Are we still talkin' about kids all up in here? Because I've had my fair share of them this week.

YES!  I just thought the way they did the colors, him always grey and everything sepia toned, but then beautiful things or happy things in color gradually until the end of the movie was brilliant.  I really liked it.

Posted by nda_roxybabe[/QUOTE]
i didn't think you were implying that, necessarily, but the statement does. i guess i just hope speaking up will do something, however wee, to raise awareness. ok, that sound really lame, but you get the point.

i like you, so i hope i'm not coming off too harsh. like i said, this stuff has really been weighing on me.

and i feel like i'm in a room full of people having a totally irrelevant side conversation. haha

Oh hai, let's be friends.

Frankly, thinking it over last night, the concept of babes in arms on planes makes me twitchy.

Nor would I want to carry around a 25 pound toddler everywhere, so there's that. I often reconsider this kid thing.

If I could take a puppy, I so would.  They are the cutest thing ever!

Actually, you build up to carrying around 25 lbs. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. Granted, I only carry him for about a minute before I make him walk the rest of the way, so there's that.

Daff- Naw, you're fine. Different people, different opinion. I know how you stand on the whole kids thing in general so its not like I'm surprised or hurt by anything you're saying.

I thought it was Colin Firth's best acting job ever. Well-deserved Oscar nomination. Too bad no one saw the movie and therefore no one voted for him!

At first I thought it was a different role for him, but it really wasn't - he was still playing a sensitive, somewhat conservative British dude. The role was just so full of subtle emotion in this film.

And I can't believe that was Tom Ford's first movie ever. Dude knows how to make things look very visually appealing, though.

My only complaint is that it was perhaps a touch slow (though I understand why). I wasn't a huge fan of Julianne Moore, but I get her character. And the drowning motif was a bit overdone.

Also, I tried to distract Vally, I think she even joined goodreads, even though she didn't friend me on there.  Which should mean that she's found MORE than enough books to read without reading twilight, but no.  She's reading it.

Now, I know how you feel about Edward and the vampires.  How do you feel about Pirates?  Because I'll be honest, if someone wrote Pirates of the Caribbean into a series of books, I'd be reading that.  I'm a  Jack Sparrow addict.

Well, if either my brother or I ever have kids, my stepfather will get to "enjoy" the benefits of grandkids without ever having to actually raise kids on his own. I think that's a pretty good deal. So it's <em>possible</em>...

I LOVE PUGGLES!  Herbert doesn't think so much of them though.  And I think 2 dogs is more than enough.

I totally found Moose on goodreads but I didn't friend her because I don't have any friends! I didn't know if Moose would want to be my first

(I don't know why I'm talking about Moose in the third person)

So *ahem* Moose I am going to friend you on goodreads.

Roxy, have you watched Degrassi yet? *taps foot*

I feel like a douche now for getting irritated with my co-workers.  Oh well.

And?  I only want 1 kid, which many people have told me is selfish because they will be lonely.  Really?  Are you assuming they won't have cousins or friends?  Pretty sure there are other kids in the world that I don't need to give birth to.

I'm only having one. If I obtain a second child, it will not be through pregnancy. It will be through adoption or a step-kid.
