But I also get the impression that you can volunteer the reasons you got her at any time & no one will judge; no one will think you're too crazy or not crazy enough, and that's how you make friends. After all, what else is ther to talk about? So I tell Bobby:"I'm here because I suffer from serious depression." "Me too." He nods. "Since I was fifteen.""

Amanda I don't own them, but I watched it and I read the book. And basically around the same time too. What about you?

Same, Same. Don't own them, but I'll probably (w/ a 85% certainty) buy them this year!
Read in August 2010. Watched in March/April (don't remember which month) 2011.


Amanda good good! I barely buy movies, or books. I'm sort of wondering when I'll get into the habbit

Nah, it's a bad habit & you waste lots of money anyway. I mean, a DVD isn't even a long-lasting solution to storing your favourite movie. It depends on the DVD's lifespan, like, e.g. Gold label DVDs can have a lab-rated life-span of 100 years.
If handled properly, they obviously last longer. Few years up to 30 years usually though.
