figure skating, writing, languages, acting, exercising, cooking, dancing (anytime, anyplace), being crazy, watching movies, singing loud and off-key, kissing an upside-down spiderman in the rain, re-establishing the toga as a viable dress option, being me, seeing/helping/having dreams come true, pondering the oddities of life, raccoon eyes, impersonating greek gods, travelling all around the world, becoming famous, spending money, living life to its fullest, winning walk-offs and shimmy contests worldwide, telling it like it is, conversing for hours on end, random miscellany and the department of redundant redundancies
anyone and everyone... if you haven't seen "The Story of Us" go out right now and see it! You'll understand this quote a whole lot better, too... it's very me... "No, that's not why I'm saying Chow Fun's. I'm saying Chow Fun's because we're an us. There's a history here and histories don't happen overnight. You know, in Mesopotamia or ancient Troy or somewhere back there, there are cities built on top of other cities, but I don't want to build another city, I like this city. I know where we keep the bactene, and what kind of mood you're in when you wake up, which eyebrow is higher, and you always know that I'm a little quiet in the morning and compensate accordingly, that's a dance you perfect over time. And it's hard, it's much harder than I thought it would be, but there's more good than bad and you don't just give up. And it's not for the sake of the children, but oh god, they're great, aren't they? God, and we made them! I mean, think about that: there were no people there and then there were people and then they grew. And I won't be able to say to some stranger Josh has your hand or remember how Erin threw up at the Lincoln Memorial, then I'll try to relax. Let's face it, anybody is going to have traits that get on your nerves, why shouldn't it be your annoying traits and I'm no day at the beach, but I do have a good sense of direction so at least I can find the beach, which is not a criticism of yours, it's just a strength of mine. And, God, you're a good friend, and good friends are hard to find. Charlotte said that in Charlotte's Web and I love how you read it to Erin and you take on the voice of Wilbur, the pig, with such commitment even when you're both tired, that speaks volumes about character and ultimately isn't that what it comes down to, what a person's made of? Because that girl in the pith helmet is still in here. Beep, ba-ba-beep. I didn't even know she existed until I met you and I'm afraid if you leave, I may never see her again, even though I said at times you beat her out of me. Isn't that the paradox?! Haven't we hit the essential paradox? Give and take, push and pull, yin and yang, the best of times, the worst of times. I think Dickens said it best. The Jack Sprat of it: he could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean, but it doesn't really apply here. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm saying Chow Fun's because I love you." - Michelle Pfeiffer in "The Story of Us"
