Birthdays + LJ Comment Day

[sarea]

Happy birthday wishes to calliope14 and chrismiss!

Today is also, apparently,

LJ Comment Day
When: September 7th, 2004 ( Why September 7th? )
Where: On your own LJ, and on your Flist
What: Pledge to 1) Post something interesting and commentable on your own journal that day and 2) Make sure that you leave at least 20 comments on your Flist. The ULTIMATE goal would be to comment to everything that posts, but that might not be possible.
How: Post these instructions on your own LJ and spread the word to friends that you would like to hear from/want to let know how much you enjoy what they have to say. If you'd like to link to the art, you may put it on your own webspace, or direct link to http://ww2.imagewiz.net/images/hllalah/119433_untitled.JPG. Then, when September 7th rolls around, set a half-hour or so aside to reply to what some of your pals have to say!

My tally: 20, baybeee!!!!!

Guess what was waiting for me at the post office today? Alias S3 and Angel S4! I am very pleased, Overstock.com.

I also got: Billy Elliot, one of the best movies evar, and 13 Going on 30. I loved it the first time, and the second time it was still cute. It's Jennifer Garner who really sells it. I enjoyed the "So I Was a Teenage Geek" feature -- OMG JG was such a geek, as was the gal who played grown-up Tom-Tom. How did these women get it in their heads to pursue a career in Hollywood?? But their past geekiness makes me glad for their current success. Rock on, geek chicks. Now JG is one of the coolest heroines ever. :D

If you could be the heroine from any movie, who would you be and why?

Annie from "Sleepless in Seattle." She's a baseball fan, she has a great job and a good version of Rosie O'Donnell for a best friend, and she gets to live with and almost marry Bill Pullman before walking off into the sunset with Tom Hanks and his adorable son. *g*

Angel! What ep are you planning to watch first? I think I'm going to start with Deep Down. (Not so much because it's in order, more just omgwesleyclosetjustineconnoromg)

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

I'm totally anal and watch everything in order. It's only The X-Files that I don't, because I know those episodes like the back of my hand. But imho "Deep Down" was one of the best episodes of the season. Thanksgiving dinner! Ahhh! :((

Hrm....does it have to be a movie that was actually made? If not:

I would be the heroine I've thought up in my own head called "Kentucky" about some Irish settlers who come across the Appalachain mountains to stake a claim. The dreamer Irish husband would be Sean Bean, and his wife who just wants to stay put would be me ("I'll build you a castle kitty, with a pretty stone tower and-" "I don't want a castle. I want a little house, and a yard.. (she's still angsting about being dragged off Ireland by her father)" "Fine, I'll build you a gate!"). The possibly-a-crook french guy who leads their little expedition across the mountains would be George Clooney, who was lusty for me, and fought with my husband. Our littlest kid would wander off into the woods, but Sean would make me continue on, which would cause great strain between us, wherein I would begin a dangerous flirtation with George. Then, during an Indian raid, Sean dies! Oh, no! and I have to prostitute myself to George to be taken the rest of the way to Kentucky, where we all hole up with Daniel Boone at Ft. Boonesboro for the last big siege (which I can't be bothered to look up details about right now, but hell its a movie so I'll change it all to historical innacuracy), and (when confronting the political-correctness gorilla of whether it was okay to kill the Indians) that the land isn't yours because you're willing to die for it, its yours because you're willing to kill... then, at the end, we'd (me and my surviving children) go to our little patent, which is nothing more than a nondescript patch of woods and put our little stake in the ground (its the gate post, see) and be all cute and ruggedly pioneering :D And then the music would swell and the scene would all melt into how it is today (a la "How the West Was Won"). Er...yeah. I've thought about this WAY too much.

If it had to be a real film, then...I'd be Eowyn in LOTR

I would totally be Bridget Jones in BJD. She gets to fool around with Hugh Grant, be adorably plump (though we all know Renee is just NORMAL looking finally), have fabulous friends, manage to get herself a hot new career, and in the end, Mark Darcy loves her, just as she is.

GOOD LUCK CRAZY GIRL!

If you could be the heroine from any movie, who would you be and why?

Toughie...Jet Girl from Tank Girl. She has it rough at the start but she finds her power by the end. Or maybe Angelina Jolie's character from Hackers.

I would want to be Jasmine from "Aladdin" Because she's a princess, she kicks arse, and gets the guy! *raises hand and hangs head* I too am a geek.

Thank you for the birthdaywishes and the drabble <333333333

Of course I can't pick just one, but I'd be fine with being Princess Leia, or Lara Croft, or Jan Morrow from Pillow Talk.

Go Billay!

I was thinking of you last night - not like that, you perv! Sheesh. Anyway, I saw commercials for Smallville (which I've never seen) and was intrigued. Aren't you a fan of that show? It looked so good, but I'm a day late and a dollar short, again. *sigh*

Anyway, I'd be Danielle De Barbarac in "Ever After." She's strong, independent and marries the handsome prince while getting back at her ebil family members. Sounds pleasant to me. :D

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

I was a fan of Smallville until just this last year. Its first season was really great, and it started to get iffy from there. My primary interest lies in Lex/Lana, and while it's starting to look promising on that front, it's not enough (yet) to make me go back. I'm glad to hear it looks intriguing though ... they may win me over yet.

Seriously? The best thing about the show is Michael Rosenbaum/Lex.

'Billy Elliot' truly was a great film! I loved the kid who liked to dress like a girl... CLASSIC!!! :-)

Heehee... and good news about getting your TV show DVDs. Those seriously are the best! I still want to get Gilmore Girls season 1 along with all the Star Trek: TNG and M*A*S*H. I also can't wait until they release the remaining Northern Exposure and Roswell DVDs... oh what a blast that will be! I swear, I can never get sick of those shows!

*hugs*

I would play Danielle from "Ever After" so I could wear pretty dresses and snog Dougray Scott. Either that or Anna from "Van Helsing" so I could kick ass and snog Hugh Jackman. Decisions, decisions!

[hannah-kim.livejournal.com]

I was close to saying I would be Julia from The Wedding Planner but then I remembered! Allie from The Notebook. Carnival! Noah! Pretty Shoes! Big White House! Yeah!

[hannah-kim.livejournal.com]

OMG, I just realised I said Planner instead of Singer! I swear I'm dyslexic or something.
