(me on the far right, 2 of my sisters 2nd + 3rd from left)

i've been tagged by several people (most recently by dawn) for 8 things about me but i'm really running out of stuff about me. i feel like i need to start a new category for blog entries "me! me! me! all about me!" or something like that. and yet it's like a dare; i can't back down. how about some favorites this time?

3. favorite movies it's a wonderful life :: the deer hunter :: dr. zhivago :: everything by wes anderson ::  lost in translation :: american beauty :: harold and maude (i know that's everyone's favorite but it's mine, too) :: little miss sunshine :: princess bride :: love actually :: eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

that car in the background is pretty much to die for.

[Jen]

The car! What a great picture. Makes me really date myself when I look at all those old photos. And the lucky charms below look great just about now.

[jeanetta]

i love all these hmmm shall we say vintage (..not old, nooo way) photos you have been using lately. makes me want to dig out all my moms albums.

[erin]

we share all the same guilty pleasures.

[Anina]

I've been scanning in old photos myself lately. Aren't they fun?

[Dawn]

analyzing the shit out of everything...that's my top favorite guilty pleasure although until this post I actually put it in a completely different category...thanks for sharing and I don't know what you are talking about. There is always MORE to share. :) xo
Fall is the BEST season ever, ever!!! I love that photo so much. oxo You rock Meg!!!!!

[emily]

Oh my god...I love that you classified "Maudlin" as a genre of music.

You are pretty great, Meg Rooks. ;)

[Cristin]

Ok, why have I've never seen this picture before??? You need to scan it for me or bring it this weekend....please..
and who are the two other girls?

[Heidi]

from the mixed up files of mrs. basil e frankweiler ROCKS! not only did my brother and I read it, we owned a tape recording that was probably worn out from so much play!

[Alicia A.]

No Raising Arizona? I imagined you as a R.A. type of girl. ;)

[christina]

white noise! I can't believe that you also love this book. I think you are one of the only people I know who has read this book aside from me. There is just something about it that makes me want to read all of his work (which I have almost done)...

That said I love getting to know you a little better.

[jenifer]

so fun, we could hang out and eat favorites, and listen to favorites, and watch favorites together and have a grand time as many of the faves are on my list too!

good to get back in the groove of blog catch up & see what everyone has been up to...

I rented Harold and Maude tonight, on your recommendation alone. I'd never even heard of it, and the Blockbuster guy gave me a really snarky look when I asked if they had a copy of, "Henry and Maude". I will now devote 2 hours of post bedtime freedom to movie watching. I'm holding you personally responsible. :-)

Viva La K-tel!

it's so fun to read this! I could have written about 90 percent of this myself. :)

With you 100% on numbers 6 and 7, and 90% on everything else!

a tree grows in brooklyn will always always always be my favorite book. and i have a first edition (squee)

what, no elliott smith? now you just KNOW he's on emo-zach's ipod, honey :)

[Michelle Anderson]

I just love that car in the background. Is that a Datsun? Is it still in the family? Your family has good car style. (My husband is in racing so I think his car awareness has rubbed off on me).

[futuregirl]

You rock. :)
