Not So Awesome Things

* I forgot to wake up this morning and missed the whole day!
* This made me randomly grumpy.
* It also means I'm on anime-ban and fic-ban this week! But I am getting used to it! minion_master, I hope this isn't too hard on your heart!!



Awesome Things!!!

* The reason I slept so much was because I couldn't stop watching Nobuta until I'd finished, and that was AWESOMELY AWESOME!
* I think I figured out how to make chapter 2 of my novel stop sucking! (Thank you sandy_phoenix, I love you to little squishy pieces!) Mostly, I intend to take out the sucky bits.
* starfishdance is online and THIS MAKES ME VERY HAPPY, because we can have conversations like this
* Also, memes are awesome!

1. Pick fifteen of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie. Or from your own memory.

5. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.

Ant, you have IM? I'm getting online now...

message me sometime!! It's been forever since I've been on IM and like, nobody is ever on!

Actually-- I'm not going to be on ... but maybe sometime we will bump into eachother on IM.

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Yay, I have added you!

Which obviously you already know, as we are chatting XP

[seedyapartment.livejournal.com]

3. Princess Bride
6. Return of the King?
8. Velvet Goldmine?
9. Dirty Dancing
12. Zoolander
14. Spinal Tap

4. My friend here is trying to convince me that any independent contractors working on the uncompleted Death Star were innocent victims when it was destroyed by the Rebels. I have no idea what that's from, but it IS AWESOME.

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Yes, they are all right!! Obviously you are super-clever!!

#4 is from Clerks. It's possibly my favourite conversation from a movie ever!

[thethirdbar.livejournal.com]

is 4 from Clerks?

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

YES, IT IS!!

Also, you have not replied to my other comment about whether or not you want a drabble.

AND ALSO #2, HELLO, HOW ARE YOU????

[ellipsisblack.livejournal.com]

2. I think may be Superbad? It's definitely a movie I've seen recently.

3. is the Princess Bride, natch.

12. is Zoolander.

6, 7, and 8 I recognise, I just don't know from what. --;

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

LOL, yes!! I tried to make them hard quotes, but clearly I FAILED!!!

[dayadhvam-triad.livejournal.com]

LOL I give up on the meme, I don't watch many movies at all--I don't remember the last time I watched one in theaters. Maybe it was June of later year, dunno. However, I have DEFINITELY HEARD 3 SOMEWHERE, and now I'm wracking my brains. XD

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

They are mostly fairly old movies, because I couldn't think of anything!!

[sandy-phoenix.livejournal.com]

You did all the fixing on your own, dear. All I did was answer with useful comments like, "Oh, yeah. That sounds good." :P

All you really need is to keep going. The story is made of All Things Excellent. Just remember that editing in the later drafts is totally what all the Kewl Kidz are doing.

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

LOL, yes I am super clever and all that!! BUT I WAS TOTALLY STUCK AND DEPRESSED UNTIL I TALKED TO YOU!!! I don't know how much stuff I'll end up having to send to you and Laurie, but if I don't have very much, I'd like to maybe do some character work or something, if that's okay. I WILL LET YOU KNOW THOUGH!!

I think I just need to let myself relax and enjoy it again. For some reason I'm putting too much pressure on myself to be awesome.

[sandy-phoenix.livejournal.com]

Dearest, the awesome already exists. You have merely to get it down on paper and then weed out the less awesome stuff that tends to collect in piles around the awesome. No problem!

We can surely do some character work. It's fun and we'd be more than happy, as you know very well. *loveses*

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

At the moment I think the awesome is locked in a little room inside the back of my brain AND I'M NOT SURE WHERE I PUT THE KEYS!!!

[trainreckk.livejournal.com]

2. Superbad. SUPERBAD.

12. ZOOLANDER. "I TURNED LEFT~!"

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

YES!!!

Seriously, Zoolander is the funniest movie ever. Every time I watch it I find new things that amuse me. :D

[notmonica.livejournal.com]

3. PRINCESS BRIDE\
6. LOTR:ROTK
7. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure!
8. Velvet Goldmine
11. Star Wars (yoda, not sure which one though)

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

[senyum.livejournal.com]

OH. Shanghai Knights! Wrong Jackie Chan movie xD

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Yes!! Nice work!!

[darlingfox.livejournal.com]

5 is The Breakfast Club, right?

OMG, this time I might know something! *g*

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Yay!! I couldn't believe nobody had picked that one yet!! Though, I did used to know this guy who randomly went around quoting lines from The Breakfast Club in a Jack Nicholson voice, so maybe it isn't as obvious to other people!!!
