Random Poetry -- A New MP3 Player Game

Stole this from Heather on (what else?) Facebook...And, wow, now that I just completed it, this actually sounds like an awesomely bad emo poem that would get published on someone's MySpace. How frightening that it comes from music I listen to...

1. Set your MP3 player on random
2. write down the first line of the first 20 songs
3. make spacing adjustments
4. copy down your poem

There's a hatchet, got a knife.
Every time I call you on the phone,
The wind hit my back, as cold as I remember.

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain,
And is this where we need to be.
This is the only lonely picture waiting on my floor.

What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak?

Do you have the time to listen to me whine?
She thinks I'm much too thin.
We made plans to be unbreakable.

Take my photo off the wall.
I hate feeling like this,
Over-zealous, to say the least.

Taking off, heading out of this town,
It feels right.
My breath smells of a thousand fags.

You think I'm crazy because I love you.

You listen in to what we have to say,
You're all just staring, angry faces, begging for a place to die.
Take this heart of darkness, I give it up.

Movie Survey (Stolen from Andy...)

Really, how can I resist? It's about movies!

What was the last movie you watched in a theater?
Wow...Um...Synecdoche, New York. And not even when it was in REAL theaters, but when my school had a free preview of it! I'm seeing Benjamin Button that way this Thursday!

Who is your favorite James Bond?
Recently, it changed to Daniel Craig. I LOVE this bad@$ Bond! Before then, it was Roger Moore, for no real reason I can state.

What was the last DVD that you bought for yourself?
Just got the Indiana Jones box set, sans the latest one because the 4-movie version cost $20 more, and I can DEFINITELY get the newest one for less than $20!

Do you remember the last time you watched a movie on VHS, if so, what was it?
Oy. I think Beauty and the Beast was screened on VHS in my Disney class because the DVD freaked out.

How many of the Matrix movies have you seen?
All three. The first one was magical. The last two...Do not exist to me.

Do you talk during movies?
Not in theaters. I can't stand it. If I'm watching at home, yeah.

Do you have Netflix?
Hellz yes!

In your opinion, do movie adaptations ever live up to the book it’s based on?
On the fantasy side, they can't, just because your imagination will always outdo what's physically possible. But more "realistic" books, sure.

Ever taken a date to a movie that turned out to be just God awful?
No, lol, unless you count the time we couldn't make it to the theater on time. :-P
