I recommend this to a friend and then realized I should recommend it to all of you, because it's currently free on YouTube (though I don't know about regionality). It's one of my favorite movies of all time.

Cathy's diatribe is relevant to ALL crafters, and I'm right in that group. I knit and crochet, and I tell people that I'm a yarnbender for several reasons:
-it's been proven to reduce stress and lower blood pressure.
-It's a post-revolution/apocalyptic lifeskill.
-There's nothing quite like the joy of giving someone a gift you made with your own hands and seeing their delight at receiving such.
-I work retail, so a craft that involves string and pointy things takes the edge off and keeps me from actually strangling or stabbing people.

When ALL THE BARDS you befriended on your quest show up for the final boss battle.
