...and that's all I have to say about that.

I have a date tonight. He's cute. Kind of a chunk, but that just makes him more fun to snuggle with.  His name's Herman, Herman the big brown bear. Herman and I are watching Forrest Gump.  It was a good choice on his part, seeing as it's one of my very favorite movies.  Now, I've never been much for history, but I have learned more about Elvis, integration,Vietnam, hippies, communism, Watergate, shrimping, and life from Mr. Gump than I have from any social studies class I've taken.  His innocence and child-like view of the world draws me in every time, and I can't help but be taken by his charming insight. He reminds us that some of our best men are soldiers and teaches that best good friends are worth fighting for. Jenny didn't deserve Forrest.  What with his undying devotion, selfless disposition, and mad ping pong skills.  But she was his girl, and he couldn't have been more adorable.  Oh Forrest, I am a sucker for dorky boys...don't tell Herman.
