Our Love Isn't Wrong, Juan

[annundriel]

Watching Spanish talk shows on Telemundo is confusing. And amusing. And othering -ing things.

If anyone's interested...

Respond to this post with your name, and I'll:

1. I'll respond with something random I like about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll name something we should do together.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll leave you a quote that is somehow appropriate to you.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you should post this on your journal.

1. I like your energy and how whenever I saw you around campus, you always seemed excited about something.
2. It's not a song or a movie, but Farscape reminds me of you. Particularly, Zhaan reminds me of you. I'm not sure why.
3. You should introduce me to some anime because I've always been curious.
4. I still want to kick Socrates in the head sometimes.
5. I think the first time I met you we went to see the second Matrix movie opening night. I had a class with a friend of yours and was invited on a whim. After that, we had philosophy together and I remember you doodling in the front row.

oo.. and what would I do?
Now that is a loaded question... (sadly, right now all I am really thinking about is getting back to school)

but really? right now I would move my butt to East Asia (Singapore) and find a job working in either an american business firm or singapore one and use my free time to visit Indonesia/Laos/Vietnam/China/Japan/Korea/ASIA

I have odd dreams that seem to change randomly

Telemundo! Put on the captions, it helps me a little bit understand.

Julia!

I didn't even think of captions. D'oh!

1. I like your sense of humor and how you don't put up with crap.
2. Rent. Probably because I watched it with you and now just seems like a very Julia thing. Also, Rasputina in general reminds me of you. Not sure why.
3. Lounge by a pool while drinking margaritas and mocking stupid people.
4. Father Cobb is a glitch in the matrix.
5. Wow, um, probably working on "Astrophil and Stella" for Brit Lit I. I know we talked before that, and possibly I'm remembering working on other poetry, but I remember sitting in the corner of lobby working on something with you. I thought you were cool and kind of art-y.

7. Who has been most influential in/to your writing?

[juliarchy.livejournal.com]

Okay, I love that quote and will be relaying it to my father.

Influential to writing? I almost hate to say it but Sylvia Plath in all her angsty goodness. I like that her writing doesn't make a whole lot of sense to anyone but her but everyone knows that it is awesome.

And David Sedaris. Because everyone needs humor in their writing.

I think funny you thought me arty. I'm so not!

It's one of my favorite quotes. Runners-up were:

"If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing." - Kingsley Amis

and

"The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in, shock-proof shit detector." - Ernst Hemingway

I need to read more Sylvia Plath. I'm pretty sure that other than a poem or two for classes, I've never read her. Always been interested but a little daunted. Because, as you say, she's the only one that really understands it.

I also need to read more David Sedaris. Because he is brilliant and funny and really do I need more reason than that?

Though I haven't read any of your writing, except for your poem in Fragments, I can see how both of them would have influenced you.

You always looked interesting. People where I'm from don't look interesting. They look scary or slutty or weird or blah.

I can only watch Telemundo for so long before the intense emotions and bad acting get to me.

They were holding the people down on stage as soon as they got there. It was rather intense and I had to stop watching after awhile.

1. I like your mix of interests. Whenever I see you, you mention something that I've heard of vaguely before but never really looked into. And it all sounds interesting.
2. Something by David Lynch.
3. We should watch Dr. Who.
4. My food is problematic.
5. I remember sitting on the steps outside of Engineering while working on a mini-group discussion/project in Sociology.
6. "In this life we have to take things as we find them, as the torso murderer said when he discovered his victim was a quadruple amputee." - William S. Burroughs
7. I'm horrible at this question part. Why Seattle University? Also, I see you're doing the 50 books challenge. How's that going and do you count books that you have had to read for class or is it a strictly personal-life reading?

[subjectivreview.livejournal.com]

7. Because it's super far away from PA. Also, it is in the middel of a liberal city and Northeast PA is conservative and rural.

The 50 books challenge is not going so well. I have a backlog of about 6 books now that I've read but haven't written about. I'm hoping to catch up on the reading and the writing over the summer. I am counting books I read for class, but only if I actually read the whole thing, and not just chapters here and there.

[annundriel.livejournal.com]

I keep a booklist of everything I read and for the longest time I wasn't counting books read for class. But now I've decided that, darn it, if I finished reading it, the whole thing, it goes on the list.
