That Crucial Movie meme...


Stolen from everyone:

Everyone should post their ten most CRUCIAL CRUCIAL CRUCIAL-ASS movies, like the movies that explain everything about yourselves in your current incarnations (not necessarily your ten favorite movies but the ten movies that you, as a person existing currently, feel would help people get to know you) (they can change later on obviously).

The Mission (Faith & Redemption)
Driving Miss Daisy (Unlikely Friendships, Changing Southern Culture)
Fast and Furious (franchise) (Family first, family you choose)
Flatliners (Guilt & Reconciliation, Challenging the limits)
Grand Canyon (Everyday Miracles)
My Beautiful Laundrette (Something from nothing, self determination)
I Am Sam (Unperfect perfect families)
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Myth/Folklore shifting)
Norma Rae (Making a difference, underdogs, unions)
Dune (epic storytelling)

(I had a hard time picking 10,as I don't think I'm that complicated, so I kind of went with what interests me.)

Also, hi How are you? Thank you for all the kind birthday wishes last month! Still not dead, just more boring than usual. Still watching Supernatural, raising the grandchild (She's already 1 year old almost! How the heck did that happen?) Still in love with the amazing Becky. Working too many hours but otherwise content. How's life in your corner of the world?

So, there's this meme. And there's a bunch of new people on my flist, and if you are new, in addition to this, I'd suggest that you check out the 100 and 10 things you should know about me. They haven't been updated recently, some of them are repetivie, but most of them still hold true. You will notice, with them and this, that there's really not a whole lot about myself I'm not willing to talk about. In truth, I'm sure some of my nearest and dearest would occasionally wish I would shut the hell up and talk about the weather or my cats. *g*

Stolen from everywhere (but mostly from gekizetsu:

Ask me a question about one of my stories. It can be absolutely anything in ANY fic and I will tell you the honest-to-God answer. Don’t hold back. Ask about my plans for future parts of my current series if you want to. (but keep in mind, I may not have anything firm/definite in the works) Anything. Whatever you ask, I will try my best to answer.

( In case there was any doubt, I'm enjoying the hell out of these! )

You can also ask anonymous questions in the comments if you prefer. They'll be screened until I respond, but they will be anonymous.

The fabulous ryuutchi instructed my lame self on how to make the text box longer.


( So, now you can ask me more! (poll beneath cut) )

( The first set of questions (and their attendant answers.) )

I hardly ever do these because I have little time to reciprocate but I've added my name to the "First Impressions" meme. You can find my link [[here]].

I blame makesmewannadie for this. I originally did this meme in 2002, so if you read it then.... Very little has changed...except that my mother died in 2003.
