Two Women.
… that are my all-time favourite and in which I admire or aspire to become.
They may be fictional, but perhaps, I can make them non-fiction.
Abigail Chase – National Treasure
God knows how much I love decoding and cryptography.
For instance, there was one summer where I tried to learn the first generation of hieroglyphics and Morse code… and Korean. Results: I can now understand why hieroglyphics is a lost language. Very difficult to learn! Got the hang of Morse code, started to communicate by tapping. I even thought of a system to cheat in class with Morse code, alas, my personal morale and ethics held me back. And yeah, I learned the Korean alphabet in 45 minutes. To this day, I still know how to read Korean, but don’t know what the hell I’m reading.
Virginia “Pepper” Potts – Iron Man
That’s me in my little black dress that never goes out of style, and my future husband that will save the world.
My favourite line from the movie:
Pepper: Good morning, here are your clothes. The car is outside to escort you where ever you need to go.
Unimportant-hoe-bag-that-Mr.Stark-just-slept-with: Oh hi! Good morning. So do you do everything around here?
Pepper: Yes. I clean and cook and occasionally take out the trash.*
* meaning the Unimportant-hoe-bag-that-Mr.Stark-just-slept-with.
I sort of just approximated what the script is, I can’t find the full script online. But you get the idea!! Classy lady, Pepper is!!

Bottom line: They’re both smart as hell and yes, I realize that they stand by and may at times play a foil to a strong male figure. But behind every great man, stands a great woman. No?

your post and this photo is what i thought of while i was meditating
say what?!
you learned all the Hanguls in 45 MINUTES?!
dang…I can only read my Korean name (that my friend translated from my Chinese name)
but that’s about it. That’s like what…prolly 9 characters in total? lol
and yea…I like my women to be intellectual, too. There’s nothing sexier than an intelligent woman———-unless she’s fugly. ahahaha~
abigail chase was so damn annoying in the movie though…
and that was pepper’s best line… i remember a collected ‘OOOOOOoooH!’ from the audience (opening night)
@phakerz - Fugly? It’s the inside that counts, phakerz, inside.
i still haven’t seen ironman yet!! boooo
@Meunonomo - Viv. omg. I’m gonna make you an offer of a lifetime: I will pay for your ticket to go see Iron Man. It’s a movie you DON’T want to miss!!
I loved the movie Iron Man and I LOVE Pepper. I told my best friend later that night “I could so see myself becoming someones Pepper Potts” hahaha
I like at the end when he tries to bring up something romantic and she reminds him that he left her there shortly afterward – she’s quick! haha definitely someone I wouldn’t mind being!
I do admire Pepper.
But the thing is, why does it always have to be “Behind a Great man is a Great Woman.”?
Why can’t it be the other way around?
Or better yet, why does the great woman have to be BEHIND?
Oh enough with this feminist bullshit.
@missmeemz - Because if the woman was in the forefront, she wouldn’t need anybody to back her up. Especially a man. But a man, needs a woman. (Hehehehhe) And yes, I am semi-feminist. Semi, because, as you can see, I’m not a psychotic-feminist…afterall.
Except Pepper doesn’t marry Tony :/
If only!
Every great man has a woman that keeps pace with him and inspires him to be greater…
Apparently through booty or constant nagging…
