Fun stuff
14-Jun-03
I saw Bruce Almighty last night. Good movie, actually. Predictable as hell, but when you’ve got a splitting headache, well, laughter is the best cure.
Went to bed and finished reading “Hearts in Atlantis” last night. There are 4 stories in the book– I finished the one titled “Hearts in Atlantis.” Interesting stuff– the title work is not typical Stephen King; there’s no supernaturalism in it at all (unlike the first, which sort of sets up an expectation of it).
Speaking of which, I remember that old Stephen King movie Cat’s Eye while I’m reading this. Because I know this was already turned into a movie, and not having seen it, I don’t know if they put all four stories into it, or just the short story called “Hearts in Atlantis.” But if they did all four, that would be pretty cool, and a good match to Cat’s Eye, which I think has been hanging out there solo as a cinematic form for way too long.
Other great movies from my childhood include Wizards. God, I love that movie. I must get it on DVD. Soon.
I woke up at seven in the morning. On the dot. Groan. I cannot for the life of me wake up at seven during the week when my alarm goes off, yet I manage it on a Saturday, when I can sleep in? SIGH. At least I can go clean the kitchen if I feel like it.
There’s this meme where you say something about 20 people on your friends list, without saying who they are. I can’t tell if people are supposed to guess or not. I think, if you don’t know who they’re talking about, then it’s kind of pointless except as an exercise in telling something about the person who thinks #X is about them. For example, I read these things, invariably think for a moment that the line “you’re the smartest person I know” or similar is about me, realize what an enormous ego I must have, and then walk away, completely confuddled.
So, here are ten things about people who aren’t on my friends or friends-of list. If you’re reading this, it’s probably not about you. But it might be about someone you know.
I was going to do twenty, but ran out of steam after 10. There are a million accounts on LiveJournal, and I can only say 10 things.
1. You are a complete loser. I’m so glad you’re deleting your journal, but I wish you’d just go ahead and do it instead of whining about it.
2. You are very sexy physically– possibly one of the sexiest people I’ve met on LiveJournal.
3. You’re a mean person. Maybe when you grow up and learn how to treat people with respect, we can talk again.
4. You are one of the most self-important people I know.
5. You’re sweet and funny and nice, but my goodness you’re shy! Come out of your shell– you’re such a sweetheart!
6. I met you once in person and thought you were too insecure and self-consciously different to get to know.
7. I don’t know you at all, but you irk me when I run into you online.
8. You’re cool and say cool things in my friends’ journals. I should add you as a friend sometime.
9. You run the best LJ-related site off of LJ I’ve ever seen. But it’s still the most pathetic web site in the world. 
10. It’ll all turn out okay. I’m sure your next boyfriend will be better than your last one.
OK, I’m off to put on my shoes, set up the dishwasher to run, and head out for breakfast. Have a nice morning, everyone!
