true. I don't go to Ellis' Blog anymore, he always posts those "don't look" links which I then, of course, have to look at. and then want to tear my eyes out.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I am the master of self control, not to mention repression. When people tell me I don't want to know I generally take their word for it.

Neil Gaiman's live journal. I've found he points me to better music than Warren Ellis.

is having 300+ DVDs insane?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

On my last count I had around 200 DVD's. It's only insane when you have a friend at work who says "Write down every one you have so I can see which I want to borrow!"

 

Yes, I wrote them down for him.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I have a notebook in which I keep complete alphebetical lists of all of my media. All of my CDs, all of my movies, all of my novels. I also cds and novels by genra, alphebetize them by author or artists, and then put them in chronological order.... My collection is better organized than the local library.

And for not thinking I'm insane, you're officially invited to come to my studio anytime you're in Chi-town to make molds! I'm also reminded that it's high time I poured some more rocks to use as Hannukah/Solstice/Christmas gifts.

ooh... do I get to play with clay??? Sara took my playdough away, said I can't have it back 'till I finish my final paper

This truth question is for all three:

What's the LAMEST, STUPIDEST kind of fashion statement you've ever made, or fad you've been a part of?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm afraid this doesn't really apply to me... I never pay much attention to cloths, the entirety of my wardrobe pretty much consists of 3 pairs of camo pants, 3 pairs of jeans, and a dozen or so identical black tank tops. I let my grandmother continue to do my shopping until I was 14 or so and quit growing, it was more convenient than having to go purchase clothing myself. This resulted in a lot of onbcoxiously pastel sweaters and oddly colored socks, but nothing truly dreadful... Something new? And actually I think I signed up for Truth OR Dare.

Ok, tried this one but got about 10 seconds in to my bawling and the guy hung up on me. I lost my nerve afterwards.

 

Not very good at dares, unlike Angie and Rogan!

 

I think I will stick to truths from now on!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

lol you made the effort and that's more than worth the credit :) I salute you, it takes guts. ( I still suck at prank call, I'm always just waiting for them to call my parents to ask what the hell that was all about. Never mind the fact that my parental types are all at least 2 hours away... this is what comes from living in a small town!)

Now, would we be stalking for celebrity fascination or sexual voyeurism or both?

 

I have to think about this one. It'd probably be someone totally bizarre for the odd-celebrity factor, like, I dunno, Deep Roy or something.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Personally I'd lean toward celebrity fascination. Strikes me as least likely to get our thread locked...

I stalked someone for a while.......

 

Just for fun

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Didn't you get bored? I mean what do you do when they're in the bathroom or something? Try to keep one eye on the stall door while reading your comic?

No thanks, I'd rather while away my time making lists of people I WOULD stalk if I were ambitious.

Sit back and enjoy the pretty sounds.

Kate Winslett is a remarkable actress, I loved "Sense and Sensibility"

I'm too lazy to stalk, it sounds too much like work. Besies, I'd fall even more behind on my reading, and I'd never make it to the comic ship for my monthly pick-up...It just seems too labor intensive. That said, if for some reason I decided to... well we already know who's garbage I'd be digging through.

In all honesty I'm probably still bitter about being in junior high the year Titanic came out. There's nothing like a few dozen shrill and giggly 13 year old girls to sour you on just about anything. Hell, I didn't mind Titanic the first time (OK, I was kinda bored, but unsinkable Molly Brown and the guy bouncing off the propellor pretty much made up for that) but when suddenly something you didn't like that much to begin with takes over the world for the better part of two years.... I admit it, I'm still throwing darts at a target with Dicaprio and Winseltt tacked to it.

hmm, the lyrics read like end-credits anime music...I'm kind of hoping there's some subtlety that gets lost in the translation.

The road to Hell is paved with good fun... ;)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

So best run as fast as you can?

JHis roles in What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Catch me If You Can and (notably) The Basketball Diaries are really pretty well done.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

lol, in that list of 3 you just listed the two movies I actually liked him in. Gilbert Grape, where he does an amazing job as a mentally retarded boy, and Basketball Diaries where he's a junkie spiraling out of control. This says somethign to me. Namely that it isn't his acting that I should blame but his judgement, he should be taking more of these interesting, challenging rolls, and not trying to play some irritating as all hell prettyboy. (Catch Me was a good movie, but Dicaprio didn't impress me there).

and i'm sure John will lock this thread pretty soon, so i don;'t think me putting a top 3 stalk list would be very helpful.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

*sigh* so the "creepy flirting" thread gets to live but the "Who would you ogle from a distance" thread must die? Story of my life... Actions are rewarded while idle speculation is smacked down with an aluminum baseball bat

what i meant was - in Gangbangs of New York, he was trying for that Johnny Depp look, what with the beard and the hair, and even the acting, but failed miserably, hence the "poor man's" description...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hmm, well I suppose we could forgive you...I don't really have cash for a plane ticket to impliment the vinegar or gerbils.

EDIT: to respond to Rogan's last message without adding more headers. All you had to do is compare the two without obviously insulting DiCaprio :) I'm notoriously reactionary.

Wow, I can't stand DiCaprio but Angie takes the award for description of hatred!

 

So you are Johnny Depp fan then?  :p Whats your favourite Depp movie?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Fan, accolyte... I'm too lazy to make silly websites or anything but I'm more than willing to worship. As for favorite movie, you mean I have to pick one??? Hmm, maybe "Deadman".... Then again, I've loved just about everythign he's done from "21 jump street" on :) (Single exception "Crybaby", which was funny the first time but has irritated me more and more with each successive viewing). "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" or "Deadman" would have to top the list though. In both movies he's eye-candy WITH a great role.

I just finished screaming at Rogan for a very horrible thing he said about Johnny Depp(OK, OK, maybe not so horrible, I MAY of overracted) and it got me thinking. I don't usually obsess about individuals, I don't read news articles about actors or musicians and their personal lives, I seldom know who's married to who. That said, if given the chance and the means (a stable income that didn't actually necessitate working, a get out of jail free card, a chance of actually not getting noticed, a good set of binoculars) I'd stalk Johnny Depp. After a little more thought I realized that Johnny Depp, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and Neil Gaiman are the only people I could see myself stalking (OK, probably young David Bowie, but he's not young anymore so he's no longer in the running).

So now the question, what's your top 3 list? We are going to assume that for some reason you'll be a fly on the wall, completely unnoticed (and thus not arrested), and never having to worry about pesky things like money or transportation.

I reproduce my original sculptures in ceramics, primarily porcelain (which, in and of itself, is enough to make any trained ceramicist worry about my sanity). Among the tasks I often have to undertake is making molds. One day, instead of casting one of my sculptures, I decided to make a mold of a small porous rock.

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Insane? Possibly, but it still sounds really neat.

DiCaprio - poor man's Johnny Depp

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Sacrilege!!! For this you should be skinned, then rolled in salt and vinegar and baked like those nasty low-fat potato chip!!! You should be slowly eviscerated over the course of a week, while rabid gerbils gnaw at your intestines and magpies pluck out your eyes!!! DiCaprio is a stupid, UGLY, insipid little shit who should of stuck to bit parts in sit-coms!!! The only times I've enjoyed his preformance he's been playing a retarded kid or a junkie.

Johnny Depp on the other hand... the word "Devine" comes to mind.

Orlando Bloom MIGHT scrape by as the poor-man's Johnny Depp, but he'd be doing it on looks alone.

Or if you can think of a dare that I can do inside by myself cause people are off limits to me!

 

And LOL at Angie! Brilliant!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Alright. I dare you to call a random phone number (the number in question doesn't matter, go through the yellowpages for your least favorite pizzaria for all I care) and before whoever answers it actually gets the chance to get a word in start bawling about some sort of family/friends/love-life crisis. Your boyfriend left you for your leperous older sister, whatever. When properly interruped, or when you run out of steam, politely appologize, mention you got the wrong number, and hang up. The ability to record this conversation would be priceless, but of course not necessary.

Bonus points if you manage to nail a telemarketer. Fuckers woke me up at 7:30 this morning!!!

I'm bored, and nobody else has requested Dare...

Alright, I'll bite again. This time I say random (dealer's choice, truth or dare)

Never heard them, but they're danish, and a quick google turned up this site, which has translations of several lyrics. Enjoy!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I actually have that site already, but I'm not willing to use it... I'm afraid that my worst fears will come true and I'll find out that they're saying something stupid or something that I disagree with and that I'll get all bitter and have to stop listening. As it is, they're saying whatever the hell I want them to be saying :) Selective ignorance, if my president gets to profit from it why shouldn't I? (yes, that was laced with sarcasm)

i assume that the "eating roasted chicken with bare hands" contributed to the medieval vibe... ;)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

lol, honestly more "feral" than medieval. With some of the looks we were getting I was half expecting someone to call either the cops or animal control.
