Happy heart day, everyone.
Surgery happened. Life is good. Recovering well.
Here's a post. Because I'm not dead. Alternately, Lani? Never got any mail from you. I'm told I likely should have. What's up?
I think I've gotten over that stage in my life. Either that, or I'm terribly masochistic in specific situations.
At this point of my life, I'm not afraid of doctors. I've been to so many in the last four years, there's nothing I haven't heard at least once. I know my health isn't the greatest, though I do try do do the best I can with it.
Growing up, I always wondered what would happen if I happened to be sick, and always thought that hearing about new treatments, or switching treatments, would be 'awful'. Now that I'm there, it's just business. One more thing to do, one more medication to try. Means to an end.
It is nice when I hear that I'm doing something right, though. :) That being the case, I've had a good day.
I made it to six miles on my bike today, without having to go past my 30 minutes of biking. ...Granted, I pushed like hell in the last two minutes--those last four tenths of a mile were tough. But, it's the first time I've broken six miles in 30 minutes since I hurt my ankle and knee two weeks ago.

4. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.
5. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.

(1) August Rush, guessed by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
pwwka
Hope: You remember how you said Mozart was a musical prod?
Reverend James: Prodigy.
Hope: Yeah, well, I've got one of those and he's living under my bed!
(2) The Prestige, guessed by pwwka
Cutter: Now you're looking for the secret. But you wont find it because of course, you're not really looking. You don't really want to work it out. You want to be, fooled.
(3) V for Vendetta, guessed by glassmachine
Dominic: What do you think will happen?
Finch: What usually happens when people without guns stand up to people *with* guns.
(4) The Interpreter
Pettigrew: Are you sure you're ready to come back?
Keller: I'm better working.
Pettigrew: We got a credible threat?
Keller: We should assume so.
Pettigrew: As popular as we are in the rest of the world these days, the last thing we can afford is to have some foreign leader get popped on our soil, particularly a guy like this that we don't like. So state wants you to know, N.S.A., C.I.A., F.B.I., whatever you need to keep this maniac's heart beating till he makes his speech and gets the hell out, it's yours.
(5) Shaun of the Dead, guessed by: artspace
Shaun: Well maybe one should do the other, and then do themselves.
Liz: Oh maybe you should do me, I'll only muck it up if I have to do myself.
Liz: You know, I don't think I've got it in me to shoot my flatmate, my mum, and my girlfriend all in the same night.
Shaun: [pauses] What makes you think I'd have taken you back?
Shaun: Well... You don't want to die single do you?
Ed: [interrupting] That's it. I would like to be shot.
Shaun: Besides, I've changed. I haven't had a fag since yesterday, I promise!
Ed: He hasn't!
(6) Serenity, guessed by glassmachine
The Operative: That girl will rain destruction down on you and your ship. She is an albatross, Captain.
Captain: Way I remember it, albatross was a ship's good luck, 'til some idiot killed it.
(7) Sin City, guessed by glassmachine
Nancy: They won't let me testify. I told the cops that you saved my life and they just acted like I was crazy. They talked my parents into keeping me away. They said that you done things that you didn't do. I told them that you saved me from that Roark creep, but they won't even check me out to see if I'm still a virgin. I'm still a virgin, still alive... thanks to you. They got it all backwards.
John: Sometimes the truth doesn't matter like it ought. But you'll always remember things right. That's gonna mean a lot to me. But stay away, Nancy. They'll kill you if you don't stay away. Don't visit me. Don't write me. Don't even say my name.
(8) Labyrinth, guessed by artspace
Sarah: Give me the child.
Jareth: Sarah, beware. I have been generous, up till now. I can be cruel.
Sarah: Generous? What have you done that's generous?
Jareth: *Everything*! Everything that you wanted I have done. You asked that the child be taken. I took him. You cowered before me, I was frightening. I have reordered time. I have turned the world upside down, and I have done it all for *you*! I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me. Isn't that generous?
(9) Bridge to Terabithia, guessed by katanisk
Jesse: How come you're so good at that?
Leslie: Good at what?
Jesse: Building stuff. I mean, you're really good at it for a girl.
Leslie: Same way I'm fast... for a girl.
Jesse: You know what I mean.
Leslie: You're pretty good at art, for a boy.
Jesse: Okay, okay, truce.
(10) The Prophecy
Catherine: Go to hell!
Gabriel: Heaven, darling. Heaven. At least get the zip code right.
Catherine: It's all the same to you, isn't it?
Gabriel: No. In heaven, we believe in love.
Catherine: What do you love, Gabriel?
Gabriel: Cracking your skull.
(11) Moulin Rouge!, guessed by artspace
Zidler: Send Christian away.
Satine: He will fight for me.
Zidler: Unless he believes that you don't love him.
Satine: What?
Zidler: You're a great actress, Satine. Make him believe that you don't love him.
Satine: No!
Zidler: Hurt him, Satine. Hurt him to save him. There is no other way. The show must go on. We are creatures of the underworld. We can't afford to love.
(12) Finding Forrester, guessed by pwwka
Prof. Crawford: Perhaps the challenge should have been directed elsewhere. "It is a melancholy truth that even...
Jamal: "Great men have poor relations" Dickens.
Prof. Crawford: "You will hear the beat of..."
Jamal: Kipling.
Prof. Crawford: "All great truths begin..."
Jamal: Shaw.
Prof. Crawford: "Man is the only animal...
Jamal: "That blushes. or needs to." Mark Twain.
Jamal: Come on, Professor...
Prof. Crawford: [shouting] Get out!
Prof. Crawford: [whispered] Get... out.
Jamal: Yeah. I'll get out.
(13) Pay It Forward, guessed by forkly
Eugene: OK. You know, I'm going to have to consult my spirit guides here, because you tell me that Trevor is withholding from you, but you won't tell me anything specific and you still want me to sit here and divine why.
Arley: Divine why? You always talk like that?
Eugene: Yes.
Arley: You go to some big, fancy school?
Eugene: Yes.
Arley: Think you can stop rubbing my nose in it?
(14) The Pursuit of Happyness, guessed by therg
Christopher: What are you doing?
Christopher Gardner: Paying a parking ticket.
Christopher: ...But we don't have a car anymore.
Christopher Gardner: Yeah, I know...
(15) Finding Neverland, guessed by forkly
Peter Davies: This is absurd. It's just a dog.
J.M. Barrie: Just a dog? *Just*?
[to Porthos]
J.M. Barrie: Porthos, don't listen!
[to Peter]
J.M. Barrie: Porthos dreams of being a bear, and you want to shatter those dreams by saying he's *just* a dog? What a horrible candle-snuffing word. That's like saying, "He can't climb that mountain, he's just a man", or "That's not a diamond, it's just a rock." Just.
So, lookie this, I found my livejournal. I really should go through this and make use of it more than I do. Anyway, yes, I'm alive. Huzzah.

You are River (Stowaway)
| Even though you may have some personality
problems, (most likely due to being too smart and/or from experiments done on you), you are extremely talented and loved.  |
I love River. I really do. ....and somehow, I think the neverwar crew is just doing a collective facepaw at this one.
are supposed to do is answer all the questions, pop it in your LJ, and
hope that other people will copy them and answer them in their LJs too.
Pestering them to do so is verboten!

This is actually kinda hard for me, because there aren't many things i do that most would consider 'guilty pleasures'. so i'm mostly gonna go with things that make me happy that people might not know make me happy. (<--Rationale stolen from Greg. So there.)
1) Writing. Call me a masochist, hell, I know I'm a masochist, but I love writing. I live for November, just so I can be officially 'under the gun' to pump out 50k words in one month. I may not be the best writer, but I'd like to think I can come up with a fair continuity, given an hour or so.
2) Shinies. Give me something shiny, and you've entertained me for at least two hours. I'll find something to do with it. Trust me.
3) Firefly/Serenity. Yes, I'm obsessed. Yes, I use Chinese to curse in. Yes, I know I shouldn't do it around small children. But I do.
4) Details. Whether it is writing, explaining, visualizing--I need details. A lot. Always. To the point that I focus on the small enigmatic marriage of various traits to form an event or place, object or personality.
5) Crono Trigger and Chrono Cross. Favorite games of all time--I will play them ad nauseum, simply to play them. There is no other console game that has so completely captured my imagination as the Chrono series.
okay, there we go.
Oh, right, gotta tag people.
xaoxia, daiktana, dewimorgan, raiden_kitsune, and 3dbWork has been fine, though today is not a day I am going in.
Plans are being made to go to anthrocon already...hopefully with the NeverWar crew.
My hand is healing nicely (burned it on a wood stove on New Year's Eve).
Tim and I are doing wonderfully (though I am sure no one needed the update on that).
Must see movies are Narnia and Rent.
Been doing a bit of cooking lately. Darn people are trying to get me domesticated so that I can make a husband happy...apparently. Though the reasoning is laughable...I can't say I've been THAT bad at the undertaking. I just don't like it.
I have a camera. One that works. And is small. Long live the camera.
Timbuk2 is still a godly enterprise. (www.timbuk2.com)
Aster is openning/open. Aster is a roleplay guild/environment on Furcadia (www.furcadia.com).
I think that is about it right now. I could be wrong.

bouncy
Tim, Adam, Steph, Seb, and Steph's friend (Arlene...Ilene..Aylene....er, dun kill me, I can't spell!) and I all went to Coldstone Creamery last night. In feather boas.
Why? Because it was fetish night. Fetish night happens once a month, when the crew takes a random article of clothing and wears it. You need to ignore the fetish for the entire evening. (Boa? What boa?) You also aren't allowed to hold conversation other than the denial of the boa's existance with anyone other than the crew, or the Coldstone Creamery staff.
Yeah. Much fun to be had.

Which Megatokyo Character Are You? created with QuizFarm.com |
| Outcast Genius 82 % Nerd, 86% Geek, 56% Dork |
| For The Record: A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored better than half in all three, earning you the title of: Outcast Genius. Outcast geniuses usually are bright enough to understand what society wants of them, and they just don't care! They are highly intelligent and passionate about the things they know are *truly* important in the world. Typically, this does not include sports, cars or make-up, but it can on occassion (and if it does then they know more than all of their friends combined in that subject). Outcast geniuses can be very lonely, due to their being outcast from most normal groups and too smart for the room among many other types of dorks and geeks, but they can also be the types to eventually rule the world, ala Bill Gates, the prototypical Outcast Genius. Congratulations!
