Quotes/sayings/lyrics:
"You don't understand, there are things worth dying for." - Sirius Black
"To escape horror, bury yourself in it."
I love waking up in the morning not knowing where I'm gonna go or who I'm gonna meet. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge, and now here I am, on the grandest ship in the world, having champagne with you fine people. Jack~Titanic
"Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare."
Some people live their whole lives on the edge. It is possible to survive there, Daniel. Just hang on by your fingernails and never look down.Rorschach, Watchmen
"Shouldn't we pass up,
shouldn't we fold?
Aren't certain stories
best left untold?
Some things like
buttons
are best left undone."
To get rid of an enemy one must love them.-Leo Tolstoy
"Recognizing someone else's power does not diminish your own."-Joss Whedon
I like nonsense - it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope... and that enables you to laugh at all of life's realities.Dr.Suess
"Every time I went to a park or into the countryside I would look around and into trees trying to find gnomes. I grew out of that fast, then I started doing acid and it became fun again."
A healthy relationship keeps the doors and windows wide open. Plenty of air is circulating and no one feels trapped. Relationships thrive in this environment. Keep your doors and windows open. If the person is meant to be in your life, all the open doors and windows in the world, will not make them. Trust this truth.

Mature or immature: After staring at this question for 10 seconds I determine it doesn't mean anything and decide to skip it

Wes Anderson
First Wes Anderson movie you saw? Did you like it then?: Like everyone, Rushmore, and like most of everyone, I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread.
Favorite Anderson movie?: Of what I've seen, oh, oh, Fantastic Mr. Fox. Oh, George Clooney was perfect and oh, oh CAMEOS!!! <33333 Adrien Brody as the field mouse and Jarvis Cocker as Petey just made it.
"That's bad writing, Petey! Very bad, lazy writing!"
Least favorite Anderson movie?: Bottle Rocket or The Darjeeling Limited. Because I haven't seen them yet. They elude me and this is annoying. But, no I really don't have a least favorite. I agreed The Royal Tenenbaums was slow, but because my dad hated it so much because Royal is basically him, I fell in love.
Favorite character from an Anderson movie?: The Squirrel Contractors in Fantistic Mr. Fox! As soon as they came on screen I squeeled, "OMG THAT IS SO ADORABLE!"
If you could magically become one character out of an Anderson film for one day, who would you want to be?: Max Fischer, because "I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger / I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was wiser..."
Would you prefer a same gender stamp or all that's listed?: All that's listed, for sure.
Anything else you feel like adding while you're at it?:
