You mean there are people who didn't spend their high school and college post-drinking nights freezing their asses off at the Waffle House? I don't think I've ever been to one when it was light outside. 
After giving it some thought, I gave a short yes and no list. Yes to the aquarium and the Coke museum (with recommendations on which flavors of Coke to drink while there-- I'm such a dork); no to Underground and anything else in the 5 Points/ Downtown area (post to follow explaining this).
Jamie-James-- instigating misbehavior since November 2006.
Remember to lift the handle when you flush. It's a brand new toilet, but our plumber died before he could come back and fix it.I love old people.
Dr. Doug Ross from ER (played by George Clooney). Like you didn't see this one coming. Better to start off with the obvious. Sure he was a bit of an ass, but he would do anything to save a child. Remember that episode when he was going to smoke a joint, but ended up saving a kid from a flooded sewer? I would have banged his brains out for that.
Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties (played by Michael J. Fox). I know my life with the money-loving Alex would be financially stable. He dressed well and had a great family (well except for his fat little sister) and Mallory and I would be best friends who would often do lunch and spend the afternoon shopping. And he was misogynistic enough to demand that I quit my job to stay at home and raise the kids.
Seth Cohen from The O.C. (played by Adam Brody). I've always wanted to date someone witty whose smart pop culture references would have me swooning. We would bond over our love for Breyer horses. Fine, my love when I was 10, and he still has Captain Oats on his bedside table, but whatevs. He would fall in love with me when I offered to extend Chrismukkah for 11 additional days (after all there are 12 days of Christmas).
Ben Covington from Felicity (played by Scott Speedman). I've been helping, now somebody save me. Ben, always drawn to the damsel in distress, would be more than willing to have my back. It must be nice to not have to depend on yourself all the time-- I would love to try that out. Plus he had a kick ass loft apartment that I wouldn't mind crashing at.
Noel Crane from Felicity (played by Scott Foley). It's my top ten list and I can have them both if I want. He was a geek with a hot body-- how do I order me one of those? Noel would fix my CSS problems and we would bond over our mutual hatred for IE. God he looked hot in his pea coat. Mmmm. Sometimes I would give him smart powder for shits and giggles, just to watch him freak out.
Brian Hackett from Wings (played by Steven Weber). Brian is the male version of me, another Type B personality. Together we would laugh incessantly and take spur of the moment trips. We'd win entire crowds of people over and reign as king and queen of the party.
Nat Ostertag from Mad About You (played by Hank Azaria). Over the summer I developed a thing for dog owners. Sure, he doesn't own Murray, but he takes care of him every day. He would love my dog; men who love dogs are good people. And you know they have to come home every night or otherwise deal with a mess in the morning.
Eric Gotts from Wonderfalls (played by Tyron Leitso). Only Will will know who I'm talking about here. He loved Jaye despite the fact she was so many things. He loved her despite the fact that she was disenchanted and he loved her despite the fact that she could be inexcusably mean at times, all while serving her alcohol. If Eric could love Jaye, he could love me.
Dr. Mark Sloan from Grey's Anatomy (played by Eric Danes). Mark looks and acts exactly like my ex from earlier this year. I would go over to his apartment in Midtown under the condition that there would be absolute silence during the hour of Grey's Anatomy. He would agree to anything as long as I came over. Halfway into the show he would get bored and put the split screen on his TV: my half with Grey's, his half with porn. I would have killed him had I been able to stop laughing first. Mark is also a "get under your skin" kind of guy. I forgot how hot he was, I wonder if I still have his number...
Dr. Preston Burke from Grey's Anatomy (played by Isaiah Washington). This is what I need: smart, confident, and sturdy. He's not afraid of moving forward and he's confident enough to not freak out when Cristina does. He's a calm and collected rock which neurotic women can lean upon and not feel freaking crazy. That must be nice...
I have a fear of peepholes. I have a lot of little phobias, but this one is pretty weird. Every night I double check that the door is locked before I go to bed. However, I am so afraid of seeing someone standing outside through my peephole, that I run down the hallway, lock each lock, and run away from my door and climb into bed as quickly as I can. The idea of seeing someone standing on the other side of my door completely freaks me out. One of my biggest fears is to look out my window and see someone looking back at me; I think this is just a variation on that.
If sailors rode in the car with me, they'd abandon ship screaming. I won't let someone ride in the car with me while I'm still trying to make a good impression, that is unless they are impressed by creative, wild swearing. Battling Atlanta traffic day in and day out has really unleashed my swearing capabilities. I realized I had a problem when a guy tried to cut me off and I slammed on my horn, stuck my head out the window, and just screamed the foulest things that I've ever heard in my life. He simply stared at me wide-eyed and I didn't even realize what had happened until it was over.
I scratch my neck when I'm concentrating. It began sometime around calculus in high school and just never stopped. When I try to figure out how much to tip, when I'm reworking a sentence, or when I'm trying to fix the double f**king margin bug for IE6, I have my nails to my neck. This isn't a problem for most people: when they scratch an itch, the marks almost immediately disappear. However, I'm so fair skinned that the marks will stay for hours. People will ask me what's wrong, who attacked me, where the hickey came from, etc. It becomes embarrassing to tell strangers that I did it hours before. They examine my nails and see I have none. That's how sensitive my skin is.
Right before Thanksgiving break my freshman year of college, my RA found me passed out in the hallway in our dorm. After one look at me, she said she was going to drive me to the emergency room.
She walked me into my room and I grabbed my coat and I stopped to phone my mother to let her know where I was going. "Don't go," she says. "It'll be a waste of money. Just wait and go to the health center in the morning."
I looked at my RA, "My mom won't let me go." She gave me a disapproving look, helped me into bed, and promised to come back in the morning to drive me to the campus health center.
At the health center the doctor took my temperature and looked grim. "You have a temp of 104, how long have you been this sick?"
"A couple of days now," and I began to cry over the validation of not feeling well.
"Don't worry, you're brain doesn't start melting until it hits 106." And I began to cry harder.
He took one look at my throat and disappeared. After a few minutes he came back with a younger man and a camera. The doctor wanted to document my case because he said he's never seen tonsillitis that severely before. I remember lying on the paper-lined bed crying and he shushes me while running his hand down the back of my head. He turned to the guy with the camera and said, "I'm going to get a published off of this!"
I spent my Thanksgiving break undergoing surgery. At the children's hospital of course, because my mother said it was cheaper. I was 19 and in a room with bunny rabbits and teddy bears. All the nurses laughed at me when they saw my age. They mockingly asked me if I wanted the "goofy juice" before the surgery like they gave the 5-year-old I was sharing the room with.
After surgery, my mother refused to accept any of my pain prescriptions because she said I would get addicted. The doctors argued with her, saying that there was more damage then they had originally thought and that I would need something to help me manage the pain. She took the prescription, but refused to fill it.
We're currently hiring two more people to expand my department at work. One task (okay, we took it upon ourselves) is to sort through resumes to weed out any undesirables.
Au Revoir Les Enfants, Gaspard Manesse plays Julien, an 11-year-old Catholic boarding-school resident during the Nazi occupation of France. He is witness to the courage of his instructors, who defy the German's anti-Semitic policies and quietly enroll Jewish children into the school under assumed names. Manesse befriends Jean (Raphael Fejto), one of these "instant Catholics." The refugee children are betrayed by a hostile ex-employee of the school, forcing Julien once more to be a bystander to history as Jean and the teachers are arrested. For this return to the French film industry after several years in the US, Louis Malle purged himself of his own bitter memories of life under the thumbs of the Nazis.
Mockingbird Don't Sing, Based on the actual events of one of the most horrific cases of child abuse ever to be documented, this haunting drama tells the tale of a young girl so severely affected by her traumatic experiences that she was unable to integrate into society after being rescued from her tormenting parents. When thirteen-year-old Katie Standon (Tarra Steele) was discovered in the early days of November 1970, the nation was shocked to learn that she had been isolated by her parents for fourteen years; spending her days in a closet wearing diapers and unable to utter a word. Assigned to social worker Sandra (Melissa Errico), Katie attempts to reintegrate herself into society, though her progress is tragically hindered by abusive Dr. Judy Bingham (Sean Young).
Elephant, Director Gus Van Sant returned to the low-key style of his early independent efforts with this semi-improvised exploration of how violence makes its way into a typical American high school. Eric (Eric Deulen) and Alex (Alex Frost) are two close friends who are students in a well-to-do suburb of Portland, OR. Eric and Alex are at once ordinary and misfits; while they seem to be confined to the edges of the clique-oriented social strata of high school, little about their behavior draws attention to itself. Or at least not during a typical school day; on their own time, the two boys are fascinated by Nazi iconography, enjoy violent video games, tentatively explore homoerotic desires, and coolly begin to make plans for an armed ambush of the school, drawing up working diagrams of the lunch room during study hall and buying rifles over the Internet. Drawing an expected degree of controversy, Elephant had its world premiere when it was screened in competition at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, where it won both Best Director for Van Sant and the Golden Palm award.
