Fear and Convenience

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 00:05:09 GMT

Petrified hearts
Let ‘em know if you got ‘em
And all I can give
I wander from the shower
My legs on your bed
So I do not think about her

But tell me did it hurt you
In a new way
In a new way
In a new way
Tell me did it hurt you
In a new way
In a new way
In a new way

Did it hurt you
In a new way
In a new way
In a new way

I have seen fear and convenience
I have never glimpsed a romance
All my riches in the company van
I drove much faster than the rain

Then it hurts you
In a new way
In a new way
In a new way
Then it hurts you
In a new way
In a new way
In a new way

All our senses dry as cotton

"What shall I do?"

Thu, 27 Jul 2006 06:05:56 GMT

Oh my God, see below, that is a FANTASTIC mood icon. I don't actually feel numb at all, by the way, but... can you get any more graphically emo than that?
I actually started this LJ to placate a LJ-using friend, then later to occupy myself at boring admin job last year and never used it except to infrequently exclaim about truly random things, since I have a personal blog I've kept up since 2003. However, the idea of having dozens - nay, millions of LJ communities at my very fingertips has always been exciting.
I wonder if I should start using this LJ for real. Hmmmmmmmm. Do I have TIME? Not a question. EVERYONE has time, they just don't use it.
Randomly, I want to one day write for pajiba.
I have facebook-messaged Emerson Spatz. He never replied. Woe!

Which Shoebox Project Character Are You?

You're Remus Lupin! You may be obsessed with small dots and too awkward to fit in anywhere, but you are loved by many nonetheless. In situations, you almost always arise as the voice of reason, preventing disaster on many occasions. Although you'd much rather spend your time with a book in an old carrel in Lativia , your kindness leads you to help your friends in their times of need. You may not always know what to say, but never fear, your awkwardness has won you the hearts of many.

The movie habit meme

Sat, 06 May 2006 22:52:05 GMT

I know there's definitely one, anyway.

1) I am genuinely unhappy that Alan Rickman is too old for anyone of my generation.
2) I watch White Oleander over and over to hum She's got skin like a statue / White and pure / Carved by an artist whose hand is demure / Got a mind like a sabre / Razor-sharp and sure whenever Michelle Pfeiffer turns on her lazer-hate eyes.
3) Why are the violent characters always the disturbingly attractive ones? It's a nasty psychological game.

The ever-personal Lance Bass, on MySpace

Mon, 03 Apr 2006 07:53:18 GMT

Direct from ye famous blog:

"I have been asked this question many times in my life... so let me clear up something for you all. My name is James Lance Bass, but I have always gone by Lance. Dont know why. All the men in my family are James Irvin Bass.. and my parents decided to break the mold with me. (Thank God!)Everyone in my family goes by Jimmy or Jim, so to avoid confusion I guess they used Lance."

Dude. I can so see the shaaazaycafe tearing up this one with demonic relish.
Seriously. The South is scary, and it's not just Flannery O'Connor.

If there is ANYONE out there who can help me locate a comprehensive source for 2046 screencaps, I would be eternally grateful.

Why, you ask? Of course, I just want to document the beauty that is Takuya Kimura.

...

But seriously, folks, hand out the screencaps if you know where to go. This is a desperate call! Love and thank you.

Big Bird
You scored 75% Organization, 65% abstract, and 45% extroverted!

This test measured 3 variables.

First, this test measured how organized you are. Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean.

Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint. For the purposes of this test, concrete people are considered to gravitate more to mathematical and logical approaches, whereas abstract people are more the dreamers and artistic type.

Third, this test measured if you are more of an introvert or an extrovert. By definition, an introvert concentrates more on herself and an extrovert focuses more on others. In this test an introvert was somebody that either tends to spend more time alone or thinks more about herself.

You are very organized, more abstract, and both introverted and extroverted.

Here is why are you Big Bird.

You are both very organized. You almost always know where your belongings are and you prefer things neat. You may even enjoy cleaning and find it therapeutic. Big Bird is never sloppy and always under control... pretty good for a 6 year old bird living without a family.

You both are abstract thinkers. Big Bird is a dreamer who always wonders what the world is like. You definitely are not afraid to take chances in life. You only live once. You may notice others around you playing it safe, but you are more concerned with not compromising your desires, and getting everything you can out of life. This is a very romantic approach to life, but hopefully you are also grounded enough to get by.

You are both somewhat extroverted. Like Big Bird, you probably like to have some time to yourself, but you do appreciate spending time with your friends, and you aren't scared of social situations. Big Bird is always very comfortable around others, but he often prefers the quiet low-key presence that Snuffleupagus provides.

The other possible characters are
Oscar the Grouch
Bert
Snuffleupagus
Ernie
Elmo
Kermit the Frog
Grover
Cookie Monster
Guy Smiley
The Count

If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback! Also if you want to tell me your favorite Sesame Street character, I can total them up and post them here. Perhaps your choice will win!

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 94% on Organization

You scored higher than 82% on concrete-abstra

You scored higher than 16% on intro-extrovert

The evolution of Charlie Hunnam

Sat, 29 Oct 2005 07:42:11 GMT

Little Charlie started out as a founding cast member of Queer as Folk,

which is disturbing enough in itself.

He is pretty, annoying-amusing link in Nicholas Nickleby, with the most painful-sounding accent ever despite being UK-born and somewhat bred.

"I shall defend thy abused orphans from thee, Mr. Squeers!" and further saintly action.

A medal for anyone who can forget the icy Yankee bastard responsible for "taking Jude Law down" in at end of Cold Mountain.

Grown in! Hunnam is flawless as the very British, sexy demigod gang leader of football hooliganism who rolls his "innits" with all due glee.

I'm forever blowing bubbles!
Pretty bubbles in the air!
They fly so high!
They reach the sky
and like my dreams they fade and die!
FORTUNES ALWAYS HIDING, I'VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE
I'M FOREVER BLOWING BUBBLES! PRETTY BUBBLES IN THE AIR!
UNITED! UNITED! UNITED!
YOU CAN'T READ! YOU CAN'T WRITE!
YOU WEAR STOLEN NIKES!
YOU LIVE IN A CARAVAN!
YOU DIRTY MILLWANK PYKIES!
We are the West Ham!
Over land and sea!
We shall follow the West Ham on to victory!

I just did something intuitive... and stupid.
I bought two T-shirts from localbrand.net, which is a Singaporean brand, meaning they have to ship my purchases to Virginia when I could just stroll into a shop in Far East for them, I think. But that is the point! It is expensive rebellion against Football Fever!

Seriously lah, would you rather wear this

or this?

(This one in brown, though)

as garlands on my long walks.

The next day
I’d find them withered.

I liked change.
