A Sharp Intake of Breathe...

[gattoparde59]

I think the problem lies within getting to say something that goes beyond "Hello and goodbye". As long as the person in question is not accompanied by rabid gorillas: Impudence wins.

Impudence? Taptrve? I just can't picture it.

I live only 6 miles away from Falun, so I've visited the city quite a few times, but I have not yet seen Lina.
However, if I did meet her, I would probably say hello, praise her to the sky and if time was sufficient, ask her to join me for a cup of coffee.

But don't show her your ink. As excellent as it is, I can see no way that it wouldn't creep her out.

The thought have crossed my mind several times.

Actually meeting her and talking to her (Lina) might be somewhat disappointing. She is not Eli, you know. From the few interviews that I was able to see on YouTube, she seems like a well adjusted, happy, regular young girl. And my guess is she knows a lot less about Eli than most of us do.

I used to work in motion picture special effects. Actors and actresses are totally different from the roles they play, and most of the times, not nearly as interesting or insightful. Anyway, she is certainly adorable and I'm sure most of our young male members will find her quite charming in her own way.

Who said anything about expecting to meet Eli?
I’m sure most people are able to distinguish life from fantasy. But, yes - for those who can’t, disappointment is inevitable.
My personal reasons for wanting to meet Lina is not to discuss matters relative to the fictional character of Eli. I want to meet her simply because she is Lina Leandersson, and I am interested in her thoughts and opinions about certain things.

Heh. I'd just want to take her out for movie, pizza and a few good laughs, if we're talking about Leandersson and not Eli. But yes, one of the things I'd like to talk with her about (if she'd permit) is how she managed to pull off impersonating Eli so well.

In fact, Lina herself said as much - that despite having great fun playing Eli, and actually "becoming" Eli for a role, and wanting to have someone like Eli as a friend, she is nothing like Eli. This was why it was so fun for her, because she played someone totally different from herself. You can get a glimpse of what Lina is like from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKWspizcCnc . As you can see, not moody or melancholic AT ALL Still must be great fun to be around as herself though

I had the same experience the other day, after seeing LTROI yet again. I'd dropped something and a tomboy child with dark hair and no parents to be seen picked it up for me. She smiled as she gave me back my hair ribbon, I smiled, then I walked away VERY fast. I realized, at least in that moment, I was just a little afraid of children!! This is odd, as I usually LOVE kids.

That film gets to me in the weirdest ways...

You know what... correct... and does my name mean anything to you?

[ykeleven]

Eli4ever... Hmmm..

Well, I'll bet good money that you are on Team Eli. I will go as far as to say, you "wuv" Eli. Yes.

Aside from that, I can't tell...

[TΛPETRVE]

I think we all wub Eli. And Oskar, too. They're pretty much the epitome of woobies .
