-j. m. williams: thanks for the suggestion! yeah i'm a sociology major & i'm into documentaries & all that stuff. i've actually heard of it before, but haven't seen it yet. my family says hi back:D

allison: well, my favorite movies are the princess bride & the new pride & prejudice (slumdog millionaire might be joining that list!). but i like quirky movies like juno or the science of sleep a lot right now. or sci-fi...or action...really anything but crude humor movies & scary movies. does that help at all?? haha.
