"One minute you're defending the WHOLE galaxy...

the next you're sucking down Darjeeling with

Marie Antoinette and her little sisters..."
~THE Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story

I'm a sucker for the movies from my childhood. I know way more about Disney movies and the like than I really should. My extensive knowledge regarding children's movies is part of what makes me such a nerd and I'm not at all ashamed of it. There are days when it's especially nice to have on hand my favorite movies when childhood. You know, those days when being a grown up just sucks and no amount of ice cream or chocolate or kind words from a friend will do. Even if it's just for an hour and half, it's good to feel like the world is full of wonder and spectacle.

It's just a short post today. I'm not making very much headway in the reading list, sadly. School and work have to take precedence no matter how wonderful the story.

Have a wonderful day!

Oh so sentimental...

I've heard it said

That people come into our lives for a reason

Bringing something we must learn

And we are led

To those who help us most to grow

If we let them

And help them in return

Well, I don't know if I believe that's true

But I know I'm who I am today

Because I knew you...

The lyrics from one of the last songs in the musical Wicked (that I have yet to see). I thoroughly enjoy the music and the story of this musical. It's so fun and it's just good! Anyway. There are so many people still or no longer in my life who I can honestly say I am better for knowing. What about you?

So, this is my thank you to all of the people I love and have loved. It's because of the support and love of you all that I am where I am today. I hope I've had at least a portion of the impact on you that you've had on me. :)
