Day 15

"I get worried for young girls sometimes; I want them to feel that they can be sassy and full and weird and geeky and smart and independent, and not so withered and shriveled."

-Amy Poehler

#np - 5000 Candles in the Wind by Mouse Rat

Today is dedicated to the amazing TV show, Parks and Recreation.  If you haven't watched it, what the hell are you waiting for?  Get to it.  Netflix, Hulu, whatever.  And because it's so amazing, you get two songs from the on-screen band, Mouse Rat (formerly Teddy Bear Suicide, God Hates Figs, Department of Homeland Obscurity, Flames for Flames, Muscle Confusion, Nothing Rhymes With Orange, Everything Rhymes With Orange, Punch Face Champions, Rad Wagon, Puppy Pendulum, Possum Pendulum, Penis Pendulum, Handrail Suicide, Angel Snack, Just the Tip, Threeskin, Jet Black Pope and Scarecrow Boat).

And just for fun - Ron dancing.

Aside:

Amy Poehler is a fabulous and if I can be a mix of her and her character, Leslie Knope, when I grow up (with my own little flair), I'll be happy.  The quote above is something I think on a daily basis.  I know some amazing women in my life.  These women are sassy and full of life and completely weird but I love them.  What more could you ask for than strong, smart women in your life who constantly build you up?

Well, the only other thing I could ask for would be to meet Amy Poehler in real life (as opposed to in my dreams where we sit and talk about a wide variety of issues and then pig out on ice cream and pizza watching her "Best of" DVDs from SNL and never gain weight).
