    what exactly is a flibbertigibbet, you ask?

    Hey, there. My name is Bored. And, I'm a flibbertigibbet. No, seriously, someone just asked me what a flibbertigibbet is. Well, I'll tell you. It's a silly, scatterbrained person. In my signature, it's actually a quote from one of my very favorite movies. And, that movie, if you wanna know...is Joe Vs the Volcano. I watched it years ago, and, thought it was the stupidest thing I'd ever seen. Then, about four years ago, I watched it with someone I loved, and, he helped me see the movie for what I think it really is. It's a fable, so, it's not based in reality at all. The first 3/4ths of the movie are incredible, and, the ending is great. The time spent on the actual island is kinda bad, but, the rest of the movie makes up for it. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan star in it, and, it's the first film they did together. They are pure magic together. She plays three different roles that Tom Hanks' character encounters throughout the film. One of the characters is Angelica, a flibbertigibbet. Angelica is an LA girl, superfulous and lost, and, she first meets Joe (Hanks) at the airport. She says something about her father telling her to tell Joe not to tell her anything about why she's picking him up or why he's in LA, because she's completely untrustworthy. "I'm a flibbertigibbet", is what she says to him. It's funny. Later, she and Joe share a deeper, harder moment, and, she's crying and says "I TOLD you I'm a flibbertigibbet." So, there you have it. The much aniticpated, far too long, explanation of that part of my signature. Sorry guys, I told you I was a flibbertigibbet.
