debriefing. ;)

So Friday was fun. Sarah W. came over around 2:30 and instead of leaving right away the two of us putzed around for almost 3 hours. Heh. She wanted to hear my playlist of incredibly silly songs, and then I needed to make three LJ posts (being a member of LOTR communities is a new thing for me, heh). So I showed her clips of silly LOTR boys and Wash (Firefly), played random sounds I've got saved ("AAH! I'M INSANE WITH ANGER!" "Did he just go crazy and fall asleep?!"), and we went through my insanely lengthy picture folders looking for appropriate pictures to post in lotrboys_daily. 'Twas fun. A few good quotes:

Me: *squeeing over Billy Boyd*
Sarah: Gabby needs a hobby....yyyyy.....yit. A Hobbit. Gabby needs a Hobbit.
Me: Gabby does need a hobby. Besides the Hobbits, of course.

Me: *looking over my subject line for one LOTR post* Spam!
Sarah: Shrimp!
Me: *looks at her strangely; cracks up laughing*
Sarah: *laughing* Oh man, your face just then was so great! ... Did you just say Spam?!
Me: Yes...
Sarah: ... Why?
Me: ... I have no idea.
Sarah: Ahahaha, you BEAN!....... Did I just call you a Bean?
Me: *laughing harder* YES! Why?
Sarah: ... I have no idea!

Sarah: *singing* Brian Thomas Littreeeelll....
Me: *finishes* MAKES good Hush-Puppies... HE'S HOT!
Sarah: *busts up* I forgot about that!

Hmm... there were more, but I've forgotten. After I finished up all my crud we headed over to her house where we chilled for a while. Laurie took us out to Friendly's for dinner, which was so cool. Three random guys waved to us on their way out. Laurie was like "Who was that?" and we just shrugged. It was great because Sarah, ever the oblivious one, waved back to them. Wheehehehe. Sarah and I shared a Western B-b-q burger which was SO GOOD, MMMM!!, and Laurie ordered three different appetizers for herself and Katrina. So we all snacked on those. It was a good meal. Good company. Me and Sarah took turns cracking each other up all night, which was great because the restaurant was PACKED. All I remember is saying "Man, I hope they don't seat us next to anybody, 'cause we're gonna be so crazy," and then they sat us right next to the window (only one booth next to us), heh!

There were more great quotes while we were there, but I've already forgotten them. All I really remember is Laurie commenting that everything that comes out of my mouth is some sort of movie quote (which is true), holding Sarah's cookie shake up to her mouth so she couldn't put it down (which resulted in Sarah whining with a mouth-full of cookie crumb milkshake remnants, HEHEHEHE), and the two of us sword fighting with "Narsil" again (IE: the little festive toothpicks they stick in your burgers so they wont fall apart). HEHEHEHE, almost a year ago we had a sword fight in a Chili's with those little plastic swords and I broke mine, so I said "Look Sarah! The shards of Narsil!" So we just continued on that joke tonight.

Me: *GASP* The shards of Narsil have been reforged! Beware, I now wield ANDURIL! *takes a swing at Sarah's toothpick*
Sarah: *laughs* I can already tell yours is gonna break again just by how low you're holding it!
Me: *holds it so that the tip is just barely showing, and stabs Sarah's hand repeatedly* Ah-HA! TAKE THAT, YOU SCURVY KNAVE!

OH, I REMEMBERED SOME MORE!

Katrina: *says something mean to me, probably about my inability to shut up for two seconds*
Me: *squints at her dangerously, while picking up french fry* Katrina, if you don't quit talking right now, I'm going to take this fry, open your mouth, and stab you repeatedly in your ugula! *makes stabby motions with fry to accentuate point*
Sarah: *chokes on milkshake* OMG, that was way too funny! I can imagine you doing that too!

Katrina: PINCH BUGGY! *pinches everyone*
Me: OW!!! *stares at her for a minute* *kicks her in the shin*
Katrina: Oww! *hopping up and down on one leg*

Katrina: *quickly runs out the door and holds it closed so me and Sarah can't get out.* *grins cheekily*
Sarah: *blink* Walks over to the other door and opens it, walking through
Katrina: *face falls in disappointment*
Sarah & I: *incapacitated with laughter*


So when we got back to Sarah's house we watched Pirates of the Caribbean, because none of them had seen it before. It was much fun. I also finally got to see the blooper reel and deleted scenes (OMG there were so many!), albeit out of order (YES, I AM OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE OK??? I DIDN'T WATCH THE DELETED SCENES EARLIER BECAUSE I WANTED TO WATCH THE BONUS STUFF THAT CAME BEFORE IT FIRST, SO SUE ME!!!), which was a little irritating. But anyway, a few comments (I'll never be able to remember them all):

1. Not including the sword-fight scene, Captain Jack Sparrow stares down the blade of a sword 4 times.

2. I think Commodore Norrington has wig envy (all the other soldiers have two curls, he only has one!)

3. There are so many holes in the plot I could sail the Black Pearl through them. EHEHE, oh well.

4. They never explained why Will so vehemently hates pirates, and honestly, I'm a little curious. Why were there people "fluffing" a mainsail below deck when Elizabeth was running around screaming (after first seeing the pirates in the moonlight)? How did Barbosa hold an apple and sword fight at the same time (he dies with the apple in his hand, and is holding it before he fights Jack. It just mysteriously disappears for a while while they fight)? When they throw Jack in the brigg on the Black Pearl there's about a foot of flood water on the floor (Jack: I think there's a leak), but when they throw the other pirates in the brigg after Jack and Elizabeth are deserted on the island again, they're MOPPING THE FLOOR. What happened to the flooding? There were other amusing oddities, but I've forgotten what at this point.

5. OMG, "BENNY AND JOON" QUOTE IN THE DELETED SCENES!!!!!! I 'EEEEE'D OUT LOUD FOR A GOOD 5 MINUTES AND WAS FORCED TO REWIND BECAUSE I MISSED SO MUCH!! I LOVE JOHNNY DEPP SO MUCH FOR FITTING THAT IN!!! It was when he was talking about the French and he said "Obsessed with raisins... they're really just humiliated grapes..." EEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! BENNY AND JOON BENNY AND JOON BENNY AND JOON! Okay, I'm good now I think. I love that movie, and it just hit me it's been 10 years since it came out. Awww, I bet that's why Johnny Depp did a quote in PotC, even if it did get deleted. Heee, such a sweetie.

6. The mayonnaise bit! I FINALLY GET IT! "French. All eunuchs. Inventors of mayonnaise." "I like mayonnaise!"

7. That "Swash swash, buckle buckle" thing? Reeeaaally not as funny as everyone told me it was. I think the reason it got so much attention was because it was the only remotely funny outtake Orlando Bloom had. *shrug* Okay.

8. OMG, gay laughter Orlando is SO ENDEARING. All the supplemental material with him in it, I was just like "Awww, he's SO CUTE AND GAY!" Ahahahahaha! That scene in Fly on the Set or whatever it's called where they're retaking the scene where the guy grabs him by the neck with a hook and says "Say goodbye!"? Yeah, the second one where Orlando GIGGLES and walks a little off-set merited me rewinding the disk and watching AGAIN. AHAHAHAHA, boys so do not giggle enough. It cracks me the heck up.

9. I love the fact that for that sword-fighting scene Orlando's stunt double took over for a few shots (especially since Orli made sure to brag about his sword-fighting skills, due to the extensive battles he was in in LOTR). EHEHEHE, I was amused by that. And the Jack Sparrow double was so fabulous. Omg, I love stunt doubles.

10. That "Diary of a Pirate" thing was GREAT! Whoo! I so love Lee Arenberg now, which makes Pintel so much more fun to watch in the movie now. That was great. Especially when he handed the camera to Johnny Depp. First thing Johnny goes for? Kiera. Ahaha, and I half expected him to zoom on her bust. *shakes head* Funny boys. I think this was my favorite of the extra stuff yet.

11. I'm trying to think of some other good outtakes to comment on. I know there was a lot of fun stuff... the Johnny Depp Lee Arenberg tongue thing was great, hehe. Um... nothing else really sticks out in my mind, but I'm sure I'll be quoting it more when I think of it later. Oh, Jack's scars! OUCH! And Elizabeth supposedly made up "A Pirates Life For Me"? Heh, that's great how they fit that in (though it was cut), 'cause it wasn't a real song till the ride came out in Disneyland back in the 50's. I'm still loving all the scenes from the ride (still my favorite part of the movie). And um... yeah. Okay. More later, I guess?

Some great quotes from the rest of that night:

[End scene of PotC plays, where Will and Elizabeth kiss]
Me: You are sooooo gonna get busted by the cops, Will! You big child molester, you! She's underage you dirty old man, you!
Laurie: Yeah, but her father is right there giving willing consent.
Me: ... dang, you're right. DARN YOU WILL!!! *shakes fist*

Me: Hey Sarah?
Sarah: Yeah?
Me: Why does your sister have a fishing net on her wall? Is she afraid the other sea cows are gonna come get her in the middle of the night?
Sarah: *laughs so hard she hyperventilates* I... was.. so not... ready... for that... *continues laughing for another good 2 minutes or so*
[Explanation: It's really not as mean as it sounds. Katrina has some of those netted christmas lights on her wall, but it looks like a fishing net. And, well, when she laughs? It sounds like a sea cow in mating season. Honestly, it's really not as mean as it sounds. *twiddles thumbs innocently*]

Sarah: *wraps a shoulder wrap around her* I am the queen of england!
Me: *gasp* The Virgin queen of England! Actually, an interesting fact about the Virgin Queen---
Sarah: *grabs a Hawaiian lei and throws it around her neck* SHE'S BEEN LEID!
Me: *BUSTS UP LAUGHING* That's actually what I was going to say, though not in those exact words. Man, that's what you call comedic timing, yo.

[Sarah and I watching TV]
Me: I... I... I... (trying to remember my thought)
[A commercial for Lion King 1 1/2 comes on]
Sarah: *singing* HAAAAASTA VAANIAAA...!!
Me: I... I........ I really don't know what to say to that.


Hmmm... that's all I can remember at the moment. So I didn't fall asleep until around 3am that night, and then had to wake up at 7am so I could make it to my meeting in time, which was a real trial let me tell you. Not 'cause I was tired or anything, but because by the time the ENTIRE WILLMOTT FAMILY HAD FINISHED USING THE BATHROOM SO I COULD TAKE A SHOWER it ended up being 5 minutes till I was supposed to leave. Eep. So yeah, that was unpleasant. I quickly rinsed off, threw my hair up, threw on some clean clothes and put my makeup on while Sarah drove me home. Jumped out of the car, threw my bag in my room, then jumped back in mom's car so we could get to bookstudy in time (dad was called that morning to conduct, too. Wheee, fun). Anyways, we made it, I didn't fall asleep... all in all a good morning. :P

That evening I was supposed to do the "Trading Spaces" think at the Hilger's house, but I wasn't feeling too well and I couldn't figure out how I could get there and back again ("A hobbit's tale, by bilbo baggins"---er, sorry) without messing something else up. So I called Nichole and told her I couldn't make it. :( It was sad. But then I ended up going over to Javiar's house for dinner (pronounced Ha-vee-air, he's a spanish brother), which was good. There were a TON of people there, and it was a very pleasant night! Matt B. and Dave B. ended up coming over too, because Aaron V. was there and he invited them over, so that was cool. I got to get the skinny on what's happening in Concord from them. And Aaron was nice and cool and stuff to me, which is progress. I met this AWESOME Spanish sister from Meridith I think, who reminded me SO MUCH of a female version of Cesar L. it's crazy. She was AWESOME, it was fun. And then Lauren Blair challenged me to an air hockey face off, heh heh heh. I was disgusted to discover I really need to work on my air hockey skills some more. He kicked my butt, yo. But it was fun. Yeah, good time was had by all.

Came home, goofed off on-line all night, and ended up going to bed feeling rather nasty. Sunday I woke up late, and you know the rest. Blergh. I'm actually not feeling that well right now. But that's okay, because ladyelfstone just called me! Eeee, that was so cool! And fun! And yetthhh, we loooves the sarah, we doess...

So there you have it. :D

In other unrelated news, I'm watching an older episode of Frasier right now and I ADORE Simon (Daphne's brother). Which is amusing, because I never liked him until I saw the same actor in the lead role of Without A Trace (not to mention a few other things). Heee, cheeky british accents rock my world.

PS. NO FREAKING WAY! PAUL BETTANY MARRIED JENNIFER CONNELY????? .... Well that just shatters all my hopes and dreams. ;)

PPS. Boy George is on the TV right now and I can't stop thinking about Elijah Wood. HEHEHEHE, omg he looked so much like him it's scary. I love dat boy.
