10:37 pm - Cuz it was fun
|
I enjoyed playing this game on ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) goldsidereal's journal, so I thought I'd throw one of my own up here. Have fun!
1. Pick 15 (however many you feel like) of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. NO Googling / using IMDb search functions / looking it up on MySpace. Totally cheating.
1.) Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it because you're not really looking. (The Prestige)
2.) I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. (The Shawshank Redemption)
3.) ...allow me to explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.
4.) Quite so, sir. And you can borrow the Rolls if you like. Just bring it back with a full tank.
5.) Back when I was picking beans in Guatemala, we used to make fresh coffee, right off the trees I mean. That was good. This is shit but, hey, I'm in a police station. (The Usual Suspects)
6.) Hello, David. I mean "sir". Shit, I can't believe I've just said that. And now I've gone and said "shit" - twice. I'm so sorry, sir. (Love Actually)
7.) I wish you wouldn't bring tradespeople into the house. They carry dust.
8.) Unfortunately, THIS guitar said, 'When I get back to Georgia, that woman gonna feel my pain.' THIS one said something along the lines of, 'Why yes, these pants ARE lycra.' THESE said, 'I'm very sensitive, very caring, and I have absolutely no idea how to play the guitar.' (Stranger Than Fiction)
9.) Before I came down from the room, I took about half a pound of Vicodin, so I'm going to be pretty comfortable until about late March.
10.) Someday you'll find a man, a good man, and you'll love him, and marry him, and live and die for him. And I'll be hanged if I stand by and watch.
11.) A real loser is someone who's so afraid of not winning he doesn't even try.
12.) Perhaps I didn't always love him as well as I do now, but in such cases as these a good memory is unpardonable.
13.) America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You gotta want it bad, 'cause it's gonna put up a fight.
14.) I think... we've got to measure goodness by what we embrace, what we create... and who we include.
15.) Sand is overrated. It's just tiny, little rocks.

4:26 pm - Tag
|
I got tagged for this, and I figure since there's really nothing interesting to say about sorting and packing up my life, I'll do it.
FIRSTS
First Best Friend: Uhh... Freya I guess... but mostly group stuff as a little kid
First Boyfriend: Will Overeem... as much as you can have one at 12 First Piercing: Ears... does it still count if they didn't last? First High School Crush: That guy who looked like Jim Morrison. Never knew his name... First Car: '91 Nissan, still goin'! First Love: Depends on the perspective. I'll go with Nathan First Time Drunk: Will let you know LASTS
Last Beverage: Iced Coffee Last Car Ride: Moving my car this afternoon to avoid a parking ticket Last CD Played: Capital Steps - Four More Years in the Bush Leagues Last Time You Cried: Technically this morning, yay allergies! Last Kiss: Nathan about 2 1/2 hrs ago EVEREver Dated Your Best Friend? Came close once and do currently Ever Dated Your Brother's Friend? No, that would probably be creepy with the decade age gap Ever Been Arrested? Nope Ever Skinny Dipped? Yes, but not in public Ever Been on TV? Probably in the background, but nothing I've seen later ETC
Favorite Thing To Do: If I have to chose just one... Direct I suppose People You Can Tell Anything To: Nathan, Kristin O. Two Things You Want To Do Before You Die: Tour the British Iles, Work a Shakespeare Festival (Oh, wait...!) One Thing You Regret: Speaking too soon about 18 months ago. One of the world's best people got hurt. In other news, we did get to see goldsidereal's show at Knox this weekend, which was excellent. Good work all around! Oh, and there was a 2-alarm fire down the street yesterday. So our place smelled very smoky, and it was quite loud with the sirens and news choppers. That's really it.
current mood:  contemplative

Ok everyone who's got commencement tickets coming to them - I will absolutely beg for an extra ticket that you won't use. Just a heads up, the bothering starts now. Jess, Brian, and Evan, I'm looking at you! ;)

6:33 pm - Until something more exciting happens...
|
Comment and I'll give you a letter. Then you have to list 10 things you love that begin with that letter. After, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.
I was given "F" so I give you...
Friends & Family: Cheap but true, so I'll use them as one.
Fireplaces
Frost patterns on windows
Fireflies: Especially the first ones
Finsterkocher: It's a type of Christmas cookie, just trust me.
Forests
Fleece: In any clothing or blanket form.
Frogs
"Four Seasons" by Vivaldi
Frangos: Assuming they still exist with Macy's and all
A strangely hard and easy letter all at once, I find.
More solid update to come shortly.

1:39 pm - Imitating friends cuz my life is unexciting
|
We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.
~Albert Einstein
One of the things about being a grown-up is learning how to act right even when you feel wrong.
~Sean Stewart
In real life, I assure you, there is no such thing as algebra.
~Fran Lebowitz
America's one of the finest countries anyone ever stole.
~Bobcat Goldthwaite
There will be a time when loud-mouthed, incompetent people seem to be getting the best of you. When that happens, you only have to be patient and wait for them to self destruct. It never fails.
~Richard Rybolt
Life rattles on as usual. Lots of rehearsals, just finished a big set build, and still unemployed. I'm going to PA for the wedding of a childhood friend over the holiday weekend. It's been a long time since I was back there and seen these folks, so we'll see how this goes. I'm a little nervous about filling the time, but with luck I'll catch up with all the friends I want to. Assuming I can find everyone's phone #s. That is about all.
current mood:  sore

I saw this on a friend's LJ and thought it looked like a good idea. Plus now I have a list whenever I'm out of new releases to rent. I've seen the ones in bold. I gotta admit I find it entertaining how many of those I saw in Rob Smith film classes at Knox, so those are in bold and italics. I should remember to ask my friend where he got this list.

3:08 pm - My First Tag
|
This is slightly weighted toward wintry things, but I guess you can blame that on the fact that it's snowing.
10 things that make me happy (in no particular order):
1) Christmas music
2) Movie theaters with the tall comfy seats
3) Hot Drinks
4) Standing ovations
5) Driving latenight when there's no one else on the roads
6) Richard Greenberg plays
7) Baking smells
8) Making a snowman with my siblings
9) Comic strips
10) Hugs
Note: I am especially happy when # 1, 3 and 7 or #4 and 6 are combined. :)
I'm gunna tag Krista Larson, cuz I haven't heard from her in a while. And Jess Drew, just because.
current mood:  cold
