i hate that it took so long to load that i forgotten the witty, cutting sentiment that i had to write down. I sit here and strain to remember it. I strain to remember why. Its like listening to music when you're working, background noise that you register but don't remember.
I don't feel valid in feeling this way, like i don't have the right to coz it was so fleeting. But it really wasn't. it was a culmination.
I wish he hadn't said buffy that time
Welcome to my hotness.

"they say absence makes the heart grow fonder.." "I hear sex can do that also"
I've been prowling my computer of late looking for something to do that's mot studying and happened to stumble upon a folder called "quotes." Its was a great find as late last year I begun collecting quotes that I liked. Now these aren't great works of thinkers like Confucius, but rather things I thought were funny or so right, or both. They come from Jane Austen, Gilmore Girls and Scrubs, and maybe some other oddments that I may find. I put them here because it not only gives me something to do (as it is only 11:33, and I am not tired, regardless of how many people tell me I should be in bed before 12. Enjoy all"Why not seize the pleasure at once? How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation?"-------Jane Austen
"What have wealth or grandeur to do with happiness?"------- Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility
"I am convinced that there is a vast deal of inconsistency in almost every human character."------- Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility
"There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the dependence that can be placed on the appearance of either merit or sense."------- Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
"Nobody minds having what is too good for them."------- Jane Austen, Mansfield Park
"She felt that she could so much more depend upon the sincerity of those who sometimes looked or said a careless or hasty thing, than of those whose presence of mind never varied, whose tongue never slipped."------- Jane Austen, Persuasion
"[She] is one of those young ladies who seek to recommend themselves to the other sex by undervaluing their own, and with many men, I dare say, it succeeds."------- Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
"I wonder who first discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love!"------- Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
The...the commonest, dullest, most threadbare topic might be rendered interesting by the skill of the speaker."------- Jane Austen, pride and Prejudice
"It is not time or opportunity that is to determine intimacy; - it is disposition alone. Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others."------- Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility
Ahhhh, I found some Buffy quotes! Joy upon Joy!
"Welcome to the mystery that is men. I think it goes something like, they grow body hair, they lose all ability to tell you what they really want." "It doesn't seem like a fair trade." -Buffy and Willow
"Cordelia, have you actually ever heard of tact?" "Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass."
"So, does looking at guns really make girls wanna have sex? That's scary." "Yeah, I guess." "Well, does looking at guns make you wanna have sex?" "I'm seventeen. Looking at linoleum makes me wanna have sex." -Cordelia and Xander
"Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage." -Oz
Oooh, I wish I had more buffy quotes!
Dr. Cox: Yes, m'lady?
JD: So? You feeling all glahh!?
Dr. Cox: That depends, does "glahh!" mean confused and incredibly annoyed? JD: Come on man, it's our last week together! The JD and Cox train is pulling into the station. You must have a metaphor you want to use, hit me with it. Dr. Cox: I suppose I could riff a list of things that I care as little about as our last week together. Let me see...eh...em.. low-carb diets, Michael Moore, the Republican National Convention, Kabbalah and all Kabbalah-related products, high-def TV, the Bush daughters, wireless hot spots, The O.C., the U.N., recycling, getting Punk'd, Danny Gans; the Latin Grammy's, the real Grammy's, Jeff that Wiggle who sleeps too darn much, the Yankees payroll, the Red States, the Blue States, every hybrid car, every talk show host, everything on the planet, everything in the solar system, and everything, everything, everything, everything everything, everything, everything, everything that exists, past, present and future in all discovered and undiscovered dimensions. Oh, and Hugh Jackman.
JD: Hugh Jackman's Wolverine! How dare he?
Gilmore girls for your guilty pleasure! Don't ignore them, read them! I know you want to
"You are like a mythological creature that casts some kind of spell on me and makes me act stupid. I'm not stupid. I don't act stupid with anyone else." - Max,
"Honey, someday when you're a little older you will be introduced to something that is extremely seductive but fickle. A fair-weather friend who seems benign but packs a wallop like a donkey kick, and that is the Long Island iced tea. The Long Island iced tea makes you do things that you normally wouldn't do, like lifting your skirt in public or calling someone you normally wouldn't call at really weird times." - Lorelai warns Rory,
"The plural of cul-de-sac is culs-de-sac? That doesn't even sound like English."
"That's because it's French."
"Whose phone calls or visits are never unwanted or too long? Do you see her face? Who would you most like to have in your life to ward off moments of loneliness? Do you see her face? When you travel, who would make your travels more enjoyable? Do you see her face?" - Luke's self help tape, "Luke Can See Her Face"
(ok, this may seem a little lame, but it has to be my favourite moment on the entire show, ever. Its so sweet, its at this moment that Luke finally stops denying his feelings for Lor, and does something about it! So So sweet. Actually, I lied, its on par with the episode where he tells the story about when he and Lor met and we find out that he had been carrying a horoscope that she had written on on the first day that they met, like 8 years ago. Awwwww. Its all about hope and pining for me. And people getting the guts to do something about it. I watch season one these days and go "it took four years!")
"ItÂs from my mother." "What is "s heavy. Must be her hopes and dreams for me." "I thought she discarded those years ago." - Lorelai and Rory get a delivery from Emily
"He's jealous. Oh my God, he's jealous, that's so great! ...I've never made a guy jealous before. I feel so powerful."
"Just remember, there's cute jealous and there's Othello." - Lane and Rory discuss Lane's womanly wiles
"I know you have very strict rules about dating and boys, but I just want you to know that I'm a good person. I don't smoke, I don't drink, I've never gotten a ticket, I'm healthy, I take care of myself, I floss. I never watch more than 30 minutes of television a night partly because I think it's a waste of time and partly because there's nothing on. I respect my parents, I do well in school, I never play video games in case they do someday prove that playing them can turn you into a serial killer. I don't drink coffee. I hate soda because the carbonation freaks me out. I'm happy to give up meat if you feel strongly about it. I don't mind wearing a tie. I enjoy playing those hymns on my guitar, and I really, really want to take your daughter to the prom." - Dave, giving his best shot to Mrs. Kim (dave was a character played by Adam Brody, who plays Seth Cohen. They were actually almost the same character (I don't think he has much acting range... shhhhh, don't tell) so this quote works better if you imagine him saying it)
Lorelai: Why should we date?
Max: Because we are attracted to each other.
Lorelai: I am attracted to pie, but I do not feel the need to date pie.
Rory: I just don't want to do or say anything else that's gonna be remotely moronic.
Lorelai: I'm afraid once your heart is involved, it all comes out in Moron.
Luke: Tradition is a trap that allows people to stick their heads in the sand. Everything in the past was so quaint, so charming. Times were simpler. Kids didn't have sex. Neighbors knew each other. It's a freaking fairy tale. Things sucked then too. It just sucked without indoor plumbing.
Rory: I think you're acting a little immature.
Lorelai: I'm not acting!
Lorelai: It was a mistake.
Emily: A mistake?! You call that a mistake!?
Lorelai: Well, I tried calling it Al, but it would only answer to 'Mistake.
"At some point in your life you're gonna have to decide that some guy is worth opening that front door for. I am just volunteering."
"It was a great kiss. If one of us had been a frog, it would have had some seriously impressive consequences."
"Those jeans are really working for you."
"Yeah!?!"
"They're working for me, too..."
"You're Flirting with me!"
"Something like that."
"Finally, so it some more"
"You're sho0es work really well with that shirt"
"Gee Carson, thanks"
"That's all I can do right now. People are watching. But tonight I will give you my extremely positive views on other aspects of your being."
"They say absence makes the heart grow fonder." "Yeah. Sex can do that also."
Rory: Do something to make me hate you!
Lorelai: Um, go Hitler?
Lorelai: Are you going to kiss me now? You are so incredibly predictable
Rory: Mom?
Lorelai: Oh.
Rory: You're happy.
Lorelai: Yeah.
Rory: Did you do something slutty?
Lorelai: I'm not that happy.
Lorelai: Heh, you know what I just realized? "Oy" is the funniest word in the entire world.
Rory: Hmm.
Lorelai: I mean think about it, you never hear the word "oy" and not smile. Impossible. Funny, funny word.
Emily: Oh dear God.
Lorelai: "Poodle" is another funny word.
Emily: Please drink your drink, Lorelai.
Lorelai: In fact, if you put "oy" and "poodle" together, in the same sentence, you'd have a great new catchphrase, you know? Like, "Oy with the poodles already."
Rory: Hehe.
Lorelai: So from now on, when the perfect circumstances arise, we will use our favorite new catchphrase:
Rory: Oy with the poodles already.
Lorelai: I'm telling you, it's knocking "Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?" right out of first place
So I know I already posted last year my favourite quotes on my other blog, and as I had that saved in that folder aswell, IÂm gonna add some of m favourite ones here too:
Danielle: It is not fair, sire. You have found my weakness, but i have yet to learn yours. Prince Henry: But I should think it was quite obvious. - EverAfter
You're not perfect sport, and let me save you the suspense, this girl you met, she isn't perfect either. But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other.-- Good Will Hunting
That's why they call them crushes. If they were easy, they'd call them something else -Sixteen Candles
Sometimes I wish I had never met you. Because then I could go to sleep at night not knowing there was someone like you out there. -Good Will Hunting
Pete: [to Tad] Like do you know she has six smiles? One when something really makes her laugh. One when she's making plans. One when she is laughing out of politeness. One when she is uncomfortable. One when she is making fun of herself. And one when... she's talking about her friends. - Win A Date with Tad Hamilton!
Rosalee: You have five smiles Pete. One when you think someone an idiot. One when you think someone's REALLY an idiot. One when you're singing to Barry White. One when you're getting all dressed up. And one when you're looking at me. - Win A Date with Tad Hamilton!
Love to all and sundry

long time no write
Its been a while since i last blogged here, coz i usually save this space for real emotional trauma, and i don't actually have a whole lot of that going for me at the moment. I've also taken to writing a real diary, which means that i don't need to write here anymore. The reason i write it in a real diary is coz the people/person that i write about reads this and if they read it then they wuld thing i'm more mental than i really am. Actually, not really am, just more mental than they thought i was.This is because i have the all powerful ablility to talk myself into somehting negative, that is probably just in my head. Like if i don't hear from someone, then they must hate me and i'd done something to upset them. Or if someone is late to meet me then they obviously hate me and are playing a cruel joke on me to punish me. Things like taht. It already happened to me three times in the last week, each varying slightly in their intensity and severity and the effect they have on my mood and reactions. the worst was monday night and was on the horrendous side of bad. Its amazing what ones brain can do with merely so slightly depressing music (oh my god Darren Hayes, could you be more screwed up?) and nothign but spider soliatre for company.
Ahhhh, thats enough. need to stop sitting in front of a screen reading gilmore girls quotes......
