Valerie is a 42-year-old, single, Reformed Christian lady who lives in Baltimore. She doesn't remember a time
before she knew and loved Jesus, but she does remember accepting John Calvin into her heart in March of 2000.
Valerie is a member of Christ Reformed Evangelical Church in Annapolis.
Though her career aspiration is to be a housewife, Valerie has not yet found anyone suitable who wishes to hire
her for employment in that field (or, more properly, anyone suitable has not found her), so in the meantime she
earns her daily bread working in communications -- editing, writing, print design and website management.
Four Skills I Do Not Possess

Well, this isn't quite accurate, since white attracts everything.

On July 12, 2007 8:25 AMpentamomwrote... Margaret, when we watched Napoleon Dynamite, we felt exactly the same way. In fact, we liked it so much we bought the DVD. ;-)
Oh, and I forgot to mention that I'm right there on #4 as well.

On July 13, 2007 9:34 AMMargaret in VAwrote... ND is such a strange phenomenon! Why is it such a highly quotable movie? I think it is this generations' Bill & Ted, which we still constantly quote.
Yes, I must admit we bought it too.
On July 13, 2007 10:42 AMpentamomwrote... I think it's so quotable because so much the dialogue is anti-profound, yet instantly recognizable to others who've seen the movie. Things that in the ND world are supposed to pass for everyday speech have a bizarre quality to them that stays with you.
My favorite line is,
"Smashing in the fact of a pinata that resembles Summer Wheatley is a disgrace to you, me, and the entire Gem State."
Now who TALKS like that? And yet it exactly captures the principal's personality and the whole feel of the movie.

I've said, on more than one occasion recently, that *I* should the one wearing a bib instead of the 2 and 1 year olds in my house.
