If you read this, even if I don't speak to you often, comment with a memory of me. It can be anything you want as long as it happened. Then post this to your journal. See what people remember about you.

*hugs* I tend to be late with all the memes too. Anyway, I remember getting to know each other through our journals and IMs. I always appreciate your insightful comments that help me put things into perspective. Your warmth and sincerity are evident when I read things that you write. I enjoy reading your views of the world.

I saw Million Dollar Baby a few weeks ago and I was in awe with what was accomplished. That is straightforward storytelling without special effects getting in the way. It feeds off the emotions and I find the stories of the other characters (not the main ones) fascinating.

I have been having doubts about me helping people out, it has always sounded naive in a way and it is probably one of the areas of work I am least equipped for.You don't have to start with a major project. If you volunteer a few hours here and ( ... )

Hey Reeves, :)

I was just wondering how you were last night. Hope you are well, and work and things are not hectic or stressful for little reasons. *hugs*

Are you going to do this meme too? I will tell you here anyway. My deepest memories are the times you talked about your friends and family, the specific and precise way you described them, full of warmth and love. And all the times you encouraged, supported and shared pieces of your life with me, those have always meant a lot to me.

I was actually much more drawn to the main characters in Million Dollar Baby, though I found the minor characters handled very well and added much to the story. Which characters were you facinated with? I read somewhere that the books that the scripts were developed from, were written by a former "cut-man", and literally tried for decades before finding a publisher for his stories. The struggle people go through ( ... )

:)Thank you so much! *hugs* That really brightened my day. My family and friends mean a lot to me, and I like talking about them-good times and bad. I'll give the meme a try when I get back on Sunday.

I was fascinated with the main characters in Million Dollar Baby too, but their stories played out on the screen. I wanted to know more about Zero and Eastwood's unseen daughter. I know it would have been too much add this to the movie, but I really wanted to know why the daughter sent back every single piece of mail and what caused the separation. I tend to fixate on minor characters in movies and books. I love speculating about their lives.

*sends more hugs* Have a wonderful weekend. :)
