"because it's from outer space? what do you want from me?"

[rocknload]

This is the first time I've ever written a paper that's a whole page longer than the minimum specified requirements. Possibly because I got to speculate on the motivations of a carnivorous alien menace and include phrases like, "It's unfortunate that the scientifically motivated characters didn't get a chance to speculate more before they were killed and eaten."

It's possible I may be choosing the long line of work, here. Is there a line of work where you get to speculate about aliens? I'm totally there.

Edit: Though I may be ill-suited for science stuff, at least I didn't spent the entire class doodling about Dan the DNA Man and the wacky adventures of Mitosis and Meiosis. Unlike someone I know.

Also, I think I'm changing my schedule to take microbiology next semester. Holy crap, that topic drives me crazy. I must understand it.

It was a scientifically based critique on The Thing! Another movie you should watch, though you wouldn't like it at all.

Dude, I didn't make up the assignment. I just did it with enthusiasm.

[fillmydarksoul.livejournal.com]

I'm sure!

Extra credit in this class is fantastic. Now I have to write four one page papers on whatever I want. Unfortunately, it's gotta be, like, actual science, not the science I make up.

... Why didn't I get that? Dammit. :< my school sucks.

You need a wacky teacher! Wacky teachers are awesome.

Just make sure to take periodic trips to Flagstaff! Mountain air is good for the learning. That's what NAU's campaign tells me.

OH MY GOD, PLEASE TELL ME THAT YOU DO NOT LIKE ENCHANTED. I MAY HAVE TO CRY IF YOU DO.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Alright, I did not like Enchanted, even though it's hilarious, cute, and an awesome parody of everything it simultaneously represents. And it had James Mardsen prancing around in that ridiculous outfit and singing.

Do you feel better, now?

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

... I don't know you anymore.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

I actually didn't see it in theaters because you hated it so much. I'm pretty sure I can't take your word on anything movie related anymore.

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

... I saw it in theaters. ONLY BECAUSE I WAS FORCED TO.

SPEED RACER SUCKED.

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT

HOW DO YOU KNOW

HOW DO YOU KNOW

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

MY SOUL, IT KNOWS THAT IT'S CHILDHOOD IS BEING RIPPED AWAY FROM IT.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

DUDE, I HAVE WATCHED AT LEAST HALF OF THE ORIGINAL CARTOON, AND READ THE WHOLE FREAKING MANGA. IT DOES NOT BASTARDIZE THE SOURCE MATERIAL, SCOUT'S HONOR.

EXCEPT NOW RACER X IS HOT. HOW IS THIS A BAD THING.

[fillmydarksoul.livejournal.com]

HOW DO I KNOW? YOU LIKE ENCHANTED.

[unicorn]

Disowned.

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

... NOT YOU TOO.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT SHE LIKED IT?!

HOW DID YOU EVEN MISS THAT

[fillmydarksoul.livejournal.com]

... I DON'T GET HER TWITTERS ON MY PHONE.

Dude, the day I came home from seeing the movie I twitter'd that anyone who disliked it had no soul. Brittany joined ME on the Speed Racer bandwagon.

You should see it before you judge. >/

[fillmydarksoul.livejournal.com]

I saw a part of it! I was not IMPRESSED. I didn't want to waste my money on a movie I wouldn't have liked.

I also made an LJ post in giant sparkletext saying GO SPEED RACER GOOO.
