"When one’s universe is separated into sides, and one has chosen among the sides, the surest signs of intellectual honesty are expressions of sympathy for one’s other and antipathy for one’s own."
Christian Bale, because I really think I'm a little bit in love with him. I've loved every movie I've seen him in, from "Little Women" to "3:10 to Yuma." Plus he's the sexiest man in the world, whether he's wearing molded black Kevlar, or he's playing a dirty, peg-legged Civil War veteran. By the end of Yuma, he was full of bullet holes and covered in blood, doing a wonderful job of dying a very poignant death, and all I could think about was how sexy his eyes are. Damn I want him.I also have an odd kind of attraction to Alan Rickman...in fact, I blame a good deal of my sympathy for Snape on the fact that Alan Rickman plays him. He's just so good, I have to like him. I also want him to read poetry to me, and buy me a piano, a la "Sense & Sensibility."Lastly, I would absolutely love to meet Jimmy Eat World (all of them, of course, not just the Jim part). I feel that they are almost singlehandedly responsible for a lot of the music that I have come to love in the last five years, and their music has become kind of my own personal soundtrack. There's a song for every situation. If I could marry any band (which is, of course, essentially impossible and irrational), it would definitely be Jimmy.

My sister, for being completely herself and completely comfortable with it. My mother, for loving me enough to be honest with me, and for dealing with my neuroses. My father, for somehow managing to make Buddhism and Catholicism make sense together, and making other people believe it, too.
