I love her. I loved a lot of the classics growing up. The first book that kept me up all night because I had to finish it was 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I was like 10. The Chronicles of Narnia were also very formative as well. <BR/><BR/>And I think some of my pop-culture friendship sentinals are the best of Mike Myers and Chris Farley. Those are both necessary viewing for me. And Monty Python - if they don't get that they probably won't get me. And Pure Drivel by Steve Martin - thats an important book too.Ms. Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610613067782656189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4820974695593664703.post-43913480218970498012007-08-28T11:56:00.000-07:002007-08-28T11:56:00.000-07:00As a kid I loved The Baby-Sitters Club books. Then...As a kid I loved The Baby-Sitters Club books. Then I moved on to Madeleine L'Engle's books. I dont expect everyone else to like them, but I was a weird friendless child and speant most of my time reading. It's true-when my mom wanted punish me, or if I had chores to do, she'd hide my books! that would drive me crazy! I remember reading The Gammage Cup (another of my fav's) when I was finally able to find my book--I finished reading it in the bathroom and put it back in it's hiding place...she left my books alone for a while because she thought I was still reading that one. :-)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03020121868998000309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4820974695593664703.post-58003998232656171342007-08-28T11:41:00.000-07:002007-08-28T11:41:00.000-07:00HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...poor guy was probab...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...poor guy was probably made fun of as a kid...Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03020121868998000309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4820974695593664703.post-10070537341040902442007-08-27T11:49:00.000-07:002007-08-27T11:49:00.000-07:00Yes, Heather, but you like it now and that's what'...Yes, Heather, but you like it now and that's what's important. I'm hoping that the lovely, charming girls have since given it a chance and have changed their minds.<BR/><BR/>The book that had the biggest impact on me as a child was The Outsiders. My 5th grade teacher, Mr. O'Clock (I'm not kidding, that was his name) read it to us and it was the first book that ever broke my heart. I cried for days. I still do every time I reread it.rachelsayssohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053263932484618552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4820974695593664703.post-10946374489777055732007-08-27T09:57:00.000-07:002007-08-27T09:57:00.000-07:00For me, there are things that I love, that I'm sur...For me, there are things that I love, that I'm sure a lot of my friends don't (or at least not as much as me) and I'm okay with that.<BR/><BR/>My big thing is: Do they make me laugh? Not laugh all the time, but they have humor and can say or do funny things. <BR/><BR/>If they can make me laugh, then I can be friends with them.Liz the Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15910096677909941425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4820974695593664703.post-81841795109882700432007-08-27T09:41:00.000-07:002007-08-27T09:41:00.000-07:00I'm sad to say it, but I was one of them--not a gi...I'm sad to say it, but I was one of them--not a girl you had dinner with (obviously) but a nonbeliever of The Office...until the end of the 2nd season when you introduced me to the finale and I became interested. Then later that summer my sister lovingly made me watch it, at which point I fell in LOVE!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03020121868998000309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4820974695593664703.post-18720411234494347842007-08-26T20:01:00.000-07:002007-08-26T20:01:00.000-07:00The Office.

I actually had an experience once where I had dinner with two girls, friends of a friend, who were both lovely and charming and delightful. But about halfway through our meal I referenced the Office and one of them said, "I watched about 5 minutes of that and didn't think it was very funny." and the other said, "I don't like that kind of humor." And I instantly and very seriously thought, "I can't possibly be friends with these girls. What a shame."rachelsayssohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053263932484618552noreply@blogger.com
