Day 9 - Random Love Post - Dinosaurs

[alexcat]

I love dinosaurs! I have loved them since I knew what they were. I drew pictures of them all the time when I was a little girl. I had some little plastic ones, too, you know, the kind that come in a bag or tub! I checked all the dino books out of the library at school and I read and read about them and then I grew up, like you do, and kinda forgot about them.

This guy named Michael Crichton wrote a book called Jurassic Park and I was thrilled. The whole idea was wonderful! I remember telling hubby that the book would make a great movie... boy, did it! We went to a crowded theater with Sara when she 5 and sat in the back - the only seats available. When Alan Grant saw the dinosaurs, I felt chills. It was so wonderful! I enjoyed every single second of that one and all the sequels... because DINOSAURS!!!

I remember when Sue was found and it made the news - I was in the hospital. Then nothing about her for years and then the actual-sized replica toured different nature centers and such... and I saw her. Wow!!! If you get a chance, see her or go to the Field Museum in Chicago and see the real fossil one! She is a 90%+ complete fossilized t-rex. She was found by a woman named Sue Hendrickson in South Dakota in 1990.

I LOVE DINOSAURS!!!

I love dinosaurs, too! I still have a lot of my plastic dinosaurs from when I was little, and while I didn't own a lot of dinosaur books, I think I read all the ones I could get from the library. After the first Jurassic Park movie, I said I'd go on watching sequels even until it all deteriorated into nothing but two hours of rampaging dinosaurs, and guess what? Here I am, watching Jurassic Park movies now that they've deteriorated into two hours of rampaging dinosaurs!

I love dinosaurs, too! Jurassic Park is probably my favourite movie - I've seen it hundreds of times. (I always watch it when I'm sick, too, so it's like a comfort movie for me.)

I wish i could see Sue in real life. I bet it's an amazing sight.
