Flashback 1997

Question: If you sing along with Celine Dion and no one is around to hear it, are you still a dork?

Also, I think Titanic was one of the worst movies to win Best Picture (and all the other awards). I think the music video for My Heart Will Go On is better than the movie.

The key is, Foxy, to not tell anyone. Then no-one knows you're a dork. But, then, in this case, it's already too late.

For how awful that movie was, it's interesting what kind of an influence it was on our society.

We went to see HMS Pinafore at BYU with my mother and sisters, and at one point they did the "I'm Flying" scene (where she stands at the prow of the ship with her arms outstretched.)

Anyway. probably overlong in the comment department

The worst date of my life was early winter 1998. Our activity? Titanic. Let's just say that the movie gave my date too many ideas. The only moment I really remember vividly (from the movie, not the date), is the band playing "Nearer My God to Thee" as the ship sunk. I bawled my eyes out, but still thought the movie was mediocre. However, that movie is forever linked to the date and I've never seen it since.

Celine's diva-moment at the Oscars that year while she was singing, still makes me do belly laughs. I too must admit, however that if the song "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" comes on when I'm in the car alone, I sing as if I was trying to make sure they could hear me in Cleveland.

I am pleased to say that I have not seen Titanic, and do not plan to either!

I actually just saw titanic for the first time a few weeks ago, it was on tv. It was not that great. The part at the end when the ship was sinking was interesting (I know that sounds bad, but it's just because I didn't know how it had sank and some of the details and stuff so it was educational.)

I don't think there is anyone who doesn't love to belt it out to Celine Deon. Kind of interesting considering she's pretty impossible to sing.

If you haven't read it already, Eric D. Snider's Snide Remark's column called "Clash of the Titanic" is a classic.

Hate that movie. My 13-year-old cousin insists that I watch it with her frequently. I'd much rather take her to fly kites or something productive.

I read your question aloud to my SIL who said, "Yes. You write whoever it is and tell them yes."

"I can't do that," I said, "I sing along with Celine Dion!"

Silence.

"You do not."

"Yes, I do."

"Well..."

So I guess you and I are dorks together.

The Truth Comes Out

I have a problem when it comes to buying shoes. Well, it's actually a problem with buying clothing in general. I'm cheap. Very cheap. I tend to have arbitrary price limits in my head and refuse to buy anything that costs more than that. This does come in handy considering our limited funds for things like clothing and shoes, but it also means that I tend to have a wardrobe of odd, non-matching, ill-fitting clothes. While it's true that I have found some great things at thrift stores and on clearance, I definitely have other clothes that are just plain lame. I will often choose to buy things because they are cheap, even sacrificing what I really want because it doesn't fit my predetermined price conventions. I am convincing myself to buy this jacket because it is comfortable, stylish, fits a wardrobe need (I don't have a blazer or jacket), and matches a skirt I already have. Oh and it comes in petite, so I can get a large that won't squeeze my tummy and not hav

Happy, Happy Blog-day Foxy Dear

Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of my blog. I had no idea where my life would go when I started this blog, and it's fun for me to read back through the archives and remember feelings and events that I have already forgotten. I think the most surprising thing about blogging that I have discovered is the sense of community. I have about fifty blogs that I follow somewhat regularly; many of them are people I haven't ever met in person. I still consider them to be my friends. I've been very grateful for all the virtual support I've received from so many people who don't really even "know" me. Miss Nemesis recently celebrated her blog's special day by asking lurkers to come out of the woodwork and reveal who they were and how they found her blog. She got 52 comments. If you want to make my day, see if you can top her numbers. Maybe then I can change my blognym to "Queen of the Universe".
