Valentine's Day Movie Meme

So many surveys around the blogosphere lately! As you probably know, I put one of my own out last week, and one of my favorite bloggers, Meredith of Forever Classics, is doing one too in honor of Valentine's Day! I'm a romantic at heart so this will be a lot of fun to answer.

Valentine's Day Movie Meme 

1. What is your favorite romantic comedy?
It's hard for me to pick just one! A lot of classic films to me are romantic comedies. And of course, there are a lot of new romantic comedies, and though I have seen my share of them they're more entertaining then something I would feel sentimental about. So I don't think I can pick just one :/ But some towards the top of the list would have to be The Philadelphia Story (1940), It Happened One Night (1934), all the Audrey Hepburns - Roman Holiday (1953), Sabrina (1954), and Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), all the Doris Day/ Rock Hudson, like Pillow Talk (1959)... do His Girl Friday (1940) and Bringing up Baby (1938) count??? Several of the Fred and Gingers, too. Oh, and if you're interested in a more modern romantic comedy I like, I did enjoy While You Were Sleeping (1995) - Sandra Bullock is a modern actress I must admit I do like, at least a little. ;) There's my very very complicated answer for you.

2. What is your favorite romantic drama?
These questions are so mean!! -;) If I'm to pick one, I'll likely go with An Affair to Remember (1957). This one makes me tear up everytime. Cary and Deborah are just so perfect. <3 But there are plenty of others I like too. Now, Voyager (1942),  Casablanca (1942), Random Harvest (1941), Woman of the Year (1942), This Property is Condemned (1966), West Side Story (1961) - just to mention a few. Old movies are so romantic! But I would probably have to choose Affair as my favorite.



3. Worst romance film you've seen?
I don't know if this really counts, but I've got to go with Lucy and Desi: Before the Laughter (1992), a TERRIBLE, tacky, awful, TV movie about Lucy and Desi's marriage, covering their meeting and marriage in 1940 up to the start of I Love Lucy in 1951. {Thank goodness it ended there and did not cover Lucy and the divorce, I'm picturing what this would have been like and am dying a little inside} Frances Fisher plays Lucy very unconvincingly. If she holds her head really still and stares profoundly into space, she does resemble Lucy a tiny bit, but I'm just going to be blunt and say she wasn't beautiful enough to play Lucy. Plus she had all these wrinkles and craw's feet on her face, she just looked way too old. Then some nonsense soap opera actor named Maurice Bernard or something like that played Desi, and he was even WORSE. He had the most terrible Cuban "accent" I've heard in my life, and an annoying habit of saying "Joo" instead of "you" {My friend and I have a joke about this, "Joo want to marry me?"}. This movie takes Lucy and Desi's love story and tears it apart and turns it into a parody. This is by far the worst movie on Lucy I've ever seen. It's on the Tube that was you, but I would say to avoid it like the plague. Lucie called it tabloid fodder and countered it with the amazing documentary about her parents that included their home movies. Thank God for Lucie Arnaz.

One critic said something like, "If joo gonna do something this tacky, at least make it funny!"


4. How do you feel about the majority of romantic films being labeled "chick flicks"?
My understanding about this question is, what's my opinion on romance films being labeled as a fluffy genre for females to weep over? I could be wrong, that's the way I interpreted it, however, and that's the way I'm going to answer it, lol. Anyways, to that note, I'm not sure how I feel about it exactly. I guess females do lean to romantic films more than men do, but to that, there's no reason why guys shouldn't be able to enjoy or get teary over romantic films the way girls do. It shouldn't make them any less 'manly'. Also, a majority of romantic films {especially, you know, the classic ones ;D} are excellent movies that shouldn't be labeled as fluffy, and "chick flick" usually suggests "fluffy" or "mindless". So maybe "chick flick" isn't a nice term after all.


5. Favorite on-screen couple?
Another mean question! Lol. I can't just pick one pair. {I'm sorry that I have no ability to be decisive!} I'm really not sure. Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler, certainly, though you know that I feel that "Gone With the Wind" isn't a great love story. Ronald Colman and Greer Garson's characters were adorable together in Random Harvest (1941), and so were the Bette Davis and Paul Henried couple in Now, Voyager (1941). I also have to give a nod to Nick and Nora and the Minivers - both of which had perfect marriages! Also, David and Susan in Bringing up Baby (1938), just because that movie is perfection. And Alicia and Delvin in Notorious (1946), because Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant are perfect together and they should have gotten married and had a bunch of gorgeous children together - you know, like, Isabella Grant. {CRUEL QUESTIONS.}

One day I'm just going to have to do one whole post on the two of them and, you know, let all the feelings out ;-)



6. Favorite off-screen couple?
Like you guys are really there scratching your heads, wondering what my answer could possibly be to this, and like I'm sitting here on my side of the computer screen contemplating hard between oh, Bogie and Betty and Carole and Clark and Kate and Spence and - LUCY AND DESI. There's probably no need to get into this because everybody knows how I feel about the two of then, but I'll get into it anyway! Yes, Lucy is my favorite actress, but it's not like I assume by default that Desilu is my favorite. If there is one question on this list I'm decisive about, it's them. I know as well, and likely much much more, as the next person that their marriage was riddled with problems. And that it ended in divorce. But their love for each other inside, despite everything else, was so strong, and that's how they managed to stay together for 20 years. And that love never died, despite the divorce. I mean, Lucy called Desi two days before his death and told him she loved him. It would have been their forty-sixth wedding anniversary. If that doesn't kill your heart, what does??? Plus - lest we forget - this is the union that forged I Love Lucy!




7. Best kiss in a movie?
This may sound prudish, but the kisses in classic films are so much more romantic. I don't care that they were limited to 3 seconds, they were always more meaningful than the kisses in today's movies, despite the fact that today they can go on forever - and usually do! I'll probably go with the famous scene from Notorious (1946). Ingrid and Cary's little kisses while they chatted about the chicken in her icebox was Hitchcock's way around the Hays Code rule, which might just contradict what I said, but Cary and Ingrid are perfect so I don't really care :)

8. Favorite romantic scene?
asdfghjkl This is hard ;) I guess my response to the latter question could qualify as a romantic scene, since it's really a string of kisses and dialogue that lasted for a few minutes. Maybe the the phone scene from It's a Wonderful Life (1946)? Though several scenes from An Affair to Remember (1957) are tugging at me...

9. Who are two film characters you wished had gotten together, but never did?
I thought that Greer Garson's character and Robert Taylor's character in When Ladies Meet (1940) would have been a good pair but they never did get together. But I guess in reference to something better known, I'll opt for Scarlett and Rhett in Gone With the Wind (1939). Yes, I know they SPOILER did get married in the movie, but if you check out the link above to the post about GWTW not being a love story, you'll understand my reasoning behind that. Besides, Rhett did leave Scarlett in the end of the movie. Bonnie Butler was dead. Melanie Hamilton was dead. All Scarlett had left was Tara and wimpy Ashley. So in my opinion, Rhett and Scarlett never truly "got together" in ultimate joy and happiness. And besides, Real Gone With the Wind never came out, so we'll never know if Rhett ever did give a damn about Scarlett again!




10. Two actors you think would have great chemistry, but never done a film together?
Easy. Cary Grant and Greer Garson. These two would have been a match made in heaven, don't you think??? But all they did together was an OTR broadcast of Bedtime Story. This breaks my heart. WHY? Why did it never happen? Them both being British - and Greer being the top box office draw during WII - I mean, seriously? I weep. Buckets and buckets of tears.

11. Favorite romantic song in a film?
I don't know if it's my all time favorite, but it definitely one I like and it's the first song that popped into my head when I heard this question. 



I guess the lyrics aren't obviously romantic - I mean, they could mean a lot of things -but considering what's happening while they sing it, I think it qualifies!



12. Best score from a romance film?
The theme from Now, Voyager (1942). I think it's called, "It Can't Be Wrong". It was used in Mildred Pierce (1945) too, which makes me giggle - a score from Bette's movie used again in a Joan Crawford film! But this music is so beautiful it should be used in every movie, lol. So gorgeous!


13. Most romantic film quote?
"Oh, it's nobody's fault but my own! I was looking up... it was the nearest thing to heaven! You were there..." said by Deborah Kerr's Terry McKay in An Affair to Remember (1957). There are a lot of romantic quotes, though. This is the first one I thought of. I just love this movie though! 

14. A film you'd recommend to watch on Valentine's Day?
Well, you'd probably watch a romantic film on Valentine's Day. I can't pick just one perfect romantic movie! There are SO many! But if I am to suggest just one, I'll follow up on the latter question and go with An Affair to Remember (1957). 


I know I already answered one of the questions with this movie, but I just love it so much! Deborah and Cary are just asdfghjkl. I need to talk about Deborah more. I LOVE HER {this reminds me, you see}

***

Well yeah, that's it! Thank you, Meredith, I had a lot of fun with this meme. It's not Valentine's Day yet, but I'll say it anyway: Happy Valentine's Day, readers!

I'm Doing a Classic Film Survey!

First I'd like to apologize for missing the movie review on Sunday. It was a really crazy day and I couldn't get around to the computer. To that note, it's been a pretty wild week.

But that's not going to stop me from getting this survey started! I originally thought about doing this back in December, when I reached 50 followers. In the busyness of the holiday season it was hard to do, and so I set the date for mid-January, but, thanks to an overload of schoolwork, I couldn't do it then either. I had the survey written out and the banners and everything, but it just didn't seem like the right time to host my first blog event.

So we're doing it now! Kicking off February with a start! This is the month I was born in, so what better time for me to host a survey?

Lol. I have seen this type of a thing turn out really well for some blogs, so I'm crossing my fingers it'll work out nicely for my blog, too. :) It's 15 questions long and I worked hard to try to be as original as I could with the questions since surveys and movie memes have been done so many times before.

I made a banner for it - with Lucy, of course. If you're interested in doing this survey, please, by all means, answer the questions at your blog! That's the purpose, I really hope you all will participate because I'd love to see your answers! And if you do, be sure and leave me a comment with the link. :) Also, if you don't have a blog, or would rather not post the answers there, feel free to leave me your answers in the comments below.

That's about it! You're free to reply to this survey pretty much whenever! If any of the questions seem confusing, I've answered them myself below so you can see how they work. At the bottom I'll post a list of the questions without my answers so they can easily be copied and pasted. I hope you all enjoy this and a bazillion thanks to anyone who may choose to participate :) This is my first blog event, like I said, so I'm nervous and excited and can't believe I'm finally, you know, doing this - all at the same time. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good turnout!

(I couldn't really think of a fantastic, exciting title for this movie meme so I'm just going with Classic Film Survey for now. :D)

Classic Film Survey
by Frankly, My Dear

1. Favorite Classic Disney?

I'll go with Cinderella (1950). If I ever take "Which Disney Princess are you?" quizzes (lol, don't laugh) I get Cinderella each time, though I definitely don't look all that much like her! I love the movie, and I love the music - A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes and So This is Love. This movie just makes me happy, and I adore it.

[via]

2. Favorite film from the year 1939?

So this pretty much goes without saying - Gone With the Wind (1939). I mean seriously, for what other reason would this blog be called "frankly, my dear"? :)

3. Favorite Carole Lombard screwball role?

I know, terribly mean question. I had to think it over myself for a little bit. But I'm coming up with Irene Bullock from My Man Godfrey (1936). I mean, she says stuff like, "GODFREY LOVES ME - GODFREY PUT ME IN THE SHOWER - GODFREY LOVES ME!" Who could ask for anything more?

4. Favorite off screen couple? (It's ok if it ended in divorce)

LUCY AND DESI DESILU LUCY AND DESI DESILU gee, I'm really going to have to mull this one over for a little bit!! I mean, there's honestly so many, I just don't know, I'm really going to have to think about it -


You saw this coming, didn't you? ;)

5. Favorite pair of best friends? (i.e - Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda, Joan Crawford and Barbara Stanwyck, etc.)

Well, yeah, I hope this makes sense. Basically your favorite pair of classic Hollywood actors that were really good friends in real life - like I said above, Jimmy and Henry, Joan and Barbara, are examples. I choose Olivia de Havilland and Bette Davis. They made a few movies together and Livvie stepped in when Joan bailed out of Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1968). They got along really well in real life, and as much as I love Bette, I can imagine she was probably a personality that wasn't always easy to get along with, but these two did!

6. Favorite actor with a mustache? (i.e: Charlie Chaplin, William Powell)

I basically mean a permanent one. It's okay if they shaved it off for a role or two, but I wasn't really thinking of vice versa. This reminds me of the Mustache Hall of Horror I did for Bette's blogathon back in November! lol. But the actor that truly rocks a mustache, in my opinion, is 


Clark Gable. Though he looked just as handsome without the mustache, perhaps sometimes more so, the mustache is just a part of Clark. What would Rhett Butler ever be without it?

7. Favorite blonde actress?

So the platinum blonde image of Marilyn Monroe is pretty much the posterchild for Classic Hollywood - though Jean Harlow did it first, as I like to remind everyone - but there were several other actresses that rocked blonde locks!

My problem with answering my own question is: was Ingrid Bergman truly blonde? I would think that at least when she was young and doing pictures in the 40's, it was a dark, dirty blonde shade. (Because it photographed kind of dark in black and white). Later on, when you see her in color in movies like Cactus Flower (1968) and Autumn Sonata (1978), it's completely brown however. I know that people with a blonde/brown hair oftentimes find their shade of hair changing over the years, so perhaps is the case with Ingrid.

So I think Ingrid is a blonde. Therefore this would make this question hard. But since's she not completely blonde, and was brunette in the later years, I'll go with  Grace Kelly. She was totally blonde, and it was natural (though, of course, the actress you choose for your response could certainly be bottle blonde, too, however!). And she was blonde until she died in that awful car crash. So Grace. :)

8. Favorite pre-code?

I'm asking this question for my own benefit! Like I said, one of my film goals this year was to watch more pre-codes as I've barely seen any! So I'm hoping you all would be able to mention some great pre-codes for this question! As of, I'll go with It Happened One Night (1934), which isn't startlingly pre-code but, of course, a fantastic movie.


9. Which studio would you have liked to join?

This is kind of like how Harry Potter fans sort themselves into houses. -;) Classic Hollywood is famous, sometimes infamous, for it's studio system, with each studio having its distinctive qualities. You have several choices, like MGM, Warner Brothers, RKO, etc., just don't put yourself into Monogram!!

I'm going to have to go with MGM. I mean, the tagline for the studio was "more stars than there are in the heavens!". Plus, if I worked at MGM, I would be working alongside some of my favorite stars!!! Here's one of my favorite photos, a whole crowd of MGM stars gathered for Louis B. Mayer's birthday, at a time when Lucy, Greer, AND Kate were all working there:


10. Favorite common on screen pairing that SHOULD have gotten married?

Basically a couple that made several pictures together that really need to have gotten married in real life. :) Like, you know, Bill and Myrna, Errol and Olivia, Fred and Ginger, etc. I guess Kate and Spence could count, but since I kind of consider them truly married anyway, I'll go with Walter and Greer. The Pidgeons! One day, someday, I'm going to have a pair of pigeons and name them Walter and Greer. :D

11. Favorite I Love Lucy episode?

It's hard to pick just one, but for me, it'll have to be Lucy is Enceinte, from 1952, the famous episode in which Lucy tells Ricky she's pregnant. Perhaps it's not the funniest out of all the episodes, but it's certainly the sweetest. Knowing that Lucy and Desi's tears in the end were real just kills me. (This is in a teary reference to question 4, how can you not adore these two?)

12. Lucille Ball, Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn, Natalie Wood, Grace Kelly, Ingrid Bergman, and Greer Garson - which one do you like the best?

Okay, this one was out of my own self-centered curiosity. If you read my blog often you'll probably know that these seven are my very favorite actresses, with Lucy being number one and the rest in no particular order. I was just curious about it, so I decided to throw it in. Don't worry, I won't be offended if Lucy isn't your number one ;)

But, she is, of course, mine.


13. Shadowy film noir from the 1940's or splashy colorful musicals from the 1950's?

I'm just getting into film noir (another film watching goal of this year), but I love it a lot. However, since I'm still wetting my feet in it, I'll go with the latter. Because also Singin in the Rain (1952) was really one of the films that drew me into my classic Hollywood obsession, and will forever be one of my favorites.

14. Actor or actress with the best autograph (photo preferred)?

This is in kind of a slight reference to What's my Line?. Whenever an actor or actress "signs" themselves in on the slate, I'm always entirely inquisitive about their autograph. It's usually pretty amazing. My favorite, of course, will be Lucy's. Our handwriting is actually quite similar, a fact I really revel in.


Her gorgeous signature on the bank card of hers that I own.

15. A baby (or childhood or teenage) photo of either your favorite actress or actor (or both, if you'd like)?

Because, what could be cuter than a series of photos of Classic Hollywood stars when they were tots? ;D

Here's Lucy's (call me biased, but it's my favorite out of all the baby photos I've seen. SHE'S SO ADORABLE. And that bow!) --


And here's Cary's (he's a pretty adorable young boy, too, I think!) --


***

Well, there's my answers to my own survey, and now I want to see YOURS! Don't forget to leave me a comment with the link to your replies if you post it on your blog, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. :)

Here's the banner I made, and a copy friendly version of the questions:


1. Favorite classic Disney?
2. Favorite film from the year 1939?
3. Favorite Carole Lombard Screwball role?
4. Favorite off screen couple? (It’s ok if it ended in divorce.)
5. Favorite pair of best friends? (i.e: Barbara Stanwyck and Joan Crawford)
6. Favorite actor with a mustache? 
7. Favorite blonde actress?
8. Favorite pre-code?
9. Which studio would you have liked to join?
10. Favorite common on screen pairing that SHOULD have gotten married? 
11. Favorite I Love Lucy episode?
12.  Out of these actresses which one do you like best: Lucille Ball, Ingrid Bergman, Natalie Wood, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Greer Garson, Grace Kelly, or Katharine Hepburn?
13. Shadowy film noir from the 1940’s or splashy colorful musicals from the 1950’s?
14. Actor or actress with the best autograph (photo preferred).
15. A baby (or childhood, or teenage) photo of either your favorite actress or actor (or both, if you’d like.)

I hope you like it, and thank you to anyone who may participate! I really hope you do - those fingers are still tightly crossed - and yes, I mean YOU. ;)

New Year's Movie Meme

Hi everyone! I'm on my holiday vacation (and I've still a week more) and have been having a wonderful time! I actually plan to do a post about what I've been up to later this week, but for now I'm going to do Rachel's New Year's meme.

I love surveys, though I haven't done any yet on this blog so I'm excited to do this! Rachel's doing this in celebration of her reaching fifty followers. I too reached fifty last week, and I also had been pondering about taking the leap of faith and doing my own movie survey. I don't know, what do you guys think? Let me know - if I know people are interested I'll have more confidence to make one! (If I do, it'll probably be in a month or so).

As for now, here are my answers to Rachel's!


1. What is your all-time favorite Grace Kelly costume?

This is a cruel question. I really can't pick just one, absolutely everything Grace wore was beautiful and gorgeous. I don't think I could possibly choose an all-time favorite but for me, here's one of the strongest contenders for that title:

from "High Society" (1956)

I honestly didn't even like "High Society" all that much, but this dress is simply gorgeous. *swoons*

2. What classic film would you nominate for a remake?

This is also a hard question because I don't really believe in remakes of the classics. Even if a film wasn't all that good the first time, well, Hollywood today couldn't make it any better than it originally was. So out of my devotion to Classic Hollywood I can't really come up with an answer for this one.

3. Name your favorite femme fatale.

Gilda.



She was my first experience with a femme fatale, and I think Rita Hayworth did a wonderful job. To me Gilda is the posterchild for a femme fatale, and especially since she was willing to simply "put the blame on Mame," for everything she did.

4. Name the best movie with the word "heaven" in its title.

Hmmm... See the sad thing is, I haven't even seen "Leave Her to Heaven," which I know is pretty terrible and I'll have to remedy that soon enough. (I also really need to see "All This and Heaven Too".) The only movie I can think of (which also happens to have Gene Tierney in it), though it's probably not the best, but I'll go with it anyway, is: "Heaven Can Wait." (1943). Don Ameche stars in it.


5. Describe the worst performance by a child actor that you’ve ever seen (since Laura gave me the idea).

Don't kill me, guys. Don't send me hate mail or anything! But I'll have to go with Shirley Temple in "The Littlest Rebel" (1935). I actually detest that movie on several levels, and here's another confession: I'm really not that much of a Shirley Temple fan. I respect her because she was one of the biggest movie stars of that era, and I do like a number of the films she made as a teenager, but... still not her biggest fan.


6. Who gets your vote for most tragic movie monster?

Guys, I'm sorry to be annoying again, but I really haven't seen any monster films at all! So I'm going to have to pass on answering this. But for that matter, do you have any suggestions for monster movies?

7. What is the one Western that you would recommend to anybody?

I'm not much of a Western person either but I'm going to say "The Searchers" (1956). My dad had to force me into watching this (he also forced me into "High Noon", but I like this one better), and in the end I had to admit it was pretty good. (NO, I was totally not influenced by Natalie Wood's presence in this movie... what? what are you suggesting there?...)

 
What? No? Natalie had nothing to do with it....

8. Who is your ideal movie-viewing partner?

Pretty much anyone who is a classic movie lover. Anybody who has ever watched a classic film with someone who isn't a fan of it will know what I have endured. Partly it's my own fault because I decide to be all stubborn and force some of my friends to watch classic films because I think by some miracle they'll be converted and we'll just sit around and have conversations about Greer's voice or Bette vs. Joan or the horrors of Cary Grant growing a mustache. A good example is when I made a group of my friends watch "Gone With the Wind" (1939). I told them about Rhett trying to smash Scarlett's skull and Atlanta burning to the ground and Rhett swearing and all that exciting stuff, and I put it on. But they only lasted about twenty minutes before taking to Facebook. And I was sitting there like an idiot, going, "Look! Atlanta's burning! Melanie's dying!"  (Mind you, these are the same people that said that Greer's voice wasn't perfect...)

I will never get people who don't love classic film. But, each to their own, as they say...

9. Has a film ever made you want to change your life? If so, what was the film?


As much as I love film I can't think of one particular film that changed my life. I try not to let things influence me to that certain of an extent. But classic film in general has a big influence on me and the way I act though. (Does that totally override my last statement?). Classic movie stars are my role models and inspirations, which some people may roll their eyes at, but I think I'm getting a lot more out of looking up to Lucy than I would Kim Kardashian (or any other "reality star" of today for that matter). So the basic answer is not one particular film but just classic movies in general. They have a positive influence on me definitely.

10. Think of one performer that you truly love. Now think of one scene/movie/performance of theirs that is too uncomfortable for you to watch.

Hmm. Well one performer that I obviously truly love is Lucy. And I will watch her in absolutely anything, even an advertisement for Snuggies. However, I have to admit, "The Big Street" (1942) is uncomfortable to watch because Lucy is really mean in it. Like, her character is awful. Not to mention it's also a pretty bad movie, THOUGH at the same time I feel she gave one of her best performances (she also looks really gorgeous in this movie). Does that make any sense at all?


I guess what I basically mean is that it was hard seeing Lucy play a character so mean and heartless because we're used to the Lucy we all love. But at the same time she did a really good job of playing this cold character, in what is still a 2 star movie. (??? sigh).

11. On the flip side, think of one really good scene/performance/movie from a performer that you truly loathe.  

Before I answer this, I want to make a point of saying that I DON'T LOATHE HER, she's just not one of my favorites and I do think she is overrated. Yes, just a little. But please don't send me hate mail (and besides, I'm actually praising her in this answer).

So who is this "her"?


Yes, Marilyn Monroe. But I really liked her in "Some Like it Hot" (1958) - it's one of my favorite films in fact and she was quite good in it. In general, Marilyn tends not to be one of my favorites, but I really did like her in this. 

12. And finally, since it will be New Year's soon, do you have any movie or blogging-related resolutions for 2012?

I think to get better at my movie critiquing and a little more serious about it. So basically to become a better movie reviewer. And I think to also be able to strip down layers of the film - stuff like the actors, the movie score, heck, even the poster - to its core and really be able to analyze that better. I think that's what a real critic would do, and then think about the other stuff afterwards, whereas for me it tends to be in reverse. And since I review a movie every Sunday, I'm definitely going to get a lot of practice in doing this!
***

I had a lot of fun answering these questions and finally being able to do a meme! Thanks for making this, Rachel, and congratulations on reaching fifty followers! :)

I'm probably going to write another blog sometime later this week about the fun classic Hollywood related stuff I've been doing over break. But if I'm not able to get around to doing it, well.. then... Have a really happy New Year! And I'll see in you in 2012!

PS: If I made a meme of my own and you think you'd do it, let me know. :)
