Irony and Self-Deprecation

When you see this, post another Buffy quote in your LJ. Let's see how long this can go on.

"I want to take comfort in you, and I know it will cost me my soul, and a part of me doesn't care" - Angel (I LOVE THIS LINE! SO MUCH! You can just hear the swelling music, can't you? Aw man, season 3 Buffy/Angel was so funny.)

I'm starting a new meme! Mostly because I want to post an Angel quote that isn't him being lame.

When you see this, post an Angel quote in your LJ. Let's see how long this can go on.

"I have no problem spanking men." - Angel

Snagged from fletcherism, because I am a whore for memes involving music and lists.

This is supposed to be the 15 most influential albums of my life, but I couldn't narrow them down, so there's 30. 15 albums from my childhood/preteen years and 15 albums from my teenage years.

( I'm going to try to be honest with this list. Musical warts and all. )

THE HAPPINESS MEME

Rules: For eight days you have to post something that made you happy that day.

This Doctor Who vid I don't know why I love the combination of corny 80s music and Doctor Who, but I really really do. I will always giggle like a mad woman when I see one.

Snagged from missmurchison, but I've seen it all over the place for the last few months. I never really wanted to do it, but I figured why the hell not.

THE HAPPINESS MEME

I watched 5 episodes of Strangers With Candy today, which brought me much lulz. Also, I cleaned the living room and the kitchen today, which brings a nice sense of accomplishment.

I usually don't do year in reviews beyond the meme that I did in the last post, but I figured I'd do a quicky.

I finished my first year at the UofU and I started my second.

I got a 4.0, finally.

I saw Wilco 3 times and met Jeff Tweedy.

I saw Andrew Bird, Tilly and the Wall, Neko Case, Retribution Gospel Choir, and The Fleet Foxes.

I went to California, twice, both times very fun and awesome. The first time I went, I went to PCA/ACA conference with Haley and Jasie, and it was geek/nerd heaven for me.

I went to Idaho for the first time. Not remarkable, I know, but it was still a new place.

I VOTED for the first time! Late August to November were crazy, and politics became my new crack.

I declared my major.

TV I watched and enjoyed muchly/squeed over: Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes, Torchwood, Doctor Who, Classic Doctor Who, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, 30 Rock, Top Gear, QI, Peep Show, That Mitchell and Webb Look, Californication, Weeds, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, and The West Wing.

Movies I watched for the first time: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Fight Club, Clerks 2, 12 Monkeys, Burn After Reading, Tropic Thunder, The Dark Knight, The Philadelphia Story (and many many other Cary Grant movies), American Psycho, The Dreamers, The Exorcist, Nosferatu, The 2nd X-Files movie, Planet Terror, Death Proof, The Queen, Waitress, True Stories, Diary of the Dead, and Willow. Probably more, but I can't remember them at the moment. Oh, and I've watched half of Apocalypse Now: Redux over the last few days. Watching that movie is like reading Heart of Darkness: I can only handle so much before I want to take a nap.

Books I read: Mostly just stuff for school, but in the summer I read Misery. Yeah I suck at reading when I'm not required to, but I read a lot of awesome things for my classes, that I am apparently far too lazy to list them.

Overall grade for 2008: A- It was pretty kickass for me I think. I know I've forgotten stuff in this post, since I tried to type it up in 20 minutes.

Well, I'm off to Salt Lake with my mom so I can get a ride to Staci's party in Ogden from Flora. I wish I had a car.

Happy New Year everybody!

1. Stop talking about politics for a moment or two.
2. Post a reasonably-sized picture in your LJ, NOT under a cut tag, of something pleasant, such as an adorable kitten, or a fluffy white cloud, or a bottle of booze. Something that has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS.
3. Include these instructions, and share the love.



I didn't make this macro, but cardboard Ainley!Master is so funny!

And here's an extra picture of Five being all adorable.

I took this quiz in 2005, and apparently I am still a socialist.
