i am still a child at heart

Is it sad that I still know every single word to Dirty Dancing? And that I watched it again tonight, for what has to be more than the hundredth time? I used to come home from school and watch it every single day. My cousins and I used to have a lot of Barbie storylines set to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. Our Barbies were dirty, skanky bitches and they did things that Mattel never intended Barbies to do. We're talking soap opera drama spanning years and years, with dedicated characters and relationships. If I were honest, I'd tell you that we met now and then way past the time we were totally over playing with dolls to continue the story. We wrote things down so we'd remember where we were at. I just kept thinking of Barbie and Ken going at it while I was watching my former love interest on-screen. I was so in love with Patrick Swayze, and pretty sure I'd marry him when I grew up. He's older than my dad, you know. Apparently I didn't think that was creepy, but I also had a thing for New Kids on the Block at the very same time so I guess there's no accounting for taste when one is nine years old, is there?

Nobody puts Baby in the corner, dudes.

I too loved Dirty Dancing and NKOTB. GOd I would dream of marrying all 5 of the New Kids. One year i had a party with cups, plates, napkins etc for my birthday with NKOTB. Did you see Dirty Dancing Havana NIghts? It seems to be after the first one, maybe I am wrong, but there is no Baby, only Johnny.. makes one wonder what happened to them! ;)

No, I haven't seen it. I figured it wouldn't be any good. I didn't even know he was in it until last night when I googled him to find out how old he is now. I guess I'll have to rent it sometime because I would like to have seen it, at least.

I didn't comment on your post, I don't think, but I meant to say that I'm sorry things didn't work out the way you wanted, but that I'm glad you're at least able to be friends. Sometimes it goes that way, huh? :) *hugs* I didn't have time right when I read it and then I forgot that I hadn't done it until now. Oops!

You should watch the Havana Nights, its not as good as the first one, but I enjoyed the music in it. Its all salsa type ballroom music, which i like.

I am doing good with my situation, although things have changed yet again... still friends but still changing.. confusion....
