I still call my bff from high school just to say "TS Eliot" and hang up the phone.

Jeez, my heart. Also: this is hands-down my favorite fairy tale, I eat up just about every version of it I can find. In addition to Deerskin, I'd like to do the obligatory "Jim Henson's Storyteller" plug for their episode 'Sapsorrow' that does another version of this story (with mice, actual mice, in her hair. and a mega-poncy 80s prince). It was my introduction to this story and so, so weird. Apparently it's on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSA6Fro7MSE

I was Patrick and very proud of it - it's a family name and being the only daughter, I was the only person who didn't have it in their name. (Mother's maiden name) It also suited me well in my teenage glare-phase anytime anyone (except, I was pleased, the bishop) said "Shouldn't you be Patricia?"

did we grow up in the same house somehow? Grew up with all the same above plus a healthy dose of Catholic superstition & ritual (cure in the water on the Feast of the Assumption, bury St Joseph to sell a house...) and I still find myself mumbling the St Anthony prayer when I lose something.

I know the play pretty well, but I still felt compelled to wait through the credits and make sure there was no stinger or any very Joss invention to rip out my heart a la Illyria. (I was pleased.)

"Full disclosure: I love Kenneth Branagh. I love his version of Much Ado. I love his Hamlet. I love his Thor. I love that he so loved the world, he gave it Tom Hiddleston when he had the chance to trap that rainbow-made-flesh in a crystal and keep it in the chamber of secrets beneath his house."

This is why I joined the cult of Vider. OK, now I'll finish reading.
