Goonies Never Say Die

Claire · 03-28-2005, 05:33 PM

Okay, so I went to high school right outside of Astoria and lived in the area for five years...and my mom still lives there, so I visit often. I was on the cusp of teen-hood when The Goonies was released and all the girls I knew were hot for Corey Feldman (um, I'm SO over him, after meeting him and underwhelming him with my geekiness) and Sean Astin (nooooot quite over him, esp. after going to his reading a few months back) and a few chicks who liked the older men were into Josh Brolin (okay, fine, ME, I liked older boys dammit).

I'm feeling more and more geeky about this.....but I have to let you all know, that not only am I coming down to Anaheim for Disneyland's 50th birthday (which, let's face it, is kinda dorky), I'm for sure going to The Goonie's 20th Anniversary weekend in June.....I've even been on the Goonies chat boards.

Read more about it here:

I feel my cool quotient is dropping exponentially, yet I don't care. I'm not quite up to doing the Truffle Shuffle for Chunk, but I'd like to meet Jeff Cohen, so I'll probably try to meet him at some point, and I plan to get tickets to Growing up Goonie for Courtney and me as soon as they're released. I can hide behind my daughter and pretend it's all about her, but let's face it, it's all about me.

The closer it gets, the more excited I am!!! My mom thinks it's craziness!!!

Courtney and I have been plotting and planning. We're not doing the bus tour, because I know the area like the back of my hand and I have been inside every single location with the exception of Mouth's house and Data's house. We've been watching the movie here and there and Courtney's made a list of places to visit.

So that's it. One more confession of dorkiness from me.

Very cool! What kid growing up in '80s didn't dream about treasure, pirates and adventure after watching "The Goonies"!

Here is a LINK to a song especially for you!

Pfft Cool IS doing your own thing and not being dragged down by peeps that don't get it.

Or it could be that I'm so uncool as to not know what I'm talking about.

I have a feeling that in this case.....it's the latter.

I AM gonna let my freak flag fly, dammit!!!

I'm a Disney dorkish comic book reading, 80's obsessed, Sedarisized, developmentally arrested Goonie by golly!!! But in better clothing. Bwahahaha!!!

Now they probably didn't de-stem, hoping for some semblance of concentration, crushed it up with leaves and mice, and then wound up with this rancid tar and turpentine bull**. Fin' Raid. Jack: Tastes pretty good to me.
