DAY 2 - YOUR FAVOURITE MOVIE

The Breakfast Club (1985), originally uploaded by ∆P.

The Breakfast Club (1985)

Starring: Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy and Michael Anthony Hall

I love this movie so much! Even though I have seen it close to 100 times, I never cease to kill myself laughing all the way through. I first saw it when I was in high school and wanted so much to go to their high school. Back then Judd Nelson was so hot (now he’s kinda gross)!! John Bender is definitely on the list of fictional characters I would love to get down and dirty with!!! I always wished they would do some sort of sequel for this movie because I was dying to know what happened on Monday morning when school got back in. Did they ever speak to each other again??? I guess, we will never know!

Memorable Quotes:

John Bender: Yeah, I have a question. Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardobe?

John Bender: Hey, how come Andrew gets to get up? If he gets up, we’ll all get up, it’ll be anarchy.

[Richard Vernon places magazine rack in front of door to hold it open]
John Bender: That’s very clever, sir. But what if there’s a fire? I think violating fire codes and endangering the lives of children would be unwise at this juncture in your career, sir.

Claire Standish: What’s your name?
John Bender: What’s yours?
Claire Standish: Claire.
John Bender: Claire?
Claire Standish: Claire. It’s a family name.
John Bender: Oh, it’s a fat girl’s name.
Claire Standish: Oh, thank you.
John Bender: You’re welcome.
Claire Standish: I’m not fat.
John Bender: Well not at present, but I can see you really pushing maximum density. See I’m not sure if you know this, but there are two kinds of fat people: there’s fat people that were born to be fat, and there’s fat people that were once thin but became fat… so when you look at ‘em you can sorta see that thin person inside. You see, you’re gonna get married, you’re gonna squeeze out a few puppies and then, uh…

John Bender: Uh, Dick? Excuse me; Rich. Will milk be made available to us?
Andrew Clark: We’re extremely thirsty, sir.
Claire Standish: I have a really low tolerance for dehydration.
Andrew Clark: I’ve seen her dehydrate, sir. It’s pretty gross.

Richard Vernon: [From his office] Jesus Christ Almighty!
Richard Vernon: What in Gods name is going on in here?
Richard Vernon: What was that ruckus?
Andrew Clark: Uh, what ruckus?
Richard Vernon: I was just in my office and I heard a ruckus.
Brian Johnson: Could you describe the ruckus, sir?

DAY 1 - YOUR FAVOURITE SONG

Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day

Too easy!

This has been my favourite song for the past 4-5 years ever since I first heard it. It is so cliche, but I have always felt like this song “spoke” to me, it just got me! Even in the most happiest time of my life, where I was happy and in love, I always felt like, deep down…at the end of the day “I walked alone”. And now that I am alone, it feels even more relevant. This song is my comfort, it makes me reflect, reminise and dream of better, happier times…

“My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
‘Til then I walk alone”

MIA

I know, I know!!! I have been missing in action for a while now!

I apologise I have been bogged down with work shit, doing loads of reading and spendin' a helluva lot of time on Tumblr, which makes me feel like I am 16 years old again stalking celebrities. This time around, all things Green Day/Billie Joe Armstrong are being cyber-stalked. I sometimes wonder whether I am the oldest person on the planet using Tumblr as all my "friends" appear to be 18 years old or younger. I am sure they will soon be sick of my lame old lady ways :).

I am doing a 30 day survey/challenge thing on Tumblr, which I may post on here as it's usually an easy way to complete a post. I apologise in advance if I cover ground already covered here...which I know I will...
