How to Train your Dragon

I just got back from How to Train Your Dragon. It is an excellent film, funny, and interesting. It isn't how I expected it, but it is good. Also, it proves that I am right. :D How, do you ask. Well, when I was ten, I went to TCC. One of the classes I took that summer was with computers. I remember making a web page about dragons (I remember that I made one, but not how I did it. Also, it never got to the interntet. It's on an orange floppy disk somewhere.). I remember saying that dragons were related to cats, not reptiles. Everyone made fun of me, told me I was wrong, etc. (I'm scarred for life.) In any case, I insisted that if dinosaurs were related to birds, then dragons could be related to cats. Well, How to train Your Dragon proves me right because Toothless, the Night fury dragon, is very catlike in behavior, attitude, and even expression/appearance.

I should read the books (by Cassida Cowell).

e e cummings

e e cummings is made of awesome.
He's quirky, creative, original, and one hell of a good poet. I approve.

"listen: there's one Hell of a good universe next door; let's go"
"no one, not even the rain, has such small hands"
"as freedom is a breakfastfood"
"-long enough and just so long / tomorrow will not be too late"
"time is a tree(this life one leaf) / but love is the sky and i am for you / just so long and long enough"
"i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)"
"when the world is puddle-wonderful"
"far and wee"
All of the following poems (couldn't pick lines because the entire things were so beautiful):
"in time of daffodils(who know"
"moan"
"love is a place"
"may my heart always be open to little"
"little tree"
"l(a"
"O sweet spontaneous"
"who knows if the moon's"
"because I love you)last night"
