april to dos - film

[There's just so much to get done before Spring Break in the beginning of April, and I have my Midsomer Murders marathon to watch, so this list will have to be pushed back to May./

This list is for movies to either watch for the first time, or re-watch. Maybe for sentimental reasons or just because it's a plain good film. It's one of my spontaneous, yet low-key, hobby.

- Jane Eyre ('44)

- The Trojan Women ('71)
- Mary, Queen of Scots ('72)

- Young Catherine ('91)

- First Knight ('95)

- Dragonheart ('96)

- St. Ives/All For Love ('98)

- The End of the Affair ('99)

- The White Countess ('05)

With the exception of the last two, all of these movies have been around for over a decade. If you haven't noticed already, I like vintage /old/antique-related subjects and items. I'll have a reply post to this after I've watched all those listed. Hopefully, in chronological order as I have above.

definition of love

After ages of ignoring my formspring account, it's pretty entertaining, I've decided to stop beating bout the bush and answer the onslaught of anonymous and identified questions. One of the most interesting from the batch I decided to answer for the day, (who knew my formspring accumulated over 30 questions?) is asking for my definition of love. So here it is:

Q: How would YOU define Love? :)

A: To me, absolutely anything could be love. Even "hate" could be explained or alludes to "love". But if I were to go into detail...

Love is an absolutely irrational way of thinking, where a person will outright disregard their own well-being, safety, and health for the sake of someone else; the person they claim to love with their whole being. Those with this condition will also spend inordinate amounts of money and time for the subject of their "affection". Most, if not all, will put up a defense saying that they feel complete happiness and satisfaction to be in such a state of mind.

It's ironic really; a self-serving, media-influenced, and careless way to carry out life. It could even be said that love is a way to keep the circle of life continuous; via procreating. Some would define it as the "best feeling in the world", where you only experience the positive emotions and a connection to another being who is your "soulmate."

Hope this answers your question.
