Semi-Intelligent Thoughts

Because I'm Bored...

Yes, I'm Resorting to Memes

I have about 10 pages of philosophy essays and 30-40 pages of a script to write, as well as hundreds of pages of constitutional law to study, so...don't expect a lot of blogging this week.

However, I figured I'd post this meme I've been seeing in various places lately. The responses (if anyone responds) should be interesting...

"Remember the time we..."

Please post a comment with a completely fictional memory of you and me. It can be anything you want– good or bad, silly or stupid, believable or not – but it has to be fake.

Let's see what all you loyal minions come up with...

Weekend Meme

Seriously, only one comment on the script? I'm going to stop posting my work if more people don't pay attention to it...

Anyway, I'm heading to Pittsburgh soon for another craptacular SU football game, but I thought that in addition to the aforementioned script, I'd respond to a meme that Army NCO Guy tagged me with a couple weeks ago. This should be interesting...

Seven things I want to do before I die:

1. Graduate from college (I know it seems like a given, but this semester is making me wonder...).
2. Get a full band together and put on some awesome rock concerts.
3. Learn to play guitar.
4. Make a movie so good that people call it "The Citizen Kane of the 21st Century."
5. Find true love...or at least get a friggin' girlfriend.
6. Start a revolution.
7. Figure out why people are so stupid.

Seven things I can do:

1. Drum like a mofo.
2. Write better than anyone I've ever known.
3. Quote a couple episodes of Aqua Teen Hunger Force verbatim from beginning to end.
4. Eat an entire stack of Saltines in one sitting.
5. Identify, understand, and appreciate satire.
6. Use Final Cut Pro.
7. Find at least one spelling/grammatical/typographical error in any work that contains them, no matter how obscure or insignificant.

Seven things I cannot do:

1. Go to sleep before 1:00 AM.
2. Complicated mental math.
3. Sing, apparently.
4. Maintain eye contact for more than a second.
5. Wear blue jeans, or anything else made of denim.
6. Grow a full beard.
7. Drink coffee (can't even stand the smell of the stuff).

Seven things I say a lot:

1. Crap.
2. Freakin'/Frickin'/Friggin'.
3. Cool.
4. Thanks.
5. Hey/What's up?
6. That's good to know.
7. Sweet.

...Yes, I am indeed a man of few spoken words.

Seven things I find attractive in a female:

Now we're delving into unexplored blog territory. This should be...well, either fun or disturbing. Or both.

I notice that the list doesn't specify whether the things should be physical or personality-related, so I'll divide between the two.

Physical:
1. Long, straight hair; Preferably brown, but any color is attractive if done right.
2. Shorter than 5'7".
3. I'm not sure how to put this...uh...physical proportion is very important to me. Note to women everywhere: Gigantic boobies on a petite frame are freakish, not attractive. Thank you.
4. Cute face. Much like obscenity in the eyes of the law, this is one of those "I'll know it when I see it" things, but it is a huge factor in what I find attractive. Huge.

Personality:
5. Shy, but not to the point of being totally antisocial (yeah, I'm a hypocrite. You wanna fight about it?).
6. INTELLIGENT (gee, do you think this is important?)
7. Honest, even if that means saying something offensive.

...And the above list, loyal minions, is the reason I'm going to die alone.

Anyway...

Seven celebrity crushes:

No. Just no. Honestly, a few months ago, I would've said Katie Holmes, but since Tom Cruise has tainted her forever...no.

Seven people I feel like bugging:

I could name lots of people I feel like bugging...but unfortunately, none of them have blogs, so that's the end of this meme.

And now, I'm off to stay in a hotel that's about 20 minutes from my house. Kinda ridiculous when you think about it...

Movie Meme

I've been tagged by Army NCO Guy, so I've gotta answer a bunch of questions. I'm warning you, though: for a guy who wants to be a screenwriter, I keep surprisingly bad track of things like this. Anyway, let's get started:

1) Total number of films I own on DVD/video: I personally own about 25 or 30, but that's mainly because I still live with my parents for a few months a year, and they have a lot more.

2) The last film I bought: No friggin' idea.

3) The last film I watched: I was bored about a week ago, so I watched The Fellowship of the Ring and Star Wars Episode IV back-to-back. Might as well include 'em both.

4) Five films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me: I'm going to assume that trilogies/series count as one film here...

1. Gettysburg
2. Jurassic Park 1 and 2 (I didn't like 3)
3. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
4. Both Wayne's World movies
5. Any Austin Powers movie

5) Tag 5 people and have them put this in their journal/blog: This is going to be hard. My readership has kind of declined in the last few months, and two of them have done this already, but I think I can pick out five people who at least stop by occasionally...

1. Tuning Spork
2. Crispy23
3. Jim
4. Tommy
5. MeeCiteeWurkor

All right, we'll see how this goes. I'm not even sure all these people still read SIT. I've been in a frickin' rut.
