Best. Movie. Line. Ever.

"I'm going to kill you with my teacup."

(i've been saying it over and over again since we got out of the movie. i may yet prompt light to actually try act it out for me.)

I think I have to see the movie just for that. I had no interest up till now. A teacup??

[tisana.livejournal.com]

I would put forth, however, as another contender, Antonio Banderas in "Four Rooms" saying: "Did they...misbehave?"

The movie was "Riddick," right?

[omnia-mutantur.livejournal.com]

yes, yes it was.

there were some truly awful moments, but there was a lot of asskickage, an incredibly hot woman, vin diesel's voice, and some bizarrely compelling moments of camera work.

and i know not the movie you quote.

so I've been wandering around your journal for the past week or so, and I find you really intriguing. Do you mind if I add you?

[omnia-mutantur.livejournal.com]

come on in, the water's fine. well, most of the time it is. sometimes it's whiny and lost, but if you've been reading, you've picked up on that.

and i'm 95% sure i know who you are. and i'll bug History to make sure tonight.

may i add you back?

can you tell me what intrigues? (to satisfy both my curiousity and my perpetually flagging selfesteem?)

lol, believe me, i'm quite used to asking myself what a person finds interesting if they mention something aobut me, so you're not alone in that category.

i like the way you write. it's beautifully intelligent and open and honest. oftentimes i don't think my livejournal completely says things like that....it's something that's usually in my regular written journal. sometimes i feel like i'm struggling with conversationality in my lj. must update on my life, not give you the inner recesses of my heart. and transcribing my written journal bits takes time, and sometimes i get lazy. also don't feel half as eloquent as some of the other people i know who journal or have english geek tendencies.

I'm Kat's friend Lisa. you met me at Kat's thanksgiving party, wherein both of us were very tired and seemingly irritated at the overexuberant and mildly grating characters that were making up the noise there. i was the curly haired girl who stuck to the background, and who somehow Bjorn still found interesting despite all that.

I'm sure I've come up somewhere before. Ben is also a friend of mine, who i introduced to Kat.

feel free to add me, if you can put up with my inane discussions on christianity. somehow, knowing who i am would be easier and truer in person, which we'll have to try sometime. perhaps if things go well and i move out to the area?

[omnia-mutantur.livejournal.com]

that was who i thought you were/are.

thank you for the variety of compliments. being liked/enjoyed/understood in this medium is an incredibly good feeling, particularly since i too struggle with this medium, sometimes wanting more conversation than chronicle and feeling like that almost cheapens what i'm trying to do.

and by all means, if you do end up on this end of the state, i'll take you out to icecream or tea, depending on the weather, and we can approach the impossible project of selfindentification.

i'm not sure what i'm trying to do exactly in this medium. i originally joined to be in on Kat's life and be more connected with her. then so many of my other friends got journals it was a good way to keep in touch with each other.

i want people to know the real me and how i think. but sometimes it's hard to really explain that, or completely show it without fear; mostly i think due to the christian angle i fear would bring so much debate and also so much distaste. they'd have to listen well without prejudgements to get it, and i don't want to assume that i'm going to get that. those can be hard to work past.

also noticing more and more how random people can find you on this thing, and that's freaky too.

ice cream or tea would be wonderful, since i love both. what's your fav teas? mine currently are green and mint; though i'm still a sucker for fruity herbals.

[omnia-mutantur.livejournal.com]

while it's difficult for me to step past my prejudice, i know that it's there, and i try to do as much as i can to counteract it, particularly if speaking with someone who does believe. (and this is as true for what i consider to be fluffy bunny pagans as it is for judeochristian religions)

i'm not sure i'll ever understand the idea of faith or a predominately proselytizing religion. but i try not to be an ass about it unless attacked.

currently, i've been drinking a celestial seasonings perfectly pear white tea. but i'm hoping to turn into a teasnob and start drinking looseleaf at home. usually i'm a sucker for anything with cinnamon.

[harlenna.livejournal.com]

oh republic of tea has this white tea with a light flavor of pineapple that's like having dessert. it's SO damn tasty. and it's looseleaf. if the damn thing wasn't so expensive and i'd had extra cash i'd have bought it already. but if you have $5-$8 to toss down on tea feel free.

i think you, Kat and I need to take a trip out to the looseleaf tea shop in Natick sometime. really good looseleaf there. Kat introduced me to the place years ago, and oh what wonderful things I got there.

I've got quite a collection of tea myself, so if you ever want to sit down and compare collections (and take some home for yourself) that would be cool.

i'm not on the tack of prostelytizing people. My take on all that is that i'll tell you what i believe from my perspective, in an attempt to come to an understanding about who we both are and where we both stand. Religious faith in any true sense is a series of realizations that one comes to on their own; and even scripture supports that. God's supposed to do the drawing and revealing; i'm just here to love people and explain what i know. If you choose it, then you choose it. if not, that's okay too. Forcing would make it inherently fake besides horribly wrong, but we already knew that part, didn't we?

hope that makes sense.

tea and icecream are the two ways directly to my heart.

and i'd love to. all of the above, i'd love to.

and i'd also love to keep talking about this, but i think it might best suit another medium, most likely in person. (mostly because it's a personal enough topic that i'd want to be able to _see_ you as your respond)

[harlenna.livejournal.com]

well, i'm glad i've been offered a way to your heart. feel quite special about that in fact.

yes, in person would probably be best, or phone at least. we'll see when i can get out to the area next.

Thing is, it wasn't really a proper teacup. It was really a coffee mug and only a teacup de facto since it presumably had tea in it.

On the collector's edition DVD you can see the ten minute sequence in which Riddick tries to describe tea to the food synthesizer, which poor machine can't quite get it right:

"Real tea doesn't taste like shit."
"I'll kill you."
"More lemon."

[omnia-mutantur.livejournal.com]

maybe coffee mugs are the tea cups of the future.
