entry title goes here! ooh... title-y
It's a long one. Hang in there.
Ouch! *rubs arm where she is poked by Sway* I couldn't think of 10 guys for both tv and film so I had to combine the two to create an uber list (no pun intended) of shag-worthy guys (I may have snuck a shag-worthy book-guy in there too :D).. I also don't have awesome visual aids like Sway. Instead, I have wordy descriptions. Sucks to be you eh? ;) But then again, I don't think I'll ever understand why you folks read my blog.
Who: Elijah Wood
Began During: LotR
Thoughts: Like I really need to explain myself for this one.
2) Who: Cillian Murphy
Began During: Batman Begins
Thoughts It's only after watching BB second time 'round that I thought, "Whoa, this guy is really hot. The first time, I had to use all my brain cells to keep up with the plot :bag:. Watching Trying to stay awake during Girl With A Pearl Earring solidified his shag-ability. Why is he not in more North American movies?! If he was the male lead in a rom-com... *implodes from happiness*. I doubt he ever would, so I just pretend that Red Eye is one. I mean, the film is basically him + Rachel + sexual tension = first 45 minutes, so it's not a huge stretch. The fact that he's a musician and Irish and he's been married to one woman for a long time increases his shag-meter from 9 to 47.
3) Who: Colin Firth
Began During: Bridget Jones' Diary
Thoughts As Bridget says when she's thinking about shag-a-delic men: "Mmmmmm". Remember in the second movie when Colin was in Bridget's bed and naked as the day he was born except for a section of strategically place blanket? Mmmmmm. Well I always just assume he's naked under the blanket because there will be hell to pay if he isn't. Anyway, Colin looks fan-shaging-tastic in anything he wears but so bloody good in suits I can't look at an image of him in one without having my eyes glaze over. Sigh.
4) Who: Cary Elwes
Began During: Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Thoughts I first watched the movie when I really young and could only appreciation on its comedic level. Good thing for puberty eh? Hahaha. Last year, Chinese_dreamer gave me the movie for my birthday (rock and roll) and I could appreciate the film on so many more levels. Every time he goes, "oh my darling" to Maid Marian I get shivers. Then a few weekends later, The Princess Bride come on tv. Ooooh yeah. One of my fav Cary moments is when he's telling Humperdinck they'll fight to the pain:
Prince Humperdinck: I think you're bluffing.
Westley: It's possible, pig, I might be bluffing. It's conceivable, you miserable, vomitous mass, that I'm only lying here because I lack the strength to stand. But, then again... perhaps I have the strength after all. *slowly gets up and points his sword at Humperdinck* Drop... your... sword!
And that "as you wish" thing is okay.. I suppose.. Can't compare to this scene though. Hehe. ;)
5) Who: Shawn Ashmore
Began During: X-Men 3: The Last Stand
Thoughts I thought he was cute during X1 but in a sort of "Gee willikers, we can't more guys be like him? I do sure hope that he and Rouge have a jolly good relationship". X2 I didn't even really notice him. But by X3, it was "get off of him bitch!" Hahaha!! Okay, not really. But I was definitely wishing I could pounce on him one day (a pounce-shag?). *leaves for a while to go look from one SA pics*
Alright, back with a quote and a bunch of anger.
"A bottle of water, two Advils, and a banana before bed. Responsible drinking includes planning ahead with the banana." - Shawn on how to deal with hangovers
I also found out that he's dating michelle trachtenberg. I'm sure she's a very nice person but ARGH! Don't want to shag him anymore. Feel... unclean. Since they're my age, I feel like I'm in some OC-like drama. Ulgh. So unclean. I do wish them happiness and longevity though. Yes, I take my fandoms way too seriously. Moving on.
6) Who: Mark Hildreth
Began During: Gundam Wing (Voice)
Thoughts I first knew him as a voice actor but thank the valar for the internet. Plug Plug Plug Mark-Hildreth.com Plug Plug Plug. He hasn't been in anything that's gotten tons of airtime on the big or small screen which a shame because he's so talented it makes me want to fly to Vancouver to see him on stage. Unfortunately I have to settle for just his television appearances and doubly unfortunate he's currently appearing on this horrible musketeer show that just reeks of cancellation. Sigh, someone this shag-tastic should be doing much greater things. Heaven knows half of hollywood have based their careers on such on their shag-factor! Oh, Mark is also an awesome musician (I'm listening to his songs right now). So he can pretty much do everything. I expect him to come out with a cure for cancer within the year.
7) Who: Michael "Galahad the Chaste" Palin
Began During: Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Thoughts Okay so I cheated with this one. I would only shag Michael-Palin-as-Galahad, (though Michael himself is a very handsome man). It's so sad that I want to ravish him like those girls at Castle Anthrax scene. I love when he's begging the girls to see the grail, "Torment me no longer. I have seen the Grail!", ooh now that's acting - can't you just feel the angst. Don't think I'd want him to tie me down and spank me though... hehehe. That's all CA's domain. I guess I would corrupt him in my own special little way.
8) Who: Paul Gross
Began During: Slings and Arrows
Thoughts Paul is great multi-talented Canadian, who, once again, doesn't get the recognition he deserves, so that's probably why some of you have no idea who I'm talking about. He's cute, funny, charming, and slightly crazy. Perfect. Sure he basically caused "Men with Brooms" into being (he was the director, one of the writers, composers, and acted in it), a movie that even curling fans could tell was a bad idea, but even in that he was awesome.
"I wanted to throttle a swan. It seemed sensible at the time" - Geoffrey (Paul), Slings and Arrows
9) Who: Matthew Gray Gubler
Began During: Criminal Minds
Thoughts He actually makes this boring and repetitive show worth watching. *scuffs feet nervously* I have a thing for tall skinny nerds. Of course I may just like him for his cute bag. Dang it, I need a messenger bag! Anyway, his website is so funny, and definitely worth a peak. Nerds are so teh funny.
10) Who: Dara
Began During: The Summer King by O.R. Melling
Thoughts Yes, he's fictional but I would still shag him. I don't want to say anymore because I'll just get all giggly and embarrass myself. Though I think that that ship has already sailed.
Yes!! The evil midterm project is over! And my trial balance and balance sheet balanced! Take that you empty headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! I don't care if the amounts are wrong, I'm just so happy that they balanced. I remember last year when I did this, my totals were off by like $36,000 and that was after I worked for hour to "tweak" my numbers.
When I got to tutorial to hand it in, the tutor was talking to a girl who was on the verge of tears because she was so fustrated with the project. Ooh boy, it was like looking in a mirror (well, a mirror that shows the past instead of the present). I was standing by when she turns to me and asks if I'm going to be long. I misunderstand her and say no, I just wanted to hand my project in, and that she can take all the time she needs with the tutor. She clarifies herself and says that if I'm going to be there for a while, could I help her with the project.
I say yes ("Good Smeagol, always helps"), finally sign my project away, and then do my best to help her. Hopefully I didn't screw her up since I sure ain't had no accounting smarts but I had to do something. I remember was I was in her position and how fustrated I was that no one was really helping me. When she was talking to the tutor, all the idiot would say is "I think you should go back and read it carefully". Dude, just because I can't do accounting doesn't mean I can't read... you bastard.
It was like that this year for me too, tutors being cryptic in their "help" or flat out refusing to answer. Luckily, asking everyone I came across if they knew accounting paid off and I FINALLY got some help at work. Hehe, that's what you get for asking me "How are you?" in the most casual way possible. I'm going to unload all my burdens on you! But the folks at work are SO nice. When Lucinda told me she knew accounting, she wouldn't stop until did her best to solve my dilemas - she made me print out my project and bring up the notes online. At one point our boss, Ulli, came in and wondered what we were doing (he told we were having some kind of par-tay or something, but he's crazy that way lol). Lucinda didn't even look up because she was so focused on the project I had to tell Ulli what was going on. He didn't even mind though. (Most) People in the publishing industry are so awesome :-D.
After I left the tutorial (I found out the girl I helped had so much in common with me. We're both in the third year and in the same program. She was ranting about why we need accounting skills if we're in human resources. Our tutor said that payroll responsibilities are taken care by HR dept but I said I'd just get the accounting dept to do it [obviously, that's what they're there for]. The tutor goes, "oh yeah..." then turns back to the email he's writing. Heh heh, that shut him up, Shut him up good!) I went to wait for my bus. But since it comes every twenty minutes on Sunday, I went to chill-ax under a tree.
I don't know why but, to me, hanging out in the shade of a tree on a beautifully manicured lawn is what college is all about. It was so, so nice. I thought about missing my bus when it did come but "responsible" Laura had to get home and do some homework. Unfortunately, "lazy" Laura (she's the strongest of all my personalities :incog:) won out in the end and I took a nap when I got home since I didn't sleep the night before; not because I was doing my project (which I finished around 2:30 am while procrastinating all the while) but because if I went to sleep, I wouldn't wake up in time to go to school to hand in the project I had worked so hard on. I'm irony's bitch in so many ways that I wasn't going to give in on this one.
I got about 3 hours sleep before Pat came to my house to pick me up for dinner. But I definitely would have sacrificed any amount of hours to see my friends *HUGS EVERYONE*. A bunch of us went an all-you-can sushi restaurant. I hate restaurants that make you feel guilty or like you've done something wrong by staying there for more than an hour - after you've paid, might I add. All right, if it was busy and a bunch of people wanted to get in, then sure, I'll leave. But if the place is 50% empty, keep your dirty looks and barely concealed, off-colour comments to yourself! And I wouldn't have been there so long if you could get my food to me less than 20 minutes after I order it! Yes I know I kept ordering noodles at a sushi bar (I don't like sushi) but how it my fault that you have the dish on the menu but not in the kitchen? Well dispite that, dinner was great. I really miss my friends but it's so hard to accomdate schedules these days (ack! get back adulthood, back I say!). Actually I should say, their schedules. Haha, I'm always free.
Going out to dinner in a few minutes with my grandma. She's here (i.e. in the suburbs) because she has to try on a custom-made dress for my uncle's wedding. When your grandmother has better fashion sense than you, you've got problems. And we're also going to another chinese restaurant for dinner. Ugh, I wish I could just make her TRY non-asian food (I dare you to try a greek rice with tanziki sauce and not love it!), then I bet I'd have one of those grandmas who dirt-biked and brings me voo-doo dolls from her many trips aboard. It may be difficult to see to correlation between trying to foods and voo-doo dolls, but it's there. Trust me.
Hopefully I'll (and a bunch of other people) will find out by the end of the week if the Toronto LotR convention is going to happen, or if we've all lost our money. I have to have hope that it will happen because it doesn't and the only thing I can tell people I did this summer was go to summer school, I'm going to go ballistic. Someone is also selling Eowyn's green dress, i.e. the dress I would have liked to wear to my prom if given the chance, but a) it won't fit me and b) I have no money! Need an Lotr fix! *turns head slightly to look at Frodo action figure on desk*
Phew, that was a long blog, even by my standards. Hope you enjoyed it!
