above all things, must read ASAP.
Note #3: read 'Touched' shooting script Note that is is very similar to what what aired, and decidedly shippy.

Seven things you think you do pretty well
draw, write, read, make cookies, program the VCR, play Dr. Mario (my original Nintendo still works!), argue/debate
Six things you can't do at all
hand-flips, hit on people, juggle, cry on demand, sing
Five songs you heard recently
"don't dream it's over" six pence none the richer
"seven nation army" the white stripes
some 80s thing--"every time I see you fallling I get down on my knees and pray"
"Gangsta's Paradise" coolio
"hardr to breathe" maroon 5
Four favorite/least favorite things about spring/summer
tv reruns, inability to keep up with friends, 100+ *F days, waiting
Three celebrities people you'd consider switching sexual preferences for
Halle Barry, Halle Barry, Halle Barry
Two things you want to achieve before the end of this year
get a job outside of being a student, go to another concert
One famous person you'd like to be for a day
I like
buffyx's answer: "Alyson Hannigan (hanging out with James on the set, snuggling up with Alexis at night—as long as it was season six and not this year, because otherwise Kennedy sex scenes, eww)"

Who Needs A Hug? by ozfan

May. 12th, 2003 02:55 pmis this what a real child would look like with anime eyeballs? Not so cute.
Did you know most of that movie was made by asian artists? You can look at the style and tell. Or, you know, you could look at the credits, too. If you wanted to be all serious about it.
Thinking of anime, apparently there's this whole new 3-episode set of OAVs (Original Anime Video-- meaning straight to video without tv showings, but higher quality) for Fushigi Yuugi ("The Mysterious Play") out right now, that I didn't even know about. I'm torn. On the one hand, I love FY and want as much as I can get. On the other hand, I somehow know that I will never get to see Miaka choose Tasuki, which is all I've really come to want from the show anyway. Spuffy people will understand my frustration here. Unforunately, Yuu Watase (creator) never had seven seasons by which to turn the entire story around and let the dirty-mouthed but devoted scoundrel get the girl. She walked off with the "nice guy." Who was way too perfect and mature for her anyway. Grrrr.
Also, there's the fact that the last OAV set sucked like dead rotten eggs.
But I still love that show. It was a show that, if you look at the series from episode 1 to episode 52, was really quite amazing. And I guess I do really want it. Hell, I should. Anything with more Tasuki is a good thing.

May. 12th, 2003 05:07 pmI just applied for a job at Target. I had to use the comp there. They had some odd questions:
Q: Have you ever intentionally hurt another person's feelings?
Me: Um, yes. But I'm human. What's your excuse?
A: Yes.
Q: Do you think there should be more cops to take care of the extreme crime rate?
Me: San Jose has an extreme crime rate? Did I move to Oakland an everyone just forgot to mention it? No. No more cops, need more schools.
A: No.
Q: Have you ever gone a whole day feeling uneasy for no reason?
Me: Well it's not like I make a hobby of it. But sometimes, sure. What does this have to do with applying?
A: Yes.
