Actually when I fell for him was when he was talking to Noah Wyle's character.. If you dig this film as much as me, you'll know it well: the line is "Roberta Sparrow?...*pause*.. Come on.." and he gives this disbelieving smile.... oh god, I just lost it. The smile grabbed and hasn't let me go.  I was gone...

Oooh my golly yes, I dig, I dig!  Actually that Noah's not too shabby either, and I've always had fantasies about Drew (I know, I know, but I'd give it a really good try).  I love recommending DD to people, and then waiting for them to come back a few days later with a strange/pained look on their face... ;)

Hahahaa!! I know EXACTLY what you mean. I actually remember when my sister took my Donnie Darko virginity... she was part-way through watching it, but as soon as I walked in from work, she stopped the video (yup, it was VIDEO back then) and started it again.  She said to me "you HAVE to watch this movie!". And I'm like, "okay, whatever".  And then she told me nothing about it.  I had no clue what it was about.  And I watched it, all the while, my jaw's starting to hang lower and lower.. we got to the end, past that beautiful rendition of Mad World and I looked her, completely dumbfounded (she's giggling mind you) and I said to her - quote :- "What the **** did I just watch?" and we both cracked up laughing, watched it again - I fell hard for Jake, have been utterly obsessed ever since, with both the movie AND His Royal KillerSmileness..

Hey, Chris, don't worry, I'd do Drew as well!!!  In a heartbeat.  I loved her hair in DD. Such is my love for her that I suffered through drawing a picture of Tim Roth, cause it had her in it too.. check it out:

Chut up!

Kirk is my name.  Music is my reason for living.  Okay, I'm overstating things.  If I didn't have music I'd do dramatic acting or writing or politics.  As it stands I'm primarily a singer who's also a songwriter, actor, dancer, CD collector.

Simply an amalgamation of my two favourite words - 'saucy' and 'cobblers'. As I've been asked this before I'll explain the meanings...

Saucy - when something is 'saucy' it's slightly rude or suggestive. I love the way that Barbara Windsor says it in the 'Carry On' films... "Ooooo, you are sauuuucy!".

Cobblers - a cobbler is a shoemaker, but cobblers means 'rubbish' or 'nonsense' - as in "What a load of old cobblers" (my favourite phrase).

You may have gathered from this that I'm from England  ::)

My explanation was over on the IMDb, too, but I'll resurrect this tired old story  :laugh: since you asked!

Years ago,( my first time online and I had to choose a name)  I had NO concept of how closely connected to it I'd be, and for how long.  The name is the same for my email address and for my BetterMost username.  I had submitted several different ideas, all turned down by AOL, so I kept  thinking....   what name other than my own would make me turn and look if I heard it?  That's how I came up with 'Sash'.  It was the name of a character I played in the film, 'Thundercrack!', a VERY long time ago  ;) .  I asked for just 'Sash', but no....so I added the 'CA', simply signifying that I'm a Californian, but still no--  and they said I could have that IF I added these random numbers (that they chose).  So, there ya go.  ::)

Since I usually use the same old name for everything I thought I'd do something different here just because.
 I once had a co-worker who used the phrase "Might as well be sitting in the corner stacking bbs" when referring to a particularly unproductive day. I always liked the phrase, and around the time I signed up here I seemed to be having an unprecedented number of those days.

Amber is my name ... although my login name is msuamber.  MSUamber because I graduated from Michigan State.  Someone on the boards kindly informed me however that msuamber sounded like an African Tribal Chief name so I dropped the msu and kept the Amber *lol* :D

I have had several people send me pm's asking what the 925 after David means. One person asked if the 25 indicated the year I was born. She said I look awfully good in my pic for an 81 year old!

The 925 is the month and day I was born. September 25. And David is my real first name.  :)
