WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? No.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? What, so you can use it against me?
DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Yes, I've been told I have pretty cursive, but then again all the soldiers I write to are so hard-up for something soft and round, they just might be saying that out of desperation.

I often make a passing commentary on the silly things other people say in order to help them reflect on the absurdity of the information which they unsolicitously impose upon me.

Mrs. Who, Cappy & Teresa all guessed correctly. Double-kudos go to AWTM. Although she is correct about the movie quote, (it also is a line in Dangerous Liaisons), and the keywords shown can also apply to her movie choice, the actual movie I was referring to is The Bourne Identity. Below are the movie titles to the meme and as you can see, the first 5 titles are film adaptations by european production teams of books by european authors.
1. Pride & Prejudice (starring Colin Firth)
2. Bride & Prejudice (starring Martin Henderson, Aishwarya Rai & Marsha Mason)
3. Mansfield Park (starring Harold Pinter, Sheila Gish & Frances OÂ’Connor)
4. Sense & Sensibility (starring Emma Thompson, Kate Winslett and Hugh Grant)
5. Impromptu (starring Judy Davis, Hugh Grant, Mandy Patinkin, & Emma Thompson)
6. Little Women (starring Wynona Ryder, Susan Sarandon, Gabriel Byrne, etc.)
7. His Girl Friday (starring: Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell & Ralph Bellamy)
8. Charade (starring Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Walter Mathau, etc.)
9. Philadelphia Story (starring Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, & Jimmy Stewart)
10. The Bourne Identity (starring Matt Damon, Franka Potente & Chris Cooper)
11. Monty Python & The Holy Grail (starring Chapman, Cleese, Gilliam, Idle & Jones)
I've been in a pissy mood today. Bad day at the office. My knee is killing me due to the extreme changes of weather and all the walking and going up & down stairs.
So it's a perfect day to just be brain dead and watch a little tv. I watch it so seldom that I don't even know what's on. So, you just might see me back here in a bit. But before I go, I promised Daz'd I'd do the movie meme when I had a moment and so here it is. But I did the meme my way. Meaning I included a famous quote from each movie. Why? When my friends were alive I used to go around throwing out movie lines in answer to questions all the time and I miss doing that. This is my one chance to say "I fart in your general direction." And because I have a very quirky taste in movies I thought you guys wouldn't get more than 2 (only 2 of the movies were made in the last 10 years). Plus, I didn't want to frustrate any of you and I wantd to make you smile in the process. So good luck and enjoy!
1. Bachelor / Sculpture / Historical / Snobbery / Parental Relationship “your arrogance and conceit, your selfish disdain for the feelings of others made me realize that you were the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry.”
2. Courtship / Interracial Romance / Class Differences / Goa / Male Female Relationship “There's nothing wrong with having standards, is there?”
3. 1800s / Adultery / Portsmouth / Poverty / Scandal “Run mad as often as you choose but do not faint.”
4. Intimacy / Secret Engagement / 19th Century / East Indies / Marriage Ceremony “She's heading an expedition to China shortly. I'm to go as her servant. But only on the understanding that I am to be very badly treated.”
5. Classical Music / Composer / 1830s / Chopin / Duel “it's an act of love! It's the divine mystery itself!”
6. Dancing / Party / Play / Emotional Depression / Broken Heart “You must write from the depths of your soul!”
7. Murder / Satirical / Poker Game / Handcuffs / Police “you're wonderful, in a loathsome sort of way”
8. Match / American Abroad / Older Man Younger Woman / Hidden Treasure “you won't be able to lie on your back for a while, but then you can lie from any position, can't you?”
9. Philadelphia / Champagne / Boat / Adultery / Changing Room “I would sell my grandmother for a drink - and you know how I love my grandmother.”
10. Facade / European Women / Man Hunt / No Opening Credits “Nobody does the right thing.”
And for bonus points:
11. Anachronistic / British / Eccentric / No Ending / Corporeal Mortification “I fart in your general direction.”
I won't tag anyone because I think almost everyone has done this meme.

Anywho, it's been so intensely busy I don't even have time to blog about it. But rest assured I'll be fulfilling my meme obligation from Daz'd soon, and when I do I doubt you'll be able to guess my selections! Till then enjoy this little thing I stole from RSM. Notice how all of a sudden every one is claiming extreme badness in order to achieve the position of uber cool. Kids, give it up! The rooool of cooool is you either got it or you don't. You were either a bad motha from the getgo once you sprung from the canal or you've been trying so hard, that finally only you and the mirror believe you are. Want to see who's right, then take the 5min. test!
You Are 67% Pure |
 You're pretty pure, and you have no plans on changing that. You do have a devilish side though... and it will probably get the better of you. |

Your Dominant Intelligence is Linguistic Intelligence |
 You are excellent with words and language. You explain yourself well. An elegant speaker, you can converse well with anyone on the fly. You are also good at remembering information and convicing someone of your point of view. A master of creative phrasing and unique words, you enjoy expanding your vocabulary. You would make a fantastic poet, journalist, writer, teacher, lawyer, politician, or translator. |

You Should Be a Poet |
 You have a way with words... and a talent for drawing the pure emotions out of experiences. Your poetry has the potential to make people laugh and cry at the same time. You just need to write it! |
Yes, I just need to write... I just need a little inspiration. Something that will get the blood pumping, the creative juices flowing... a little something something. I'll sleep on it and see if I can find it. In the meantime. It's Wednesday, which means a horde of people descending on NYC for Mattinee Theater Shows. I never go out for lunch on Wednesdays because the sidewalks are packed. Tomorrow is a day I'll make an exception as my boss invited me out for lunch. Maybe I'll wave at you when I'm walking past the cameras.

You are The Empress
The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, thAn sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
Take the Test to Find Out.

 I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly.

 | You scored as Passion. You are an incredibly sexy and very passionate person. Whether that passion is for good or evil has yet to be determined. Your charisma and sex appeal creates an aura or magnetism, which captivates others in your great power, as they seemingly flock to your service. You are very competitive, almost to a fault. But you also let others win on occasion.
What do your eyes reveal about you?(PICS!) created with QuizFarm.com |
Gosh, that is one incredible eye. I have a definite weakness for green eyes. And yes, I do live life with incredible passion. When you die and get a second chance at life, there is no other way to live but with passion. However, my expression of that passion is neither reckless nor self-centered. I have too much self-respect and care too deeply for those in my life to have it be so.
So how can you tell how much I care for you? The answer is always in the eyes. If you stand before me and look deeply enough, my eyes will reveal the secret affection I have for you. So take your time to look deeply into my unadorned naked eye. Through it you will uncover the mystery and the magic that is life with me. And while you stare deeply, you will begin to find yourself getting sleepy... very sleepy... and the longer you stare the sleepier you will become. You are now getting a strong urge to go to your ATM machine to withdraw huge amounts of cash. Depositing said cash in an envelope will you a spine-tingling chill as you never felt before. That spine-tingling chill will become something quite intense as you send Oddybobo some money for her campaign and wish her a happy belated birthday!

As an INTJ, you are Introverted, iNtuitive, Thinking, & Judging.
This makes your primary focus on Introverted Thinking with an Extraverted Intution. [Okay, can someone explain to me how my intuition can be extroverted?]
This is defined as a NT personality, which is part of Carl Jung's Rational (Knowledge Seeking) type, and more specifically the Mastermind or Scientist.
Though Passionate, you aren't as openly affectionate as some of your NT counterparts, and this may cause other bloggers to assume you aren't as friendly. Your ideas and actual applications for these ideas are brilliant, however, you might be more likely to create something more masterful in your journal.
My Bloginality is INTJ!!!

| Jedi Padawan You scored 61% on the Force Sensitivity/Jedi Chart! |
| Other Jedi like you are: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Episode I), Luke Skywalker (Episode IV) and Anakin Skywalker (Episode II). You are a Jedi Padawan, your fundamentals of good and justice strongly influence you. You may still have some tendencies the dark side may claim, like fear and love, but for the most part though, the Light Side flows through you with strength. You have not fully discovered your powers through the Force but you are most definitely powerful, though you don't use your power to harm unless threatened. You have probably helped a fair number of people and have a core understanding of what is right, wrong and just. You probably command respect from others simply from your status and the way you serve a greater purpose. Be wary of your feelings as thoughts of yourself only lead to fear and hate and the dark side. Concentrate on controlling yourself and let the Force flow through you, only do what is just and promotes peace and in time you will become a greater Jedi. Be wary of your feelings for they may still be strong especially if you were discovered later in your life. Be careful of the Sith for they will seek to either destroy you or seduce you. |  |
