Firstly....IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW!!!!!

Let me be the second to say, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GIRL!!!!!!!! (My memory'll slip and i'll forget to congratulate you tomorrow.)

HURRAHHHH!!!!I'M 18 TOMORROW!!!!! HURRAYYYYYYY!!!!

> My second reason is to argue for the merits of one of the best films ever made. "The Sound Of Music" Julie Andrews (god bless her and her vocal chords), Christopher Plummer, Baroness Schrader (whoever played her?)and the children.

My favorite thing about the Sound of Music has NOTHING to do with the actual music (although the "So long" song is hopelessly addictive). I love the plot,particularly when they're running from the Nazis.

>Oh and also, have you noticed what fun it is to sing anything in a cockney accent?

My Fair Lady. (R0xx0R!!!!!!!1111) 'Nuff said.

>Great fun to be had by all. Dick Van Dyck and Audrey Hepburn had it sorted.

Hepburn was really amazing, particularly when working with Gene Kelly.

> Oh, one other thing, do you guys in America get either "Diagnosis Murder" with Dick Van Dyke...?

One of my mom's favorites, right beside Perry Mason and Matlock. Why she went into teaching instead of sleuthing, i don't know--she seems to have a real penchant.
