Random Me-Fact: I have old man crushes... Alan Rickman, Woody Allen... Sigh. Old dudes rule.
Random Quote: "I will not carry a gun, Frank. When I got thrown into this war I had a clear understanding with the Pentagon: no guns. I'll carry your books, I'll carry a torch, I'll carry a tune, I'll carry on, carry over, carry forward, Cary Grant, cash and carry, carry me back to Old Virginia, I'll even 'hari-kari' if you show me how, but I will not carry a gun!" - Hawkeye, M*A*S*H...oh no! another Alan!
