Snakes on a Plane. Fearless (propoganda film that it was, it was still pretty fun). Shortbus. Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Fight Club (I just don't want to see it, again, now that we're all done quoting it day in and day out). Donnie Darko. Requiem for a Dream. Real Genius. Little Miss Sunshine. The Prestige. 300. Death of a President (suprisingly well-done, this one. Can't wait to see what that shop gets up to, next). V for Vendetta.

Infernal Affairs. Cro-Martie High School (live-action). Star Wars (first trilogy). Hot Fuzz (something about gun fights involving elderly Brits just delights me). Transformers (the new movie.

Carnivale. Alias. Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Lost. The Amazing Screw-on Head. Dane Cook's Tourgasm. Heroes. Studio 60. The Daily Show. The Colbert Report. Drawn Together (the censored version, because it's funnier when you hear the bleeps). Jericho. Battlestar Galactica (although Adama the Younger is, in my opinion, a whiny bitch).

Jimmy Locke (showed me you're never too old to go back, get your degree, and go on to amazing things). Jack Bristow. Batman. Wang Longfei, my old contact teacher, because he's awesome. The Brothers Grinn, because they seem to have more fun than almost anyone else. J. J. Abrams, or whoever's actually writing his stuff. Jet Li (especially after his last movie, although that movie he did with DMX is still rather dumb). Charlie Croker. Jason Statham ("Handsome Rob"). Robert Hawkins. Elijah Snow. Jamie Kennedy (because he has more fun than most and doesn't seem to mind being ridiculous). Richard Metzger. |

About me:
(Raidho, Tiwaz, Laguz.) I'm looking to go back to school, as I've decided I want to be a world-traveler (going to China was one of the best things I did, and it's made me want to see for myself what the rest of the globe is like), a polyglot, an engineer and, eventually, a teacher, as well. This is going to be the work of many years, but I finally got started on it. Oh, and I love ice cream. Also, I am inept at lip-synching.
update: Now in the Navy, second phase of nuclear power training, and soon to be working on nuclear submarines. Whee!
------------
There should be a section for one's favorite quotes, in my opinion. As there is no pre-existing one, I'm making my own.
Quotes:
"Allmächtiger Gott, Lösche Aus"
--one of the things AGLA stands for.***
"Never Despair. Never surrender."
--Rorschach, "Watchmen"***
"There is always a 'why'."
--Kelli I.***
"Be a philosopher; but amid all your philosophy, be still a man."
- David Hume***
"Don't be a jerk."
--I first encountered this one on the Straight Dope Message Board, but it seems to be the core precept of a great many online communities.***
"Anyone who makes up their mind before they hear the fuckin' issue is a fuckin' fool.... Listen, let it swirl around your head, *then* form your opinion! No normal, decent person is *one* *thing*."
--Chris Rock

Who I'd like to meet:

Johnathan Coulton. Spider Robinson. Christopher Lloyd. Naomi Wolf. Aaron McGruder.
