Could I BE more bored?
Feb. 16th, 2004 02:18 pmAm extremely bored. What happened to all the memes that people used to do where we found out interesting/not-so-interesting things about our friends? Well, here's a slightly embarrassing one about
Celebrity Crushes
1. Who are your current celebrity crushes? (Define "celebrity" however you want.)
Hmm, not as many lately as there have been in the past. Let's see: Orlando Bloom, Colin Farrell, David Anders, Mark Hoppus, Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington, James Marsters, Christian Bale, Tom Felton, Jeremy Northam, Michael Rosenbaum ...
2. Who is your longest-lasting celebrity crush?
Christian Bale -- I've enjoyed him since my senior year of high school. :D
3. Who is the celebrity crush most likely to identify you as a geek?
Tom Felton, I guess. I don't know. Most celebrity crushes are pretty geeky. What? You know it's true.
4. Who is the weirdest celebrity you ever had a crush on?
Mark Hoppus is out of his mind. Does that count?
5. Who was your first celebrity crush? How old were you?
OMG who even knows. Maybe some guy on Kids Incorporated or something. Kirk Cameron, possibly?
6. Would you sleep with one of your crushes?
No, as I am a fully self-actualized human being, who ... yes, yes I probably would.
7. Who is the celebrity you are most embarrassed to admit you have a crush on?
Probably Tom Felton, given that he is 10 years younger than me and not a legal adult yet. *shamed* Still, Jason Isaacs called him "annoyingly handsome," so surely agreeing w/ Jason wouldn't be out of line? And luckily, this is wavering. PoA might bring it back, though.
Alias: After Six
- I liked it, although I don't know WTF the networks are doing w/ their "let's give everything away in the promos" deal. Am going to have to avoid them as much as I can (the worst is w/ Friends), because I had already guessed re: Sloane telling what's-her-face that he thinks Sydney's his daughter. If they're going to give that away, he might as well have just said it in this ep. Honestly. Have many thoughts about the daughter thing, but I'll save it for when we know more.
- GET OVER VAUGHN ALREADY, SYD. Gawd, this is so frustrating, because Vaughn has completely lost me on every conceivable level. I can't stand that she's still mooning over him, when he doesn't deserve her in the least. At least she finally said that she wouldn't be the other woman ... but that was a declaration a little late in coming.
- Sark/Lauren didn't sicken me as much as I thought it would. Mostly because I like Lauren better now, even though I think she's a skanky ho. Still, the dressing room scene at the beginning was really hot. Where they lost me was how much Sark was being led around by his dick. I am hoping like hell that he expected her to betray him all along, and that it's all part of some master scheme he's got going. I mean, from everything we've seen of him so far, he's just smarter than that. It'll be really disappointing if that's not the case.
- The thing I didn't like most about Sark/Lauren was how obvious and convenient it was. Both for them, and for Syd/Vaughn when they find out about Lauren's duplicity. Because if she's a bad guy, it'll be so easy for S/V to fall into their same pattern, and I'm just not feeling it. Vaughn needs to PAY.
- Still love the Weiss.
- Really enjoyed the hasty marriage between Marshall and Carrie. It wasn't given undue importance, it didn't take up a lot of time, and it made for a few entertaining moments. Plus Weiss got to marry them a la Joey. Church of Mammals, indeed.
- Was it really necessary for them to fly the psychiatrist out to Zurich? Don't they have psychiatrists there? Fine, say it's required to be a CIA psychiatrist, and one doesn't happen to be in Zurich. Why does it have to be her, the same one who treated/treats Syd and Jack?
- Could Quentin have been more obsessed with Sark's hair?
I am not yet finished w/ my A&D reading for this week, but it's likely I'll finish it tonight. I've been reading a lot of DiA and watching movies. Ooh. Speaking of:
1) American Splendor - Eh. Didn't much like it. I just found it boring.
2) Thirteen - Good, but depressing. Found most of the characters unlikable. However, was v., v. impressed w/ Evan Rachel Wood.
3) Spirited Away - Really liked it!! However, how old was that girl supposed to be???
4) Farscape - Am extremely underimpressed w/ it so far. I'm just not a space creatures type gal. I don't think I'll be wanting to watch more than what I've seen.
Jade, Rob -- OMG look what I dug out of the archives!!! Remember that Jerry Springer Madlibs that we did once upon a time, which I improved upon a little bit? It's the best/worst Mary Sue ever.
Jerry Springer Mad Libs
I have to say ... I am not displeased with the results. <g> I got to be all slutty! My weapons may not be as good as Jade's, but I didn't secretly marry Brandon.
Audience: Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
Jerry: Tonight on the Jerry Springer Show we have a particularly interesting episode! Sarea is here to finally confess something to a long-time friend of hers, Jade. So everyone please put your hands together for Sarea!
Audience: (polite applause)
Jerry: Okay, now Sarea -- you're here to talk about someone, aren't you?
You: Yes.
Jerry: And what is this other person's name?
You: Draco.
Audience: (SQUEALS)
Jerry: Okay, okay, well Draco is actually here tonight...
Audience: (SQUEALS)
Jerry: ...but first, we have a surprise for you, Sarea, because as it happens, there is someone else here to see YOU! So let's bring out...Robbie!
You: WTF Juliet?!?!
Out of nowhere you pull out a knife. Robbie reaches for the lamp. Out of the shadows, Legolas appears.
Legolas: Wait, everybody, wait!
You and Robbie: No way, I'm killing this bitch once and for all.
Jerry: Everybody, let's just calm down for a moment here. First, tell us why you're here, Robbie.
Robbie: Because I saw Sarea and Legolas making out at Malfoy Manor!
You: (GASP in outrage)
Audience: (GOES INSANE)
Legolas: That's a lie! I was home watching The X-Files!
Jerry: (raises his hands) Hold on, hold on, I'm missing the problem here. What exactly IS the problem, Robbie?
You: She's a liar!!!
Robbie: I've recently been taking part in a sexual relationship with Jade, who recently became engaged to Legolas.
Audience: (HOLLERS, SCREAMS, AND WHOOPS IN AN ORCHESTRA OF ORGASMIC EXCITEMENT)
Jerry: Okay, okay. Well, why don't we bring Jade out here, because Sarea has something that she needs to tell her, anyway, about -- Draco! Yes, that's right!
Jade: (enters onto stage and saunters over towards you) What's the deal? I saw you outside getting it on with Draco! You know I'm how I feel about Draco!
You: What the hell are you talking about, you think he's a slimy, obnoxious ferret.
Jade: That was a front to hide how I really felt!!!
Legolas: (screams) What? Why the hell did you ask me to marry you if you're in love with Draco?!
You: Oops.
Jade: Because I knew that I could never have Draco! But Sarea promised me that they'd never hook up out of respect for my feelings!!! BITCH!!!
You: Oh yeah, I did promise that, didn't I? Where were we, again?
Legolas: What about respect for MY feelings?!
Jade: Cheesecake Factory. Remember, that was when the guy at the next table thew up into his soup bowl?
You: Oh, right, right.
Robbie suddenly walks across the stage and embraces Jade, who struggles.
Robbie: Don't worry, baby, you don't need any of them now that you have me.
Audience: (SQUEALS)
Legolas: Ohmygod!! Are you SICK?!
You: I always knew the "we're just friends" thing was fake!!!!!!
Legolas runs across the room and wraps his arms around you tightly.
Legolas: Sarea, take me away from all of this!
You: Oh. Well, see...that's the thing. Er, I'm...well, I'm married.
Audience: (DOES ITS BIT)
Legolas: Married?!
You nod.
Legolas: Who the hell are you married to?! When...when did this happen??? I don't understand!
You: The other day. In Vegas. I'm married to Draco.
Jade: (screaming) WHAT!!! (lunges toward Sarea, but Steve the bodyguard intercepts her)
Jerry: (grinning widely, makes an enquiry) So...did you have a nice wedding night?
You: None of your--
Draco: (stepping out onto center stage) Well, we had sex 5 times if that's what you mean.
Audience: (SQUEALS)
You: You idiot!! HELLO?! PRIVACY?!!
Draco: What, and miss out on the opportunity to look like a big stud on national TV?
You: (scoffs) Big stud, whatever. I'll have you know that Jade and Brandon did it THIRTEEN TIMES.
Jade: Get away from that bitch, Draco! I love you best! I LOVE YOU BEST!!!!!
Jerry: Okay, so let me get this all straight. Sarea is married to Draco, who Jade has secretly been in love with for years and years. Then Jade got engaged to Legolas, who was recently spotted kissing Sarea at Malfoy Manor. Now on top of this, Robbie has just admitted to being in a sexual relationship with Jade.
Draco: That's right, Jerry. Wait a minute ... you kissed Legolas AT MY HOUSE?!
Legolas: (screams) I WAS WATCHING THE X-FILES!!!!!
You: ...while kissing me.
Legolas: Well, yes.
You: It was just a goodbye kiss.
Draco: I suppose I can accept that. But I'll feel better if I do -- (marches over to Jade) -- THIS. (kisses Jade)
Audience: (SQUEALING REACHES UNBEARABLE VOLUME)
Steve the bodyguard is now holding you back.
You: (screaming) Get off of him, you heinous bitch!! I'm going to kick your ass!! You're mine, bitch! YOUR ASS IS MINE! I'm gonna mess you up! There won't be anything left of your #!$*@@&@ ass!! YOU ARE DEAD! Come over here and take it like the $&!@ you are!
You are removed from the set, kicking and screaming.
Jerry: (looking sternly into the camera) It is times like these that one has to wonder whether or not these people are aware that they are quite clinically insane. Perhaps we should be spending more on psychiatric health funds in this country; perhaps we should just ban Vegas to cut down on impulse marriages. Perhaps I should get a new job. Thanks for watching, folks -- it's been great, but for now...it's goodnight.
Cue cheesy background music and fade to black.

Date: 2004-02-17 05:38 am (UTC)I used to be obsessed with Alias until this season when my parents wouldn't let me watch it anymore. I saw a snip-it of it the other day though and saw Lauren and Sark and I was like wtf? But with that show you never know what's going to happen. I do miss it though. Hey the Sydney-daughter-of-Sloane-thing is funny. I always had a suspicion that this would end up like that. Lol! Well hope you have cured you boredness somehow.

Re:
Date: 2004-02-17 11:34 pm (UTC)I can't believe everyone you know likes Tom better!! :o Everyone I know is a Mark devotee. Though they're not as huge blink fans as I am, and maybe they're just saying that because they're scared of me. Hmmm. Dude, I LOVE those glasses! Like in the video for "The Rock Show"? And Mark's bg vocals on "I Miss You" make me so happy to be a girl. :D Did you know that he also does background vocals for Simple Plan's "I'd Do Anything"? Yum!
Hey, Jade and I have a question for you -- what do you call the cubicles where sports players store their clothing/equipment? We call them "lockers" here, and "locker rooms," but I think in the UK these are called "changing rooms"? What are "lockers" called? Thanks. <g>
Re:
Date: 2004-02-18 12:08 am (UTC)Yup, changing rooms is right. And now of course I want to know what you two have planned for the changing rooms...*raises eyebrow*
