one more miracle

Flisty mcflist! I need your help. I have recently downloaded or borrowed a small stack of movies, and given how limited my free time is, I'm going to have to ration them. I need your help deciding which is the most important! I'm leaning toward Fast & Furious because I haven't seen it (muscle cars! Michelle Rodriguez! ....oh and maybe some hot guys? idk) but I want your ~opinions!

[Poll #1436910]

I hate when I'm watching a TV show that is making me feel so strongly that I just HAVE to talk about it, but because I talk to barely any of you on AIM or anything (what's THAT about?) there's almost never anyone around to talk to, so I try to ramble to someone who has no idea what I'm talking about and they're like "...dude. Shut up." Well not actually, but then my squee starts getting harshed and I have this bad habit of getting annoyed with someone when they're completely apathetic about something I love fiercely. It's STUPID and I know that but I can't help but feel that way.

This is an unfortunate side effect of having to download and watch all my shows well after everyone else. I kind of hate it.

So, in an effort to feel more connected, I want you to give me your screen names! Or just IM me, whatever. on AIM I am starsouls1013, on gmail chat I'm starlight1013@gmail.com. I'm on both of them quite often, and I love chatting with folks, so yes! Tell me who you are or just friend me and we can start to get to know each other better, it'll be great :D The answers to the polls are screened, it's just me that will see them!

And now - PICSPAM! It's been bouncing around in my head to get some screencaps from the LOTMS DVD - I've seen a few of them floating around, but they're always shrunk down significantly. So I started on Helena, intending to get a couple shots of Gerard looking gooorgeous (seriously, he looks SO PRETTY in that video *grabbyhands*) and then I ended up capping the whole video. Whoops? Then I went and did the same thing with Ghost of You. They're both so cinematic! I love them desperately, and I hope someone else will enjoy looking at these caps as much as I enjoyed making them. ~90 large caps, not dialup friendly!

( So long and goodnight // At the end of the world )

So I was pondering about why, of all my OTPs, Sam and Dean stand head and shoulders above the rest. Especially in light of Croatoan.

( A bit of rambling. Spoilers for Buffy, Queer as Folk, Firefly, Serenity (DONT CLICK CASSI), and Boondock Saints. )

*draws eleventy billion hearts*

And now, I have a poll for you all! The absolutely wondrous wendy bought me a rename token, and I need to make up my mind on how to use it! I have two choices right now. The first is "taivaallinen," which means "heavenly" in Finnish and is just something I found while poking around dictionaries and such. I think it's an absolutely gorgeous word. The other is "exsequor," which is Latin for "to follow to the grave," and basically after Croatoan (see everything I just rambled about!) it feels ridiculously appropriate for Sam and Dean, and I kinda vaguely want my name to be a tribute to them.

So! Help me decide!

DISCLAIMER: The following is not to be taken as bragging or gloating, because none of ya'll had to go through this thing too - I'm just gleeful! /Disclaimer

GUYS. I ROCKED my Orgo test. (Organic chemistry, for those not following along at home) It was challenging and there are definitely a couple things I didn't get perfectly, but on the whole I felt very confident, and there was nothing that made me go "ummm WHAT?!" So THAT was good. The thing I was most worried about was the mixed spectra problems - there were two of em, and I NAILED them both. Which is such a relief. I think I pulled off a B+ again, and he curves upward at the end of the semester, so I'm getting something like an A in orgo! Eeeee! *twirls giddily*

However, my first comment above triggered a bit of curiosity on my part, so have a poll! Basically I'm curious to see what kinds of academic interests my flist has. And what kind of education you've had. Feel free to elaborate in the comments!

ETA: *facepalm* I just realized that CLEARLY you aren't all American, so you have different systems. Uhm. Fill it out best you can, and clarify in comments if you feel so inclined? This is all for curiosity's sake anyway, so it doesn't REALLY matter. But, uhm, I suck. Sorry!

[Poll #864873]

So hanging out with moonythestrals got me thinking... how many of you are as obsessed as me? My answers to the following questions are Yes, 6-10, and 60-70%. I'm curious to see what yours are :)

*Note, by on average I mean just that. I've seen Home probably 15-20 times but Route 666 1.5 times. So. Just take your best guess :)

( It's okay, don't be ashamed of your dorkitude! )
