Saw your avatar of Roy and Pris in Blade Runner, my favourite sci-fi movie, when I was looking in the Horror Movie group. After reading your profile, we have so much in common; for instance, the Plantagenets - one of my favourite movies is The Lion in Winter also. The Secret Garden, yes; Howard's End, yes. I've actually never seen anyone I had this much in common with. Music and books also! Hope we can be friends!, (I also share your love of white flowers)

Only from you my dear!!! hehehe
Actually, you and I were talking about "Cult" a couple weeks ago. I was all set to watch it on Tuesday night, and the CW decided not to show it!!! Then they showed it last night, but I was already committed to watching "Touch".(which I find interesting too)..
If you are not plain ole psychic, maybe you are a wee bit "psychedelic"!! hehehe ;o)
