PERSONAL QUOTES
"I don't really like to go out very much. I'm not scandalous. I'm not, like, in this to be famous. I also find it so embarrassing when you read about people and it's like they were so trashed at Skybar and stumbling around. I don't want to be that person. That's just so embarrassing to have that written about you."

"I love old music, old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothes, and basically I'm an old-fashioned gal."

"I don't want to go to another roller-coaster ride of a movie. If I want that, I'll go to Magic Mountain. I'm really interested in the young directors that are doing different things in cinema. I think the movies people will hold onto are the Rushmores and the Being John Malkoviches. Those are the kind of films I want to do; that's what I'm passionate about."

Thanks for the new one!

obthavariable · 03-13-2012, 11:43 AM

You're welcome.

So last time you joked that you wouldn't have time to find stuff for the new OP, but it turned out to be true!

your creation · 03-13-2012, 11:50 AM

I wan't lying, I knew it wouldn't happen

obthavariable · 03-13-2012, 12:08 PM

Well then, leave it up to me in that case.

your creation · 03-13-2012, 12:10 PM

Nah, I've already asked someone to do the arts. She just doesn't have access to her computer right now. When she does, she'll do them though. You can help us if you want, more than happy to have more help/

obthavariable · 03-13-2012, 12:14 PM

How can I help? Finding pics for her to work on?

your creation · 03-13-2012, 12:15 PM

I don't know yet tbh, she's good at getting pics anyway. She did some art for the Zooey thread at New Girl.

obthavariable · 03-13-2012, 12:33 PM

Okay, just let me know.

your creation · 03-13-2012, 01:01 PM

I shall do, and hopefully she can get to it soon

obthavariable · 03-13-2012, 08:11 PM

Haha, tonight's episode was definitely about the other half of Schimdt that is not in me.

I am totally not a clean or organizing freak in any way.

I can definitely clean well, and I will leave a place or room looking superb if I work on it, but it's only with a strong incentive.

**Enigma** · 03-13-2012, 08:58 PM

TFTNT

Didn't see tonight's ep yet. I'm a total clean and organizing freak though.

obthavariable · 03-13-2012, 09:01 PM

Haha, good to know, Mel.

Feel free to check out how we ended the last thread, if you haven't already. We sure are a hilarious twosome, aren't we?

your creation · 03-14-2012, 12:45 AM

I'm waiting to watch the ep now, fingers crossed I see it before I have to go out.

obthavariable · 03-14-2012, 08:26 AM

I still like the show, but it hasn't really given me a full belly laugh the last few episodes, which if I'm going to stick with a sitcom, I look for one of those each episode, so... Better get crackin, New Girl, or you're gonna get tanked by me pretty soon.

For me, the show that's giving me great laughs (other than Modern Family) is the one that comes on right before NG, which is "I Hate My Teenage Daughter." I definitely recommend it, and at least not a lot of eps have passed so there's a good chance to catch up. And Mel, you might appreciate it a bit more since you're from Texas.

Anyway, just putting it out there if either of you feel like catching it.
