distractions--I needz dem
I've often said I only have the attention span of about five seconds... So, while I'm working my behind off getting stuff done, I need distractions--lots of them. Now, see, I told myself I wasn't going to check my flist-didn't happen at least 4 times in six hours... Then I moved on to iTunes, bought like three CDs and a video... listening to Emmy Rossum as we speak. Now I'm posting again... *hangs head in shame*
Anyways, a meme yanked fromstargazercmc:
Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
- Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
- Post them here for everyone to guess.
- Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
- No Googling/using IMDb search functions!
So:
1. "Never, in the history of boredom, has anyone been as bored as I am, right now." (nearly half of ya'lls on my flist really ought to get this one!!)
Stargate: Continuum by cleothemuse
2. "He still digs humanity, but it bothers Him to see the shit that gets carried out in His name - wars, bigotry, televangelism. But especially the factioning of all the religions. He said humanity took a good idea and, like always, built a belief structure on it."
Dogma by cleothemuse
3. "I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate." "What's that make us?" "Absolutely nothing! Which is what you are about to become."
Spaceballs-aurora_novarum
4. "If I may, so long as the woman you love lives, and lives for you, all the privilege I claim for my own sex, and it is not a very enviable one - you need not covet it, is that of loving longest when all hope is gone. "
5. "Not only does he own a personalized matching set of crocodile-skin luggage, but his favorite TV program is Baywatch. So you see there's always someone sadder than you."
6. "You know, this machine gun stuff must run in Mafia families"
7. "Be seated! Ah... Many of you are wondering what's wrong with my pants, well they started running short on materials right before they got to the knees so don't give me any shit. Ah. I look out there on all you wonderful guys and I say to myself "What I wouldn't give to be 20 years younger... and a woman". You know, I've personally flown over 194 missions and I was shot down on every one. Come to think of it, I've never landed a plane in my life."
8. "You know the great thing, though, is that change can be so constant you don't even feel the difference until there is one. It can be so slow that you don't even notice that your life is better or worse, until it is. Or it can just blow you away, make you something different in an instant. It happened to me."
9. "Well Hey! You know what? I'm undercover too! Did you want to see my badge? Oopsie! I don't have one!"
10. "So everything that doesn't fit into some stupid idea of what you think God wants you just try to hide or fix or get rid of? It's just all too much to live up to. No one fits in one hundred percent of the time. Not even you."
11. "I love that word "relationship". Covers all manner of sins, doesn't it? I fear that this has become a bad relationship. A relationship based on the President taking exactly what he wants and casually ignoring all those things that really matter to, erm... Britain. We may be a small country but we're a great one, too. The country of Shakespeare, Churchill, the Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter. David Beckham's right foot. David Beckham's left foot, come to that. And a friend who bullies us is no longer a friend. And since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward, I will be prepared to be much stronger. And the President should be prepared for that."
12. "If you've ever seen the look on somebody's face the day they finally get a job, I've had some experience with this, they look like they could fly. And its not about the paycheck, it's about respect, it's about looking in the mirror and knowing that you've done something valuable with your day. And if one person could start to feel this way, and then another person, and then another person, soon all these other problems may not seem so impossible. You don't really know how much you can do until you, stand up and decide to try."

13. "Of course not, Mother. I'm only here for the food."
Ever After by cleothemuse
14. "I was wondering if I could purchase some heroin and then we could go out and do some hate crimes and stuff."
15. "At one point, I had even convinced myself that life was all one big zany sex comedy and you had switched keys with the lead to use his swinging pad to snare me."
This took a good hour of distraction... and now back to my previously scheduled work...
