Friday Five (.org)
1. Where were you born? Chesterfield, MO, St. Luke’s Hospital.
2. If you still live there, where would you rather move to? If you don’t live there, do you want to move back? Why or why not?Well, I don’t really live in Chesterfield, I live in Affton, which is quite a difference income bracket-wise, but it’s still “St. Louis.” I like it here. Whereas most of my high school friends were dying to get outta Dodge, I just went about 20 minutes away to Wash U. And I still like it. I like being near my parents, I like knowing where everything is. But if I had to move I think I would go to Colorado or Montana or something like that; find my own ranch, and raise horses and go hiking alot. But I’d have to have the internet 😉
3. Where in the world do you feel the safest? Safest? I think I’m safe wherever I go because I am confident in my abilities to defend myself. Or if it comes to it, run away.
4. Do you feel you are well-traveled?Erm. No. I wish I was. I want to travel more. I did recently figure out that I had been to a quarter of the states in the US, but I haven’t really “lived there”.
5. Where is the most interesting place you’ve been? hmm. probably the museum of science and industry in Chicago. I absolutely love that place. I just wish I could stay there for a few days, with the place all to myself. But townwise? Probably Paris.

I’m

a Ravenclaw!
[i'm legolas!]
I am Legolas Greenleaf, Prince of Mirkwood, representative of the Elves in the Fellowship of the Ring. I contributed my archery skills, keen senses and prettiness to the Company, so don’t you start. In the movie, I’m played by Orlando Bloom.

from Meg, the forwarder of all things weird and wacky, and maybe even true…

How sexy is Your Name? According to studies, the first letter of your first name reveals your sexual identity… What do you think?

J > > You are totally fucking marvelous! > > >

Alright, I’ll take that… I have to say that this was the shortest entry of all the letters. Enough said, I suppose…

today was totally new. Since JJ went back to China for three weeks, it’s nigh on impossible to continue the experiments that we were doing, and they were going wrong anyway, so now I’m working with Yun Shin. I learned alot today, not just (supposedly) how to set up a colony hybridization experiment (hey, I was (watching Yun Shin) working with radioactive labels!) and how to pick a bacterial colony…. and how to make agar plates. I also found out that my boss (hereafter referred to as my PI, or primary investigator) is four months pregnant. So possibly that accounts for her moodiness. Also found out that she’s married to someone who works in the same building. They seem very disparate, so I hope they’re happy. Also found out for sure that she’s Korean, not Chinese. Which is fine. I just don’t think I could handle the food.
Because I love her, visit my mom’s site: Betty Shew: PaperArt.

The Elaborate Life of Kim Kim says this is a way to spot a true New Jerseyan (jerseyite? jerseyon?)
You know that a “White Castle” is the name of BOTH a fast food chain AND a fast food sandwich…

umm, hello, St. Louis is famous for White Castle! Of course I knew that. Course, we usually call them belly bombers…

Ring Thing

Standard

You occasionally hear the charge that FOTR is, in essence, “an action movie” dressed up in Middle Earth garb, and lost the epic scope of the books. There is also the opposite charge: that there isn’t enough action in the film, that people got a bit restless in parts. *Any* truth to either?
Well, I don’t think FotR is strictly an action movie; rather it’s just trying to tell a story, which is, for the most part, action-filled. I think it did a pretty good job of keeping the “epicness” of the book, while explaining it to new fans. However, there are parts where you wish it would get a move on… although I noticed that more in the second and third books, not necessarily in the first movie.
I just wanted to see more Legolas, so of course, any scene that he’s not in is too long.
I’m not really that shallow. I just appreciate a good portrayal of Elves.
