Quick update

Apparently I was wrong about Down With Love, the film starring Renee Z. and Ewan McGregor - you can enjoy it without knowing the films it parodies, actually you like it better. (Thanks to oyceter for correcting me on that one. Note to self, stop making generalizations - you're always wrong.)

Hmm should have stated this before...if I don't respond to comments to my live journal entries, please don't take it personally, I just can't think of anything to say in response is all. (Not that anyone is taking it personally - just thought I'd throw that out there just in case...you never know.)
Also sorry haven't been commenting on others journal entries much - same thing applies. (Not that you guys were missing my comments or anything or care...but again you never know.) Just don't have much to add right now. Also, in case you haven't already guessed, I'm a tad emotionally volatile - I can't kick or punch anything (without really hurting myself) so I find that I may be given to un-provoked snarky outbursts. Trying to keep myself from doing that, don't want to hurt my friends or any innocent bystanders...that never ends well. ;-)

Oh writer spoilers for up-coming ATS episodes, which won't air until Jan 7, 2004: ( Read more... )

Another made up meme thing

Why? Because I'm annoyed with life and want to distract myself from stuff that is annoying me. ;-)
Oh before I start - some good news: I finished
my marketing plan over the thanksgiving holidays and turn it in tonight at 6:10pm. Last class. Yippee!

This is a new meme, created by me - regarding the last meme (I'm pretty loose on the rules thing, if you want to list the Sandman series - all 11 volumes
as one work? You can. You can also list all the
volumes of Anne Rice's vampire series as one work as examples - of course it would be counter to the meme if you listed all BTVS episodes as your favorites - now that is cheating. ;-0).

New meme: (Only one major rule, if you should choose to do this - no bashing!! (I'm doing this to cheer myself up and figure out more about myself and others in fun way) Outside of that pretty much anything goes - oh and you can answer any of the questions you wish, skipping some or doing all...doesn't matter.)

1. Do you like slash fanfiction?
2. If you like slash, recommend one that you liked with author. (If you don't skip the question. For a definition of what slash is go to thebratqueen who did an essay on it. Rather good.)
3. Do you read fanfiction?
4. If so recommend one.
5. Are you a post-structuralist/existentialist or a structuralist/deist? Do you follow Sarrusa or Derrida? (for definition see superplin's essay on Destiny).
6. How do you view God? (note this is not do you believe in God, it's how you view or consider the concept of God...big difference)
7. Which philosophers off the top of your head are you interested in and want to learn more about?
8. Which philosophers do you prefer?
9. What's your favorite myth or myths?
10. What's your favorite fairy tale?
11. If you could re-write a myth or fairy tale, which one would it be and how would you re-tell it?
12. Do you know any authors who re-tell myths or fairy tales? IF so, whose your favorite? What myth or fairy tale did they re-tell?
13. If you could write a story from the perspective of one character in fiction - can be television, movies, books, or comics - which character would you pick and why? (Off the top of your head)
14. Okay, what do you really think of online personality tests? Like the Similar Minds one?
(yes, I know this breaks my bashing rule - but since none of us created those tests, we're not bashing each other right?)
15. If you could remake a TV show or Movie, redo it, re-cast it, rewrite it - which one would it be?
16. If you could write a biography on any historical figure, alive or dead, and interview them for it, which one would you pick? Why?
17. Who is your favorite historical figure? Why?
18. What's your favorite historical period? Do you know any books on this period you'd recommend?

Rules - remember no bashing of other's choices,
although you can refer to them, particularly if you pick the same one. You don't have to answer all the questions, just pick the ones that interest you if you like.
