I've Got My Spine, I've Got My Orange Crush

I am watching the BBC version of Pride & Prejudice and I literally (literalllly) had to stop between tapes because of ALL THE ROMANCE.

Oh! MyGah!

I know I like to think I"m not going to be one of those girls that gets all flowery but you guys I love Mr. Darcy so much. I can't even begin to tell you what happens when Jane Austen and I get together. I start out okay, and then somewhere in the middle I start to get lost in the dresses and the countryside and the language and then I'm CRYING and it's all so romantical I could just die!!

*SIGH*

So anyway, last night was girl's night, and we were all drinking wine, and watching The French Connection because somehow (Death Proof) me and Jaimie decided it would be fun to watch all the famous car chase movies. However, the movie was boring, so the conversation turns to our movie/tv boyfriends. I say that I still totally think the Highlander (TV Highlander, not Movie Highlander) is way hot. The girls agree. Then Jaimie says "If the Highlander raped me, I don't even know if I would call the cops. I might. But I might just brag about it."

It was quite possibly the most perfectly funny thing I have ever heard.

Later on in the night, we discussed girl crushes. See, at work we had this whole girl crush conversation, and MY girl crushes were totally dissed. That is a whole blog entry by itself. I bet you can't wait.

The girl crush conversation led into the "older man crush" conversation. We named names while we were waiting for the Big! Exciting! Car Chase! in the French Connection to happen. It never did. (I think I owe Jaimie $8 American dollars because I bet her the chase that we thought might be the chase wasn't actually the chase because that wasn't that great of a chase. Did I mention we were drinking?)

Okayokay! So here's the best part. Well, the best part might be the Highlander Rape thing, but this is totally up there.

Today I was talking to Dana about the older man crush thing, and this is how it went.

Me: So then we talked about older men we had a crush on.

Dana Dane: Oh, yeah. Who'd you say?

Me: Sam Elliott.

DD: Oh yeah, Sam Elliott's a good one.

Me: And Bruce Willis

DD: Oooh, Bruce Willis.

Me: It's embarrassing how much I love him.

DD: What about Harrison Ford?

Me: *nod* Good

DD: And Andy Griffith.

Me: Andy Griffith?

DD: I like him, okay??

Me: Seriously?

DD: Yes. Since I was a little girl.

Me: HA-HA, ~You like Andy Griffith~

DD: I used to watch those old black & white episodes over and over again. I'd be like "Oh, Andy..." I never understood why Helen didn't marry him. I was like "I'll marry you, Andy."

Me: Helen was a skank. You know, Andy wouldn't put the moves on you right away.

DD: No..

Me: He'd like, play you a song on the front porch on his guitar.

DD: *swoon*

Me: Aunt Bea would make you a plate to take home.

DD: She would.

Me: He'd walk you home, too.

DD: *sigh* He would be such a gentleman.

Me: Of course he would.

DD: Then when we got married, I'd get freaky.

Me: Oh, Andy!

DD: Cuff me!
