I love his 80's movies the most. But I also just like him because he's not the shiny, pretty guy like Brad Pitt, but he's still cute and funny and smart. And he gives awesome interviews.
I love the 80s movies too. Mom and I watch them on the weekends (when we can get the tv off Spongebob) b/c you can always find one on and they're usually something we can agree on watching.
Christmas cards. If I get enough of them addressed and finish my fest fic (which is languishing b/c I have a hard time writing Snape just now) I can write Mikey/Alicia. Which really means that probably when I finish the cards, I'll stare at the half-written fic, then I'll switch to Mikey and Alicia. :D
Red is Republican here. Iowa usually votes Republican, with a small concentration of liberal Democrats in the south-east. His family lives in the far northwest part of the state, which is extremely conservative, and his grandma and mom are very active in the local Democratic party activities.
Hee, when she met John Kerry in 2004, she couldn't say enough about how nice he was, and how personable, and she didn't understand why he came off as so stiff and unapproachable on TV. And handsome. She kept saying that he had the same type of charm as JFK.
You know, I wondered about that. Because it's not like that flesh stretches back, does it? I have the same thoughts about my tattoos, actually, and that's why I get them in places that don't change much. Because, seriously, one of my friends in grad school got one around her bellybutton. Cute, and sorta hot when she wore a short shirt and jeans low on her hips. But when she was hugely pregnant? NOT SO CUTE. So I can imagine how ink on my belly or on a breast would look when it's gotten saggy or wrinkly later in life. Ick.
My friend Steph has a dragon tattoo on her belly and through her first 2 pregnancies it wasn't bad, but with her third she had to have a c-section & the incision was over part of her tattoo & now it's crooked.
Also, I'm too chicken to get a tattoo or piercing at all. I had my ears pierced once but I quit wearing earrings when I worked in the call center.
That would totally suck, because that shit's permanent. I'd be pissed.
I had three sets of ear piercings, but the third set was never healed well, and when I stopped wearing earrings because the holes were infected, they closed completely. I'd love to get my eyebrow pierced, have wanted to since I was about 16, but first my mom hated it and wouldn't let me, and I couldn't afford it when I was a poor student, and then A hated the idea, so I never got it done.
I like John Cusack too, and so does The_Con_Cept. But of course I wouldn't say "yum". I do think he's managed to stay a good actor but not cocky about it. Identity was great.
My Italian dictionary says the singular "barista" covers both genders, but the plurals are "baristi" (m) and "bariste" (f). Weird.
And I hope MrIris's grandma favors either Kucinich or Edwards. But how could she stare at his backside while they were talking? Must have been in the round.
She actually favors Richardson or Obama or Clinton. Which sorta freaks me out a little, because Obama and Clinton are Republican-Lite IMO, and I can't say why, but Richardson does not fill me with confidence either.
I didn't think to ask about the front/back issue of the jeans, I was so amused when she came out with that declaration. :)
With Richardson, it's probably (for me, at least) the fact that Melissa Ethereidge was so astounded by his belief that homosexuality is a choice that she said, "Maybe you didn't understand the question..."
Yeah, there's that. And somehow, I just feel like he's another hanger-on from the Clinton administration. And I'm not really convinced that the "extensive" foreign policy experience that gets touted is really pivotal. At this point, I'd say pretty much anyone else's foreign policy would be better than the Shrub's.

Is red associated with D or R? Not sure ... here red is Liberal & blue is Conservative. Nice buns? Go Grandma!
Pierced ears, yes... anything bigger than that, no way. It just looks painful, you know?
