My boyfriend just bought us two front and center tickets to see Evil Dead: the Musical during my winter break. We're in the splatter zone (it was agreed that, though not very practical, we're not bringing a change of clothes after because it will be a lot more fun to go places covered in fake blood). He knows how to win me over. I was so excited, I flailed and screamed and almost fell off the stool on which I was sitting and doing math.


SPLATTER ZONE!!!!


Also, the next day, I might be seeing Gogol Bordello at Irving Plaza. I think I might piss myself.

Alright OKGarmy, I'm calling on your help yet again to solve a Ken v. Amy conundrum.

Situation: Sometimes, when short on cash, people movie hope (i.e. seeing one movie and then sneaking into another). At the AMC near our town, upon buying a ticket, when one goes to the hallway with the theatres, the ticket person rips the ticket in half and gives you back half. When one goes out to buy popcorn, you can flash the stub and get in without the guy having to check you. I discovered that one can buy a ticket, go see a show, leave with the stub, and come back another time to see a movie for free by simply flashing the stub and walking in (since so many people go there, the ticket people don't remember who has already gone in and who left). In this case, assume that I limit myself to one movie per already ripped stub, so I'm not seeing 20 movies for the price of one, just, as with movie hopping, two for one.

The question: Is one scenario more deviant/wrong than the other?

Ken's side: In the second case, one is behaving in a more deviant manner, sneaking in with a ripped ticket without paying for any movie that day.

My side: Both are just as bad. In both cases, you are paying for one movie, but seeing two.

(The funny thing is, he asked me to post here since I told him about the past argument concerning puking and we determined you all to be a fair judge and jury.)

Again, the fate of the argument lies in YOUR capable hands.

Guys, I'm starting to get that weird feeling in my stomach, where I'm hungry but I can't eat anything and I constantly feel like I'm going to throw up.

I ate yesterday (a few slices of salami, a cucumber, a little bit of bread, a pastal de nata 'cause I can't resist those, chocolate pudding, four small slices of toast), but not a lot. Same thing on Saturday- I ate two bowls of muesli, maybe a yogurt, salad, and a bunch of spinach/mushroom gratin, which really doesn't count as anything, 'cause it was all spinach.

The last time I got this feeling (though, albeit, about a million times stronger) was when Rob broke up with me three years ago. From about my birthday to the first weekend of December, all I could stomach was half a sandwich each day. I lost 20 pounds in two weeks.




btw, I never posted about that. Um, for those who don't know, I realised that three years ago on the 16th (I remember the day, 'cause it's my friend's birthday) was when Rob broke up with me six days before my 18th birthday for my best friend of six years, thus precipitating one of the most difficult periods of my life. I was really depressed and it took my a looooooooong time to get over it. And every now and then, I still feel the effects of it, because it changed me so much.

But in the long run, it was a good thing. Here are the things I wouldn't be doing/wouldn't have, etc. had he not broken up with me:

*I would not have become friends with Jeremy, Stacy, or Perrine, or have gotten closer to Jacki or Jessica.
*I wouldn't have wasted summer nights at Stacy's place the following summer, which are some of the best memories I have.
*I wouldn't be so into music.
*I wouldn't be listening to OK Go.
*And following the above, I wouldn't be posting on this board and I wouldn't know any of you guys.
*Also following the OK Go one, I wouldn't be going to this many concerts, if any.
*Also also follwing OK Go, I wouldn't be listening to Scamper, The Sun, Rufus, Tally Hall, or The Lashes, nor would I be interested in about a billion other bands that have influenced them/that they talk about a lot.
*I wouldn't have lost twenty pounds (as much as it sucks how I did lose it).

Um, there are other things, but those are the main ones.


Amy: I think I'm with Ken again. Leaving and coming back another day is slightly more deviant.

Jedi_grrlie, if you could only see the DISGUSTING oral pathology slides I'm looking at right now, you'd have a reason for not eating. Must I Jewish mother you by forcing you to eat? Is French food really that bad, lol? But seriously, is there anything wrong? Poor thing *hugs*

I'd do it if i had the Grivitas... but i dont.
and pshhhh... it costs 10 bucks to go to a movie where im at, i say its justification for a such a high price.

but.. if you see for the pleasure of your company or For your consideration please support them with full on ticket price... just because Micheal Ian black and Eugene levy deserves it...

Oh definitely! Movies that I have been excited for or really support, I ALWAYS pay for, esp. if they are little indie films without much of a budget anyway. It's usually films like Elf or Hitch that I snuck into. Or Scary Movie 3. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh my god, I love MIB wayyyy too much. Do you read McSweeney's?

+1 for Kenneth.

Oh sweetie, I don't know what to tell you except that if you need someone to talk to, I'm here to listen if you need it. Really, that's the best I can offer.

It's so weird to think of how decisions and events can change you so drastically. I actually was having a conversation about this last night. There is such a long string of seemingly random events that make up who you are. What if you had never met Barry? What if you had decided to skip over OK Go or never joined the Boards? What if you had decided not to go to Paris? Or, going back further, what if you had decided not to go to Smith? There's a whole string of things that seem so out of our control, but at the same time, you are who you are because of these decisions. YOU were the one who made them. YOU are the one that can decide where your life goes, as trite as that is.

Alright, I'm babbling without being helpful.

I'm so sorry you're feeling this way hun, and if there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

I didn't know you were a vegetarian! I have a friend who was vegan for about 9 months or so. It was insane. Unfortunately, I love meat way too much to give it up. I'm vaguely anemic, so cutting out meat really isn't an option anyway.

I like making excuses for my inability to give up the meat. I CAN STOP ANY TIME I WANT TO.

im also always on the verge of being anemic!


and ive not eaten meat for like 17 years or sumthing


and thats only cause the parents gave me the meat when i was a young one and had no say in it

Shit! That's amazing! Really, I have so much respect for anyone who has enough self-restraint to be vegetarian. Congrats Pandy!

I understand. I used to get to play the game, "GUESS WHERE YOUR MEAT CAME FROM!" whenever I went out to eat with my vegetarian friend (she has since realized that the game really wasn't that effective and just made us angry). I've just always been taught that animals are for eating (my grandma lived in Ukraine for most of her life and had no problem killing the chickens she had for a while in her yard and making soup. Kind of traumatizing). But really, to each his own and I completely admire vegetarians; it makes me feel bad knowing the rather disgusting process by which animals are slaughtered and yet I still eat meat. I just don't think I'd be able to become vegetarian in a healthy way. We'll see.

It is really weird to think about that, and it's something I've given some thought to. I believe that everything that happens in life is half your decision, half destiny/fate. You make your own decisions but whatever decisions you make, they change what's coming ahead in your life, if that makes sense. And you start over again.

If Rob hadn't broken up with me, I wouldn't have started watching Queer Eye (because for the entire month of December 2003, that was the only thing that cheered me up), if I hadn't started watching that show, I wouldn't have wanted to buy the soundtrack three months before it came out, if I hadn't wanted to buy the soundtrack that badly, I wouldn't have tried to download it, and if I hadn't done that, I wouldn't have dled OK Go and I wouldn't have spent an inordinate amount of time screaming along to "You're So Damn Hot" in my basement, because a few lines ("You don't love me at all/But don't think that bothers me at all/You're a bad-hearted boytrap, babydoll/But ysdh") made me think of my ex.

And that lead all over the place, including to here. I still wish I could go back to December 2003 when I first discovered the web site and join the Boards then. I'm sorta' kicking myself that I didn't do that, haha.

If I hadn't gone to Smith, and if I hadn't roomed with the person I did last year, I wouldn't have met Barry. We met because we sat next to each other, completely randomly, at a play. I almost didn't go that night; my roommate was in two one-acts, and I was going to go see the second one the next day, but my friend Lorna convinced me that it would be nice if I went both nights. Then we kept running into each other on campus, and things just sort of clicked.

It's one of those instances that makes me believe in fate. Yeah, I made the decision to go to the show, but because I did that, I was going to meet him. If that makes sense.
