[font=trebuchet ms] Some new loves and a couple of old-timers: [img]http://xs433.xs.to/xs433/08465/evagreen363.png[/img] [b]Eva Green[/b] - I was weird about her. When I first saw her in [i]Casino Royale[/i] I thought she was gorgeous. Then I changed my mind and thought she was annoyingly "model pretty". But I've arrived at a happy medium, I guess. [img]http://xs433.xs.to/xs433/08465/federer418.png[/img] [b]Roger Federer[/b] - Aw, because he's so cute and amazing at tennis. :) [img]http://xs433.xs.to/xs433/08465/gaspardulliel604.png[/img] [b]Gaspard Ulliel[/b] - Thought he looked amazing in [i]Hannibal Rising[/i], loved him in [i]A Very Long Engagement[/i]. Also, he speaks French. sigh [img]http://xs133.xs.to/xs133/08465/kimahjoong463.png[/img] [b]Kim Ah Joong[/b] - I think of her as the Asian Rachel McAdams. She just reminds me of her for some reason. [img]http://xs133.xs.to/xs133/08465/kristenstewartroberpattinson246.png[/img] [b]Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson[/b] - As much as I hate [i]Twilight[/i], these two grew on me. [img]http://xs133.xs.to/xs133/08465/marion722.png[/img] [b]Marion Cotillard[/b] - Um... because she's beautiful. [img]http://xs133.xs.to/xs133/08465/markwahlberg533.png[/img] [b]Mark Wahlberg[/b] - I get the feeling that he's sort of a dick, but at the same time I like that. Also I loved him in [i]I Heart Huckabees[/i] and [i]The Departed[/i]. Soo excited for him in [i]The Lovely Bones[/i]. [img]http://xs133.xs.to/xs133/08465/nickjonas508.png[/img] [b]Nick Jonas[/b] - My roommate and I call him Baby Nick. We love him. I love him.

[font=trebuchet ms]Thanksgiving is the best holiday ever, haters move to the left. But here's what I plan to do: 1) eat 2) sleep 3) study for finals Repeat.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms] I'm really not kidding about [i]Plan 9 From Outer Space[/i]. It's not called "the worst movie ever made" for nothing.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms] Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959). [/font]

[font=trebuchet ms] I used to be sort of ambivalent about gay rights. I was always for them, but I never got passionate about it because I assumed it would happen eventually. But one of my best friends at college is bi, and he became incredibly upset after Prop 8 was passed and later on it opened a floodgate of bad memories for him. So I guess I've become more concerned about it. I've always been annoyed with people who are prejudiced against gays, but now that I've become good friends with someone who is gay/bi, I get very defensive about the whole subject. I knew from the beginning that Prop 8 had a very good chance of passing, but I guess seeing how deeply it effected some people made me more emotionally invested in it.[/font]

[quote name='Raiha'][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"] And it's not a matter of Obama has secretses so much as there are things about him not being actively reported even if they exist. Trying to tell me that the majority of media outlets wasn't totally enamored with making Obama look faultless before, during, and after [now] the election will be fun to try and square.[/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [font=trebuchet ms] I'm sure we'll lean more of his past. But I also really doubt that we're going to discover some ~deadly secret~ about him. lol [/font]

[quote name='Raiha'][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]Why would you cry over something you have no control over and can neither prove nor disprove? There is a pretty strong case for Obama being raised within one culture and then abruptly switched to another. It's right there in his books and writing. And now that he's the President Elect, it'll be fun to see how much more is finally revealed by the media which was oddly reluctant to expose his past. We know more about Joe the Plumber than we ever knew about Obama's past.[/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [font=trebuchet ms] Dayum girl, I haven't even cried yet. Wait until 3 AM.[/font]

[quote name='Chaos']In Obama's case, as typical as it is to hear a Southerner say this, I don't trust him. Couple reasons why, and the main thing to express here is NOT the black part. The main distrust comes from the Muslim aspect of his familial history, even though the people he has chosen to associate with have been of a Catholic following. I'm just bigoted like that. [/QUOTE] [font=trebuchet ms] Excuse me while I read this to my friends, have a good laugh over it, and then find myself abruptly crying while writing my paper at 3 in the morning. [/font]

[font=trebuchet ms] I'm really tired of this "I'm moving to _______ bitchbitchwhinemoan" (though it's amusing when the kids who call Obama a socialist say they'll move to Canada). And this isn't even directed at people here, it's all over Facebook statuses and I hear people saying it. If you're so dreadfully afraid of Obama being president, and you're too much of a whiner to sit there and not do anything about it, then I'll gladly escort you out. I mean I know people say it "jokingly", but it's just really annoying. If you can't handle things going your way then leave.[/font]

[quote name='Matt'][IMG]http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/substitute.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] [font=trebuchet ms] One of my favorites. Aside from Carebear Stare. And Missy Elliot cryptographers. And MC Hammer girl. And the Donner Party, and...[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms] Bawwww. Take your proposition 8 and go on, will ya.[/font] [quote name='Matt']Don't ever cross with the Political Nerd. He moves at 50 m/s, and knows no fear.[/QUOTE] [font=trebuchet ms] I see you referencing XKCD. ;)[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms] [img]http://i34.tinypic.com/4j9ox5.gif[/img] lol, you be a crazy.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms] McCain's speech was very dignified, I really loved how he handled it. A lot of people here applauded him when he was done, I think he was a good candidate, I just thought Obama was better.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms] When Obama won all the kids in the dorms surrounding the field ran out screaming and flooded it, it was [b]amazing[/b]. [/font]

[font=trebuchet ms] Ohio=Win. Doesn't even matter anymore. Hell yeah.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms] Just voted like an hour ago, and the line was only 5 minutes long! I voted for Obama, though I don't think Georgia will really be a swing state.[/font]

[quote name='Drizzt Do'urden']I can't believe I forgot this, I'm not sure where you are from. But there's a drink made in Korea (I think its possible to get it, though I know you can't in the states) called Soju. Its the most tastless thing you can ever drink, a glass of Soju with just a teaspoon of something sweet like kool-aid or fruit juice and it tastes like you are drinking a glass of whatever you added, plus the kick is amazing. 4 or 5 of those and you'll be gone, and I mean GONE. Would anyone be able to tell me ifyou can get it outside of the states? (U.K. residents and the such?) [/QUOTE] [font=trebuchet ms] I'm Korean, so we actually have soju at home. I have had it before, and yes...it is a good alternative. I forgot about it, though, thanks for bringing it up. You can get it at any international market, just try and find one that sells Korean food. But I'll second the question, but I'm wondering if I can get it any western store...[/font] [quote name='Lrb'][FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Man up. lol If you really can't stand the taste of alcohol then Bacardi Breezers would be good for you. It's rum-based but it's only 5% alcohol (4% in the States) so you can't even taste it. And it requires zero preparation![/COLOR][/FONT][/QUOTE] [font=trebuchet ms] :p As an (asian) girl I feel ok admitting that I need girly drinks. Does anyone know if Midori is commonly sold at places?[/font]

[quote name='Drizzt Do'urden']You should be drinking Natural Light if you are a REAL poor college student :shifty:[/quote] [font=trebuchet ms] Natty Light makes me want to vomit in my mouth. -_-[/font] [quote name='Drizzt Do'urden'] My personal favorite drink to get that quick buzz is a long island ice tea (always ask for the top shelf liquours though.) its pretty storng tasting, but will do the job.[/QUOTE] [font=trebuchet ms] I actually really want to try that...but I guess I'll have to wait until I have a fake or I become 21. [/font] [quote name='Dagger']Chasing your shots doesn't work? If you don't like Screwdrivers, you probably won't like Salty Dogs either (I'm a fan of both)... but have you ever tried one? There's a drink called Cassis Orange or something that's also pretty good. [/QUOTE] [font=trebuchet ms] Hm, I mean it does work but it's mostly just taking the shot that makes me really nauseous. But I actually think Salty Dogs might be good, since grapefruit juice is so acidic... or at least it'd be better than a screwdriver. [/font] [quote name='Europa'][COLOR="Blue"]Question: why would someone want to get drunk?:confused:[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [font=trebuchet ms] It's fun. [/font]

[quote name='Vicky'][size=1]I do have one question regarding Halloween... [B]How many Jokers did you count?[/b] Original comic book Joker or Jack N's Joker doesn't count. We counted 26 including the silly boy who was still wearing Joker make-up in Primark on Sunday.[/size][/QUOTE] [font=trebuchet ms] The question for me is "how many nurse-Jokers did you see?" Because I didn't see any normal jokers, they were all in nurse outfits. lol[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms] I remember a thread about alcoholic drinks, I'm assuming this is ok. I really hate the taste of alcohol. Whenever I take shots I hold my nose until like ten seconds after I've downed the thing, and I still get the urge to throw up. Screwdrivers are bearable, but I hold my nose when I drink those too. I also find flavored vodka like Smirnoff pretty disgusting, too. Except I enjoy getting drunk, so I'm trying to find alcoholic drinks that taste good. I've heard of midori sour, which sounds good and relatively simple to make. Does anyone else have recs? (remember I'm a relatively poor college student)[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms] Drunk --> huge block party --> more alcohol --> pictures --> facebook --> I realize I look pretty terrible when drunk --> but I leave them up anyway because it was fun.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms] Sometimes I wish I was a guy so I could dress myself in mens J. Crew clothing.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms] The thing is it doesn't even look good for what it's supposed to be: a blockbuster film. [i]Transformers[/i]' trailer was good. This trailer...sucked. lol I'm not pissy about Hollywood messing it up, though. Right now I'm too worried about Zack Snyder ****ing up [i]Watchmen[/i].[/font]

[quote name='Boo'][size=1]... He completely ruined Max Payne. How can you want someone who ruined one of the coolest male characters in a video game evar? ):[/size][/QUOTE] [font=trebuchet ms] Because he has that ~tough Bahston guy~ thing going on. [/font]

[font=trebuchet ms] [img]http://xs432.xs.to/xs432/08435/nickbeingbeautiful468503.jpg[/img] idc that it's illegal. Also Mark Wahlberg. Afterwards he'd tell me to say hello to my motha for him. [/font]
