LAYOUT
Take My Hand | Version 5; The layout features clips from Spirited Away, a great movie brought to you by Studio Ghibli Films and directed by Hayao Miyazaki ('Kiki's Delivery Service', 'Princess Mononoke'). The english version includes voice overs by the actors Daveigh Chase ('The Ring') as Chihiro and Jason Marsden (The Weekenders [tv], playing Tito; The Fairly Oddparents [tv], numerous roles) as Haku. Lyrics feature on the layout are from the song "Take My Hand" by Dido. If you decide to check Dido out, I'd suggest buying her first CD No Angel as it's the better of the two. Everything was done in Paint Shop Pro 7. Enjoy! (Best if viewed with IE 5+, or Mozilla Firefox [though some effects may change] in 1024x768) Muchos gracias to teh_indy for her lights textures, ghostarmy, angelic-network.com, and dorky_duck for the brushes, and jacklemmon for the caps. But everything else was made by me, so keep yer hands off, y0. *gansta*

JIMMY EAT WORLD -- "POLARIS"
I'll say it straight and plain / I know I've made mistakes / I've always been afraid, I've always been afraid / A thousand nights or more I travelled east and north / Please answer the door / Can you tell me / {Chorus:} You say that love goes anywhere / In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there / When you go, I'll let you be / But you're killing everything in me {End Chorus}/ Get down on your knees / Whisper what I need something pretty, something pretty / I feel that when I'm old / I'll look at you and know / The world was beautiful / Then you tell me / {Chorus:} You say that love goes anywhere / In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there / When you go, I'll let you be / But you're killing everything in me {End Chorus} / I'm done, there's nothing left to show / Try but I can't let go / Are you happy where you're standing still? / Do you really want the sugar pill? / I'll wake up tomorrow and I'll start / To another, it feels so hard / As a train approaches, gare du nord / As I'm sure your kiss remains employed / Am I only dreaming? / {Chorus:} You say that love goes anywhere / In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there / When you go, I'll let you be / But you're killing everything in me {End Chorus} .

WITTY QUOTATIONS
I've been alive a bit longer than you and dead a lot longer than that. I've seen things you couldn't imagine and done things I'd prefer you didn't. I don't exactly have a reputation for being a thinker. I follow my blood, which doesn't exactly rush in the direction of my brain so I make a lot of mistakes. A lot of wrong bloody calls. A hundred plus years and there's only one thing I've ever been sure of: You. Hey, look at me. I'm not asking for you for anything. When I say I love you, it's not because I want you, or can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you and I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You are a hell of a woman. You're the one Buffy.
-Spike, BTVS

[And yet again, Steff tries to get Andie to go out with him...]
Steff: I've been out with a lot of girls at this school. I don't see what makes you so different.
Andie: I have some taste.
-Steff and Andie, Pretty in Pink

[After Duckie has entered Trax, the place where Andie works, through a door in the back, unwittingly setting a loud alarm off, he tries to explain why exactly he was there...]
Andie: What are you doing?
Duckie: I had to use the bathroom, so I figured I'd come in the back. [Pauses] Are you mad?
Andie: Yes, I'm mad! There're public bathrooms all over the place!
Duckie: I'm not nine, Andie. I know that. It's just that it's the end of the month, they're out of toilet-seat covers!
-Andie and Duckie, Pretty in Pink

Duckie: You know what an older woman does to me?
Iona: Changes your diapers?
Duckie: Touché.
-Iona and Duckie, Pretty in Pink

"Yo man! Next time, I kick yo' ass! Dat'll be dat!"
-Duckie, Pretty in Pink

"I'm off like a dirty shirt."
-Duckie, Pretty in Pink

"We don't have none of this stuff in the boys' room. Wait a minute... we don't got none of this. We don't got doors on the stalls in the boys' room. We don't have [is looking at a tampon dispenser]--what is this..? We don't have a candy machine in the boys' room. We don't got none of that, none of that..."
-Duckie, Pretty in Pink

"Blane! His name is Blane?! That's a major appliance, that's not a name!"
-Duckie, Pretty in Pink

"You couldn't buy her, though, that's what's killing you, isn't it? Stef? That's it, Stef. She thinks you're shit. And deep down, you know she's right."
-Blane, Pretty in Pink

"EAT--MY--SHORTS!"
-Bender, The Breakfast Club

"Once you meet someone, you never really forget them. It just takes a while for your memory to come back to you."
-Zeniba, Spirited Away

"Oh, hell no! I did not leave the South Side for this!"
-Mr Duvall, Mean Girls

Short Girl: Hey, get out of here!
Damian: Oh, my God! Danny DeVito! I love your work! [chases her out of the bathroom trying to hug her]
-Damian, Mean Girls

"[delivering candy canes] Taylor Zimmerman, two for you. Glenn Coco... Four for you, Glenn Coco. You go, Glenn Coco!"
-Damian, Mean Girls

Janis: We gotta crack Gretchen Wieners. We crack Gretchen, and then we crack the lock on Regina's whole dirty history.
Damian: Say crack again.
Janis: Crack.
-Janis & Damian, Mean Girls

"They call this war a cloud over the land. But they made the weather and then they stand in the rain and say 'Shit, it's raining!'"
-Ruby, Cold Mountain

"We got our own story. Called Black Cove Farm: a catastrophe. I can spell it, too. Learned it the same place you did, in the school room. One of the first words they taught me. 'Ruby Thewes, you are a c-a-t-a-s-t-r-o-p-h-e!'"
-Ruby, Cold Mountain

Inman: This doesn't come out right. If it were enough to stand, without the words.
Ada: It is, it is.
Inman: Look at the sky now. What color is it? Or the way a hawk flies. Or you wake up and your ribs are bruised thinking so hard on somebody. What do you call that?
-Ada & Inman, Cold Mountain

"So, it's interesting if you think about it; when you're born, you start to die."
-Leroy, Rennaissance Man

"Dexter's a chicken... CHICKEN!!!! Mooooooooo."
-Ed, Good Burger

"Don't be silly, Dawlish. I'm sure you're an excellent Auror, I seem to remember you achieved 'Outstanding' in all of your N.E.W.T.s, but if you - er - attempt to 'bring me in' by force, I will have to hurt you."
-Dumblydore, OotP

"You know, Minister, I disagree with Dumbledore on many counts... but you cannot deny he's got style..."
-Phineas Nigellus, OotP

"Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have."
-Hermione Granger, OotP

"Wild! I can make that old bloke down there pick his nose again... and again... and again..."
-Ron Weasley, GoF

"Bad news, Harry. I've just been to see Professor McGonagall about the Firebolt. She — er — got a bit shirty with me. Told me I'd got my priorities wrong. Seemed to think I cared more about winning the Cup than I do about you staying alive. Just because I told her I didn't care if it threw you off, as long as you caught the Snitch first."
-Oliver Wood, PoA

"I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death — if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach."
-Prof. Snape, SS

"Because any moment might be our last. Everything's more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again."
-Achilles, Troy

Lee Jordan was finding it difficult not to take sides. "So--after that obvious and disgusting bit of cheating--" "Jordan!" growled Professor McGonagall. "I mean, after that open and revolting foul--" "Jordan, I'm warning you--" "All right, all right. Flint nearly kills the Gryffindor Seeker, which could happen to anyone, I'm sure..."

"Gosh, I don't think that I've ever been stressed out. Why would I be? I've got practically no responsibilities, my job's a breeze and I've got a KILLER rack. Good morning!"
-Karen, Will&Grace

"What's a two-point conversion?" "I don't know... my family's not that religious."
-RFR

"But maybe there's such a thing as too much freedom." "What?! That's like saying there's too much air." "There is too much air... if you're a fish."
-RFR

"You know how men are; they think no means yes and get lost means take me I'm yours."
-Meg, Hercules

"If people could put rainbows in zoos, they'd do it."
-Calvin&Hobbes

Some of you I added, some of you I didn't just because. :/ If you aren't on my new list, it's probably because we didn't have a lot in common or you never commented on my journal. So, check to see if I added you or not and add me back! Those who weren't added, I'm sorry and please don't take this in offense.
