Merry Christmas.

I can't sleep. Lots on the mind.

So, I'm watching Stand By Me. Best movie ever.

It makes me smile.

So, the first time I saw this movie, I was like 9. I probably shouldn't have watched it at that age considering the subject matter, but you know--I did.

And, nine-year-old me fell head over heels in love with Gordie LeChance:



Gosh, I love this movie:
Gordie: "Alright, alright, Mickey's a mouse, Donald's a duck, Pluto's a dog. What's Goofy?"
Vern: "If I could only have one food for the rest of my life? That's easy-Pez. Cherry-flavored Pez. No question about it."
Teddy: "Goofy's a dog. He's definitely a dog."
Gordie: "I knew the $64,000 question was fixed. There's no way anybody could know that much about opera!"
Chris: "He can't be a dog. He drives a car and wears a hat."
Gordie: "Wagon Train's a really cool show, but did you notice they never get anywhere? They just keep wagon training."
Vern: "Oh, God. That's weird. What the hell is Goofy?"

Bahahaha. It's love.
