Lists...
Things to Do Before... Whatever:
1) Get an agent and get City Dwellers in print.
2) Get a lot of money and take a trip to Wales and visit __neongenesis so I can finally meet the woman who's been sending me Xmas cards and who got me into Laminated Lists. Sometime during the trip, we would have to watch Empire Records.
3) See the Seahawks play at home, with me actually at Qwest Field. And seated. And not there under illegal pretenses.
4) Lose my "carginity". Never did it in a car. I feel this makes my life somewhat lacking.
5) Either learn to play guitar or drums. Drums would probably better as I've got a better sense of rhythm than I do for fretwork.
6) Be part of a moment where at least 7 people in the same room or area spontaneously start singing something that is not holiday related.
7) Beat a game that has "god mode" cheats available without ever using said codes.
8) Write a romantic scene while "Hangar 18" by Megadeth plays in the background. Romantic. Not a sex scene.
9) Go six months without playing World of Warcraft. (Currently on my 2nd month)
10) Have a t-shirt made with Samantha Blackcrow's "I believe" monologue from American Gods.
11) Visit nokomis1339 at some point, see N.O., and watch either a Tim Burton or David Lynch movie with her and B.
12) Fall for a guy before I sleep with him.
13) Get inked.
14) Drive a car worth at least $70,000. Not necessarily own, just drive.
15) See the sunrise in the Cascades.
16) See the sunset in Hawaii.
17) Eat veal parmigiana in front of a non-cool Vegan.
18) Be asked for my autograph by someone who doesn't know me personally.
19) Flip off a celebrity that is within thirty feet of me.
20) Visit Scotland and take a walk in the rain.
The Laminated List (Iteration 6? 7?) (and as always, dedicated to __neongenesis
1) Ewan McGregor - Still reigning supreme for all the right reasons.
2) Jared Padalecki - Watched some eps of Supernatural and oh yeah... that's Keith. Got a great voice too.
3) Hugh Jackman - Primarily more from Kate and Leopold than from X-men. Also a strong candidate for Cale.
4) Aaron Stanford - Cos he's James. And while I'd do Keith in a heartbeat, it doesn't mean I wouldn't take a shot at James as well. Thing is, Keith is more likely to call me back the next day. ;) Still though, he was rather roguishly handsome as Pyro. If only he swung that way...
5) Chris Eccleston - Though I would make it perfectly clear that he is never to mention anything related to Dr. Who.
That's right. No Johnny Depp. I'm a little shocked, though he'd definitely be on the Honorable Mention list, and right at the top. Also, Ryan Reynolds is finally off the list.
Tagging: satyrwilder, ashenbard, kay_derwydd for the laminated list. If you never saw that episode of Friends, the list is the list of 5 celebrities that you can sleep with without penalty from your S.O. Post and justify. :)
How I Know If a Guy Has a Shot With Me:
1) If he can produce three quotes from Empire Records on demand.
2) If he can mention roleplaying games without cringing, but not go completely overboard and discuss every patently obscure game out there and every character he's ever played.
3) If he can casually watch anime, but not devote at least more than 8 hours per week to it.
4) If he can match wits with me, or at least give me a good sparring match.
5) If he can produce a Scottish accent that is either real or practiced that does not make him sound like he just left a ren faire.
6) If he can allow himself to like something, whether music, a movie, a tv show, whatever, despite all the snobbery that's floating around out there, and more importantly, not have a problem with me liking something that snobs tend to look down on.
7) If he does not consider Jack Black to be a "comic genius".
8) If he can watch a rom-com without ever using or using a variant of the word "trite" or "formula" while the movie is in progress.
9) If he can make it through the first week without doing or saying something that will remind me of my parents.
10) If he can make conversation about something in pop culture that will make me feel nostalgic rather than old.
