Juno

Ever since reading about the movie in this review, I was pretty decided about watching it someday.
The basic setting of the movie (16 yr./8 grade girl gets pregnant after having unprotected sex with a friend) is foreign to us (since 16yr. olds aren't sexually active here). However, its a matter of years before such issues start cropping up around here.
Since whats best about the movie and what made me fall so in love with the movie's easy flow is aptly summed up by the above article, I'll just share the title song. Not only did I catch the lyrics in the very 1st go (which is rare with English numbers) they kinda appealed to me as well ...
If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, let the cold winds blow

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

Saw juno last night and I was about to post on the same when i recollected your post and I must say that I was going to post very similar thoughts :) I guess I'll restrict my post to just the opening couplet of the song! :D

It shocks me to believe that this was your last post, you can't be this irregular with your blog at least! :P

PS: The comment above this is a spam!
