I feel a little dehydrated today after the marathon I did yesterday. And by marathon I mean the emotional undertaking that was SEEING LES MIS. Turns out Anna was not kidding around. I heeded her demand, and I saw the light. The movie was a masterpiece. But wow, was I ever cried out afterwards. There were a few points during the two-hours-and-then-some at which the theater sounded like a sniffle symphony. I saw it with four people, and we all choked up at different parts. The weeping comes from two places, right? You're crying because heart-wrenching things happen, but you're also crying because you're seeing and hearing things you love with all your heart. Let's see how you score as a Les Mis crier. Some of the film's most poignant moments are below. For each moment, add the listed points if you cried—skip if you didn't. Opening Credits No judgment here. This was a monumental day for most of us. +3 Valjean's Soliloquy My mom started crying more or less as soon as Hugh Jackman started singing. "He told me that I had a soul. How does he know?" +3 I Dreamed a Dream. Here we make way for most
You, sir, are what dreams are made of!

Last night, on Facebook, via the Fort Worth Connie D, I saw what you see on the left. It amused me, due to the fact that it happened to be true, regarding my personal sister sibling situation. Because if you mess with my little sister there is both a bigger sister and a crazy sister behind her, with the crazy one being the one you really don't wanna mess with. By mess with, I mean be in the same room, or state, with. There were multiple comments to Connie D's crazy sister thing, but the first two were the most amusing ones, what with Nina saying that in her family the sentiment expressed is not the case, because the baby sister would rip you apart. While Holly said her sister would have sold her to Gypsies had the opportunity presented itself. Now, my own baby sister would not rip me apart, except in an argument, because she's a lawyer, and that is what they do. However, the crazy sister, well, at various points in time I am sure she would have sold any one of her siblings to Gypsies if she got the chance. This morning I found out that my crazy sister has been removed from Facebook. I have no idea what type craziness one does to get oneself removed from Facebook.
