I like to think I'm aging like a fine wine............LOL!

I remember a quote of Lincoln "The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read." Thank you Bon :), you bring your experiences to us :).

Hey girls............you two are very wise at such young ages! Good friends are truly what gets ya thru all of life's trials and tribulations.
I find that the older I get the more I feell the need to weed out what is called 'fair weather' friends.......those who don't feed my soul and who aren't there when I reach for them. I think it's an awareness that time is growing short and that we shouldn't waste it.
(can ya tell I'm in a pensive mood? LOL!)

Eirian, I for one would love to read your analysis on the movie! And you´re right, it´s a bittersweet tale right?
They say the first casualty of war is truth. But I´ve also heard it´s innocence, and this movie shows that in a very endearing way. Plus, young Nic is seriosly hot in that sweatshirt, LOL!
Thanks for the post, Eirian :). I'll watch it this Friday on HBO. Just can't wait :).

Saw Racing with the Moon yesterday... no analysis this time, LOL!
I found it a simple yet touching story; maybe it's because my age is similar to the main characters. :) It faithfully reflects the emotions we teens have... about love & friendship especially. And those naughty acts bring me a hearty laugh... yeah some are what we still do now!
Just want to recommend this film to those who haven't seen it... you'll enjoy it very much, for I believe we all have that bittersweet time!
