Hehe Trendsetter … Yeah Right. 🙂

i think i’m more of a
“do or do not. no try there is”
yoda-quote girl…
you know,
i’m indecisive,
so that’s what i hear yoda telling me
all the time…
See !!! LOL
That’s my favorite ever Yoda quote ! 🙂
I talk about my life as a movie … and POOF … it’s the Friday Five for that week. 🙂
Well, the Wednesday Whine for this week was about irritating technical support, which you also covered.
“Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future. “
meanwhile,
my despondancy friday
might have had something to do with the scene
i wrote thursday night…
i’ve touched it up this morning,
and i need to know if it’s crap or not…
so i’m going to e-mail it,
and i really need you to say something about it,
and you can be honest,
and i’m sorry that i get so high-maintenance
sometimes…
holy krap!
you’re there now…
seriously,
that scene really happened,
but not in the restroom…
Dan had just interviewed for a job he really
wanted, and he knew he wasn’t going to get it,
and, well, i said that and he laughed SO HARD…
and we’re still good friends…
Holy krap Stacy !! LOL Just what did you put in those green strawberry muffins you made the other day and how many did you eat ?? LOL Johnny is quite the versatile actor, I’m sure he’ll pull off both roles with panache. 🙂
hmmm…
okay, i’ll leave that scene out of my life story
i’m not saying this was a bad post,
but i’m thinking that it made less of an
impact on me because i routinely imagine
everyone’s life as a movie…
Ohhhh … wow !! I think those were my first two “cool” props ever for my any of my posts !! LOL Thanks Debbie and Sianna !! 🙂
OMG !! You’re right … I didn’t include any Manilow in Episode I !! Thanks for pointing that out !! I’ve got Episode II plotted out already, but he’ll definitely make the Episode III soundtrack !! Gawd I’m so weird !! Nice hearing from you again Debster !! 🙂
i still can’t find MY comments box,
so i’ll have to ask here–
am i out of my mind,
or is this a great scene?
johnny depp and julia roberts(playing a guy)
are at a bar and profoundly drunk;
depp is talking about how they’ll graduate soon,
and he’s scared to death about interviewing,
and maybe he won’t get a job in broadcasting,
maybe he’ll be selling sunglasses wholesale
by phone for the rest of his life…
they go (together) to the men’s room,
and they’re standing side by side
at the urinals
and julia roberts says,
“You’re taking a piss with a guy
who wants to have your baby.
How the hell could ANYTHING scare you?”
i notice johnny depp is playing
joe hairdy AND my guy-friend from college…
that’s almost scary…
This is the coolest post I’ve read in a while.
ok, no, but its just cool.
what….no manilow???
and the trailer, truly geekette cool
hehe
