About you:
Name: Kelly
Age: Don't ask, don't tell.
Strengths: Overall, I think I am analytical, persistent, considerate, polite, painstaking, thorough, reasonable, curious, industrious, helpful, trustworthy, discreet, funny, open-minded. I think I'm a pretty good problem solver. When I’ve a mind to, I can be very loving and loyal and empathetic.
Weaknesses: Too often, I am a perfectionist, self-absorbed, impatient, stubborn, idealistic, shortsighted, fearful, self-righteousness. I can take my strengths too far to where they become weaknesses. I work too much. I drink too much coffee and smoke too much and eat too many M&Ms. I don't always take care of myself physically or emotionally, don’t always too what’s best for me. I fall in love at the drop of a hat and with ideals instead of realities. I can be vain. I can procrastinate with the best of 'em. I'm not as disciplined as I'd like to be. I tend to stick to the devil I know instead of taking a chance on the devil I don't know. I tend to focus more on what could go wrong than on what could go right. I am too, too often distant with people.
Hobbies: Writing, movies, music, boys
Annoyances: Stupid people, rude people, thoughtless people, chatty people, loud people, pushy people, closed-minded people, crowds, traffic, car alarms, slow computers, when things don't got the way I want them to go
Goals: To stop smoking, to lose weight and get myself into shape, to find a decent hair style, to get my frat house of an apartment in shape, to have general peace of mind, to live my life purposefully
Fears: Disappointing or upsetting people, sharks, losing control, dying unhappy and unfulfilled
Introvert or extrovert: Yes. Depending on the surroundings, the people around me, my mood, I can be a total, bashful wallflower, or I can be a charming, funny pal. But I always keep at least a fence between me and other people.
Your general mood: Anxious
Favorite season: Summer
Self-esteem: When I'm by myself, I'm alright. When I with most people, it can be pretty low. . . at least iffy.
Current job/occupation: IT tech, full time (I work at a museum and am responsible for the computer needs of one department. I have to know their computer applications inside and out so that they run smoothly.); Julie, your cruise director at a gay club, part time (A few times a month, I work at a club, where I do pretty much whatever needs to be done – unclogging toilets, making sure there are plenty of paper towels and other supplies, guarding guests’ coats and other belongings, moving furniture, DJing, breaking up or mediating disputes, setting up before, cleaning up afterwards, bartending, welcoming guests, aiding guests in having a good time, publicizing, hailing taxis, directing to the nearest car service, subway, or bus, etc.)
Dream job/occupation: Trophy husband might be nice, but I find myself daydreaming about working on a little farm or cow-and-calf operation.
Relationship with the parents: With my mother, it’s distant but loving. With my dad, it’s distant, with bits of love and animosity and jealousy floating around.
Prefer rural, urban, or suburban: Yes. I’ve lived in all and can find good and bad things about each. But I grew up in a rural area, and I think that’s where my heart really, truly is. I live in an urban area now, and when I get back to a rural area, I feel like I’m home.
Do you drink alcohol? If so, what drinks do you prefer: Yes. I like cheap beer (PBR or Miller High Life), Wild Turkey, red wine
If someone randomly grabbed your hand in a bar, you would: I’d probably flinch a little at first, then look at them to see why they grabbed my hand in the first place, then follow their lead. If it was an accident, like they mistook me for someone else, I’d smile and laugh, say it was alright, and go on about my business. If they were being negative, I’d retreat and apologize. If they were being friendly or more than friendly and I wasn’t interested, I’d politely withdraw my hand and hope they got the message. If they were being friendly or more than friendly and I was interested, I’d say, “Come ‘ere, lovah boy!” and jump their bones.
Anything else? Looking over my responses, I’ve determined that I’m a freakin’ mess. I guess a non-examined life ain’t worth living. Otherwise, that’s all. But wait! One more thing. If and when I get a stamp, can I lick the back of it?

The Movie:
Favorite character: Ennis. . . Del Mar
Character you sympathized with most: Jack Fuckin’ Twist
Character you sympathized with the least: L.D. Newsome
Favorite scene: The reunion kiss
Least favorite scene: When Jack comes to Wyoming all excited to see Ennis after Ennis’s divorce from Alma, and Ennis shoots him down. It's just too, too sad to see Jack plummet from ecstasy to agony.
Summarize the theme of Brokeback Mountain in one word: Love

Picture of You (optional): The onliest uploadable pictures I have of me are with other people or of me on the loo. I don’t think others want me to put their pictures up, and I don’t think others want to see me on the can. I’ve got dark blonde or light brown hair (depending on what kind of crap I put in it) and blue eyes. I used to keep my hair cut pretty short, military high and tight, but I’m letting it grow and be free, do its own thang. It now covers my ears and is curly/wavy. I am 5’10”, with most of the length being in my legs. I’m pretty lean and lanky, but my belly is starting to pouch out.

Any suggestions for the mod? Huh? As in squad? Peggy Lipton? Like, Roger Daltrey? The Who?

Jack, I swear...

The Movie:
Favorite character: Jack- he fought for love and ended up dying because of it.
Character you sympathized with most: The wives for sure. Lureen because her husband never loved her the way he loved Ennis and Alma because even though Ennis loved her, there was always the part of him that loved Jack more... too bad he didn't let that through. Plus, finding out your husband is cheating on you with a man is probably one of the hardest things a woman could go through.
Character you sympathized with the least: Cassie... that is her name, right? Ennis' girlfriend. I just... once Ennis got his divorce he should have fought a little bit harder for Jack instead of going to her yuck.
Favorite scene: Jack and Ennis first reunion after Brokeback at Ennis house. That kiss. Good lord.
Least favorite scene: Any with Cassie.
Summarize the theme of Brokeback Mountain in one word: Struggle.

Age: 14

Weaknesses: I have a temper like a bomb, I sometimes slap people, I find that if someone doesnt agree with me, shouting at them nearly always gets them to see my way, Im very emotional, I have low self-confidence, I get bored easily, Im very forward with my opinions, I say whatever's on my mind without thinking first, I have problems with reality and I dont even see how my friends put up with me.
Hobbies: Drawing, watching/reading anime/manga, playing console games, (mostly RPGs), reading in general, going on the Internet, HTML, making graphics, talking about if there really is a God and what we're doing here, how the human race will kill the Earth, if there are aliens, spiritual beings... I think (and talk) a lot, in other words.
Annoyances: People who are really full of themselves, skanks/sluts/users/players. Those who treat me like Im a kid. I hate it when people pay out the bands I like and what I like in general. Sometimes I even hate humans for what they've done, like kill, rape, abuse and all that stuff.
Goals: To one day either be a graphics designer, or work in either the anime, manga or console games industry.
Fears: To lose someone who I really care about forever.
Introvert or extrovert: Im normally somewhere inbetween (if thats possible). Im extroverted with my friends, but a lot of the time I just withdraw into myself and want to be alone.

Prefer rural, urban, or suburban: Suburban, maybe. Or maybe urban? Definetly not rural, though.
Do you drink alcohol? If so, what drinks do you prefer: No. I dont drink. And just for the record, beer = evil. It makes people do stupid things - things they may regret for the rest of their lives. It kills and smells horrible too.
If someone randomly grabbed your hand in a bar, you would: Id turn around and see who they are. If they look dodgey, Id ask them to let go, but if they're stubborn, Ill most likely take the violent route.
Anything else? Man this survey's long...

The Movie:
Favorite character: Jack Twist. I love Jake Gyllenhaal, and Jack's such a sweet character.

Any suggestions for the mod? Nup.

Wed, 21 Jun 2006 21:51:54 GMT

About you:
Name: Tara
Age: 17
Strengths: I stick to my friends through good and bad; I love helping people... but when I sense people taking advantage of my kindness, I ignore them. Over-all, I'm a pretty easygoing person. I'm the peacekeeper among my friends, too. I usually solve all of the relationship problems, drama, etc. I'm very organized and always get things done before or on time.
Weaknesses: I'm a bit paranoid; I worry too much.
Hobbies: I'm very artistic. I usually draw and write stories in my spare time. Watching/analyzing movies is another hobby. I love designing posters to advertise!
Annoyances: People who like to take advantage of others; close-minded people; people who think that you have a crush on them if you tell them you're gay; I hate perverted people; drugs and alcohol; keg parties;
Goals: My ulitmate dream is to become a movie director; other than that, I might just open my own business as a tattoo artist or end up working with something to do with entertainment marketing and business.
Fears: Someone hurting those who I love.
Introvert or extrovert: Extrovert.
Your general mood: Bouncy. I'm mostly optimistic.
Favorite season: Winter.
Self-esteem: Average. I mean, everyone has their good and bad days.
Current job/occupation: Highschool Senior.
Dream job/occupation: Film Director.
Relationship with the parents: Hmmm.. it's confusing. My mom usually supports me with everything. My dad expects alot from me since I'm the eldest; most of the time, he wants me to be just like him. There's a conflict here because they're both so condradicting. Overall, I usually get along with them.
Prefer rural, urban, or suburban: Urban.
Do you drink alcohol? If so, what drinks do you prefer: Nope.
If someone randomly grabbed your hand in a bar, you would: Freak out. Not in a bad way.
Anything else? I follow the straight-edge lifestyle (No drugs, alcohol, or sex with various partners). Uhm... I'm also a lesbian. I'm pretty proud of that, too. I also have a personal belief of trying to keep my own individuality. Everyone should start accepting people for who they are and stop trying to be, act, dress, etc. like other people. It makes the world a much more diverse and interesting place.

The Movie:
Favorite character: Jack.
Character you sympathized with most: Jack. All he wanted was to be with Ennis.
Character you sympathized with the least: I sympathized with all of them.. it's hard not to.
Favorite scene: Near the ending, when Ennis goes to see Jack's parents. It just showed us how much Jack really loved Ennis. I mean, he even mentioned him to his parents!
Least favorite scene: When Ennis has the vision of Jack dying.
Summarize the theme of Brokeback Mountain in one word: Tragic.

Fri, 16 Jun 2006 02:46:23 GMT

About you:
Name: Niina AKA niims
Age: older than 18, younger than 80
Strengths: writing, cooking, drawing
Weaknesses: this is hard to explain ... I'm not what people refer to as a "nice person" and sometimes I come across as rude or impatient, but I'm just really uncomfortable in social situations where I don't know people, however around my friends I'm quite stable and fun-loving. I've even been accused of engaging in a little friendly flirting with my buddies, regardless of their gender.

I hate cleaning and will do anything to avoid it, however, I hate school work more, and when I was in school I would clean to avoid school work.

I have a convoluted way of thinking. The best way I can think to explain this is ... say I need to get from A to C. Instead of going to B, as logic would dictate, I will run from D straight through to Z, then back to A and finally B. The only explanation I can offer is that I don't like it when people tell me what to do or how to do it ...

I am told I have a bit of a temper because I never forgive and never ever forget.

I'm also notorious for being hard on myself ... I've had these high, almost impossible standards, since I was quite young.
Hobbies: writing, camping, reading, watching hockey, discovering funky art
Annoyances: 1 - people (seriously, it's not a joke); 2 - public transportation; 3 - my soon to be ex-roommate; 4 - having to wash dishes after I cook; 5 - frigid cold temperatures (I'm Canadian); 6 - people who take advantage of my inability to stick up for myself.
Goals: 1 - save enough money to buy a condo instead of renting an apartment AND pay off my student loans!!!!! 2 - spend a year traveling Australia and New Zealand; 3 - send my parents on a cruise.
Fears: 1 - never finding that special someone; 2 - earthworms; 3 - discovering my paranoia isn't paranoia afterall :S
Introvert or extrovert: introvert
Your general mood: broody
Favorite season: hard to pick between Spring and Fall
Self-esteem: quite low
Current job/occupation: I'm a digital multimedia designer
Dream job/occupation: that i'm qualified for? web designer for a pro sports team ... ideally-in-my-wildest-dreams kind of thing? fiction writer or a screenwriter
Relationship with the parents: pretty good, I'd say. better now that I'm older and living on the other side of the country, but we speak at least once-per week.
Prefer rural, urban, or suburban: semi-urban, if that makes sense? I live in Montreal (I refer to it as the concrete city), but I love camping and nature. I miss trees.
Do you drink alcohol? If so, what drinks do you prefer: yes ... beer ... and ... beer ... the occassional shot is nice, too.
If someone randomly grabbed your hand in a bar, you would:Assuming it's someone I don't know, I'd tell them to get their damned hand off me unless they want it detached. If it's someone I know well, I'd probably turn it into a sexual inuendo.
Anything else? um ... GO OILERS GO!

The Movie:
Favorite character: Ennis
Character you sympathized with most: Ennis
Character you sympathized with the least: Alma ... (not Junior)
Favorite scene: Ennis smiling when he sees Jack step out of his truck (pre-reunion kiss).
Least favorite scene: Jack and Aguirre in the trailer, when Jack comes looking to be re-hired the following summer ... only because the look on Jack's face after the "stemming the rose" comment rips out my heart every single time.

About you:
Name: Rebecca Magdalena
Age: 19
Strengths: imagination, mostly objective, tolerant, ambitious, good listener
Weaknesses: laziness, depression, paranoia, the need to impress, always feeling like I can't live up to everybody else, easily annoyed by stupid people who don't even try
Hobbies: drawing, singing, photography, movies, roleplay
Annoyances: stupid people, people who hate themselves but don't do anything about it, war, people who won't even TRY, people who dislike me for no obvious reason and don't care to tell me either, political correctness (good idea, totally over-the-top by now)
Goals: to become a film director, or generally do ANYTHING artsy for a living, ideally film.
Fears: to lose everyone I love, war, that there's nothing after death
Introvert or extrovert: Extroverted introvert. I like being around people, but not having to concentrate on what they're saying unless it's interesting. I hate being obliged to do anything with someone unless they share my interests.
Your general mood: chirpy and random with underlying angst
Favorite season: Eh? Oh right. Um. I dunno. Autumn.
Self-esteem: What I call "200/-50". Sometimes I'll have an ego of 200% the normal amount, and sometimes it'll go down to self-loathing. *shrug*
Current job/occupation: Photography student
Dream job/occupation: Film director
Relationship with the parents: I like them. They did some things wrong, but I feel bad for making them feel bad about it now. Though it probably turned them into better people. My parents are pretty screwed up, like kicked puppies. I just want them to be happy now.
Prefer rural, urban, or suburban: Depends. But never suburban. I live in suburbia right now and ...well, I dislike it greatly. *lol* Rural or urban are both good.
Do you drink alcohol? If so, what drinks do you prefer: Ah do. Um.. I like thick, sweet liqour-y stuff. Baileys, Corky's, that sort of thing.
If someone randomly grabbed your hand in a bar, you would: Pull away in shock and look at them like "wtf?"
Anything else? Er... I'm bisexual, but I can't seem to talk to men at all. I don't know how they work, what makes them "tick", that sort of thing. And the thought of kissing a man is like... eugh. So I fancy men like, I dunno, Johnny Depp *g* but not actually your next door delivery boy, if you know what I mean. Non-celebrity blokes are just too... dumb. Apart from that, I kind of want to be a man, so I'm a bit butch, but not in a nasty sort of way. My sexuality's so screwed up *lol*

The Movie:
Favorite character: Ennis, I suppose. He came to me. He speaks to me. As much as he ever speaks *g*
Character you sympathized with most: Oh dear. Both, I guess! But Ennis. Because he just screws up all the time and he KNOWS it, but is totally convinced there's nothing he can do about it, when really there IS! But maybe Jack because he knows they could do something about it and has to live with the frustration of not being able to push Ennis that far, ever, and relying on when it's convenient for him... oh, I dunno. Say Jack. Just.
Character you sympathized with the least: Alma. I just... hate those kinda women. I mean, I get the feeling she just doesn't even love Ennis, she just wants a man, any man, and no scandal the neighbours could find out about. I do feel sorry for her, but she's so... she's one of those people who don't bother trying to be better than what they are.
Favorite scene: *WAIL* The shirt in the closet! *sob... sob... SNIFF ...sob* ...I actually cried thinking about that film without having seen it in a few days some time ago.
Least favorite scene: Er.. maybe any scenes with Ennis and his new girlfriend. I didn't really dislike any scenes, to be honest.
Summarize the theme of Brokeback Mountain in one word: How much hurt people can cause others by being too set in their ways and determined that their life is going to be a misery no matter what and therefore won't even try.
