I’m totally being lazy and copying this meme.
Six odd random things about me that you probably didn’t want to know…
1. I’m the most disorganized person ever…yet I’m extremely rooted in routine. I’m not sure how that works, but somehow it does. So when someone messes with my mess or bumps me out of routine I get very irritated. Hmm, OCD much???
2. When I was in high school, I had a big blue mohawk and sometimes my English teacher couldn’t teach because I was too distracting. (I sat at the front of the class eagerly, so he would make me move to the back)
3. I love teen movies. I can’t get enough of them. It’s probably because I don’t want to grow up. Some favorites: Superbad, The Faculty, The Craft, Cursed, Ten Things I Hate About You
4. I started a writing course by correspondence, but only ever finished one assignment before I sold my first short story to Playgirl magazine. Needless to say I never finished that course.
5. I wrote screenplays before I ever wrote a novel or even a novella. I’ve written seven and have been close to selling twice. It was extremely heartbreaking so I decided to write books instead. I still have aspirations to screenwrite. My lifelong dream is to win an Oscar for best original screenplay.
6. When I saw WANTED in the theatre on Sunday, I got turned on while watching the part where Wesley completely innihilates his enemies. Lots of gunplay and blood. I thought it was one of the sexiest movies I’ve seen in a long time. Hmm, I wonder what that says about me???

Congrats to you both on the Playgirl starts!
Vivi, I had to LOL at the image of the blue mohawk and your disgruntled teacher. Too funny.
I, too, am a huge teen movie fan. I own numerous of them and regularly rewatch them…with my husband, believe it or not. I swear he can be such an alpha, but he seems to love teen movies, too. Well, at least most of them. Nothing too overly girlie.

I am totally with you on the teen movies!
My some of my faves are Clueless, Mean Girls,
A Cinderella Story, How to Deal, Saved, and Freaky Friday.

Vivi - you mean the scene where he lets out all the rats?! I really enjoyed “Wanted.” I’m iffy on teen movies, but some are a guilty pleasure. Some, are quite good.

Yeah, the rat scene… mmmm, I don’t know why but I was hot for that scene…for the whole movie really. I LOVED it.

I can’t imagine a blue mohawk!

Vivi, girl, I am trying to picture you with a Mohawk.
As for teen movies, there are some I like to. I LOVE Ten Things I Hate About You. I liked The Facutly, Scream, Scream 2 and 3, Cursed, Disturbia (which I don’t know if you’d qualify for teen), Say Anything…I’m sure there are some others. You go girl on writing the screenplays! And you mean writing books sometimes isn’t heartbreaking? LOL. As for your number 6, I don’t think that’s as unusual as you might think. I was like that watching Russell Crowe fighting in Gladiator. I wanted to scream “Where’s a cold compress? I’m having a big hot flash here!”

I saw Wanted opening night, I went to see it for James McAvoy. He was so great as Wesley and he looked looked REALLY good.

Hi Vivi,
I am like you and I am quite disorganized…but my disorganization makes a lot of sense to me and it absolutely drives me crazy when someone messes with my stuff.
Blue mohawk…wow.
I love teen movies too. Ten Things I Hate About You is one of my favorites.
Very cool to be published in Playgirl. Both you and Megan got quite a great start.
Keeping my fingers crossed that one of your screenplays gets published very soon.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED everything about Wanted and it was such a sexy movie!
Have a great holiday weekend.

Yeah, Denise, I’m like that too when I watch Matt Damon fight in the Bourne movies. Whew! That’s some HAWT stuff!!
