Me:
It's okay if you're staring in disbelief, I am extremly odd.  We're 
reading the Illiad for literature, and I'm going nuts because no one 
knows anything about mythology (I had to wait two weeks for my 
teacher to even get around to the reasons for the war- Paris's 
choice, ect.)

Me:
I know the whole time I was like, no way, Drake is so better 
(prepared, at being pirates , playing the game, take your pick). On 
that topic, I love the pirate idea, I've had this pirate obsession 
for years and years (since Muppet Treasure Island, best pirate movie 
ever) and so I saw the promo at the end of last season and I was 
screaming, because of the pirates movie with Orlando Bloom (<sigh> I 
love him) and then one of my favorite shows goes pirate, all is 
happiness (even if JKR is after me there are too many similarities 
between me and the evil characters in the books, in names not in 
personality)

Jumping to the other pirate topic, I love the ride too, I have the 
sing along songs where they go to Disneyland and I've watched the Yo 
Ho song many times because they show clips from the ride.  And I 
liked the movie as well, we saw it on opening day and the special 
effects were, wow, there is this sword fight between two of the 
cursed pirates in a partially moonlit cave and they are twirling and 
spinning and going from flesh to skeleton and it is beautiful...
 
Now going back to the original topic, I really want to see the 
movie 'Troy' with Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom, he's being Paris, 
which I found funny, since Legolas was the example for how Paris 
looked in my class (it's a small world after all it's a small world 
after all... can't wait for that movie and the tiki room movie ;-)).

That's Interesting
