I'd do the movie one...but I seriously can't remember last time I went to a movie theater. Or saw a movie outside of that wacked out movie night we had. Which...let's face it, how many of us actually watched the movie?

It was so horrible I couldn't look away, no matter how hard I tried.

1. You actually helped us rescue Teddy as opposed to, say, running away never to be seen again.

2. "Blitzkrieg Bop", definitely. The lyrics don't necessarily apply in any way, shape or form, but the music and the word "blitzkrieg" are all you.

3. Dye your hair. Seriously. It's like a blank canvas!

4. For everyone's sakes, avoid the koalas.

5. "Did Billy accidentally clone himself in there?"

6. "Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws."

7. Did you get a chance to really go running around before your school blew up, or was that the first time anything happened?

1. Coming back to help us out even though you weren't Super Eli anymore. That was pretty cool.

2. The Neverending Story II. I only saw it a couple of times, but I remember it took the whole movie for Bastian to get back to being himself and being comfortable with it.

3. Watch The Snow Queen, apparently.

4. Let her come. I'll set her on the stove and she'll melt!

5. "Well, at least someone's trying to get these assholes." The guys who were robbing us, I mean.

6. "The most powerful factors in the world are clear ideas in the minds of energetic men of good will."

7. What's the weirdest thing you've ever found in the library? (Seriously, I want to know!)

I liked the first Neverending Story. Never saw the second. I was the kid that read "Ten Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," when I was 10 and had my backpack tossed in the dumpster.

Weirdness abounds in a place with old books. I think coming across the reprint of the pornographic 16th century woodcuts is up there. I guess it's easy to forget that previous generations were not as gentle or refinded as they like to pretend they were. Then there was the guy that answered the staff's questions in Lenny Bruce quotes for his twelve hour visit. I also don't think "Ghostbusters," was lying about the ghost on the third floor, but that's a longer story.

I'd like to see the looks on the faces of whoever tossed your backpack in the dumpster if they tried it now.

You'll have to share that story sometime soon, you know. Ghost stories are always interesting.

And is the Snow Queen movie based on the fairy tale?

Yeah, it's this animated version I used to watch all the time when I was little.

The library has a copy from some weird thing Showtime did in the '80's. Fairy Tale Theater.

It was...actually one of my favorites growing up. ::looks embarressed:: Grandma used to joke it was on permanant loan when I was a kid.

That is so cute! I always admired Gerda's persistence more than anything, but the Snow Queen looked pretty cool in the Impressive Villainess way in the version I saw.

I'm not sure that anything will erase the memory of Gandalf's Interpretive Dance of the One Ring.

I always knew, deep down, that he was one of those über-artsy types.

1. I heartily approve of the wing-growing.

2. "Geek Love", because if anyone at your school had a single clue as to what a catch you are they'd be all over you. It would be hopeless, but they'd try.

3. I'm thinking of getting my belly button pierced when my birthday rolls around, you should definitely come with if I do.

4. Have you tried a radio?

5. "The Hulk looks a lot smaller in--okay, that's not the Hulk."

6. "Do not judge men by mere appearances; for the light laughter that bubbles on the lip often mantles over the depths of sadness, and the serious look may be the sober veil that covers a divine peace and joy."

7. Doesn't your rapid healing effect all those piercings?

7. I definitely had to remember to keep fiddling with them so that ears wouldn't grow shut around them. But they healed into their new "pierced" state pretty quickly as well, so I tended to get my piercings early in the morning and then sit for awhile and spin them; then I'd be ready to roll by lunchtime.

I like to pretend that that Animated LotR doesn't exist. The one time Penny watched it, she destroyed the tape. And the VCR.

Soon I'm going to be making an active effort to suppress the memory of watching it.

1. I really admire how you and Penny stick together instead of just becoming hermits or something.

2. Pete's Dragon.

3. Hanging out would be a good start, so I can get to know both of you better.

4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).

5. I vaguely remember a guy with something like fire coming out of his face after that Dr. Sinesis shocked me.

6. "Over the years your bodies become walking autobiographies, telling friends and strangers alike of the minor and major stresses of your lives."

7. What does it feel like, having your bodies so different from the way they were born? If you don't mind my asking, that is.

7. It's difficult, but I'm adjusting. Penny doesn't seem to remember what it was like to have something like a normal body, but I can tell that she finds a lot of things frustrating.
