I Love Lists!

Good morning! I found myself with some rare a.m. time and thought I’d surprise you all with a morning appearance. Surprise! Jess lives and breathes during the day, too!

On Friday, I made my first attempt at the Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge. Today, I give yesterday’s Daily Prompt a try. The Prompt is simply to write a list. You can see the prompt here.

I love lists and debated which list I wanted to present to you. I started a “List of Why I Like Lists,” but then thought this would be more fun. Here’s a list of some of my favorite movie quotes from my favorite movies. I didn’t name the movies in case you wanted to play along.

(1) “Look Kids– Big Ben, the Parliament.”

(2) “Dear God. Make me a bird. So I can fly far. Far, far, away from here.”

(3) “I can’t believe I gave my panties to a geek.”

(4) “I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse.”

(5) “Tell me about it, stud.”

(6) “Nine million terrorists in the world, and I gotta kill one with feet smaller than my sister.”

(7) “You think I’m hostile now, wait til you see me tonight.”

(8) “You jump, I jump, right?”

(9) “Hey, Trav. Don’t knock her up!”

(10) Challenge quote: “You ever seen a duck that couldn’t swim?”

Thanks for indulging my List Love so early in the morning! Now back to our regularly scheduled programming . . .

  5. Ha, (8) “You jump, I jump, right?” I just saw Titanic last night! Since it was April 14th, a Sunday night when Titanic hit the berg, I decided to commemorate the even with a viewing of one of my favorite films. It was a long time since I last saw it and it was a great experience to watch it again. Gosh, I’ve forgotten how wonderful this movie is. It made for a melancholy night, but well worth it in understanding why the ship actually sank.

    1. I am always amazed how great that movie is each time I watch it. I know what’s going to happen and end up in tears anyway EVERY time! I was going to use “I’ll never let go” but I thought that was too obvious and that I’d get the Celine song stuck in my head and be a mess all day!

  6. Your list sounds almost like the main plot points from a surreal movie script that I would be afraid to write.

  8. Fun! Love movie lines! I got a few, I think. I’m getting stuck on #2. I can hear it and picture it. It’s a girl in the middle of a corn field or something like that, running away from someone trying to hurt her. Just can’t remember what movie that is.
