Can we talk forever about LOTR and John Thornton? (=
Friends?

[caffeinatedlife]

John Thornton in LOTR, hmm...I think I would've self-combusted from all the hotness if Richard Armitage was in the movie, LOL xD

Adding you back now! =D

[lennongirl]

Wow, you list Good bye Lenin! on your movies, that's awesome. And a fellow caffeine junkie! Want to give it a try?

[caffeinatedlife]

I came across Good Bye Lenin! after listening to the soundtrack by Yann Tiersen and loved it to bits. Daniel Bruhl is fantastic, he was pretty awesome in Joyeux Noel too =)

Yay for coffee! I would not be able to survive without it xD

Sure, am adding you now (love all the RA photos you have on your layout and profile, hehehe)! Am also adding you on GoodReads (am Li over there) =D

[lennongirl]

I haven't seen Joyeux Noel yet, why, I don't know. I've always wanted to. I need to do it soon. Have you seen him in Inglourious Basterds? Awesome movie.

Same here!

Haha, thanks, I'm quite obsessed with RA. And I'll add you back on Goodreads as soon as I'm back from my steamy bubble bath, I'm freezing over here!

Hello! The Young Victoria is my absolute favourite costume drama film! I also like your favourite Jane Austen adaptations and your lovely list of characters!

May I friend you?

[caffeinatedlife]

Hi! That's cool that The Young Victoria is your favourite drama film; it's a gorgeous movie, I cannot wait for it to hit DVD over here (talk about forever, it only came out in theatres last week or something =S).

And sure, you can friend me! Am adding you back right now =D

[elysium_22]

Thank you so much!!! :)

Hi! We've already chatted on C19, I'm birdie there as well. Just like you, I belong to the small band of die-hard Casualty 1900's fans and I'm also a great Tolkien fan (New Years resolution: reread LOTR). Friends?

[caffeinatedlife]

Hey! Awesome that you're here at LJ. Love your New Year's resolution; same here, only it's to re-watch the movies (sadly, no time at the moment) xD

Sure, am adding you right now! =)

[savepureness]

Hello! I'd be very much interested in becoming friends - we do share a mutual love for books, and we both seem to be genuine bookworms! There are a lot of movies on your list that I enjoyed as well - and, you know, you just seem very much awesome!

[caffeinatedlife]

Hi! Aww, thanks; I just saw your form below and that's cool that we share a lot of interests (books, writing, travelling, coffee(!!!)). Am adding you now =D

[savepureness]

This is so awesome!

Caffeine is a blessing, I`m telling you this. IDEK where I`d be without it!

[victoriangospel]
