I love how we never run out of things to say.

I love how you manage to keep up with my 10-second attention-span and general randomnes.

I love how you're trying more now.

I love how you make me feel like I make sense even when I think I don't.

I love how you never really leave.

I love how it feels like when you hold my hand.

I love how your stubbles feel against my skin.

I love how you let me get away with things, but not everything.

I love how you never bore me.

Pick up lines, what do you use?
POSTED AT 09:22 AM in Bobbing for Apples

One of my favorite past times is watching movies. I usually prefer action, suspense, sci-fi and some comedy; but rarely romantic movies. I like a few of course, but it is not really my thing. The fun thing about romantic comedy/drama movies are the pick-up lines you get from there. There are some lines though that you surely would not want to use.

Loretta Young: "I hate being pawed."
Lyle Talbot: "Maybe you've never been pawed properly."
(She Had to Say Yes, 1933)

Claudette Colbert: “You've got a name, haven't you?”
Clark Gable: “Yeah, I got a name. Peter Warne.”
Claudette Colbert: “I don't like it.”
Clark Gable: “Don't let it bother you. You're giving it back to me in the morning.”
(It Happened One Night, 1934)

Cary Grant: “I was bored to death. I hadn’t seen one attractive woman on this ship since we left. Now, isn’t that terrible? I was alarmed. I said to myself, ‘Don’t beautiful women travel anymore?’ And then I saw you, and I was saved - I hope.”
(An Affair to Remember, 1957)

Cary Grant: “Do we know each other?”
Audrey Hepburn: “Why, do you think we're going to? Because I already know an awful lot of people and until one of them dies I couldn't possibly meet anyone else.”
Cary Grant: “Well, if anyone goes on the critical list, let me know.”
(Charade, 1963)

Paul Newman: "You came back to this bar to see me tonight, didn't you."
Charlotte Rampling: "What if it wasn't you I came here to see tonight?"
Paul Newman: "Well, ya’ got lucky."
(The Verdict, 1982).

Nicholas Cage: “I really wish that you'd come home with me. You're so cute and I'm really good in bed, believe me. You smell good, too.”
(Leaving Las Vegas, 1995)

Ralph Fiennes: "Swoon. I'll catch you."
(The English Patient, 1996)

Tom Cruise: “We live in a cynical world. A cynical world. And we work in a business of tough competitors. I love you. You...complete me.”
(Jerry Maguire, 1996)

These lines are definitely not getting you a Victory Hair. According to some random sources, Victory Hair is supposedly when two equally pretty people hit it off. Don’t ask me why.

Now here is a little thing to play to check your flirting prowess. Try playing Extreme Style by VO5's Ultimate Flirting Championship game.

I’m really bad at it, but maybe you can do better.

waiting kills the brain cells

I couldn't think of a picture to post this sunday, so I came up with this:

Meet the puppy:

guess the line

I've been trying to work on midterms exams for hours, and this is what I came up with. So dead.

This whole weekend has been pretty pointless. It feels like it's just hours and hours spent waiting for monday to get here. He's changed a little you know. Not sure why, and if it's going to be good for me, but he's starting to act more like the guy I wanted him to be all these years. I wonder what brought this about.

I hope it doesn't mess with my head again.

Breaking the audiobook virginity for Meyer
POSTED AT 01:13 PM in Sell Out Pixie

I finally got my hands on that vampire series by Stephanie Meyer that everyone's been talking about. Ok, so I don't actually have the real book on hand. What I do have are the audio book versions of Twilight, New Moon, and Breaking Dawn. I missed out on the Eclipse. Joyce, can I has copy of Eclipse now please?

This is my first time with an audiobook. It's a little strange. I'm not a very auditory person, I'm better with visuals, so having to listen to a story takes a more effort on my part. It's harder for me to understand the plot lines while listening, AND trying to visualize the story at the same time. My mind tends to space out alot when I'm reading too. With a book, it's ok to pause, stare out, then go back to reading. The audiobook runs away from you when you pause and stare.

I'm not really sure which factor to blame, but Twilight is annoying me so far.

It can be the voice on the audiobook. The story was told from Bella Swan's point of view, obviously the protagonist in the story. The woman's voice on the tape sounded late 20s or something, which messes with my head a little. I kept picturing a 20-something Bella Swan talking about getting dazzled and befuddled in the head, with a thumping, racing heart rate whenever she talks to Edward Cullen. I wanted to whack her if stroke or heart attack doesn't kill her. Then I'd remember this is a 16-year old we're talking about. Then again, seriosuly, are 16-year olds always so dazed and blonde? Maybe she reminded me of present day me? Good gad! What a scary thought.

I know most people are raving about Edward Cullen, and I probably would too, if I were in teens or something. He sounds perfect, and also pretty much 2-dimensional.

I do hope it gets better. I keep falling asleep midway, and therefore has to go back again to listen to the parts I missed. At this rate, it would take me a month or so just to get through this whole thing.

I never really had a thing for Romeo and Juliet and their raging hormones and teenage angst.

(speaking of raging hormones, obviously an ex talk)
