Upvoted for the swipe at Libertarians.

… it's really a drag that when we're able to turn something shitty that was said into something inspiring and moving, that we can't even enjoy it for 24 hours before our fellow liberals come along and let us know how stupid we are for doing it.

Everything you mentioned in your last paragraph just utterly captured me - the psychedelic head trip after she touched his third eye, the blacklight poster he was trapped in with Dormammu, and yeah, the frozen view out of the hospital window when all the chaos slowed and you could see individual snowflakes falling ……

I saw it once without 3D, realized it was MADE for 3D and saw it in 3D the next time, and it was so much fun that way that I went back to see it in 3D again.

My Fitness Pal is the best. I used them and lost 50 pounds in 2012 and another 25 in 2013. I've been backsliding a bit since then and am using it this year to get about 30-35 pounds off (again) I'm working toward 10 pounds so far.
And it's just the free version I've been using, you don't need to pay anything for the…

What did she do? I always enjoyed her.

If your high school's anything like mine, you will likely find when you get there, that the vast majority of your former classmates got even less done than you did.
