LALOLKFATYK

Dear Erica, Here's your reply meme post. Don't ever do that again or I'll have a few guys with crooked noses from up the block, named Vito and Vinnie pay you a viist.

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.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? IÂ’m a vegetarian.
DO YOU HAVE KIDS? One.

IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Yes! I love me. Well, I love most of me. There are parts of me that are absolutely fabulousÂ… when working right. Like my brain. Uhhm, I definitely like my personality. And I've been told I have a GREAT personality. What? What're you smiling at?

DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? Yes. 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. Like when someone’s annoying me and they ask “am I bothering you”, or “is there something I can do to help?” I just can’t help but say with a sweet face “Sometimes I need only that which your absence can provide.”

DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? I have all my genuine parts, plus a few extra springs, rods, & pins.
WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Why defy or test the odds?
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Kashi Go Lean, it beats up Tony the Tiger every time!

DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? No.
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? Right now not necessarily. But my sneakiness makes up for it every time.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? I don't like ice cream.
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? Their aura.
RED OR PINK? Black!
WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? IÂ’d tell you, but then IÂ’d have to kill you. IÂ’m a NYer after all.
WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? My 7 in heaven.
WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? IÂ’m not wearing any.
WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE? Jasmine rice with Swordfish Teriyaki and crispy edamame leftovers.
WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? ChopinÂ’s Nocturne
IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE? Black!
FAVORITE SMELLS? Newsly cut christmas trees, a dewy-moist earth early in the morning, the beach at low tide, a sun-dried white cotton t-shirt, and the smell of humidity in the air from rain thatÂ’s only a few miles away.

WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE? A wonderful friend.
FAVORITE SPORTS? All
HAIR COLOR? Dark Brown w/a few grays

SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? Yes.
LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED? 300 - three times and counting.
WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING? Black!
SUMMER OR WINTER? Fall
HUGS OR KISSES? Show me someone who doesnÂ’t like one and IÂ’ll convince them!
FAVORITE DESSERT? MY Tiramisu

Movie Meme & Things Done My Way

UPDATE:
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.
