*laughs* One of my two new e-mail and it begins
Dear Doo, *laughs* OKay, that's what I called my name when I signed up on this thing. Muahaha. Oh dear.
Guess what, darlings? I go back tommorow. Ames is non-existent, I think she's trying to forget about it as much as she can while Em, Mariah and I are moping.
AHHHH!!!! Here is what shocks me about the Oscars. For best male lead, they have Sir Ben Kingsley for House of Sand and Fog (Loved him in Triumph of Love, which btw, has this really cute guy...but without the long hair, puhlease!), Sean Penn for Mystic River (well deserved!), Jude Law for Cold Mountain (well that got all that stupid hype, what did one suspect?), Bill Murray for Lost in Translation (arty film, they need an arty film!) and ...and...and...and...NOT Russel Crowe but...but...the for the other seafaring adventure, PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN, Johnny Depp...*SCREAMS*
*calms* Okay, okay. I know Johnny Depp is a great actor. Examples: Edward Scissorhands (which he did when he was very young), Donnie Brasco (is not totally overplayed by the great Al Pacino) and lots of other things, which would be mostly gothic horror Tim Burton stuff. (Btw, Tim Burton is like Einstein and Quentin Tarantino, but mixed. Hee.) BUT...its just the movie. Pirates, look I LOVE Pirates, I love it because it starrs my beloved, I love it because Anna and I have been waiting for the pirates to return with their maties to the sea, and its got the swashbuckers swash--buckling. But, story-wise, movie-wise...it is not oscar potential. LOTR is. POTC is not. Just hope I get that clear across. And although JD was wonderful in it, really saved its ass during some bits especially where the amateur acting of the younger two (see! I play my opinions platonic...most of the time!) really bit you on the ass but still...OMG. My eyes nearly popped out of my head when Sue told me. It was like...WHAT? What happened to dear Russ?
Ahhh well, JD hasn't won it yet...I hope he does win it. Maybe just to inspire Daniel Radcliffe, that if the acting is good...it don't matter how shite the movie was.
~ M.M.W who is ducking from flames from the POTC ass-munching fans (Jen, Ames, Mary...hell, everybody!) ~
PS: ROTK got nominated 11 times. As long as it wins best movie and best director, I'm happy. Although since JD got up there, it would have been nice to see Elijah Wood up there. I mean...he did a great portrayal of Frodo baggins. His inane froggy style really got-
*THWAP*
Em: You shut it about froggie!darling!
Mel: *cradles throbbing forehead* Yes, ma'm.

Current Mood:

Feel so disgusted...feel so angry...feel so irrate...feel so...sick, with worry with sadness with desperation. I really don't know what to do.
And its all over my Year 12 timetable. This year is going to be hell with bells. (Oh btw, some next door neighbor just had a heart attack and died. Feh. I didn't know them. *laughs* I just pissed off my mum about that.)
I have six official spares. I may have one for CAS but I doubt it. I all ready miss my hols. Btw, I have four fifth periods so I really have only two spares. And since my friends (VCE) have all done one or two 3/4's, they will have more than 10 spares in two weeks, and sometimes only one subject a day while I am guarenteed more than three each day. Sucks, huh? I feel ravaged, violent and sick...and don't I deserve it?
So I'm asking whoever, when do I get a break? I'm not particularly as smart as them or as good-lookin *laughs* so why do I have to suffer? Where's their sufferage? God, I'm being absolutely self-centric. Its horrible. No ones online so I have no one to bitch too unless its Jen, but she's got enough problems on her head. I am going to work my ass off this year. Oh god, I hate it all ready. So what's the good news?
Good News: I have three classes with Sarah. I know there are at least 39 other students screaming about their timetables too. I know that I'm going to have to work around this schedule now that my friends won't be at school so often. So this is it, this is where the distance starts. I predict with absolute certainity and fortitude that I will not be so good a friend with my VCE friends from now on...wait...I should put this under the BIG BAD news, the distance will start and I cannot deny that it hasn't all ready. I guess in a way, this is good for me. It will make me work, but it will make me hate them because they won't be worked dry, they will sleep in and laugh and have fun while I drudge through this year with overwhelming dread that I might fail, that I will not get into Med, that none of my dreams will come true...
So in this over-thorough, fascist, capitalist, pig-style society I feel utterly devalued, I feel utterly alone and depressed and thorougly sick. Its a wonder why people spend so much time analysing depressants and suicides, its so easy. Trying living one day of our lives, with all our wonders and dreams and hopes so utterly repressed under the hands of those goverment hedonistic dictators. Fie! Fie!
~ M.M.W ~
PS: Reminder, print out timetable. Write extended essay and don't eat dinner. Oh wonderful. I'm going to be anorexic and dead by the end of this year. But at least I'll have lost 21 grams. - _- Yeah, I know. God, I'm going to hate my friends and its going to eat at my soul until there'll be nothing left. I need something. Just something to make me happy for once in my entire, fucking, life.

Movies that are coming out in 2004....
~ Movies I want to see ~
The Incredibles - Another Pixar classic. Revolves around a family of superheroes...who aren't so superheroish anymore. Go see the trailer and you'll understand. Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Holly Hunter etc, Jason Lee...
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - Well its HP, need I say more? But I want to see how the new director handles it. You know the cast. Some kids, and a lot of great English actors. But may I say, it will be cool to see Gary Oldman and Alan Rickman, two of England's best villians face each other. Big whoop!ass.
Shrek 2 - Mmmmm...Shrek! Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers etc.
The Village - Shymalan's new one. Looks creepy and has Joquin Phoenix in it, along with Sig. Weaver (Aliens) and Adrien Brody.
Van Helsing - Look below, dears.
Hellboy - All I can say is at least its not Marvel!
Kill Bill Vol. 2 - Hey, the first one was awesome and I can't even wait for the second. Yay, teaser is up! Woo! And you see Bill. Cannot wait. Starring: Uma Thurman, David Carridine...etc.
Chronicles of Riddick - I despise Vin Diesel but I loved Pitch Black. So blah.
Blade:Trinity - Yeah, yeah. I know. But hey, eveyrone is into trilogys these days. Starring: Wesley Snipes, Parker Posy (???)
Anchorman - WHo doesn't love Will Ferell? Also Starring: Christina Applegate
Troy - Oh c'mon you know why! But I loved the Troy tale anyway, that and its sequel. So hmm. Also starring: Brad Pitt, Eric Bana (yay! Australians rock!) Interesting Fact: Bloom kills Pitt who killed his brother. Nice little cycle, no?
Around the World in 80 days - I hate to say this, but yes, its a Jackie Chan film. But I'm not seeing it for him, I'm seeing it for all the international cameos. Who doesn't want to see Owen and Luke together again? (Or not want to see Owen and Jackie?) Or maybe its my desperation to see Arnold Schwarznagger one last time as a TURKISH PRINCE...lmao!!!
Starsky and Hutch - Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell team up again in this detective movie. I love those three. A must see!
King Arthur - Mmm...just to tease ALice about Horatio. But still, want to see epic. Lots of epics. LOTR started it all. NO fantasy movies tho? *sighs*
~ Movies I Don't want to see: ~
Spider Man 2 - Hmm...I wonder why. Although teaser interested me. Starring: Toby Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, Alfred Molina (as Dr. Oc)
Sky Captain and the World of Tommorow - Totally cheesy look, despite Jude Law. When did Jude Law get hot and popular? Also starring: Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie.
Passion of Christ - Err...right. Well, no. yeah. Too controversial. And in Hebrew.
I, Robot - Only one of very little sci-fi movies this year. Will Smith? Oh yeah right.
The Life Aquatic - Great cast, but who wants to see teh adventure of a dive person? Blah. Blah. Blah.
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events - Just like the guy on the site says 'Poor-man's Harry Potter', although the books are almost as expensive so not really. More like second rate. And they're not that good. I want ARTEMIS FOWL! Starring: Jim Carrey, Meryl Streep...etc
Garfield - Starring: Billy Murray. Oh please don't ruin it for me! Garfield looks stupid CGed anyway. Also Starring: Jen. Love Hewitt and Debra Messing.
Collateral - Tom Cruise and Jaime Foxx. Something about a cab driver and murderer, Tom Cruise beign the murderer. *laughs* Right, good job from last Samurai. *laughs*
Catwoman - Hmm...right. Right. Next there will be a batman. *Screams* Omg, there is? Starring: Halle berry, Sharon Stone.
Man-thing AND The PUnisher - Third rate Marvel Comics. need I say more?
SharkTale - *cough* Its Dreamwork's CGed response to Finding Nemo. Huge cast but mmm...look at Bugs Life and Antz, Bugs Life shot them out of the water without having two or more famous people in it. *sigh* when will dreamworks learn, you can't beat them when it comes to Pixar?
Day After Tommorow - Story and plot won't matter when you find out its being made by the same people who did Independce Day. *cries* OH dear.
~ M.M.W ~
Mmm...*Is munching still* Yum! Some sort of cake. Yum. V. yummy. Think is date pudding or something. Got up early today. Weally early and plonked myself in front of the telly and zoned out for an hour or two until I finally woke up and realised both parents had left the house. Was panicky for a second.
Saw trailer for Van Helsing. Mmmpfh...is v good and of course I want to see it. Here's a quick synopsis I got off coming soon (via Ali Wildgoose's lj...but that's a different matter):
Deep in the mountains of Carpathia lies the mysterious and mythic land of Transylvania--a world where evil is ever-present, where danger rises as the sun sets, and where the monsters that inhabit man's deepest nightmares take form. Innovative filmmaker Stephen Sommers--who so imaginatively re-envisioned Universal's classic Mummy character in the worldwide blockbusters "The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns"--now widens his cinematic scope and multiplies his creative inspiration by breathing new life into the most time-honored pantheon of classic Universal monsters and setting them in a stunning new world of fantastical reality. Sommer's all-encompassing vision for a world as tangible, real and visceral as any caught in the stranglehold of inescapable evil blends the recognizable and the unimaginable into a vivid, epic backdrop for his tale of ultimate evil against a lone force of good: Van Helsing...
(Note: There's more at the '...' and also the trailer.) Looks to be good...well look at the cast, Hugh Jackman who plays Van Helsing, no duh. Kate Beckinsale, reverting back to vampire!badassery. Must be so normal for her now. Richard Roxburugh. Yay. He's awesome at playing bad guys. V. him. Australia. Oh la! Daisy Wenham (David Wenham, for those stupid enough not to see TTT extend...sorry em! I told her frodo sounds like a goose!). What is he doing in this movie? He's so non-commercialism. Oh la, maybe its his way into Hollywood, no? But that's pretty good, seeing as the entire main (known) cast is Australian with only one exception, Kate. But you can't see the other Cate or Miranda or Toni or Naomi or Nic doing this role, can you? Well actually, maybe Naomi but she's busy at the moment. And I know, *nods* have read interview in trash mag. She's busy!!
Enough celeb!bashing, tho I love it. Back to work. *Snaps around* hopefully underworld tommorow!!

Want DV 14. But apparently...
Post: Anonymous
Hi Ms. Claire!
I know you get these annoying posts all the time, and believe me, I have been trying to refrain myself from writing one myself, but oh well.. First off all, you are a brilliant writer, and I love your work, but I would really appreciate if you could possibly tell me when we can expect to see the first part of Draco Veritas 14?
Thank you so much!!
Post:Epicyclical (Cassie Claire)
I can't really give an exact ETA because it depends how much work I have to do, but hopefully in the next 2 weeks.
Two weeks. Two fricking weeks. Go on, complaint about it there...
Tonight is mum's chinese new year party thing and I really just can't be f*cked. URGH! I don't want to go. *whines* better stop whining before ames spots me...oh shit. SHe's tagged me. Gahagahah. I want to see underworld tommorow, sigh. Its a tough choice. At least I cleaned and organised my room. That's good, right? (just productive-procrastination...wait, isn't that an oxymoron?)
~ M.M.W ~
Oops. Almost forgot to mention that I saw 'Rules of Attraction' starring James Van Der Beek, this other girl, and this really, really, really hot gay guy who has eyes, that would rival Elijah Wood's (on Em's standards, I still think Orlando's got pretty good ones.).
Its a good movie. A bit weird at bits. Dark and satirical and v.v.v. raunchy. And the girl from Seventh Heaven is in it, I just hate her. She reminds me of Molly Shannon or whateva, that girl from American Pie. The exchange student! Its pretty short and kinda weird and I don't think I can fully explain it without reading the book. I was trying to decide what it reminded me of, the darkness and disgustingness is reminiscent of Requiem of a Dream (and some of the cinematography like the rewinding and split shots). But then again, its dreamy and fantasy like which is much like the Virgin Suicides and the satirical, crazy bits are just so Van Wilder (college-scene type stuff). So I guess its a mix of those three.
It was strange seeing James (lets call him Dawson, shall we?) playing a role like this since all I've ever seen him in is Dawson's Creek (I skipped Varsity Blues...). So hm...him kissing another guy, which was the hot gay guy's fantasy but still. Well now I've seen both Dawson and Pacey be gay in another movie (Cruel Intentions, ppl).
But the most disgusting thing was that although promising that I would never see a film with Kate Bosworth in it...well she was in it. Only for a few minutes though and it was so totally degrading for her except she was kinda pretty...which I hate. But I know I shall never see Blue Crush or that Win a date with Tad Hamilton, although I must say that the main guy in it looks like Chris Kattan. Eww...she has sex with Dawson in it. Ew...ew...ew...and she don't look so pretty there! heheheh.
Oh yes, another Virgin Suicides moment is when that sad lonely girl who's been giving Dawson the letters kills herself. That's so sad and kinda reminiscent of The Royal Tennenbaums. Yeesh.
All right, that's enough from me. Ames is telling me I need her sleep (which means she's logging off), so I'm going.
~ M.M.W who is still confused over stupid teenage movie. Shall watch Onegin tommorow ~
PS: Forgot if I mentioned that I saw Rat Race. Funny but at times dreadful. But its a nice, mindless movie to watch. Rowan Atkinso was bean-like. All good. Seeing him with Newman (who's lost weight since Seinfeld) was funny! Okay. Okay. Am going to bed. Sowee, beauty queen! *points to Ames*
PPS: One more thing...I promise. Oh, hot gay guy was so cute. I think his name was Paul. Awww...and I felt so bad coz he was after Dawson (Sean, I think in the movie) who was so hetero and was love with dark, eyed girl. Aww...but he looked gay, but was funny Draco-like. Aww. I might even forget Orlando Bloom for him...unless of course, if he really is gay...and then I'll take Bloomie back. Aw, so hot! And he's got a great body (shown during yogya moments). Cute. *Sends pic to Em who's still on with fuming Ames* All right, all right I'm going. Will find out his name tommorow. Unknown though.

Blah blah blah. Have screwed another day over...but at least I know what I'm talking about and I think I have enough to write about for my essay. Which is good. But since everyone is going to see Underworld this weeked...that means I have to finish my essay by tommorow. Or at least do really well tommorow on both my Lit and EE. I don't want to finish but I want to have it pretty well done, or at least a first draft so that on Sunday I can relax. SHit, yeah right.
Em has sprung news upon me...there have been rumblings that O.B. may be bi-sexual, there's been something about this German guy called Andre Sche...something. But, I don't believe it. But hell if she don't like it, then wehey! But then again, its bi.
Someone keeps rattling at the door. I'm getting freaked. Okay...must be my sister back late from the tennis. I wanted to go! Wahhhh! Oh well, next year. But next year I'll be working. WAhhh...
Ames: Stop moaning, crybaby.
Me: Wahh...shut up Ames...Wahhhh!
Em: She's pining because she fears that Orlando may like a guy better than her!
Me: *even louder* WAHHHH!
Nothing much else really. Except I weally, weally want to see Underworld. And OMG! School starts soon! WAHHH!!!
~ M.M.W who is worried and shit-faced ~
PS: Partay tommorow. And guess what, i have to entertain. At least its Luke. Now that I think about it, Luke is the only other survivor that I can speak to on a regular basis. He's the only one who knows me in two countries. Weird, no? At least it will be good to be around a boy for awhile. Sucks to you, Amesie.
Ames: At least I have a boyfriend.
Me: WAHHH!
Em: Wrong. SHe means plural, she has boyfriends.
Me: Oh you're right. Ames is a tease.
Ames: AM NOT! *is v. affronted*
Me and Em: Ames is a tease! Ames is a tease!!!
Too whoot, late night chatting gets really childish after a while. Well, am off to bed now. Wish me luck, children. That and stamina and determination and all that other stuff everyone else gets but me!!! *sings* Off to Orlando-land...I mean nod-nod land. Hehh...heh.
PPS: Btw, Ian McKellan (Gandalf) plays Death in Last Action Hero. That was spooky. Thoughts of him using the other half of the ticket and bringing to life all the other evil/gay men and taking over the world, kinda spooked me. See how deluded I am?
Just thought I would steal this off Molly:
~
A small and very cute anecdote about Sean Astin, apparently from Rolling Stone:
---
When Astin was sixteen, he decided he wanted a real job. Over the vehement objections of his mother, he spend three months as a movie usher in L.A.'s Westwood district. He loved the work, even putting the butter in the popcorn machine. "I was making $8.25 an hour, and they withheld the tax," he says. "Those checks were more meaningful to me than the $50,000 or the $100,000 that had gone into the bank for acting work, because I understood exactly what I did for it."
On the job, Astin had to wear a blue polyester jacket and a name tag that read PATRICK (his middle name). One night, Corey Feldman, his Goonies co-star, arrived with a large posse for the premiere of his new movie, Lost Boys. As Feldman stepped up to the concession stand, Astin was sweeping up the popcorn under his feet. When Feldman saw him, his jaw just dropped. "Sean?" he asked. Not believing his eyes, he flipped up his sunglasses. "What happened?"
---
Molly's epilogue:
Fast forward to 2004: Sean Astin walks into Burger King to pick up one of the LOTR tie-in mugs with his face on it, and stops and stares in disbelief at the young man sweeping up the fries from the floor. "Corey? What happened?"...
:D

Muahahaha.
~ M.M.W who promises to post more...later, perhaps ~
Oh lord. Am reading well a few things...my friends are delirious at seeing me, isn't that a surprise? And so late at night, they must be drunk! *nods* Well at least Ames. She got drunk in Paris and i asked her why she had to go all the way there, to do it and she said, because at least she when everybody slurs in French, they sound cool. Right.
Anyway, reading this interview for LOTR (not my fault! have been made to read it...i know) and oml, they are soo rude to women and older actors!
Here's an extract from the interview with Ian McKellan which kinda freaked Em out, coz she had no idea that they knew about the slash. See, I told you there was a downside to RPS:
TW: What’s the weirdest fan reaction you've had?
IM: Some of them were angry that a gay man was playing Gandalf. They called it Gandalf the Gay and were opposed to my casting. They're ignoramuses who don’t know about acting. I sometimes look at slash material on the internet, same-gender sex stories usually written by young women. They write about Legolas and Aragorn getting it on.
TW: Do you read Gandalf slash?
IM: Well, I'm quite a fan of pornography. I think it's a very good idea. I think it stops people from going out and hurting each other. (This didn't surprise me, me being me...and also have viewed Gods and Monsters. But Em is eeked and even Ames is a little squidy.)
TW: What shocks you?
IM: Newspapers are full of it. That Russia isn't going to ratify the Kyoto agreement is shocking.
TW: We go from porno to politics.
IM: Look, I get asked questions by people and I feel obliged to come up with an answer of some sort that allows me to seem like I know what I'm talking about. I try, on the whole, to only talk about two things on which I'm an expert. One is acting. I've spent the last 40 years doing it. The other is being gay. I've spent the last 64 years doing that. I can speak personally with authority and present a point of view that perhaps other people haven't come across before. When it comes to having views on how to run the film industry, or how to run the world, a system of beliefs, or my vegetarianism, or my private life, I'd better keep off all that, because it's either nobody else's business or I don't know what I'm talking about.
(Oooh...they are so rude!!! Feels so bad. We the public can be very mean. But i guess thats what sells, sick, sick, sick!)
TW: You can't talk about vegetables?
IM: No, because I love pork pies.
Oh and the Liv Tyler one that almost irritated me, although its true. But STILL!
There's not much to talk to Liv Tyler about. She's in Return of the King for about five minutes, which is two and a half percent of the three-hour, 20-minute movie. (intro to interview)
TW: So how has married life changed you?
LT: Aren't we talking about Lord of the Rings?
TW: No offense, but you're only in a few minutes of this movie. (Uhh! Uhh! *scoffs and storms off* NO offence, my ass!)
LT: Well my whole journey with this film has been interesting, because when I originally signed on to do it, Arwen was completely different. Changing her meant I wasn't in the movie nearly as much, but the character would be represented much better and in a more beautiful way that was more appropriate for the story. So I had to be okay with that, and I'm comfortable with it, because I think it's a really important element to the story as a whole, and also to the character of Aragorn.
~ M.M.W who is shocked, shocked...why are they only nice to young actors? (they interviewed froggy earlier, no incidents there!) ~
PS: Ames has just sent me this really, tiddling article that will have Em fuming even more. Apparently the love of her life was sspotted with Pippin at a strip joint....here. Oh dear, oh dear. Today is just not a good day for Em. Or night.
Ames: I don't see Orlando doing things like this.
Me: Amen to that, sista. You know what I'm saying?
Ames: mmmmhmmm...(we are in black!sista mood!)

Current Mood:

Why are there no Orlando bloom mood icon sets? *cries* I am way too...moody at the moment. Even my sister had something to say about it when we were coming back from the video shop. I'm just trying to concentrate on my work but my mind keeps wandering back to my dreams. *sigh* Must stop. Wah, Ames just told me there's a live journal community called do_me_legolas. 00''
Right...oh, and she's joining. Heheh, nice joke Ames...right? She is sooo disturbed. Btw, even being such an avid fan as myself (yeah...well not really), I JUST MISSED HIS B-DAY. Maybe I'm in denial, maybe I envision him as nineteen. I mean Keira Knightley is 19 and they looked about the same. And everyone's stressing how young they both are. When really...they're like not. I mean, even Em told me Elijah Wood's old. He's 23. That's well...that's old. (Just saying it to p-off, Em!). Maybe its because he looks like he's 16. Although I must say that's not really that scary, the scariest young-old thing I've personally seen is the voice actor of Omi in Weiss Kreuz, he's almost forty and he's got the body of a sixteen year old. Although his face is another topic, his body...his legs and his voice. I remember Sarah, Sara and I (i know, confusing!) lamenting over the fact that this 40 year old had great legs. I remember in an interview him saying that a fangirl had written to him, believing that he in fact was a 16 year old girl. Yikes.
Am trying, in my freetime which is pretty much now to remember as many quotes as I can from the sleepover night. And I've gotten as far as.
Sue: Do you guys want corn?
Cathy: Did you say porn?
Hilarious, I know. Ames has just done a '...' meaning of course that it was hilarious. *sticks out tongue* But it was. There was like this immediate silence that followed Sue and then Cathy spoke and we all burst into laughter. It was great, cept for the fact that Sue's parents were still in the room.
Enough from me, tonight. Have much to rant about tho. And news about Jen's predicament. Btw, I did mention that VB is a bitch.
~ M.M.W ~
PS: Yes, Em. She has a livejournal.
PPS: Apparently SMG (Sarah MIchelle...) was a complete bitch on the Buffy set. That saddens me. Well I guess not everything can be like 'Friends' or Lord of the rings.
PPPS: On another note, Orlando Bloom is in another, yes another film. Muahhaha to you Em. Its 4 to 0, babe. Its called Haven and I have no idea what its about but it stars Gabriel Bryne, Bill Paxton and its coming out THIS YEAR with Calcium Kid and Troy. So yayness! Still 4 to 0, Em. Hehehe. She hates me now, doesn't she?

Btw, if you call me that...*THWAP*.
Can I just ask what is the word 'toob'? Its just...a word and yet I feel compelled to say it to random people. Today I posted anonymously on a person's lj saying 'TOOB' for no apparent reason, and no it wasn't Cassie's. Funny tho.
AM SO V. ANGRY. AND IF THOSE BATS OUTSIDE MY HOUSE WON'T SHUT UP I WILL PERSONALLY GO OUTSIDE AND THWAP THEM WITH MY FLY SWATTER...okay, maybe a broomstick will be better.

PS: The stuff that comes after I sign my name was originally ripped off Ames who does it on her own journal. Well her old journal really. I keep stealing stuff off hers. Sorry Ames.
PPS: VB/Amy/Jordan Wood is an all round, transexual, deluded bitch. Thanks to Em for updating me on that situation. Poor Sean Astin. Wah, feel so bad.

First things first, Sue's Sleepover. What did we watch? Lemme see, Royal Tennenbaums (always good cept for suicide bit! But I think its an awesome shot when you see the blood running down his hands like spreading rivulets.), Down with Love(which was just shocking! Shocking!), Memento (which Sue, Alice and I didn't watch. Told fortunes in Sue's other living room.), Holy Grail (which was watched at 3, which I didn't watch coz I was tired and had seen it!) and then somehow (Alice is quite the convincer when she wants to be!) P and P got on. I think that was it. THat was funny because at that time, everyone awoke (even Carman) cept for Sue. And by the end of it, it was only SUe who was awake (and then me but I only woke up to see them marry!).
I think it was a great night. Good memories too. Like Cathy standing on the bit of wire protruding from Sue's deck twice and she's supposed to be the resident genius?? And then watching Down with Love and bagging it the whole way through (wah! ewan and david doing the gay dance!). Um...then Sue and Alice and I telling fortunes. Which ended up Alice doing a Delta goodrum look on me (??? I know.) and Alice cheating the fortunes by having it done again. Apparently money's going to be good, the worst thing that's going to happen to me is my enemies and two other things which I have forgotten. It was too late. Oh wait, but before that I got high on ice cubes and started staring at Sue weirdly and I think I nearly choked on one. Also, it was really spooky at night in Sue's living room, and I was going to look out the window and I tripped on some stuff I didnt' see on teh floor...and then ALICE RAMMED right into me, and I nearly fell out the window, which was funny at the time but still painful.
And for the first time in years, we actually spent a few good hours talking. Which I think was really nice coz sometimes all I want to do is talk. Coz we nver really talk. And it was just nice. All curled up and everything. But I think my favourite talking was the three of us (Alice, Sue and I) just lying together in a triangle on Sue's pillows talking really profoundly. OR Alice and I hiding (and still giggling) under Sue's desk. There was lots of giggling that night. One great memory was Carman or was it Cathy? telling us about the cannibals (eww!) in Germany advertising to eat someone else. And they got replies! Yeesh! Well it freaked everyone out. And we all curled up on one side of the matress. ANd well...sleeping arrangement went out the window, Cathy slept on the two chairs pulled up and Sue and I got the huge matress and Alice and Anna slept on the small one.
Woke up early in the morning and I forget really what happened but surprisingly it was me, Cathy, Sue and Carman. Oh wait, I almost forgot. Sue got this digital camera and I think it was while we were watching Down with Love that we took Anna's dolls (which she gave to us) and put them in lurid positions. Yucky. But funny. *giggles* And Sue has them, so I don't know how she is going to explain them to her parents. *laughs*
Wah, that was a lot of sleepover talk. But yes, a memorable one. Sorry haven't posted in a while. Got a bad-mouthed e-mail from Ames demanding to know why I haven't written. have been bad girl today, didn't really research. I reALLY DOO NEED TO! Will get to tommorow, cept I have Chem tutor. FUCK! I better not have any homework.
What else? Nothing much really. Cept friends are going to tennis on thursday, WHICH WILL BE ONE WEEK TILL I RETURN TO SCHOOL. Am properly freaking out. Will work ass off tommrow.
~ M.M.W who will work, I promise ~
PS: I am sorry I haven't spoke to you guys in a while. Am working.
PPS: Saw Triumph of Love. I like that film. Think it is very funny and lovely and Jay Nordan is hot. But never as hot as O.B. Actually now that I think about it, why is O.B. so famous? He really isn't that hot, or that good an actor. Oh lord, now I feel so dirty...

Wow. Have not multi-posted since the 12th. Feel less-post whore, more like well...a neglectoreeno (Flanders copyrighted). DV 14 is still not out, feel sorry for that girl with disease. Oooh, watched Willow, my favourite movie of my childhood (that was pretty violentia for my childhood!). And it had this commentary with Warwick Davis who I adore v. much, spent much time squeeing over him in that stupid tele-feature, Snow White. Where it just happens he's a GARDEN GNOME...not a DWARF. Oh him and Miranda, who I squee over too. She is Blackadder!BadAssery. Anyway, I digress. Love his commentary but feel spoiled as I have watched LOTR commentaries which I keep comparing everything to. Eg: 'Hmmmff...not as funny as Dom and Billy' 'Hmmfff...they haven't talked in thirty seconds' or 'Hmfff...I wonder what they'd be saying if I was watching LOTR now'. I.B. damned.
I can hear a pirate commercial in the background...well at least I think its a pirate commercial. Am going out on Saturday to friend's house, Sue's to be specific. I feel daunted by it. Well because a lot of things have happened at Sue's. And I just keep thinking what's it going to be like at Sue's? What's the mood going to be like? Will I enjoy it? Will be mindless zombies all night and not even think to say a word? And at the same time, will I be thinking of a night wasted where I could do some more writing (for work, not stories!)?
I have three mozzie bites on my back which I found when I came out of the shower. I totally freaked out because well, has anyone heard the stories where there are those spiders who crawl on people, lay their eggs in thier skin and the people ignore it, thinking its a mozzie bite and then 2 months later, it bursts open and all these spiders come running out? Wah. Am so v. paranoid.
So want to see 10th kingdom. Warwick Davis was in it! He was talking about it so I semi-squeeed, squeed less coz mum was in room. My sister kept annoying me about who I like (she likes Brad Pitt, but that's general knowledge. Me less, he's okay just...he's her generation) but I remained soberly ambiguous and said I was committed to my work. Ames said there should be a convent for career woman, where you are married to your work. I think Liz (Queen Liz the first, children) was like that, that whole married to god wasn't really her thing either I don't think, she was totally committed to her job. Sometimes I think that I coudl exist happily without a man in my life. Ames scoffs at that and Em blushes like she knows something I don't. Well I'm sorry you're so expereinced (Em's one year younger, I'm quite suspicous!) but I'm not a lesbian, I just think that love complicates matters too much and you get hurt if you let yourself become too vulnerable to a person.
I'd really rather they were my friend first. Of course I like Orlando, but I thought that marrying him (Ames: As if!), poof there goes the desire and what I prompt as love. He's now my husband. Where does our relationship go from there? Teenage crushes and the like mean nothing, and angst and depression are the same. Its just you can be much more extreme when it comes to dealing with angst and depression. *Hint*Suicide.
Wow, I've really ranted on when I'm supposed to be doing work, so I shall get back and leave Ames to her Orlando gawking. And yes, I'm sure you're quite shocked that I'm not mixed up in the Orly gawking. Well tonight, kids I'm taking a break and resuming work.
That's not really taking a break is it?

Wah. I must stop starting posts like this. Am so depressed, Dawson's Creek Finale Episode went sooo unoticed. I mean its daytime telly now, it must have lost loads of viewers. I remember it used to be on prime-time, especially the season where Joey and Pacey went out for a while.
S P O I L E R S
Jen dies. Wah. I liked Jen so much better than Joey. Joey was so gawky and was always running away from love. And she got so irritating, I always hate the girl who everyone just happens to fall in love with. Jen was cool and always made mistakes, and she is v. pretty. And she had to die didn't she? At leaast its not as stupid as 'knee cancer' from falling over (glares at Leelee Sobieski). Jack finally finds someone, the sherrif of Capeside who looks old...okay, 30. But he's got forehead wrinkles and he's too burly for Jack. Jack was probably my favourite after Pacey. He's just so sweet. I didn't realise the show had so many good quotes. I'm quite overwhelmed, so deep and humble. Must have been concentrating too much on the colour of Joey's hair. Tho she is better actress than Alexis Bidel, who SHOULD GET A SMALLER FOREHEAD! Meh. Oh and Joey finally chooses between Pacey and Dawson. She chooses Pacey and I think (not sure, they didnt' really elaborate) he goes to live with her in this really posh apartment in New York. I must say that was a surprise, I was so sure she wasn't going to choose either. I loved the Joey and Pacey relationship but now I feel that its just Joey's way of eternalising teh child-hood passion she had for Dawson. Meh, am overanalyzing. Too Dawson. Oh and Dawson made a TV show called 'The Creek'. Sound familiar? Was funny tho. Bit corny tho at the end where Dawson and Joey watch Dawson's younger sister and Joey's step-brother climb into Dawson's old bedroom. Meh.
Well I guess everyone was wrong, Dawson does not commit suicide in the creek. That would be too funny. *laughs*

I must post this. Although it is bad and good news.
Left to their own devices, the actors began to tell stories about the different gags which occurred on set, which the audience eagerly ate up. Sean began by explaining that at some point during the shoot the actors received gift packages from Gillette, which prompted the filming of a small “commercial” as a Gillette spokesman, which ran something like this: “Hi, my name is Sean Astin, and I play Sam wise Gamgee in Lord of the Rings. Hobbits don’t grow facial hair, but actors do! When I’m on Mt. Doom and I need a real close hobbit shave, I pull out my special, safety-tested Gillette razor….” This brought peals of laughter.
Not to be outdone, Bernard Hill told a story about a gag that occurred while he and Viggo were shooting Viggo’s “Christ-like” entrance at Helm’s Deep after being “saved, fed, watered and given injections by his horse” (at this point, the actors riffed on Viggo’s entrance for awhile, imitating him pushing the doors aside and shaking the sweat out of his hair, with many flourishes and exaggeration). Apparently right before they were filming this scene, Bernard and Viggo had been discussing the merchandizing which would be accompanying LotR, and how tiny, miniature, plastic models of themselves would soon be available in toy stores all over the world. As the cameras began to roll, and Bernard delivered Theoden’s lines about Saruman’s impending army, Bernard asked: “How many?” and Viggo answered: “Thousands and thousands, milord. They will scam you, m’lord. They will cast your head in plastic, you will be on the shelves of every child under the age of 12, you will be underfoot, on the carpet, stuck with gum, etc.” To which Bernard (still in character and trying to save the scene) asked again: “How many?” And Viggo answered: “I already told you, m’lord.” At this point, a cell phone rang on set, and Bernard said (still in character): “somebody answer the phone”, and at that point, the entire scene dissolved and Viggo ended up on the floor laughing.
Since the other actors seemed reluctant to share more of their gag stories (despite Bernard’s urging), Bernard decided to talk about another orchestrated gag, which occurred to him while Peter was explaining that the Uruk-Hai trying to break into Helm’s Deep were just like a visit from someone you don’t want. This reminded Bernard of Jehovah’s Witnesses who come proselytizing on your doorstep (“no offense meant to anyone here who is a Jehovah’s Witness”), so he and Andrew Lesnie (the DOP for the films) put together a shot of approximately 30 soldiers of Rohan answering the banging of the Helm’s Deep door with shouts of: “Who is it?” and “It’s the Jehovah’s Witnesses, don’t let them get in!” followed by all 30 of them shouting “GO AWAY!”
Sean Astin offered up one more story, talking about how he found it hard to find his place caught between such large personalities as Peter Jackson and Sir Ian McKellan, and about how, during FotR, his character was purposely kept somewhat distant from the audience (perhaps to keep Sam’s strength and nobility a secret for the later movies?), so much so that after awhile, he was practically begging for a close-up. So during the shooting of the eavesdropping scene in bag end, he kept trying to slip his face into the shot, at the edge of the screen, and when Ian grabbed him and pulled him through the window to ask him what he was doing, he said: “I just wanted a bit of a close-up, sir”, at which point Ian pushed him aside and said “No, no”, vying in front of the camera with him until Sean fell off the table (but according to Elijah, Ian helped Sean back up and even gave him a little kiss).
And then, BAM, suddenly Peter Jackson is back on screen again, and quickly realizes that the actors are telling blooper stories. The audience begins to call out things like: make a bloopers tape! We’ll pay good money for it, and Peter did say that he imagined a bloopers tape would be made at some point and released on DVD (again, to wild cheering), but not for several years yet, he cautioned.
To end the evening, Peter told one last story about a gag that was played on Viggo Mortenson during filming at Dunharrow. Peter gave Hugo Weaving a pair of Matrix-style glasses, and as Viggo entered the king’s tent to meet with Elrond, Hugo Weaving stood up, removed his cloak, revealed his glasses, and said: “Your Dunedain disguise cannot fool me, Mr. Anderson.” Peter called this the “ultimate geek moment.”
Wah. OMG. Great. But sorta sucky that there won't be a bloopers tape for ages. Mrgh. I will have fallen out of love by then. Damn the bastard, damn him! Do you know how many and how much people would sell for that tape or DVD? He could even make them into a trilogy and make them $100 each and PPL would still buy them. Well at least I definitely would.I just have to see that!!!!!!!! And dammit, i've only got one. And that's the Bernard Hill one mentioned above. Funny tho.

Ames gave me this really great idea for my live-journal. Instead of giving it away...I can utilise it especially for other things. Which is what? Well, I think awhile ago we were talking about doing a huge blog all together, you know just talking and shit, posting little quips to each other but things have gotten more serious and I'd rather it wasn't quite so public (tho anonymous) like blogger.
That's where private posts come in. I would do 'Friends Only' but well, I also use my journal to get into icon journals and 'oooh' and 'ahhh' over their icons so that wouldn't do. Maybe I can get another journal. Or maybe Sue will give hers to me. Either way, we'll probably just private-post off my lj.
Oooh. Did no work today. Bad Mel. Bad me.

I have been pondering the thought of having a boyfriend. I don't know too many boys, really. I guess that's the fault of doing IB, having stuck-up parents, the sociality of my friends and the fact that I go to an all girls school.
But I know that in my past I've relatively gotten on better with boys that I have with girls. Girls are too coniving and jealous. Whereas I always felt level with boys, for all their harsh and bluntness, they never reall play mind games. Well at least not at their age, and I know that if I don't consort with a few boys now and then I may just loose touch with the other sex. I mean, my parent's friends son came over and we became friends post-haste. It was quite delightful. And then of course, Luke and I were close and I used to see him on a regular basis.
Its weird, I've observered that over my past expereinces iwth boys I've always taking a mocking appeal that seems to delight them more than it does me. I mean, once a boy fell in love with me. That's gotta be something. Even thought I don't know why. I guess in some way I've understood boys, and I miss the fact that I don't go to a co-ed school. For all the trauma it brings, I feel a little naieve and inexperienced because I don't have the experiences of being around boys often.
I mean in England, David was my best friend. He was literally, the boy next door. And I miss him so much.
But then I had Justine too. So...meh.
So I guess I do miss boys a lot. I miss the fact that they're grubby, and unintelligible, and cute, and playful, and laugable. I mean I remember so many times Jacob used to do Simpsons accents. I mean they introduced me to a world of fantasy, computer games, sex (the topic not the action! Ames, get your head out of the 'dirty-thoughts' bucket), life in general. They gave me a glimpse of the other side.
And I liked it. Surprisngly, I am not a tom boy but boys liked me at my old school. Because I understood them better than the other girls. And I miss that. I miss it so much. That's why sometimes I feel so naieve and out-of-sorts with girls because they're just so coniving and weird and...sometimes I just want to play soccer, I don't want to talk or discuss things, I just want to go and do something without parental consultations. I want spontaneous fun and excitement which as Ames conjects, had something to with my love of Orlando.
Ooh...Orlando. Have much to post about him. And not all good. But tommorow for fie, it is almost tommorow.

There are friendships that only fade with time. And then there are some that seem strangely nurtured by time and distance. Time together flows as a hiatus never realized.
Had lunch with with friends from highschool today. Some attend college with me, others have been keeping in touch, and yet others have not been seen since graduation. Since we never spent much time all together even in highschool, I was surprised at the lack of akwardness.
Nearly as soon as conversation opened, however, a dive attempted to fish out the details of our respective love lives. Typically, these conversations end with a realization of how much has changed but such was not the case today. That's not to say that we haven't changed. Because we have; our interests, habits, and preferences might even seem unreconizable today by our highschool selves. Yet, our friendships have not changed much. We've been learning to balance aspects of different kinds of relationships better.
And then, some things just never change.
I don't understand how a girl can think she knows a guy when she knows so little. She may know what he likes to eat, what sorts of movies and books he enjoys, and perhaps his music tastes... but if he won't tell her where he works at, or where he really goes to school, or what his family and highschool years were like, there's a lot that she still doesn't know about him. But decisions on these issues, of course, are reserved for individual discretion. I just don't understand it.
On a different note, it is sometimes interesting to observe the lengths which a parent will go to pursue a girlfriend for his (or her) son. This is especially true when the son is not interested in the girl to start with... and they have not seen or spoken to each other since their graduation nearly a year and a half ago.
Well the last bit was not relevant, but I like College Girl's extract. Its cool and I hope this happens to me, well to some extent. I kept thinking about next year, I mean wow! Next year its going to be totally different, more likely I'm going to have totally new friends and be somewhat happier than I am now.
I fear and love the fact that I might actually get together with my webby friends since they're...well most of them...are aspiring to do things that sorta fit with what I want at Melboure too. Plus I'll get to see MV around. So I can't decide whether splitting up with my friends will make it worse or better. Worse in the respects that I will loose them, better in what do I have to gain? ANd what do they have to gain from this sepeartion?
We shall see. Let's just get thru Yr 12 first, babe.

Woo hoo. Have lost 'gained' kilo. Go me! Now just can't gain it again. Go me! Back to Math Summs.
I live in a place that I've never seen. Have you ever watched a crystal in the light? A thousand beams of color, glimmering, glittering, sparkling;; it's breath taking. I am watching my veins collapse, one by one. my skin is turning heather grey & my lips are fading from pink to cold, icy blue. I'm running, but the blood is fleeting quickly & my heart rate is slowing down. I look down at my wrists & the little blue streams, they're disappearing so quickly. There's nothing left to slit;; this is the moment I've been waiting for. And so I just keep running, because I know I am not going to get anywhere, because I never do, because I don't care anymore.
I start vomiting & all at once it's like a relief. I feel myself falling up to the ground, to the heavens, to the nothingness. It all falls away & I say my thank you's & good bye's as the last of my blood seeps into the dirt.
It's the circle of life, of death. I will never glisten. It wasn't meant to be that way.
I read this book called Spoonface Steinbergh by Lee Hall. Its (okay you've heard this before) a terminally ill girl with cancer and how she interprets it and the world around her. Its really beautiful in its telling, as if I can hear the girl's head in my voice spewing serious statements as if they were butterflies. It drags in God quite a lot (the girl is autistic and Jewish, or is assumed, and she loves opera.) but the ending is so absolutely perfect (won't spoil it). I tried listening to opera while I was reading, it works. The operatic, tragic lilt of the voices around me, pierced by the tiny pipe of the girl's in my head. Nearly brought me to tears. Its very sweet and such a good little book to snuggle up to on a cold rainy day (which hasn't been had for a while).
once again, have written way too much and Ames is yelling at me to go do work (she's popped on to check e-mail, or so she says. She's probably just chatting to Josh!! *ducks* Muahaha. You betta hope Em doesn't tell him about my blog!)
~ M.M.W who says to Ames 'That's what you get for telling me wat to do, ma homie! Muah. ~
I luff you, Ames! You are da bomb. Oh god I sound like a tweenie/twinkie. Okay, well AMes is da bomb. She has made this day so much more exciting. Why?
Well she gave me dis...well I would put a link but hey, guess what, I can't coz I'm still downloading it. Yes, it is LOTR and O.B. related, Emmy dear but oh lord it is sooo funny! Okay, well I haven't heard it with sound yet but its an interview with the young/main cast of LOTR (none of the boring oldies) which means the hobbits (okay, cept for Sam! I still luff him anyway!) and two spritely elfs (Orli and Arwen). Anyhoo, they do this bit (i'm not sure why or what its called, maybe 'Crazy 15 seconds') and they just go crazy on set. Like you have Dom and Elijah gygrating with EACH OTHER. Yes, you just read those words. And Orlando bloom dancing and doing Legolas moves and well I was laughing too hard to see the rest but I know someone jumps over a chair. But the entire time, Sean Astin stands in the front either singing or talking about something, I'm not sure, which blocks a lot of the action. So pooies to him.
Omg. So funny. I'm sending it to Mary right now (is finished, will watch) who will in turn send to Em. So once again, I luff you Ames (got it off Kazaa thing)! You are the best!
~ M.M.W who is watching Orli wiggle his bum ~ Too whoot??
PS: Em: While you two (meaning me and Ames) watching Him (Orli, she makes it capital whereby we know who it is but at the same time, implying god?) *distastefully* wigg!e, i have been watching an interview with frog!boy (Em has even been taken to calling her love by Ames and mine nickname, even though it signifies his flaws).
Me: *ignores*
Ames: yes, em? I'll listen. Mel's busy ogling.
Me: Am...SOOOO!
Em: *rolls eyes* I want to say that I do not like it when interviewers flirt with him. They come off so skanky.
Ames: Skankyness is part of reporter-ness.
Me: Sophisticated but skanky. News Anchor!* (goes back to ogling)
Em: *routinely ignores*
Me: *ignores ignoring and goes back to ogling*
Ames: Too much ogling and no listening makes melissa an obscessed fangirl.
Me: All ready there, babe-y!
*Note: That is from the associate. I always keep a few quotes in my head. That one just popped in!
EDIT: On TRL (which is Totally ____ live) the presenter gives the cast 15 seconds to promote their movie. Sam was standing in teh front going on and on about 'it is a great literary classic' and everything while the rest (cept for Liv who stood there and giggled) danced around and did stupid things. V. Funny. Especially when Sean cracked up anyway. Why not 20 seconds??

Hey guys. Just informing you early that from now on am categorising posts, so that you can skim or whateva through. But also that my more deep and personal thoughts (which I'm sure are a very rare occasion) will be on my other blog which I am searching for a template right now. There will be a link here but you prob. won't go to it because well...yeah.
I have two other blogs at the moment but I barely use them (one is for Em's dare and the other one is v.v.v.v.v personal that I don't even trust my webby friends to read it. Sorry Ames, yeah I did bitch about you in it. Jk!)
So what is this journal going to be for? Well that's a good question, its for well, fun stuff. Links. Rants. Daily convos. Pg rated memories (sometimes I get a bit ranty!), cheerful and less depressing vignettes from my life, excerpts from stuff i like, quotes from movies/books/telly. THis is the everything blog really. Its the others which are really just the exceptions to my life. I plan to have the darker one, for my depressions and stuff or with really great, guilty stuff (like finding out Kate Bosworth exploded into little bits...oh, just a little dream of mine!). And then my Orlando Bloom blog which I plan to post all about him, or maybe LOTR too. I don't know, I might just keep that for posting pics.
We'll see. Just wanted to warn you. And do you think I should have a disclaimer for swearing and what not?

Em and I have just hung up. Why? Because its the wrong Midsommers Murders Ep. Yes, it is. OMG! Damn blasted...and oh! *sighs* Oh dear. Will find out what episode and then write to Nine and go 'Wtf don't you play this ep?'. Meh.
Other things, saw Requiem for a dream. That is one of the most disturbing, brutally visual films I have ever seen. I'm still recovering. It revolves around the life of three drug addicts, Harry (Jared Leto, who actually went to New York to mingle with the drug addies on the streets), Marion (Harry's girlfriend played by Jennifer Conelly, my vision of her innocence has now been broken because of this film. She is still awesome, tho.), and Tyrone (Marlon Wayans, famous because of his antics on the Scary Movie franchise, you see none of that here but great acting). And of course, the major star, Ellen Burstyn who plays Sara Goldfarb, Harry's mother. WHo also has an addiction but is not of the type her son has. Anyway, this is not the usual druggie type film, I know what you're thinking. It's hard to explain because you have to watch it. Mainly, it revolves around this short period of their lives and how their desperate need of drugs which at first seems the way only to attain thier personal dreams (to each thier own), but also seems to be the advocate of destroying them. Hence, Marion becomes a well...toy(I shall not elaborate because, oh god. Its horrible and I don't want to think about it.), Harry has his arm amputated (other psych things too, like Marion leaving him), Tyrone going to prison for drug-dealing in the South States of American. Which is pretty shit because well, the southerners do not like Blacks. And Sara, who becomes obscessed with loosing weight to go on telly (hence her addiction, the diet pills) drags her into a spirally frenzy which takes her to a mental infirmary.
Finished it and just sat back and tried to breathe. Of course, I recovered (with a good dose of 'Head over Heels' that stupid love comedy with Freddie Prince Jr and Monica Potter, which I now have watched three times. Jeezus) but am still trying to organise my thoughts around it. Its so depressing. And kinda weird. Like a mix of Girl Interrupted and Being John Malkovich. Hey, I never posted about Girl Interrupted. I like that film. ANyway, here's some quotes.
Sara Goldfarb: [on her pills] Purple in the morning, blue in the afternoon, and orange in the evening. Just like that, one, two, three, four!
Marion: I love you Harry. You make me feel like a person.
Harry Goldfarb: Marion, you are the most beautiful girl in the world. You are my dream
Sara Goldfarb: I'm somebody now, Harry. Everybody likes me. Soon, millions of people will see me and they'll all like me. I'll tell them about you, and your father, how good he was to us. Remember? It's a reason to get up in the morning. It's a reason to lose weight, to fit in the red dress. It's a reason to smile. It makes tomorrow all right. What have I got Harry, hm? Why should I even make the bed, or wash the dishes? I do them, but why should I? I'm alone. Your father's gone, you're gone. I got no one to care for. What have I got, Harry? I'm lonely. I'm old.
Harry Goldfarb: You got friends, Ma.
Sara Goldfarb: Ah, it's not the same. They don't need me. I like the way I feel. I like thinking about the red dress and the television and you and your father. Now when I get the sun, I smile.
(Btw, with this quote. There's a bit of trivia that goes with it that i thought was really nice but didn't spot during the take.During Ellen Burstyn's impassioned monologue about how it feels to be old, cinematographer Matthew Libatique accidentally let the camera drift off-target. When director Darren Aronofsky called "cut" and confronted him about it, he saw to his shock that the reason Libatique had let the camera drift was because had been crying so hard during the take that he had fogged up the camera's eyepiece. This was the take used in the final print.)
Sara Goldfarb: In the end it's all nice.
(Which of course is the irony ini this movie, because in the end, it isn't.)
Marion: You smug fuck!
(I love this, because she stabs the guy with a fork. Which was what I would have done. But its only a dream, of course.)
Oh and some cool trivia.
We repeatedly see Jennifer Connelly's character standing at the end of a pier as Jared Leto's character walks toward her; this closely resembles a shot in the final scene of Dark City (1998) with Connelly and Rufus Sewell. According to director, Darren Aronofsky, this was a pure coincidence; when he came up with the image, based on a moment in his own life, he had yet not cast Connelly, nor even seen Dark City
The overhead shot of Marion in the bathtub followed by her screaming underwater was an exact replica of a shot in the Japanese animated thriller, _Perfect Blue (1997)_ . Darren Aronofsky bought the remake rights to the film just to use that one sequence. (wow, even anime has an influence? Btw, this is such a cool shot.)
Oh btw. I just realised that when I asked my mum to get it for me (first heard of it when I found out that the theme to TTT's trailer was 'Requiem for a dream' which was also a movie, from which it was taken from. It played too many times during that film!) it was rated R for intense depiction of drug addiction, graphic sexuality, strong language and some violence. Well yeah...it was. But I don't think it really need a R+ rating. It wasn't...that...bad, okay maybe the end. Also realised, its the directors cut (hence the increased rating). But seriously...see it, its so good.

Wah. There is an un-official rule book for tig. Check it out here. But of course, if you haven't watched the commentaries (Ames: Implying that you should have? Me: Yes. Of course.) then you won't the faintest of what tig really is. So just ignore this and keep going. Good fun though.
Got Super-super trailer for LOTR. Its all three movies put into one trailer. Its a real long trailer, about 6 minutes long. Technically it should be nine, a minute per hour of the trilogy and considering TTT was less and ROTK was more, it should balance out. Well technically...
Btw, Solace's Meadow, I love your dolls. I love them to bits. Oh. It almost makes me want to doll-make again! Wah! Ooooh!
~ M.M.W ~
WAH. No fair. I got this magazine with some of these pics. BUT NOT THE ORLY One. Nevertheless to quote Mollyringwraith about the OB pic: 'Damn. Oh to be the ring at that moment'.
But the rest look cool, I like Cate's.
*Downloads* Whee. Why is today such a Lotr day? Feel so left out of rest of world. Meh.
BTW, if anyone noticed this, you are a legend.
129. TIDBIT: There's a suggestion of some relationship between Frodo's choice and the fate of the ring. NOTICE THAT THE RING DOES NOT SUCCUMB to the fires until Frodo decides to live. In fact, there is a moment just as we see complete resignation in Frodo's eyes when the inscription on the ring shines forth as though in victory. As soon as Frodo grabs Sam's hand, the ring dissolves in the fire.
And...and (this girl's journal is awesome!))...bits where you laughed at or felt emotional at.
4. when frodo and sam are still on mount doom and they are sittin gon that rock. when that black screeen pops up. yeah.... numerous WTF?!?! it over!!!
~ M.M.W ~
Okay. This is too funny. Have to post fav bits. ANd it keeps AMes from bugging me.
EDORAS
LEGOLAS: The sky wears a film of gauze. The night air breathes infamy. Deceit weaves itself around my fingernails.
ARAGORN: What the hell is that? Poetry? I pay you to do two things: shoot stuff, and look pretty. If you have something to tell me, tell me in normal words.
LEGOLAS: Fine. S-A-U-R-O-N is H-E-R-E. Simple enough for you, numbskull?
ROHIRRIM CAMP, LATER
EOWYN: I love you.
ARAGORN: Me? What? Oh. Um...listen, Ellen...
EOWYN: Eowyn.
ARAGORN: Right, Eowyn. You're a fine-looking woman, and I'm sure somebody will say to you someday, "Erin -"
EOWYN: *Eowyn*.
ARAGORN: "Eowyn...you're the only woman for me. Be my wife."
EOWYN: But it won't be you.
ARAGORN: Exactly! It won't be me. I'm glad we understand each other. Well kiddo, I've got to go. The Paths of the Dead beckon.
EOWYN: Don't do it! You'll never survive!
ARAGORN: Nonsense. You're only saying that because no one ever has.
MINAS TIRITH
DENETHOR: So here's my plan: a barbecue. Featuring smoked and roasted stewards of Gondor. Obey me or die, people!
PIPPIN: Ohhh-kay, crazy man alert.
PIPPIN runs off to get help. DENETHOR gets busy pouring flammable stuff all over himself and FARAMIR.
DROOLING FANGIRLS: Oooh! Unconscious Faramir covered in oil! The things I could do with THAT scenario!
(Mel Edit: I can so see Alice thinking this!)
OUTSIDE MINAS TIRITH
Black Ships sail up, with ARAGORN, LEGOLAS, GIMLI, and DEAD PEOPLE aboard, and save the day.
AUDIENCE: Oh, come on. Orlando Bloom as the token pretty-boy on a ship full of ghosts - yeah, we saw that over the summer. Next!
(Mel Edit: WAHAHAHAHA! *falls over laughing*)
WITCH KING dies. EOWYN collapses. MERRY wanders off somewhere.
PIPPIN finds him under an Orc.
PIPPIN: Merry! Long time no see!
MERRY: Hello, Pippin. (cough) Would you believe I...got lucky with a hot Rohirrim chickie?
PIPPIN: Er...no. No, Merry, I wouldn't. I'm sorry; I want to humor you when you're this hurt; but no, that's really quite beyond the realm of credibility.
MERRY: Then how do you explain this...(cough)...lipstick on my armor?
PIPPIN: (cry of disbelief) No fair! And all I got was an oily unconscious steward!
MORDOR
FRODO and SAM stumble into view wearing Orc gear. AUDIENCE bursts into giggles.
AUDIENCE: Somehow I don't think this is supposed to be funny, but it is.
FRODO: I'm forlorn. Desolate. Wretched.
SAM: Very eloquent, sir. Here I was just going to say, "This place sucks."
GOLLUM: Wait! Lassst chance! You know you want to sssee how pretty Ring looks on my toe, you know you do! Give it to us!
SAM: How about I pound your head with a rock instead?
FRODO: Know what? Change of plans. I'm not throwing it into the volcano.
SAM: Yes you are.
FRODO: No, I have a new idea: I'm going to take over the world. All shall love me and despair.
SAM: But I already love you and despair.
GOLLUM: Smeagol will take over world with you, yes yes! Give it to us!
FRODO: No!
GOLLUM: Yes!
FRODO: NO!
GOLLUM: YES! (chomp)
FRODO: Ow!!
GOLLUM falls triumphantly into fiery chasm from whence Ring came, taking FRODO's finger and the Ring with him. SAM hauls FRODO out of the special Place To Throw Stuff Into Lava room. They find temporary refuge from flowing molten rock on a boulder.
FRODO: Hey, I can remember the Shire again! Small comfort, considering we seem to have about five minutes to live.
SAM: It's a shame. Now I'll never get to marry Rosie Cotton.
FRODO: (startled) YOU want to marry a girl? Really?
SAM: Aye. Why is that so hard to believe?
FRODO: It's just - er - well - you know, I think I must have misinterpreted several things you've said over the past couple decades, Sam. Forgive me.
SAM: No matter. Could you hold me in your arms before we die, sir?
FRODO: See - like that statement, right there. Oh, who cares...
FRODO holds SAM in his arms. They pass out, but GIANT EAGLES rescue them.
WISEACRES IN AUDIENCE: So, how come the eagles didn't just pick them up in Rivendell and carry them straight to Mount Doom in the first place? Why did they have to WALK?
REST OF AUDIENCE: Shhh.
(Mel Edit: I actually have an answer for that! Did they forget the eye of Sauron? Or the Nazgul? C'mon!)
MINAS TIRITH
GANDALF: Hello, Frodo. Thanks for doing all the dirty work. Saved our butts, let me tell you.
FRODO: Gandalf! You're alive! Gimli! You're alive! Legolas! You too! Aragorn! Merry! Pippin! ...Okay, I'm starting to get tired. Are there many more of you?
MINAS TIRITH AGAIN
ARAGORN is getting coronated. Which should be a word, if it isn't. He clears his throat and starts singing in Elvish.
PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK: Jeez, people sing a lot in this movie.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE READ THE BOOK: Hah. That's nothing. You ought to read the book.
LEGOLAS steps out, wearing bridal white and a coy smile. He and ARAGORN gaze into one another's eyes.
LEGOLAS: Are you ready to kiss your bride, my lord?
ARAGORN: Heck yeah. Come here, you.
LEGOLAS steps aside and lets ARWEN in.
ARAGORN: Oh! Arwen! Right. Wow, hi. Heh. Uh - come here, you.
ARAGORN kisses ARWEN. WATCHING ELVES smile as if the sight of a bristly-faced human tonguing a pristine Elf doesn't turn their stomachs.
FARAMIR: The only thing that would make this day better would be meeting an attractive, single noblewoman. Oh, well.
EOWYN: The only thing that would make this day better would be meeting an attractive, single nobleman. Oh, well.
(Mel Edit: Bwahaha. Can't wait for extended edition.)
GREY HAVENS
GANDALF: I will not say, 'Do not weep,' for not all tears are an evil.
AUDIENCE: Good, because that's all we've been doing for the last three hours.
FRODO: Goodbye, Pippin. I'm glad you found your courage. Goodbye, Merry. I'm glad you got to wear horse-themed armor. Sam...
FRODO hugs SAM.
FRODO: I think I'll miss you most of all, Scarecrow.
FRODO kisses SAM on the forehead. FANATICAL FRODO/SAM SHIPPERS stop sobbing for a moment and perk up.
FRODO/SAM SHIPPERS: Oh, hey! I totally need to screencap that and turn it into an LJ icon. (Mel Edit: And has been done. Here. Btw, is not mine. Is XXSAVEXX from lj)
SAM, however, is still weeping.
SAM: Can't I come join you, someday?
FRODO: Let's not talk about that. The audience doesn't need comforting with such pitiful little shreds of hope. Goodbye, my friends.
FRODO smiles as he sails away, at peace in the knowledge that he never again has to get up at five a.m. to have the makeup people put hobbit feet on him.
(Mel Edit: Too true. Too true. That's all Elijah Wood complained about. Getting up early. Well he never went to school, so he can't complain. *sticks out tongue* Stupid hobbit.)
AUDIENCE: (sobbing) I can't believe it's over. What do I have left to live for now?
PETER JACKSON: Well, there's the extended version, due out in
November. Complete with silly outtakes - I promise! And then someday there's the full-extra-special boxed set of 241 DVD's. And eventually there's that musical they're making...
AUDIENCE: November?? (crumples to the ground, weeping) You rip out my heart and tear it to shreds and mash it into the sticky popcorn on the theater floor, and then try to console me with freaking outtakes in freaking November?? I hate you, I hate you...I hate you...(*sniffle*)...Can we come back and see it again tomorrow?
PETER JACKSON: Of course you can, precious.
There's also a link to the TTT, go blow your mind here.

Current Mood:

Current Music: With every breath - Sixpence None the Richer (Leigh Nash)

Am pondering between getting REM soundtrack or ROTK soundtrack (ROTK is winning at the moment). I really want it so I can cry to sleep when I hear Billy Boyd sing. I all ready do that...but it doesn't feel as special when its just on a mixed CD. It feels more special, more authentic if you will, if I get the real thing. THat, or myself pressuring myself to get it.
(BTW: This icon is from Spiffy's Icon Journal . This icon is not in any way mine, I just thought it was cool and lovely because Spiffy made it. That and I wanted to say it's from Trainspotting. That is all.)
Found really great Orlando Bloom icon. Its while he's doing the J.Depp impression which by the way passed me the first time he did it in the film, I was like 'was that the impression...nah, it was stupid'. However bad it was tho, I really like the pic. Btw, nabbed this off winter polaris. Hope she doesn't mind, well...she nabbed it off one-ring. net. A little closer to my bloopers dream...mah...
IGNFF: I'm sure there are some things that come in where you wish you'd never seen them...
BOYD: Oh yes, there is a few things. But then some of them, you just think, "Oh that's cool!" I saw a chess set – like a really cool, silver chess set that we were a part of. I thought, "How cool is that!" I really want one of those.
IGNFF: They should at least send you your piece.
BOYD: Yeah ... although I was a pawn. I didn't really want to be a pawn – I want to be a king.
IGNFF: They could have at least made you a knight.
BOYD: Exactly. Yeah, I should have been a knight – you're right ...
IGNFF: You and Merry should have been knights on the white side.
BOYD: Yeah, maybe when people see Return of the King...
IGNFF: They'll have to revise the entire set.
BOYD: Yeah, once they see how good we look in our new costumes, they might think, "Yeah."
IGNFF: Since everyone should get at least their piece for approval, you'll have to get the cast together to play the game.
BOYD: Yeah, that'd be great, wouldn't it? Do you know the game Top Trumps? We were playing that... someone brought a set, and we were playing Lord of the Rings Top Trumps. But the thing is, Merry and Pippin are like the worst cards in the pack! You get lots of Merry and Pippin, you know you're going to lose – and that's not a good feeling ... to be wishing you don't have your own cards, is bad.
IGNFF: So when is there going to be the home version of Tig?
BOYD: This is great, because the whole idea of that story – you know, people keep asking us for the rules and stuff. The whole idea is that we just made it up, in that moment, that day. So the rest of the rules – the whole thing was, everything Elijah said, we said he couldn't do it... "You can't double tag a tig!"
IGNFF: You need to do a "Dom and Billy Present Tig," and all it is is a box with a piece of paper inside.
BOYD: "There are no rules."
Hehehe! That'd be so awesome, every one of them getting together and playing chess.. Heee!
Speaking of Tig, can someone explain that to me? *looks* I've been living under a rock, and don't know where that came from.. *is ashamed*
IGNFF: Now how many of the short films survive – I think one was on the DVD – of the little skit work?
BOYD: I think there's a lot of stuff that you haven't seen yet. There was always a behind the scenes camera there that'd just tape whatever anyone was doing, but if me and Dom'd get bored, we'd go and do our little thing. We'd say to whoever had the camera, "Come with us." There's a few that you haven't seen yet. One that jumps out at me is one when I locked Dom in a cupboard, that you should look at, because he didn't bring me the right flavor of Haagen-Dazs. So he was punished.
Is it just me and my guttermind, or does that sound really, really kinky? *looks and sulks off*
IGNFF: Have you already put in a request for that to be featured on a future DVD?
BOYD: I think we should! In fact, there's a great tape that no one has seen, that's very hilarious, that I have here. Orlando bought a video camera while he was there, and me and Dom stole it when we were going to South Island. What happened was, they were filming Frodo and Sam's story in the South Islands somewhere, and they put everyone up in hotels while they were doing this, but they didn't have any wet weather cover for Frodo and Sam. So if it started to rain and they couldn't film Frodo and Sam, there was nothing to film, you know? And you can't have that. You can't have a day without filming, so they set an inside set, which was a Merry and Pippin set. So they said to us, "It's too far to fly you every day, so you guys will have to come down, but it means that you probably won't be working." They said, "So rather than put you up in the hotel, we'll get you a nice house down here, while you're here." It was just in a small place in the South Island. We thought, "Yeah, great! We'll just hang out and watch movies or whatever." So we stole Orlando's camera, and there is a tape of that week, of me and Dom sharing a house together, which must make it onto a DVD at sometime.
IGNFF: See, you should produce that yourself, and offer it through the website...
BOYD: I think it could be a full-length movie. There must be at least an hour and a half there. Do you think anyone would go to see it?
IGNFF: With the success you guys have, that thing would sell in a heartbeat. Just call it "Dom and Billy's Wild Ride"...
BOYD: There is some funny stuff on that – I haven't watched it for a while ... There's a lot of stuff that people haven't seen yet.
I would so go see that in a heart beat!!! They really have no idea how many fans they have actually, I read in an interview that Dom said he wonders why they go to premieres coz all the girls are always shrieking out for Elijah and Orlando. Poor dear. *pats*

PS: Sorry for ridiculously long post below. Just goes to show how good that movie is. Rated by many as the best teenage movie ever, considering that no other teenage movie has addressed those sorta real-life issues so well. And with a rocking soundtrack, don't tell me you've never heard 'Don't forget about me' by Simple Minds???
Wednesday, January 7
Wait one last post. Found this quote that I love to the point of death. Its from the Breakfast Club, which although made in the 80s' is one of the most awesome teen movies ever made that addresses huge adolescent issues rather well, in fact. Go see it, if you can. Its very much worth it.

that you spit on
as they try to change their worlds
are immune to your consultations.
They're quite aware
of what they're going through..."
- David Bowie (This quote shows up before the movie begins)
Fuckit. Let's do more quotes!!!
Vernon: Questions?
Bender: Yeah, I've got a question. Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?
Vernon: I'll give you the answer to that question, Mr.Bender, next Saturday. Dont mess with the bull young man, you'll get the horns.
Bender: That man is a brownie-hound.
Claire: You know why guys like you knock everything?
Bender: Oh, this should be stunning.
Claire: 'Cause you're afraid.
Bender: Oh God, you richies are so smart, thats exactly why I'm not heavy in activities.
Claire: You're a big coward.
Brian: I'm in the math club.
Claire: You're afraid that they won't take you. You don't belong so you just have to dump all over it.
Bender: Well, it wouldn't have anything to do with you activities people being assholes now would it?
Claire: You wouldn't know. You don't know any of us.
Bender: Well, I don't know any lepers either but I'm not gonna run out and join one of their fuckin' clubs.
Andrew: Lets watch the mouth, huh?
Brian: I'm in the physics club.
Bender: Excuse me a sec. What are you babbling about?
Brian: Well, what I said was that I'm in the math club, the latin club and the physics club.
Bender: Hey, cherry, do you belong to the physics club?
Claire: Thats an academic club.
Bender: So?
Claire: So, academic clubs arent the same as other kinds of clubs.
Bender: But the dorks like him, they are. What do you guys do in your club?
Brian: In physics, well, we talk about physics... properties of physics.
Bender: So its sort of social. Demented and sad, but social, right?
Bender: I have such a deep admiration for guys who role around on the floor with other guys.
Andrew: You'd never miss it. You don't have any goals.
Bender: Oh, but I do. I want to be just like you. I figure all I need is a lobotomy and some tights.
Brian: You wear tights?
Andrew: No, I do not wear tights. I wear the required uniform.
Brian: Tights.
Andrew: Shut up!
Vernon: Gimme that.
Bender: I don't have it.
Vernon: You want me to yank you out of that seat and shake it out of you?
Bender: I don't have it. Screws fall out all the time, the worlds' an imperfect place.
Bender: Sporto, do you get along with your parents?
Andrew: Well, if I say yes I'm an idiot, right?
Bender: You're an idiot anyway. But if you say you get along with your parents, well then you're a liar too.
Bender: What are we having?
Brian: Just your normal everyday lunch.
Bender: Milk?
Brian: Soup.... Apple juice.
Bender: I can read. PB & J with the crusts cut off. Well Brian, this is a very nutricious lunch. All the food groups are represented. Did your mom marry Mr. Rogers?
Brian: No, Mr. Johnson.
Andrew: All right, what about your family?
Bender: Oh mine? Its real easy. Stupid worthless no good goddamn free loadin' son of a bitch retarded big mouth know it all asshole jerk! You forgot ugly lazy and disrespectful- shut up bitch! Go fix me a turkey pot pie! What about you dad? Fuck you. No, dad, what about you? Fuck you. No dad what about you?! Fuck you!
Brian: Is that for real?
Bender: Want to come over sometime?
(Okay with this quote, you just have to see the actor who plays Bender act it. He's amazing! And believe me, I don't say that v. often.)
Alison: When you grow up, your heart dies.
Bender: Who cares.
Alison: I care.
Vernon: What if your home, what if your family, what if your dope was on fire?
Bender: Impossible, sir. Its in Johnson's underwear.
John Bender: Don't you ever talk about my friends! You don't know any of my friends. You don't look at any of my friends. And you certainly wouldn't condescend to speak to any of my friends. So you just stick to the things you know: shopping, nail polish, your father's BMW, and your poor, rich drunk mother in the Caribbean.
Claire Standish: Shut up!
John Bender: And as far as being concerned about what's gonna happen when you and I walk down the hallways of school together, you can forget it cuz it's never gonna happen. Just bury your head in the sand and wait for your fucking prom.
Allison Reynolds: I'll do anything sexual. I don't need a million dollars to do it either.
Claire Standish: You're lying.
Allison Reynolds: I already have. I've done just about everything there is except a few things that are illegal. I'm a nymphomaniac.
Claire Standish: Lie.
Brian Johnson: Are your parents aware of this?
Allison Reynolds: The only person I told was my shrink.
Andrew Clark: And what did he do when you told him?
Allison Reynolds: He nailed me.
Claire Standish: Very nice.
Allison Reynolds: I don't think that from a legal standpoint what he did can be construed as rape, since I paid him.
Claire Standish: He's an adult.
Allison Reynolds: Yeah, he's married too.
Claire Standish: Do you have any idea how completely gross that is?
Allison Reynolds: Well, the first few times...
Claire Standish: The first few times? You mean you did it more than once?
Allison Reynolds: Sure.
Claire Standish: Are you crazy?
Brian Johnson: Obviously she's crazy if she's screwing a shrink.
Allison Reynolds: Have you ever done it?
Claire Standish: I don't even have a psychiatrist.
Allison Reynolds: Have you ever done it with a normal person?
Claire Standish: Didn't we already cover this?
John Bender: You never answered the question.
Claire Standish: Look, I'm not going to discuss my private life with total strangers.
Allison Reynolds: It's kind of a double edged sword isn't it?
Claire Standish: A what?
Allison Reynolds: Well, if you say you haven't, you're a prude. If you say you have you're a slut. It's a trap. You want to but you can't, and when you do you wish you didn't, right?
Claire Standish: Wrong.
Allison Reynolds: Or are you a tease?
Andrew Clark: She's a tease.
Claire Standish: I'm sure. Why don't you just forget it.
Andrew Clark: Oh, you're a tease and you know it. All girls are teases.
John Bender: She's only a tease if what she does gets you hot.
Claire Standish: I don't do anything.
Allison Reynolds: That's why you're a tease.
Claire Standish: OK, let me ask you a few questions.
Allison Reynolds: I already told you everything.
Claire Standish: No. Doesn't it bother you to sleep around without being in love. I mean, don't you want any respect?
Allison Reynolds: I don't screw to get respect. That's the difference between you and me.
Claire Standish: It's not the only difference I hope.
John Bender: Face it, you're a tease.
Claire Standish: I'm NOT a tease.
John Bender: Sure you are. Sex is your weapon. You said it yourself. You use it to get respect.
Claire Standish: No, I never said that she twisted my words around.
John Bender: What do you use it for then?
Claire Standish: I don't use it period!
John Bender: Oh, are you medically frigid or is it psychological?
Claire Standish: I didn't mean it that way! You guys are putting words into my mouth.
John Bender: Well, if you'd just answer the question.
Brian Johnson: Why don't you just answer the question?
Andrew Clark: Be honest.
John Bender: No big deal.
Brian Johnson: Yeah answer it.
Andrew Clark: Answer the question, Claire.
John Bender: Talk to us. Every one: C'mon, answer the question. Come on. Answer it!
John Bender: C'mon, it's easy. It's only one question.
Claire Standish: NO I NEVER DID IT!
Allison Reynolds: I never did it either. I'm not a nymphomaniac. I'm a compulsive liar
Richard Vernon: You think about this: when you get old, these kids -- when *I* get old -- they're going to be running the country.
Carl: Yeah.
Richard Vernon: Now this is the thought that wakes me up in the middle of the night. That when I get older, these kids are going to take care of me.
Carl: I wouldn't count on it
John Bender: YOU ARE A BITCH!
Claire Standish: Why? 'Cause I'm telling the truth, that makes me a bitch?
John Bender: NO! 'Cause you know how shitty that is to do someone, if you don't got the balls to stand up to who you like
Brian Johnson: Dear Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it is we did wrong, but we think you're crazy for making us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club

Am nearly finished through Em's Kazaa account. She's got a load of shit (and hiphop! Yikes!) and so many LOTR clips. There's a real cute one where Elijah and Orlando hug. Aww so cute, they leap into each others arms (hehe, imagine if they knocked each other out). *yawn* I love sharing. I'm quite tired actually and I have to go to bed soon coz I gotta get up early to get ready for Math tutor. I cannot wait for the end of next year where I won't have to do tutor ever again...unless I tutor myself which is doubtful.
*yawn* Am falling asleep in chair. Mary just said goodnight. Its been a quiet night today, everyone's sorta moody and tired so I'm quite glad that I'm getting to bed before the requisite 2:00 am bell. Mrgh. Cannot think of good movie to download. AMes keeps telling me the goonies but I just ignore her. So what else to tell other than teh fact that the idea of me having a relationship and maintaining it with O.B. are a million to nil. Ah.
