In that position, I met so many curious creatives with alternate views on life; what many would consider strangely obsessive attachments. I remember when "Lars and the Real Girl" was first released. I really wanted to see it. Then I got distracted with other things. <br /><br />This is the thing I love about participating in this blog hop, you get nudges and reminders about those things which you've forgotten over time, that you were interested in. This movie is a definite "must add" to my watch list.
