Wow, you guys... I may be an attention whore, but every time I get this sort of response to something I said just to vent, I'm floored. Metablogged and metaquoted? Not to mention all the comments, and the interesting discussion about martial arts that I can't participate in due to lack of knowledge, and the three new people who friended me.
Wow.
In other news, I registered on Swedish site Sylvia for girls who like girls today. Got a proposition from a middle-aged couple within five minutes, so maybe it's just as well I didn't use "KattaHj" as a username. Not that I mind middle-aged couples. I might date a middle-aged couple some day. Just probably not the kind of couple who'd suggest meeting a complete stranger.
And in yet other news, here are the results for that TV quotes quiz.
hibernate was the only one to guess, so she wins. (Although
rhiannonjk told me through AIM that she didn't know any of the other quotes.) I don't know if the rest of you were cowardly or just uninterested.
In any case, the quotes and shows are fun enough for another look, so do peek behind the cut tag.
"One thing I've always wondered about you, Graham: when you wake up in the morning, how do you tell? -- Well, which one is Graham?"
"He's at the hospital."
"What are the visiting hours?"
-- Press Gang, Lynda Day. It was part of a larger scene in which Spike tried to convince Frazz that "Attila the Skirt" was actually a loveable person. Obviously, Frazz is right and Spike is just whipped.
"Vegetarianism for me is about saying 'yes' to things, even meat."
-- Coupling, Jane. She also declared herself a "bi-vegetarian". I love this girl.
"Where are you going?"
"I was following you."
"I was following you."
"All right. Don't tell anyone this happened. Okay?"
-- West Wing, Sam and Josh during one of those walking through corridors and talking scenes.
"Sapere Aude: have the courage to make use of your own intellect without anyone to guide you."
-- Glappet, said many times by different people, although I think Ella was the one to embrace it the most.
"Nothing's ever simple anymore. I'm constantly trying to work it out. Who to love or hate. Who to trust. It's just, like, the more I know, the more confused I get."
"I believe that's called growing up."
"I'd like to stop then, okay?"
-- Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy and Giles trying to figure out her old friend Ford who had turned villain in an attempt to prevent his upcoming death.
"God in heaven help us!"
"Divine intervention is unlikely."
-- Star Trek: Voyager, a 20th (21st?) century hick and the Doctor. The hick had tried to shoot the Doctor and found the bullets going right through him.
"Right, I forget. Bedrooms are private. It's just mine with all the cameras."
-- Ally McBeal, Richard Fish. Richard asks Ally if he can talk to her in private and she reminds him that they are in private. I've forgotten what the conversation was about, so if anyone wants to remind me I'll be very happy - it's bound to be good since it's Richard.
"If I were a man you'd do it!"
"Yes, if you were a man and you had an ovarian cyst I'd definitely remove it."
-- Chicago Hope, Kate and Billy. Kate freaks out when it turns out she has a cyst - she's afraid NASA won't let her be a doc-in-space if she's not perfect on the physical.
"This life has been a test. If it had been an actual life, you would have received actual instructions on where to go and what to do."
-- My So-Called Life, Angela. One of those random lines of teenage philosophy that made the show what it was.
"What makes a girl feel special?"
"Wearing thong underwear backwards."
-- Dharma & Greg, Dharma and Jane. What is it about girls called Jane and weird lines? I've forgotten what the scene was, but the line I've put on my hard disc.
"My mother agreed with me tonight."
"I'm so sorry."
-- Gilmore Girls, Lorelai and Rory. What Lorelai and her mother agreed on was that Rory should not be allowed to date Jess. Lorelai was so spooked about agreeing with her mother that she backed off on the issue.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Stop kidding around, you know damn well who I am."
"Who the hell am I?"
-- Due South, Fraser and Ray. Fraser has just developed amnesia and is acting in an uncharacteristic manner - he even says "hell" twice.
