I have a sick obsession with the Butcher as well. =]
Great list. I should start collecting Buddhas. =DD

He is just awesome, isn't he! The tatts, the drums, the super cheeky smile, his antics with Sisky, what isn't there to love!

The Butcher is wonderful! I agree with everything you just said about Butcher. That guy is fan-freaken-tastic! I hate flying too.

Looking at what you posted...

1. Many are afraid of flying, and suddenly find one day that the fear has gone. Go figure.

2. Please keep photographing for at least 50 years more!

3. Your obsession with The Butcher is shared with others, as you can see.

4. Elton's "Tiny Dancer" is one of his best!

5. If you studied Ancient Greek History, then you are better prepared to face the world today.

6. Staying best friends with someone from Grade 3 is amazing!

7. You collect Buddhas, I collect dolphins.

8. Being named after the character Lara from the film Dr Zhivago is lovely!

And have your ever lead the song "Lara's Theme" from the film, composed in 1965 by Maurice Jarre? After several unsuccessful attempts at writing it, Zhivago's director David Lean suggested to Jarre that he go to the mountains with his girlfriend and write a piece of music for her. Jarre says that the resultant piece was "Lara's Theme", and Lean liked it well enough to use it in numerous tracks for the film... and to this day it's the most memorable and recognizeable piece of music from the film.

It's a wonderful list!

I love this beautiful piece of music. My dad - who choose my name because of his love of the film - has played the song to me all my life. It has almost become my own soundtrack. I even recently brought an MP3 version from itunes so I could have a copy of it on my ipod!
And thankyou for your responses! And indeed having the same best friend since Grade 3 has been amazing. We have grown-up together and even though we now live over 1500km's apart we still talk all the time and instinctually sense when something is happening to the other person! It IS amazing.

I'm sorry I missed this journal Lara.........I hate to fly and haven't since 1976 and I don't go in boats either.....I'm glad I found another on here who likes Elton John : ) I just lost my best friend in 2006 that I knew for 46 years and it is amazing when you have a bond like you have with your friend from 3rd grade....this was a great journal I did mine many months ago but who knows maybe I'll come up with another one like the NEXT 8 things you really don't need to know but I'll tell you anyhow LOL

I LOVE DANCING
