Still getting used to this. I am not very eloquent. Don't expect too much.
I will post some "top fifteen" lists.
I will rant on about stuff.
I will clog up your internets with junk.

Top Fifteen Movie Songs 14/15 (in no particular order that I will admit to): 14) "Some Enchanted Evening"
Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Film: American Graffiti (1973)
["Some Enchanted Evening"?]
{Yeah}
[Really?]
{Yeah}
[Of all the great songs in the film... Really?]
{Yeah. Hush. I'll explain.}
I remember it well; the first I saw the film. I was about 10 or 11. I was in the hospital and feeling really down and drugged. Mom was like, "Hey, LQ," except she never calls me 'LQ', "Do you want to watch such and such," and, "Blah blah is coming on later." And I was like, "Whatever, Mom, I don't really care... mumble mumble zzzzz."
Then I had like stirred, like, "Han Solo never said that, mumble mumble... zzzzzz."
Then I heard Harrison Ford singing "Some Enchanted Evening" and I started laughing. I just started laughing so hard I started crying. I was still laughing when the nurse Mom called came in. Nurse was like, "Okay, she's laughing? So?" Mom said, "I haven't heard her laugh in 4 years." That was sobering. (She called Dad later when she thought I was asleep... just to tell him that I laughed.) But anyway, I think Falfa was great. I idolized Milner. It was such a fun and heart-felt story.
I really like the song "Green Onions", "You're Sixteen", "Do You Wanna Dance"... the list goes on...
I really like the way the story was told - through the night, bouncing back and forth through the plot lines - then the little wrap up at the end.
... the thing about deciding where your heart belongs, even when it is not the easy thing to do.
... the thing about following your dreams, but knowing your limits.
"Some Enchanted Evening" was so out of place; completely random and non-sequitur. This big ol' cowboy breaking out into opera to break the silence.
So, there you have it. #14 of my top fifteen songs-from-films list. This one was more late from the "getting-round-to-it" than from any indecision. This has always been a special film for me, and mostly because if this song.
I am currently sixteen years old, but I expect that will change, eventually - maybe.
I started fencing about 4 years ago, with varying levels of competitiveness. I mostly fence for health reasons (stress, fitness, sanity; well, 2 of 3 isn't too bad.)
The club where I fence is kinda limited on the schedule, so several of us get together on our own.
I teach a little kids fencing class at the local community centre, but it is a small town, so it doesn't always make.
I was infected with HIV in 2000, when I was about 7. I am living with it and have a descent life – or I should say most of the issues I have were pre-existing. I managed to control things with diet and exercise, but since about 2005, my immune system surrendered and I started my chemical regime.
During the school year I live with my dad and in the summer I stay with my mom. Except this year - staying with Dad. They get along ok as long as they do not have to live together – in the same city. Alaska is kinda big, so they can manage to be in the same state.
I like reading
I like cycling
I like music
I like school, but not so much the people in it... myself included because I am evil, just so you know.
Sometimes I have issues and whatnot going on in my life and whatnot and I will sometimes blog about it, but mostly I like making Top Fifteen lists. Just search for "Top Fifteen" and you can skip the malarkey.
