So, it was all cold and blizzardy this Saturday and I took the opportunity to resurrect my favorite sit-around-in-jammies-all-day movie...the Anne of Green Gables movies! hehe. Actually, I just watched "Anne of Avonlea". But anyways, it brought back such lovely memories of childhood and rainy days and sitting around wishing I would have Anne's life and wishing that Gilbert Blythe would show up. lol.

This is so hopelessly uncool it should probably go in the Confessionals.

Anyone else out there as uncool as me and want to reminisce?

Sula, I know how you feel. Saturday was such bad driving I was barely allowed to leave my house (another advantage to living with parents...). But I did get out, I went to a friend's house and we did girly things and watch girly movies. A good night for relaxation. Until I drove home and almost went into the ditch a thousand times. Stupid ice/snow/sleet whatever.

Read? Books? You read books?

Jest kidding, it's been so long since I've gotten to read a book using my own decisions...biology is pretty much my pleasure reading. And trust me, it ain't too pleasureable.

I'm w/ sula...I read all the books, but around RIlla time, I opted out. I missed Anne. My favs were Anne of Green Gables and Anne of the Island through. *sighs* Childhood memories...

I love the part of the movie (and book) where Ruby goes into hysterics b/c Anne has been sent down the river....

"I'm fishing for lake trout"

One of the favourite quotes in my family and with some of my friends has always been
"I'm sorrrry Anne" .
You really gotta over emphasise Gilbert's accent when you say "sorry".

I read all the books when I was little!

I have never met a male who liked Anne of Green Gables.

If I couldn't have had my Mum and Dad as parents, or my grandparents, and I was allowed to choose...Matthew and Marilla, no doubt about it.
I prolly watch the series at least once a year and I still cry when Matthew dies.

You saying you'd like your parents to be brother and sister?!?!?

I memorized the ENTIRE poem of "The Lady of Shallot" because of Anne.

I still know a good bit of it, even though it's like 70 lines long or something.

"There she weaves by night and day
A magic web with colours gay
She has heard a whisper say
A curse is on her if she stay
To look down to Camelot...."

I loooove that part in the movie where they re-enact it and Anne ends up sinking the boat. And the expression on her face as she is clinging to the bridge piling and Gilbert asks if she needs help. Soooo stubborn! lol.

Other favorites...

-Anne dying her hair green.
-Anne insisting on her name being "Anne with an E"
-Marilla saying "To be in despair is to TURN YOUR BACK ON GOD!" in those stern tones. lol.
-The bit where Anne and Diana go through the woods and fall into the old outhouse hole.
-Diana getting drunk on raspberry cordial.
-Anne selling Rachael Lind's cow thinking it was Dolly (second movie)
-The "Rollings Reliable Baking Powder" story contest.
- Mr. Harris, the guy she almost ends up with (I actually really liked him

)
-When Anne shows Gilbert her book while he's on his supposed deathbed (another tear-jerker)
-The kiss (finally, yay!)

How about Diana and Anne chasing Rachel Lynde's supposed cow through the mud? Heehee
