgers. Be honest, what can't a Spoon do? You can eat just about anything with a Spoon - you can even sharpen it into a steak Spoon. You can dig out of jail with a Spoon, hence why they banned metal ones in prison. Spoons function as makeshift mirrors. The reflection from a Spoon can start a fire. Spoons can even be kinky, if you want to use them that way. Spoons are devine implements, worthy of our admiration and respect. Have you used a Spoon today?"

An Explanation of the Ewan Phenomenon
I find I ought to explain my rabid fanship, so I don't come off as a totally airheaded fangirl with no life. Yes, I drool over Ewan McGregor. Yes, I've rented movies solely to see him in them. However, I am not just a fan because of his looks! He's an outstanding actor, and incredibly versitile. He's done comedy, drama, sci-fi, musicals, even horror, and does them all very well. He can sing (Moulin Rouge), he can dance (various movies), and he can do a vast array of accents (Black Hawk Down comes to mind). Even if he wasn't extremely good-looking, I'd be a fan anyway. Oh, yeah, and I liked Moulin Rouge way before I became a rabid fangirl... ;) Same goes for Star Wars. I'm a child of the Old Trilogy, baby!

Reccomended Reading:
The Gryffindor Rouge - Not so much a parody as a tribute, this is the story of Moulin Rouge told with Harry Potter characters and settings. One of my personal favorites :)
Unwell/Disease/Fallen - A series of Star Wars song fanfictions set to Matchbox 20 songs.
Things to Say While Waiting In Line/Talkshows - Not to be completed due to a ban on talkshows, but humorous anyway. Very good for a laugh.

Random Thought of the Moment:
I got into Ohio State!
