SUPPOSEDLY if you've seen over 85 of these movies, you have no life. Mark the ones you've seen. There are 240 movies on this list.

Copy this list, go to your bulletin board, paste this as a note. Then, put x's next to the movies you've seen, add them up, change the header adding your number, and click post at the bottom.

( 123 movies, baby! )

Okay, my muse has been making herself known lately, and I'm getting that "I wanna WRITE!" itch under my skin. Hit me up with Five Things, if you so desire. NSync!slash. Stargate SG-1. Harry Potter. Firefly/Serenity, but that would be het (Zoe/Mal 4EVAH!).

It's a bit late, but here's my entry in the "pick ten LJers on your friends list, say something about them..." meme. With a twist though, because a few of these are group-oriented. Also, I'm not tagging anyone because I'm already late on this thing as it is. ;-) Here we go.

1) SMART. Even after years of reading entries, some of you people still amaze me. And not just smart, funny too, which is a killer combination for me. I'm pleased and proud and honestly, just a bit awed that some of you people still associate with me. I'm proud to know you, believe me.

2) It amazes me that you put so much of yourself out there, it's something I wish sometimes that I could do. I have to admit that when I first friended you, some of your posts made me roll my eyes but as I've watched you over the years I realize that it's just you, you're real. You're completely out there, and I admire that about you.

3) I think we almost completely click, but we're kind of like the proverbial ships that pass in the night - close, but not quite. It saddens me, because I think we'd probably get on like a house afire if we knew each other offlline. TMI, but it kind of hurt a bit to see you click so well with someone else recently. For some reason I was really nervous when we talked and everything I said came out the wrong way, and I didn't quite say what I really meant. Aiii, I'm a doofus. ;-)

4) I'm social but waaaay too private about some things, so I want to tell two of you that I really love you like crazy. My long LJ hiatus certainly didn't help matters, but I'm taking the opportunity now to let you both know that you mean a lot to me, even if I'm a shit about showing it. I've probably told each of you something to that effect at least once, so...yeah.

5) We met, we clicked, we...haven't done anything since! So, we didn't click? Anyway, I miss you. As above, my LJ hiatus didn't help, I'm sure. I wish we'd been able to keep in touch - which sounds kind of stupid seeing how we've got this very public forum in which to interact. :-) Still, we do the comment thing, so that's something.

6) There's a whole group of you I've never interacted with. I've read your entries but never commented, mostly because it feels awkward. Even though we've friended each other, would you welcome a comment from me? Would you wonder who the hell I am? Would I say something stupid? Oy, the self-inflicted drama!

7) If we've interacted and I like you and I haven't friended you, it's because I'm for shit at checking my friends info. I used to check quite a bit, but I hated it when people unfriended me, so I stopped checking my friends stats as regularly! If that makes me sound like the world's biggest loser well, maybe I am. Anyway, I've been checking the page and I'm slooooowly adding people I recognize.

8) I hate being filtered. ;-p Again, my LJ hiatus probably didn't help. :-(

9) I like you and you seem interesting. I'd like to get to know you better! [Seems vague, but that really is directed at someone :-)]

10) Dude, I just realized that you unfriended me! I thought you liked me?

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.

I cheated, 'cause October is the bestest month EVER!!! I love October, it's my favorite month - I think it would be even if I hadn't been born then. It's the beginning of cooler weather and it's the gateway to the holiday season. The stretch from October-December is the best.

On my birthday - October 3rd
