Opinions and paradoxes

"'And what is your opinion, Miss Price?'
'I'm afraid I do not have a ready opinion.'
'I suspect you are full of ready opinions not yet shared.'"
--Alessandro Nivola and Frances O'Connor as Henry Crawford and Fanny Price in Mansfield Park



"'I love talking about nothing, Father. It is the only thing I know anything about.'
'That is a paradox, sir. I hate paradoxes."
--Rupert Everett and John Wood as Lord Goring and Lord Caversham in An Ideal Husband



It occurred to me that I hadn't shared many of my ready-formed opinions. Must rectify that immediately, obviously. Get ready to read about nothing!

LIKES

*Sonny Corinthos
*When people recognize the depth of my love for Sonny Corinthos.
*When people know who Sonny Corinthos is.
*Researching on the internet.
*When people recognize that by "researching" I mean "surfing the net"

DISLIKES

*Talking on the phone (unless it's my cell phone--I know it's a paradox)
*Books with titles that begin "The Cat Who ..."
*Courtney Mathews (if you don't know, you probably don't want to ask ... unless you're really brave ... ASK ME, ASK ME!! PLEASE ASK ME!!)
*Working. Bo*ring!
*People who don't understand what phone phobia is. I get nervous when I have to call people I don't know, OKAY?
