"But, like ivy, we grow where there is room for us."

I'll write a much more detailed 2008 wrapup blog later because I have so much to say about the year that coudl've easily swallowed me whole in an instant. I also want to blog about my expectations for this wonderful new year and all of the massive changes that will soon be flowing from insane directions but since it's 12:45 on a school night I'm in the mood for something a bit more light hearted with a meaty undertone.

So instead I've opted to talk about my dream mate.

I saw the movie 'dedication' about 8 months ago and I always tell people about it. It's such an underrated movie because I'm pretty sure it went straight to dvd and it didn't get the credit it deserved. Billy Crudup delivers the most amazing performance. I'm pretty sure I melt everytime I watch him.

Maybe I am as fucking crazy as I've convinced myself that I am but this is hands down one of the greatest quotes I've heard in cinema. I want this man, the person who can came up with these thoughts, that person is who i'm going to be with, maybe not forever but for as long as allowed.

Henry: Okay, uh, before we can, uh... work effectively with one another, I think we should be comfortable. So, ten minutes, okay? Then - then work. Okay? Go. Okay, I'll start. Uh, I hate my mother. I hate my goddamn dead father more. Rudy was the only friend I ever had. I had a girlfriend once who I used to like to masturbate to more than have sex with. Carrots and snakes frighten me. Umm... I'm superstitious about the numbers...three, six, and seven.

Henry: I can only stir things counterclockwise, and I know that if I don't, something bad will happen. I take size eleven-and-a-half shoe. I don't have a favourite book. Umm... Oh... What's crucial? Oh, I don't drive or ride in cars. Statistically speaking, you have a 100% chance of being in an accident in your lifetime. They're death boxes. I give to Amnesty International on the off chance I'm ever imprisoned and tortured for my political beliefs. Paradoxically, I have no political beliefs. Umm... life is pain. Black kids are cuter than white ones. What's important? Uh... I didn't mean it when I compared you to our waitress. I was only trying to hurt you. I could've been meaner about your looks, and what I would've said would have made you cry. Umm... I have a towel I can't throw out 'cause it may have feelings. When I ejaculate, I go into deep depressions. Though by any standard you're a nice person, I deeply resent having to work with you. I love Japanese monster movies. Gamera, specifically.
