the truth is out --

-- and i'm off to class.

[drum roll]

1. In junior high, I was asked to leave the chess club after throwing the white queen ( across the room. )

2. I once lied about my age in order to be allowed to work on a ( construction site. )

3. I've studied at least ( as many languages as I have fingers. )

4. I've had seven speeding tickets in four states, but never been responsible for an ( accident. )

5. I've never been cheated on by a boyfriend, but I've been cheated with, and when I realized I was the other woman I was ( angrier than I think I've ever been in my life. )

today's IMDb poll:

"Which fans, on average, do you think take their fandom too far in their daily lives?"

at the moment, star trek fans are out front with 48.7% (2065 votes); the non-specific "all fans" answer is a distant second, with 18.2% of the vote, and star wars fans are showing 12.1% of the vote. (none of the other contenders -- lord of the rings fans, rocky horror fans, matrix fans, harry potter fans, "other", and buffy fans -- has even broken 7%.)

you have to be registered to participate, and i'm not, but i found this amusing.

memo

to: everyone
from: fox

please pronounce the word tour correctly. the vowel is the same as the vowel in lure, not the vowel in lore. (the same is true of sure, by the way -- it is not pronounced the same way as shore.) i know it's spelled just like four, which really does rhyme with lore -- sorry about that. but, please, from this language, what did you expect?

thank you.

restraint

i need to go out, deposit a check, get some soda, make about eight zillion copies of papers i need to read at the library, etc.

i do not need to buy the extended two towers, first season west wing, or similar.

no. i don't.

no. i don't.

the temptation is actually so great that i'd rather not leave the house. except that i do have to deposit the check, make the copies, etc.
