oh_deannaToday is a really weird day. I'm in the mood to do something creative, but for the life of me a when I put pen to paper I keep coming up blank. Also, as it was yesterday - it's freezing! I went to the library today and then when I got home I listened to The Duhks last album 'Fast Paced World'. Here, have a Duhks song (not from the album, but a Bob Dylan cover which I adore): It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding). Beautiful, beautiful music. I think I'm going so start doing update posts of things I come across online / think up / feel like talking about. I've noticed lots of people on livejournal seem to do this, so I'm just jumping on the bandwagon I guess! Today's movie is an all-time favourite, definitely in my top ten... who wants a little Grease lightnin'?

SYNOPSIS: When wholesome good girl Sandy and greaser renegade Danny fall in love over the summer, they never expect to see each other again. But when they both discover that they're now attending the same high school, social differences challenge their romance.
WHY IS IT ON THE LIST: That's a crappy summary above, but the others were even worse. This movie. THIS MOVIE. I know all the words to all the songs and everytime I watch it with someone else I piss them off because not only do I joyfully sing along to all the songs, but I recite every little bit of dialogue too. It's such an amazing, classic movie. To be honest, I never really cared much for Sandy and Danny - I mean, I do love them, but my favourite characters were always Rizzo and Kenickie. I never even realised until I was older what was going on in that whole scene were the condom broke. And I never even realised that she had a pregnancy scare. Haha I was so sheltered. Anyway, this movie is one of my all time favourites. It inspires joy and happiness and nostalgia in me, and I love that!
