i won't look at all the damned threads and find stuff to talk about with people i want to talk to. i'll be in THIS THREAD and the ones connected to the WAR thingie. one conversation in one place, yeah?
i'm 32, married, 4-yr-old son, i like to write. and i decided to start asking people questions. that stuff starts being posted in may. you can get updates until then and onward by liking the facebok page here: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Curiouser-and-Curiouser/304516562938553
my blog, where i keep pictures/family/writing stuff etc is here: http://lookatmissohio.wordpress.com/ the writings stuff i have out there is under the 'things of mine' tab.
um, i like the X-Files. and vincent d'onofrio.
i'll just update this thread with random thoughts now and then and check it and whatnot.
also, my middle name isn't lynn. i just think it's clever...
my kid is the cutest kid ever, jay's totally right. and thank you!!
@Joseph - i'm an AWESOME SHOT! i do shoot right-handed, though, i just learned that way. WHEN I WAS A KID. i shoot a rifle right-handed, too. and i know my arms and shoulders are tensed, but that comes with the awareness of being photographed and making the most of your arm muscles for the photograph so as to maximize arm-shapeliness - i'm kind of fixated on arms/hands.
@grig - put the hat in the box. or something shiny. not like balled-up gum wrapper shiny, like a windchime or a ruby or something.
now i feel weird, cause martin's read my stories... i didn't really think anyone would click the links - but wait you're on facebook so you see the links there, too, okay that makes sense.. that last part was just me thinking out loud...
nkki you might be the only one that's caught the manda lynn thing, i never say anything and i use that name in several places...
two of the people who've posted in here are in the interviews :) i'm not releasing names til the 27th but i don't care if the authors do, i just haven't really mentioned names yet. more interesting with speculation and whatnot.
i'm the person that was like OH MY GOD! THEY'RE TOGETHER! IN THE SAME BED! and didn't give a shit about the rest of the movie. it was like a really long average episode. and i was like YEAH AMANDA PEET YOU BITCH FALLING TO YOUR DEATH THAT'S WHAT YOU GET WITH YOUR SUBTLE FLIRTY VIBE WITH MULDER YOU DESRVED THAT!
i wish i was kidding about how passionate that reaction was.
It was a long average episode. It was one of those in between episodes, you know? Where the week before they had some groundbreaking stuff that had to do with the plot. And then the next week they give you an out there sort of funny case to break it up. Like that.
And I agree - that's what she gets.
Off the top of my head, my favorite episodes of x-files are Bad Blood (the Rashoman one [although, looking up rashomon, I see that it's actually the 'in the grove' one]), The Post-Modern Prometheus, Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose, War of the Coprophages, Jose Chung's From Outer Space, and Humbug (looked this up just now, and those last four are all by the same writer. Darin Morgan is just brilliant. I hope he makes more stuff like those 4 episodes).
Everything through season 5 is pretty outstanding. I guess I stopped watching very often after season 5. Every stand-alone monster of the week episode is great, but I didn't care for many of the 'main storyline' episodes.
I say, 'off the top of my head' but I had to look up the names of the episodes. Shit, there are a lot more that are great....
seasons 3, 4 and 5 were probably the best. i CRIED during Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose.
i followed it all the way through, realized how truly i hate David Duchovny and love Mulder and how disturbingly seperate i keep them in my head when he left. i was so pissed at him. Gillian Andersen still had 2 yrs on her contract, she had to ride it out. not that Robert Patrck was horrible, just not Mlder. the last few episodes were good, though - right back to the beginning with the rain and the hotel room and all that. i cried then too.
i never realized what a big baby i was about that show.
i met a friend's girlfriend from... Latvia? i think Latvia - and she was so excited to see Kalifornia because she'd heard sooooo much about Brad Pitt being the hottest thing ever. needless to say she was confused. and a bit horrified.
Kalifornia was pre-Mulder so for some weird reason it doesn't interfere in my head. but yeah, Kalifornia. and i loooove True Romance. incredible ensemble cast. that's one of those that you can never watch too much.
@conley - is that you, stephen? also that one's awesome, with the lightning. i really like giovanni ribisi. well, and jack black.
remember the one with ryan reynolds? he just had a teeny piece at the beginning, it was about the highschool girls/witches, one of them was Lori for That 70's Show. ryan reynolds hung himself at the beginning.
that one was cool, mulder drank a lot, they were both kind of loosening up.
and Dreamland 1&2. forever happy with that one.
i can't do sleeping pills, now i'm off nyquil and cold medicines. physical exhaustion doesn't work. it's a cycle - i sleep well for two or three weeks, then just don't for a few months. i'll be on 3-4 hours a night until sometime this summer, probably. in a few weeks i'll hit some sort of adjustment phase and stop feeling so insane. if i don't give in and go back to the nyquil before then.
Tried melatonin?
Also I take old school sleeping pills because the newer pills make me hallucinate more than normal and I end up doing stuff like looking for my guitar tuner in the carpet like its a crack rock or something and there was this one time I took a shower with my clothes on. God that night it took forever to tune my guitar. Almost as long as restringing my acoustic on acid. Sure it sounds all fun but geez when a girl wants sleep she wants sleep!
Anyhow I take temazepam every so often but usually just take trader joes chewable melatonin an hour before I want to sleep and it can really help but not always. But it's cheap and it tastes good and works better than the other brands I've tried. I usually take two.
Hope this helps.
