20 Tid-bits about me (subject to change at a moment’s whim)
1) I own many journals, but most of them are blank.
2) I am anal retentive/OCD, whatever you want to call it. Certain things have a certain place and a certain order...
3) I have expensive taste (meaning when people ask me my opinion on something, and I give it to them, it’s usually the most expensive out of the choices)
4) I am Filipino/American. I’m sure I’m really more than that, but those are the two main ones.
5) I was baptized Catholic, but I don’t practice any sort of religion, but I do believe in some higher power (what is that? – agnostic? pagan?) and everyone’s right to their own religion.
6) I am known as the media whore to some of my friends.
7) I have an interest in languages although I don’t speak any other than English fluently.
8) Apparently, I’m competitive.
9) I like to spar with bamboo swords (like in kendo).
10) I believe that people of the opposite sex can be friends even if either or both are in a relationship/married.
11) Insult my intelligence, I kick your ass.
12) I’m a blood-thirsty whore… meaning, I love action movies where there are lots of fighting, martial arts, explosions, and bloody dismemberment. (Like Kill Bill: Vol. 1 - LOVED THAT.)
13) I love *turtles* and dragons.
14) I make lumpia (which is like crack apparently in which everyone knows what it is and wants a lot of it).
15) I will not have cybersex with you so don’t even bother.
16) I have annoyingly long curly hair.
17) I am a tomboy (with the occasional feminine tendencies).
18) I have dreams of being a writer and a voice-over actress (so anyone with connections to a publishing house or PIXAR… fork ‘em over)
19) I can be blunt, strange, crude, and casual. If anything about my personality bothers you, then talk to me instead of just assuming I’m something that I probably am not.
20) I have obsessions with Hugh Jackman, Maroon 5, television, Pixar, Neil Gaiman, books, music, theatre, and movies… just to name a few. (And cleaning... but only when I'm upset or bored.)

gir is love.

Mr. Incredible: No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved! You know, for a little bit? I feel like the maid; I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for... for ten minutes!
Dash: Dad always said our powers were nothing to be ashamed of. Our powers made us special.
Helen: Everyone's special, Dash.
Dash: Which is another way of saying no-one is.
[Bob notices the little boy on the tricycle staring at him for the second day in a row]
Bob: Well, what are *you* waiting for?
Little Boy on Tricycle: I don't know. Something amazing, I guess.
Bob: Me too, kid.
Mirage: He's not weak, you know.
Syndrome: What?
Mirage: Valuing life is not weakness.
Syndrome: Oh, hey, look, look, if you're talking about what happened in the containment unit, I had everything under control.
Mirage: And disregarding it is not strength.
Syndrome: Look, I called his bluff, sweetheart, that's all. I knew he wouldn't have it in him to actually...
Mirage: [through her teeth] Next time you gamble, bet *your own* life.
Edna: What are you talking about? You are Eliasti-girl! My god! Pull yourself together! 'What will you do?' Is this a question? You will show him that you remember that he's Mr. Incredible, and you will remind him who *you* are. You know where he is, go and cofront the problem. Fight. Win! And do call me when you get back, Darling. I enjoy our visits.
The Scotsman: [to Samurai Jack] Mr. Pajama-wearing, basket-face, slipper-wielding, clype-dreep-bachle, gather-uping-blate-maw, bleathering, gomeril, jessie, oaf-looking, scooner, nyaff, plookie, shan, milk-drinking, soy-faced, shilpit, mim-moothed, sniveling, worm-eyed, hotten-blaugh, vile-stoochie, cully-breek-tattie.
-- from the animated series "Samurai Jack"
Lorne: Oh really? Well I am not some mystical vending machine, here to spit out answers every time you waltz in with a problem. I have a heart. Granted, it’s located in my left buttcheek, but it’s still a heart, and that heart is broken. I mean, why is it nobody ever cares about my destiny? Everyone who walks through that door is all about ‘me, me, me’ - what about my me? My me’s important!
-- from "Angel: the series", episode "Fredless"
Lorne: Isn’t this just the sort of ‘tude that got you where you are now? I think I’m speaking for everyone when I say if all you’re gonna do is switch back to brood mode, we’d rather have you evil. Then at least - leather pants.
-- from "Angel: the series", episode "Epiphany"
Cordelia: I think it, I say it. That’s my way.
-- from "Angel: the series", episode ~The Bachelor Party
Buffy: You know what? I was wrong. You are an idiot. My life happens, on occasion, to suck beyond the telling of it. Sometimes more than I can handle. Oh, it’s not just mine. Every single person down there is ignoring your pain because they are dealing with their own. The beautiful ones. The popular ones. The guys that pick on you. Everyone. If you could hear what they are feeling. The loneliness. The confusion. It looks quiet down there. Its not. Its deafening.
-- from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", episode "Earshot"
Spike: I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you and I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You are a hell of a woman. You’re the one, Buffy.
-- from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", episode "Touched"
[Buffy has said that Spike only loved her because she was unattainable]
Spike: You listen to me. I've been alive a bit longer than you, and dead a lot longer than that. I've seen things you couldn't imagine, and done things I'd prefer you didn't. I don't exactly have a reputation for being a thinker; I follow my blood, which does not always rush in the direction of my head. So I've made a lot of mistakes. A lot of wrong bloody calls. A hundred plus years, only one thing I've ever been sure of. You. Look at me. I'm not asking you for anything. When I tell you that I love you, it's not because I want you, or 'cause I can't have you, it has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try... I've seen your strength, and your kindness, I've seen the best and the worst of you and I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You are a hell of a woman. You're the one, Buffy.</b>
Buffy: I don't... I don't want to be the one.
Spike: I don't want to be this good-looking and athletic. We all have crosses to bear.
-- from the last season of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
The First: I know why they grab at each other. To feel. I want to feel. I want to wrap my hands around an innocent neck and feel it crack.
-- from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", episode "Touched"
Willy Wonka: We are the music-makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.
-- from the movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"
Lorelai: Reality has absolutely no place in our world.
-- from "The Gilmore Girls", episode "Ballroom & Biscotti"
Dan: Actions are immoral. Opinions are not. And I won’t apologize for mine. Discussion is good, and for those of us fortunate enough to be the subject of magazine articles, it may be our responsibility from time to time to try and raise the level of debate.
-- from "Sports Night", episode "The Apology"
Casey: I apologize for nothing. Well, that’s not true, I apologize for some things, but not a lot of things, a few things, several things. I apologize for about half the things.
-- from the show "Sports Night", episode "Intellectual Property"
Natalie: Then allow for the possibility that from time to time other people might be at least as smart as you are.
-- from "Sports Night", episode "Small Town"
Dib: [gasping] Sorry I'm late... horrible... nightmare visions!
Ms. Bitters: It's called life, Dib. Now sit down.
-- from the animated series "Invader Zim"
Sam: How do you become something you're not?
George: What do you want to become?
Sam: What I'm not.
George: What are you now?
Sam: I'm nothing.
-- from the movie "Life As A House"
Debi: You know what you need?
Marty: What?
Debi: Shakabuku.
Marty: You wanna tell me what that means?
Debi: It's a swift, spiritual kick to the head that alters your reality forever.
Marty: Oh, that'd be good. I think.
-- from the movie "Gross Pointe Blank"
Debi: Where are all the good men dead, in the heart or in the head?
-- from the movie "Gross Pointe Blank"
[Practicing in a mirror before his high school reunion]
Marty: Hi. I'm, uh, I'm a pet psychiatrist. I sell couch insurance. Mm-hmm, and I - and I test-market positive thinking. I lead a weekend men's group, we specialize in ritual killings. Yeah, you look great! God, yeah! Hi, how are you? Hi, how are you? Hi, I'm Martin Blank, you remember me? I'm not married, I don't have any kids, and I'd blow your head off if someone paid me enough.
-- from the movie "Gross Pointe Blank"
Debi: If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it's, well, broken.
-- from the movie "Gross Pointe Blank"
Jane: Man, She really did a number on you didn't she? Well, don't shit on my broken heart just because you converted to some warped brand of romantic atheism!
Eddie: It's called self-preservation.
Jane: Oh, in other words, your narcotize yourself with casual sex.
-- from the movie "Someone Like You"
Eddie: It's over. Why can't you just let it go?
Jane: I can't.
Eddie: Why?
Jane: Because I was happy. Because if this theory is wrong, men don't leave all women, Eddie, they leave me.
Eddie: I know it hurts. I know. It's so hard to believe that something that wonderful can ever happen to us again.
-- from the movie "Someone Like You"
Kate: I'm not very good with men.
Leopold: Perhaps you haven't found the right one.
Kate: Maybe. Or, uh...maybe that whole love thing is just a grown-up version of Santa Claus; just a myth we've been fed since childhood. So, we keep buying magazines, joining clubs, and doing therapy and watching movies with hit pop songs played over love montages all in a pathetic attempt to explain why our love Santa keeps getting caught in the chimney.
-- from the movie "Kate & Leopold"
Kate: Sunday is the day before the day I work, so it gets poisoned.
-- from the movie "Kate & Leopold"
Jane: Most people don't like to walk next to me.
Richard: Yeah, and why is that?
Jane: It implies friendship.
-- from the movie "The Theory of Flight"
Ed: When I was going up the stairs, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today, I wish, I wish he'd go away.
-- from the movie "Identity"
Rob: I'm tired of the fantasy, because it doesn't really exist. And there are never really any surprises, and it never really...
Laura: Delivers?
Rob: Delivers. And I'm tired of it. And I'm tired of everything else for that matter. But I don't ever seem to get tired of you, so...
-- from the movie "High Fidelity"
Customer: Do you have Soul?
Rob: That all depends.
-- from the movie "High Fidelity"
Rob: If you *really* wanted to screw me up, you should've gotten to me *earlier*.
-- from the movie "High Fidelity"

John Stewart is freaking brilliant love.
Made By-
The view from my apartment was the World Trade Center and now it’s gone. They attacked it. This symbol of American ingenuity and strength and labor and imagination and commerce and it is gone. But you know what the view is now? The Statue of Liberty. The view from the south of Manhattan is now the Statue of Liberty. You can’t beat that."
-- Jon Stewart (in reference to the events of 09-11-01) from "The Daily Show"
Andrew Largeman: So what do we do? What do we do?
Sam: If you can't laugh at yourself, life is going to seem a whole lot longer than you'd like.
Andrew Largeman: You know that point in your life when you realize that the house that you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of the sudden even though you have some place where you can put your stuff that idea of home is gone.
Sam: I still feel at home in my house.
Andrew Largeman: You'll see when you move out it just sort of happens one day one day and it's just gone. And you can never get it back. It's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't exist. I mean it's like this rite of passage, you know. You won't have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for you kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. I miss the idea of it. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place.
Sam: What's the word that's burning in your heart?
Sam: You're in it right now, aren't you?
Andrew Largeman: What?
Sam: My mom always says that, when she can see I'm like working something out in my head, she's like, 'you're in it right now' and I'm looking at you're telling this story, and you're definitely in it.
Sam: This is Tickle.
Andrew Largeman: What is Tickle?
Sam: Tickle is my favorite thing in the whole world. It's all that's left of Nanny, my blanket.
Andrew Largeman: Tickle is all that remains. Was there a hurricane or something?
Sam: Shut up!
Andrew Largeman: You know, this necklace makes me think of this totally random memory of my mother. I was a little kid, and I was crying for one reason or another. And she was cradling me, rocking me back and forth, and I can just remember the silver balls rolling around. And there was like snot running down my nose. And she offered me her sleeve and told me to blow my nose into it. And I can remember, even as a little kid, thinking to myself, this is love... this is love.
Andrew Largeman: Fuck, this hurts so much.
Sam: I know it hurts. But it's life, and it's real. And sometimes it fucking hurts, but it's life, and it's pretty much all we got.
Dr. Cohen: Of course you're all right. You're alive.
Mark: I'm okay with being unimpressive. I sleep better.
Andrew Largeman: [about to swallow a tab of ecstasy] I guess I'll see you guys later.
