When we watched a clip from The Princess Diaries 2 the other day, everybody was like, "where is that little girl from?"
I said it's the same little girl from Little Miss Sunshine and they all looked at me like I was crazy.
WELL, I WAS RIGHT.
I asked IMDb and it told me so.
I don't think people would have recognised her from anything else. She's also the little girl from The Ultimate Gift - that movie made me want to cry (and also made me think a lot of the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants) but I don't know if it was ever released in Australia.

I meant to write this earlier.
There was a drama on the weekend.
I wanted to cry at the time but I was the comforter. Maybe because I don't like crying in public. Maybe because I could see that nobody else was going to step up to the role, no matter how much it was needed.
I was forced to suppress my feelings and go do something else.
It boiled down to nothingness eventually and everything was ok.
Later I wanted to tell Harlequin something I learnt from it. I wasn't upset, I felt somewhat enlightened. I had come to an understanding I didn't have before and I didn't want to lose that. So I told him what I'd learnt. Then to put it into context I started to explain what had happened. Soon I was bawling my eyes out and not forming complete words. (Yet he knew what I was saying.) "And-she-was-" something along those lines. He listened for a while so long as I kept trying to explain it then pulled over the car and hugged me and started praying.
I don't think anybody in the past has responded so wisely. I think people have told me what I should do instead of giving me a chance to vent. I think a lot of people haven't given me that chance at all. Whenever I've said to people, "how about we pray?" it always seems to be met with not the most positive reaction, (mostly with Christians this happens - non Christians seem to relish in the comfort) and people make me feel like I'm ramming prayer and God down their throats when that's not what they want to think about.
How wise Harlequin is to know that God is what we need - what I needed - especially when things are so desperate.
I think I was a bit misleading. When I said "drama" at the start I did not mean a fight or argument between people, I mean a short performance. It was... it was very real. And I applaud the people who were in it. And even though it made me bawl my eyes out and I can't really think of the song or of the drama without my eyes glazing over I wish I could show the world. Cause the world needs to know that God is there through all the crap. And the world needs to know that believing in God will not be a quick fix to the problems we have in this life. But the world also needs to know that Jesus broke the power that all that crap ever had over us. And I wish that I had understood the extent of that. And I wish that I hadn't only known that but that I had believed it and understood it and been able to tell people so with conviction. And now I can.
And that drama made me bawl my eyes out and it was a little scary but I am glad I saw it.
And I am glad that Harlequin thought to pray about the issues it raised.
