I'm a cotton-headed ninnymuggins

[gwyn]

Had a couple of interesting and sweet things happen this weekend. One was that someone apparently paid for my membership to Pacificon, aka Bitchin' Party. It's an anonymous benefactor but I wish that I knew who it was so I could say thank you properly -- it's an incredibly kind gesture and one that means a lot to me, and it's hard to not know who the wonderful person is! I really didn't mind not being able to pay at this time for one, because fortunately Brynn McK suggested notifying me if they got close to their cap, and I figured that anyway, if I couldn't afford to go, I am at least in the same city so I can hang out in the lobby and see people, even if I couldn't go to functions, and that would be enough. But someone very thoughtful gave me entrance! (I guess Dad will have to find something else to get me.)

The second was that my BFF Keith in Washington DC called and asked if I would come out to DC for the week between Xmas and New Year's if he bought me a ticket. He doesn't really want to spend his (mandatory) time off alone and he figures we can go up to NYC for a bit and do some of the other stuff we didn't get to last time we were there -- I realized the other day that each time I've been there, it's been with Keith at least some of the time. Plus also possibly see some sights I haven't yet seen in the general area -- I'm especially interested in some of the really old cemeteries and Civil War sites, of course. I'll just cross my fingers there will be no blizzards impeding my journeys.

Still struggling with bad feelings, but those were some pick me ups for sure. In the meantime, I had some quotes running through my head the past few days for various reasons, so I thought I would resurrect the "Guess the 15 movie quotes" meme that I love. You know the rules -- no Googling, IMDBing, or otherwise looking up of the lines for the answers. Some are easy peasy, some are a bit more obscure. If you guess right, you get virtual cupcakes.
