This will forever be the only Robin Hood for me
I don't care if it's the crappiest Mel Brooks movie, back in the day (i.e. middle school), my friends and I would go into town after school every Friday. With nothing better to do, oh, because we were in middle school, we would go to the public library and somehow convince them every week to let us Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Literally. Every Friday. They would always let us, which was the weird thing. We'd take over a room with a projector, eat candy from the candy place down the street, and recite the lines we knew by heart.
I was so awkward in middle school (I still am, but now that I'm older, it's just called "eccentric" or "quirky" and is apparently more of a plus, though I'm still totally a weirdo). I was small and pudgy and liked dragons and books and Simon and Garfunkel.
I've come to realize though that I was pretty awesome, it's just that no one knew it yet.
Then:
Now:
Compare and contrast!
I prefer that one too...

Then:
I was horribly, horribly awkward in middle school... I was into Beast Wars/Transformers, and I thought I was an animal. I was scrawny and had chicken legs and giant buck teeth... but... this picture, and your description of yourself brightens up my day. You are way too awesome for words, and it makes me wish I lived in Montreal so we could be friends.
Guuuh, so many Robin Hood choices!
However, the Disney Robin Hood has a severe lack of Cary Elwes and pre-breakdown Dave Chappelle
Middle school was such a weird time anyway.
And look at us now; we're awesome and probably better off than anyone who didn't have a personality during middle school.
P.S. I totally thought I was an animal too. I was super into Animorphs for the longest time.
Come visit Canada then! We can get drunk and recount middle school tales. I have so many. They were so painful at the time, but now they're just hilarious.
Also, the funny thing is, because of who I was then (in terms of awkward and a little odd), it's made my life so much better. I'm friends with my closest circle of friends because, on the second day of 6th grade, I thought some girl was sitting at a table by herself. Because we had always been told to sit with someone if they looked alone, I sat with her. We were chatting when suddenly all of her friends came back to the table. It turns out that she wasn't alone, she was just waiting for her friends to come back. Oddly, they didn't kick me out and I ended up being friends with most of the people at that table, which then led to me being friends with their friends, which led me to where I am now.
Weird, right?
I don't care if it's the crappiest Mel Brooks movie,
Hmm. I have to disagree. The worst Mel Brooks movie was Dracula: Dead and Loving It.
haHA! You are the winner.
I know what you mean about the man-love - it's soooo cute! They all hugged onstage too, eee
Me too!! NONE of my friends like McFly, and they laugh at me for loving them... so at the moment it's just me and my sister getting all fan-girly. But now I have you too - yay!!!
Yeah, I love Dougie too. kjshgfajkdfgdfg All of them really, I can't choose.
Harry's baldness has grown on me, but I think I still prefer him with hair haha.
hmm, mebbe we should start our own thread and flip out and be fan-girly all we want, instead of congesting the happy list thread.
eh, oh well
MIGHTY BOOSH FANS. GO TO THIS VIDEO IT WILL RULE YOUR LIFE.
<3<3<3<3<3 love!!! That was fantastic, thank you Rachel!!
ps have you been able to find any of season three? youtube has been cracking down a ton, and tv-links is dead...
I think as long as there's no Kevin Costner anywhere in sight, any Robin Hood show/movie is pretty awesome.
Disney, Men in Tights, and BBC versions included.
WOW. that sounds like me in middle school too
well it still sounds like me.
except now I like other, even cooler stuff as well. Well, sort of. Maybe. Hopefully.
and the rest too, about randomly sitting with people at lunch... yeah. rings a bell. We had assigned seating during lunch for the first term of sixth grade, and then when they let us choose our own seats I couldn't find my old friends, so I sat with a couple of girls I barely knew, and yeah.
Except that when we went to the library, basically every day, we didn't even have movies to amuse ourselves, we just acted hyper and annoyed the librarians and skated around the rug floor with glossy bookmarks taped to our feet. haha that was actually pretty fun.
It's always good to hear that other people had similarly bad/awkward experiences during middle school. Makes you feel better.
(Plus my middle school smells funny, and you never notice it until you go back during high school, and ugh.... I don't know how I stood it for those four years. It's like, chalk and antiseptic over mold. Weird.)

You sound like you were an awesome middle schooler!
I've come to realize that the most interesting people now tend to be the people who were awkward in middle school. It was so difficult at the time, but we made our way through it and are better and freer people because of it.
You and me, kid.

aww, thanks.
and yeah, I totally agree.
what makes me happy is
Neil Gaiman

and Neil Gaiman
oh, and writing a short story about toast for my Tufts application. I love the Tufts application. It's so cool.
-Rewarding myself by coming on here
not yet middle school, but well on my way:
i'm the one in the hat with no neck
ps have you been able to find any of season three? youtube has been cracking down a ton, and tv-links is dead...
Actually, I found that video (and more Season 3) completely thanks to you! You sending me that icon community set me off on a LJ quest to find more Buzzcocks/Mighty Boosh fans! I found the Noel Fielding YSDH vid on _booshmedia, and there are several links on the Buzzzcocks community.
It shall be done
What ages are you at middle school? Because in England, we only have two schools, but I was the weird awkward one towards the end of my first school and the beginning of my high school... that's in the middle, right?
Also - I just had my LAST interview!! And it went really well, I think.
