Love You Later

Blogging Friends.... In case you have noticed, I've began closing comments with "Love you later". See, Robert Downey Jr. won a Kids' Choice Award the other day for "Best Butt Kicker", and he closed his speech with the words "love you later". I liked that!! A lot!! So now, I am writing/saying it. Because I am an oddball, and proud of it!! Love you later.

I seldom ever double-post. But this was just written in my private Word Document journal. It needed to be shared. Right. Now.

You know what? I have, throughout probably my entire life, loved "old guy" Hollywood celebrities. It began with Dick Van Dyke, I believe. When I was a little girl watching "Diagnosis Murder". I also "crushed" on his son, Barry. But only because he played a policeman!! Okay? I am a sucker for men in uniform!! Anyway. Then, in my teenage years, I developed a "thing" for Harrison Ford. Well, he hardly counted, anyway. I was really in love with Han Solo!! However. Being "in love" with Harrison Ford brought on some teasing from family for "liking" someone who is old enough to be my Grandfather. Sorry, Harry!! Next up was Tom Hanks--who, by the way, is the same age as my Mom!!--and whenever anybody were to ask me how old he was I refused to reveal it. Yes, refused. Fast forward to today. I love, love, love Robert Downey Jr.!! Love, love, love. A dude who used to be so "lost, lost in narcotics", that everybody--friends, family, the world at large--predicted an "untimely death" on his behalf. Well. Robert Downey Jr. turned 49 years young today--nearly midway to 100!!--and for the first time, for the first time, I am unashamed at admitting an actor's age. Because I'm so proud. Proud of him!! And because all logic screams through a blow horn that Robert Downey Jr. never should have made it this far. To age 49. Thank God that Robert Downey Jr. is "hard to kill"!! Do you see the things he does to me?!

Happy, happy, happy birthday, Robert Downey Jr.!! Here's to many, many, many more.

Thank-you for the comment, Friend!!
"Happy Birthday to RDJr from us to. He sure has come a long way." I can't but agree!! RDJ has com e a long, long, LONG way!! And how did he spend his 49th birthday? By "partying hard" {You get that little joke, right?!} with a ton of elementary school-age kids and watching "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"!! He is so freakin' cool!! ;op; April 5, 2014 at 7:19 AM

Thank-you for the comment, Friend!!
Oh. My. Gosh!! It just occurred to me--right this very second--that I misspelled Dick Van Dyke's last name!! It has a "y" in it, not an "i"!! Whoops. I just corrected that cosmic error!! ;-}
"Shame about Dick Van Dyke's English accent.". Huh. I have only really seen Dick Van Dyke in three things. "Mary Poppins". "The Dick Van Dyke Show". And "Diagnosis Murder". When did he perform a poor English accent? ;op; April 5, 2014 at 3:21 PM

Now this is embarrassing. Either I, with my early morning groggy head, accidentally deleted your comment. Or Blogger ate it. I am unsure of which scenario occurred. Anyway. I did read it!! And thank-you for the comment, Friend!! ;op; April 8, 2014 at 7:20 AM

"It's A... Terrible Privilege"

{Taken from "The Avengers"}
Tony Stark: You know, I've got a cluster of shrapnel, trying every second to crawl its way into my heart.
[Stark points at the mini-arc reactor in his chest]
Tony Stark: This stops it. This little circle of light. It's part of me now, not just armor. It's a... terrible privilege.
Bruce Banner: But you can control it.
Tony Stark: Because I learned how.
Bruce Banner: It's different.
[Banner tries to read the computer screen, but Stark slides the data aside with his finger so the two can see face-to-face]
Tony Stark: Hey, I've read all about your accident. That much gamma exposure should have killed you.
Bruce Banner: So you're saying that the Hulk... the other guy... saved my life? That's nice. It's a nice sentiment. Save it for... what?
Tony Stark: I guess we'll find out.
[Banner and Stark get back to work at their respective computers]
Bruce Banner: You might not enjoy that.
Tony Stark: You just might.

Raelyn:

I am a 31-year old American woman. I was born with multiple birth defects. Craniosynostosis. {I did not have any soft spots.} Congenital diaphragmatic hernia. {I had a hole in my diaphragm.} And Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. {I had an irregular, rapid heartbeat.} All three birth defects have been surgically repaired!! I live with "developmental delays". Learning disabilities, if you will. Such as--unfortunately--premature short-term memory loss. Oh, and I have attention deficit disorder, as well!! I do not like to evade such an issue as my learning disabilities. No. It hurts sometimes to be different. I was also diagnosed with a condition called folliculitis decalvans. {I am more than likely going to lose my hair, go bald, and unveil twain Frankenstein-like surgically-created craniosynostosis scars. Permanently.} But God is gradually teaching me that we are all, as my phrase goes, Beautifully Unique!!
