Quirks and Flaws and Complexes, Oh My!
"Once you are tagged you MUST write an entry about 6 weird habits as well as odd information about you. State this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next six people to be tagged and list their names."
1. I have a tendency to carry a watch in with me to a move theater. Once the movie starts, I check my watch every fifteen minutes. The mark of a good screenplay is that the plot progresses with suspense and character development every fifteen minutes with heightening stakes. If it doesn't hit big plot points every fifteen minutes -- not exactly, but roughly -- then I either categorize the film as artistically innovative ("A Clockwork Orange") or total and utter crap ("The Cave").
2. Meals mut be eaten methodically and with stimulation. First, I eat meals in stages: For instance, I first eat the french fries, then the hamburger, and then the dessert. There is no mixing of the three. Second, meals require entertainment. if I am certain that friends will not show for lunch or dinner, I will make sure to download an episode of some TV show to watch will eating. I am so particular about this I make sure to download episodes of TV shows just in case friends don't show up for lunch.
3. I am very conscious of my addiction to caffeine. I am only regular about my meals so I get my three 22 oz. cups of Diet Coke a day. In fact, I put coffee lids onto my cups of Diet Coke so that I can imagine I am kid again with a sippy-cup filled with a mischievious amount of Coca-Cola.
4. I wear my socks inside out on purpose. Sean Connery said in "Finding Forrester" (and he swears by this in his real life as well) that he wears his socks inside-out becuase they are much more comfortable when the seams are on the outside and not cramping your toes. I agree and follow suit.
5. I define myself as a filmmaker. So when I don't get work done for something that matters to me (e.g. a filmmaking class, a screenplay) for more than a week, I have difficulty maintaining a positive self-image. I have to lock myself up in my room, procrastinate till I'm sick of it, and make some substantial progress on the project at hand or I will not like myself.
6. Unlike the rest of you, I love driving. If I have nothing to do, and some mindless chore needs getting done to drive (like drive for an hour to drop off movies at blockbuster), I'd love to do it. While driving, I get to let all of my thoughts, and especially my movie ideas, roam free with no worries about writing any of them down and analyzing them. I heard Spielberg said he gets all of his best ideas while driving. The sheer routine of driving, the control, the familiarity of the highways, the constant stimulation gives me peace and creative stimulation. In short, I love L.A.
