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.

I knew every single word to The Wizard of Oz as like a 4 year old. Every.Single.Word. Scenes from the cross my mind ALL the time. I think it's been ingrained in my brain due to how many times I watched it as a kid. My mom said it was my "first movie." Awww.

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who was raised on her! SHE WAS MY HALLOWEEN COSTUME WHEN I WAS SIX, and she is definitely the only actress whose entire body of work I'm familiar with. THE WIZARD OF OZ IS SUCH A GOOD KID MOVIE.
