this post + this icon = MY CHILDHOOD POP CULTURE. i miss being 4.

[elapses]

So maybe a week ago captaincatapult came up with this lovely litte meme thing that went like this:

Think of your favorite celebrity, the one who makes music sound better, movies and television brighter, the one you'd dash to the ends of the earth for if it meant you could save yourself from ever having to go a second without their magic. Then post your favorite 15ish photos of him/her! Your favorites of your favorite!

DELIGHTFUL, RIGHT???? The problem is I am not sure I have a celebrity like that. I have pervasive fondnesses for a long list of people, where I sort of smile when their name pops up (BY THE WAY, why didn't I know unti this week that Kate Mulgrew was in Equus with Danrad in NYC??? God, now I want to goooooooooo) but I don't think there's a single celebrity who could draw me to a movie theater with their name alone (although, tbf, I AM SO BAD AT SEEING MOVIES? The year is almost over and I'm pretty sure I've only seen four films in theaters), whose photo repretoire I know by heart (except I am actually inimately familiar with Rachel Bilson pictures??? I... don't even know.). I tend to obsess over my characters, and having a nice, funny actor who plays them is more icing than cake for me.

EXCEPT THEN I REMEMBERED !

I am going to stare at her pretty, smiling face for awhile and pretend her life was actually as nice as it looks in these photos.

I'm actually kind of glad Thanksgiving break is over, everyone I like from college went home and no one I like came home. I meant to do so much, though, and I did... pretty much none of it. STORY OF MY LIFE. I did discover the best yogurt brand at Whole Foods, though, it's called Rachel's and apparently it's British and they make flavors like Peach Green Tea and Berry Jasmine and Pink Grapefruit Lychee. YUM. And apparently Bones is moving to Thursdays in the spring, BLERG, of course they'd do that after Pushing Daisies is gone.

BUT I'M PRETTY SURE I DIDN'T SPRAIN MY KNEE? *\o/*?

Oh and happy birthday to both thecolorbetween and ofadoration! YOU TWOOOO. I'm almost too late as always, but I hope you had lovely days.

OH MY GAH GENE KELLY. We watched Singing in the Rain in my Lit&Film class and I fell in love with that man omg. I really, really need to watch more of his movies. Maybe I'll make that my christmas break goal lol.

Also need to see more Garland films, since Wizard of Oz is it. We did watch a clip of her in class though! Our teacher forgot to tell us which movie it was from, but it was where she was singing You Made Me Love You to her pictures of Clark Gable. I LOLed :P

I think I might have two celebs that I could do this meme for. Oooh, three if I take it back old school like you did. I'll have to see what I can come up with :D

I LOVE HIM TOO, HIS AGILITY AND HIS BIG DAMN SMILE? Have you seen more than Singing in the Rain? IF NOT START WITH AMERICAN IN PARIS AND, um, On the Town. And For Me and My Gal. SOOOOOOOO GOOD.

I think that's from the Broadway Melody of 1940? (I might have the year wrong). She didn't star or anything, it was a ~medley~. I LOVE THAT SONG, THOUGH.

I CAN'T WAAAAAAAAAAIT TO SEE!
