So, in the spirit of my earlier meme post, I give you the most romantic gesture to be in a film ever:
I refuse to believe that he doesn't have at least some genuine feelings for her at this point. Why, oh why did I leave my copy of this at home?!?!?!
Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile."
• I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity.
• Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
• Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

And next, the Holiday Wishlist Meme that I've seen a couple times on my flist.
( The Rules )
( My Wishlist )
They also had a sale going on: 30% off on all used movies, CDs and books AND buy 2 movies, get 1 for $1. I ended up getting the extended edition ofLord of the Rings: The Two Towers(because I only had the other two extended editions), Good Night, and Good luck, and The Cutting Edge(DON'T LIE; YOU KNOW YOU LOVE IT).
Also, we think that there's someone from
( Our Photographic Evidence )
( More GQ Pictures )
So, without further ado, a little something I snagged from
The first ten people to comment, give me a request for a picture to be taken of something in my life.
The only catch is - no pictures of myself. It has to be of objects in my daily life. Then I will take pictures of the requested things, and post them in a separate entry.
Then those 10 people who requested photos have to post this same challenge in their own journal, with 1 additional rule (of their own choosing). The 10 people who comment on that entry, have to add ANOTHER rule of their own, and so on and so forth.
I think my extra rule shall be that, if at all possible, try to pick something outdoors, but that's not something to be set in stone.
Oh, and to all the folks on my flist participating in Yuletide, I heard that assignments were going out today, and I hope you all get really good ones.
ETA: You totally don't have to do the meme if you don't want to; I just want to take pictures of stuff.
Also, a big thank you to
Oh and one more thing:
Dear CBS,
Please put How I Met Your Mother up on your site so I don't have to resort to other measures in order to watch it. It's kind of sad when NBC beats you in this department.
Sincerely,
Neesha
But enough about that; apparently Stephen Fry was on The Late Late Show on Wednesday for his book Stephen Fry in America, in which he talks about going to all 50 states. I want to know when he was in New Mexico and Virginia because if I had known, I would been all over that.
( Click Here for Stephen Fry Being Absolutely Adorable! )
And now I'm off to see A Christmas Carol with some folks from the dorms.
I'll try to keep up using the computer pods on campus, but it's probably a safe bet that I won't be around until the weekend, at most. I just figured I'd let you all know because I was halfway through commenting on people's entries when it happened, and I didn't want you to think I was ignoring anyone.
As I don't have a formal introduction post-I really should get on that-here's a little bit about me. I'm Neesha, and I'm a sophomore at the University of New Mexico majoring in Anthropology. If it's on television, there's a very good chance I've seen at least a couple episodes of it at some point in time. I also have fairly eclectic taste in music, and I have a deep abiding love for musicals. I usually post on the crazy random stuff that occurs in the life of a college student and stuff I think you all might find interesting.
As a little ice breaker, feel free to tell me something random that happened today. In my case, we got locked out of our Spanish classroom and had class out by the duck pond; thank goodness it's still nice out.
Do you see the calender? It says it's October. Now take a look outside. As you can probably see, it's snowing outside. Now, I'm no meteorologist, but I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be snowing in October. Please fix this, as I just learned I lack a complete pair of gloves.
Sincerely,
Neesha
ETA: 30 Minutes later, and it's still going strong.
Well,
I figured some of you-*cough*
( You've got to put down the duckie if you want to play the saxophone! )
And I'm off for three days of Colorado fun! I'm kind of nervous about the bus ride, but the awesomeness that will ensue when I get there far outweighs any apprehensions I may have. There will definitely be a Rocky Mountains pic spam when I get back; despite the fact that I grew up a couple hours from the Blue Ridge Mountains, I'm fascinated with the mountains out west.
As always, feel free to link me to anything nifty that occurs over the weekend, and I hope everyone has a great weekend!
For Your Time:
I just found this song on Youtube, and it's like I'm five again. This was my favorite song when I was little, and I think I love it more now because I recognize some of the celebrities. How so awesome, Jeremy Irons? Also, there's bonus Pete Seeger, John Candy (he's the first one), and Danny DeVito.
NHL.com has 50% off on custom jerseys for TODAY ONLY! I am sorely tempted to get a Steckel jersey, but I just don't think it's a good idea right now.
In other news, I went with my friend Taylor to pick up her new puppy from the shelter. Her name's Nala, and she's precious!
I have my Halloween costume all planned out, and I'm pretty excited about it. I'm going to be always-a-girl!Scotty. The way I see it, I'm not tan enough for Uhura, and I already have a red screwdriver. Plus, I kind of rock the dress, if I do say so myself.
All I need now are some black boots, which I've been meaning to to buy anyways. They have some super cute ones at Kohl's and DSW.
However, my roommate has been kind of judgmental lately, so I feel like I'm one step away from a lecture about my "meaningless, consumer-driven life", which will only be worth it if she uses that exact phrase-I do love 10 Things I Hate About You. I'm definitely going to have to talk to her soon; it's Awkward City over here.
Also, I'm going to Colorado for fall break! I bought the tickets last night, so I leave at 1:00AM next Friday morning to get in Fort Collins by 1:00PM. I'll have most of that Friday, all Saturday, and half of Sunday until my bus leaves at 4:10PM. I've never used Greyhound before, so it'll be a learning experience.
NHL Power Rankings: Week 2 I like this. I like this a lot.
I saw Three Rivers today, and I liked it. However, I would just like to note that babies delivered at 28 weeks weigh in at a pound, pound and a half tops. I know that asking for realism in television is a bit much, but that giant baby was kind of distracting.
I went to the Balloon Glow yesterday, but it was canceled due to the wind. They still had the fireworks display, so we stayed for that. It was a really cool display and definitely nicer than my town's 4th of July display.

JUST GOT BACK FROM SEEING FAME.
IF YOU ONLY SEE ONE DANCE MOVIE IN YOUR LIFE, THIS (and the original) IS IT.
THAT IS ALL.
With all the tests, fire alarms, and emergency room visits-one of the duckies had gall bladder issues-I am so behind on all my television. However, my friend Phil is lending me this thing that allows you to watch TV on your laptop; I can't wait to try it out.
And now I have a question for all the Americans on my flist: has anyone ever used Greyhound before and if so, how was the experience?
I ask because I'm working out a trip to Fort Collins, CO, to visit my friend Kevne at CSU. We went to high school together, and she's one of the eight other people from back home who lives in the general vicinity of New Mexico. I don't know if I've ever mentioned this before but living this far away from Virginia gets a little lonely at times, and sometimes I just need to see a familiar face from back home. Anyway, it's looking to be about 9-11 hours for both legs of the trip and it's actually pretty reasonable. Now I just have to find a weekend that works.
Well, we have the NMSU game tomorrow, which should be good since it's the only game we're expected to win. Thank goodness for the weekend!
Anyways, I found this, and thought it might be relevant to your interests:
Well, Thursday came along and it was all out of steak and cheesecake.
In other words, MY KARL POSTER ARRIVED!!!!! WAY EARLIER THAN EXPECTED!!!!!!
And the best part is, now Neil Patrick Harris has a friend!
I predict that they will have legendary adventures of intense awesomeness!

In as little as one week, Dr. Leonard Horatio McCoy, aka KARL URBAN, will be gracing my dorm room with his presence in poster form.
We now return you to your regularly-scheduled programming.
