Post a topic--fannish, political, religious, sports-related, whatever--and I will reply with my most controversial opinion on the subject.

When you see this and if it strikes your fancy, post in your own journal with your favorite quote from The Princess Bride. Preferably not "As you wish" or the Inigo Montoya speech.

"Have You Ever Heard of Plato? Aristotle? Socrates? Morons!"

In other news and after a very tight race, I eventually got sorted as a Martell over at westerosorting. Which is good because they have my favourite House motto!

1. These days, there are angry ghosts all around us. Dead from wars, sickness, starvation, and nobody cares. So - you say you're under a curse. So what, so's the whole damn world. Mononoke Hime guessed by tiamatschild

2. I always said, if I had to fuck a guy... I mean had to, if my life depended on it... I'd fuck Elvis.

3. You want to know who I am? I am... I am the Invincible Sword Goddess Princess, armed with the Green Destiny that knows no equal! Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon guessed by ydub and shiinabambi

4. This is your receipt for your husband... and this is my receipt for your receipt. Brazil, guessed by the_corbie

5. If you were waiting for the opportune moment, that was it. Curse of the Black Pearl guessed by alighiera except for the part about reading numbers, and also by modillian and zollo_the_fat

6. This is the most uncomfortable coffin I've ever been in. You are wasting my time. Ed Wood, guessed by darksumomo

7. Follow. But. Follow only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived. Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth. Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail, guessed by flo_nelja and alighiera

8. Honey, I'm so proud of you. I watched you very closely, and you didn't screw up once! American Beauty, guessed by ydub

9. I am a mistake made by God.In my heart, I am a woman. Women can have children. What if a miracle like the Virgin Mary getting pregnant... was to happen to a homo? Better give me a little extra. After all, l'm eating for two. Tokyo Godfathers guessed by arislanchan

10. When I was a kid, I thought I was. I can't believe I'm crying already. Sometimes I think people don't understand how lonely it is to be a kid, like you don't matter. So, I'm eight, and I have these toys, these dolls. My favorite is this ugly girl doll who I call Clementine, and I keep yelling at her, "You can't be ugly! Be pretty!" It's weird, like if I can transform her, I would magically change, too. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind guessed by zollo_the_fat

11. Do you see any Teletubbies in here? Do you see a slender plastic tag clipped to my shirt with my name printed on it? Do you see a little Asian child with a blank expression on his face sitting outside on a mechanical helicopter that shakes when you put quarters in it? No? Well, that's what you see at a toy store. And you must think you're in a toy store, because you're here shopping for an infant named Jeb. Unbreakable guessed by zollo_the_fat

12. Well, it's a lot more compact than the flaming sword, but it's not nearly as impressive. Just doesn't have that Wrath-of-the-Almighty edge to it. I mean, come on, how am I supposed to strike fear into the hearts of the wicked with this thing? Look at this... Dogma guessed by alighiera and modillian

13. - You heard me. Only high-powered, neurotic, castrating, Manhattan career bitches wear black. Is that what you want to be?
- Ever since I was a little girl. Stepford's Wives (lattest version) guessed by zollo_the_fat

14. One from the vaults... Don't be upset. It was a mercy killing. He had a certain naive charm, but no muscle. The Rocky Horror Picture Show guessed by alighiera and ydub

15. Oh she'll kill me one day or another. But she will remember forever that *I* caught her, and *I* held her prisoner. So there's my immortality, hey? The Last Unicorn, by flo_nelja

Leave a comment and I'll give you a letter; then you have to list 10 things you like starting with that letter. Post them in your journal and give out new letters to your commenters in turn. NO TAGBACKS ALLOWED, unless a commenter specifically requests to be given a letter!

Daydreaming : my mind often drift away to fairer scapes. Fanfic musings, elaborate scenettes, fantasies, metaphysical discussions, preparation of meta posts, imaginary dialogues with real or fictionnal people, I do it all.

Delight : taking joy in the world, in living, in the colours and tastes and sounds and smells around you. I think it's one of the most important thing in the world.

Delirium : of the Endless. Yeah, I could keep enumerating every one of them, too, but it would be cheating ^^ anyway Delirium's my favourite, she's such fun. And Brief Lives my favourite story.

Daring : cheek is sexy. Sometimes it's worth not feeling limited by conventions.

Dancing : I hate night clubs for the atmosphere but I love dancing. So usually I just do it alone at home XD

D, Vampire Hunter : gorgeous animated movie ^^

Dawn : it's always darkest before... the character, or the moment. I like both.

Distress : a book, by Greg Egan, which I adore

Dispossessed : a book, by Ursula Leguin, which is very very good.

After three days of not working due to server, my dear ombilical internet is functionning again. Yay-ness. No, I am not an addict.

Anyway, happy birthday ponygirl ! You're born two days before my sister ^_^

I'm finally getting better out of this cold. Played Nephilim on Sunday, and scheduled to see Kiki Delivery's Service AT LAST this tuesday. I look forward to it.
And what about all those homework ? Well, of course, I'm not one shred ahead than I was before. *sigh*

I also finally got lent the Fables : the animal farm TPB. Not as good as the first one, but very very nice nonetheless. I want more. I'll probably end up buying them.
