Seriously, between Face's clerical collar in numerous episodes and Murdock wearing the cassock in Firing Line, The A-Team has NOTEVER helped me feel less dirty about my awkward priest fetish. Lol.
The A-Team in EVERY office is VERY important. I mean HELLO they help you get stuff done. Oh man, I totally should have brought my A-Team figures when I was stuck in my cubicle it woulda made it so awesome. I still can't believe that I got them all including the Amy figure for like $10 on Ebay 11 years ago. Oh well now I have the whole entire office to do whatever I want, including painting the door to look like the TARDIS, well the INSIDE door. My life was threatened if I even THOUGHT it put it on the outside. *Eyes your muses* I make mine write even if they don't want too. Like right now I'm struggling with the LAST part of my 'GGS' story which I KNEW was gonna happen the minute I split it into thirds. But if I keep pushing through something will stick and then BAM I'll be off.
I know, right?? I need to bring them in to join my Crazy Cat Lady Action Figure, my Dr. Monarch bobble head, and my Yo Gabba Gabba stress ball. Round out the crew, you know. xD
Painting your inner door as the Tardis, however, is AWESOME! I so highly approve, and I don't even really watch Dr. Who! Epicness! Haha, I would love to paint my walls, but apartment has to approve shit, so oh well. And yeah, I got mine off Ebay for around that, though my Murdock is kinda messed up and I don't have Amy. It's on my list, eventually!
I need to just sit down and write through it. I'm sure I could do it if I just didn't keep getting distracted. Especially since I have three stories open and have another idea for another one. *head desk* Doesn't help that one of these is H/F, which I wish I could write better (if only because so many of my meme friends love it), but argh.
OMG you have the greatest collection of office figures EVER. I always told myself that when I moved into my own place it'd be so kick ass and insane with my movie posters and action figures all over the place. But then when you live with someone who would have a STROKE if there was a Bubba Ho-Tep poster in the living room, regardless of whether it was signed or not, things change. I'm supposed to act all adult and stuff. BOOOOOO. So that's what my office is for. :) Distraction is awful. I found all these old notebooks that were half full of stories, part stories and ideas that ranged from awesome to WTF was that!? Though I could totally use some of them as movie verse. :) My sister told me she wanted a BA/Murdock movie story and I'm so trying to work on it but my poor brain is like THIS IS WRONG!!! WHAT ABOUT FACE!??!?! H/F is man, I don't know. To me that's like close to incest. Hannibal's like his dad. But that's why I love A-Team FF, everyone's got a pairing.
It is a pretty kick ass collection! I also have BA and Murdock drawn as cats by shinyshine_13 (she's on LJ, just not active for a long while), a dried starfish, a reindeer...thing my boss's kid picked out as an office Christmas gift, some more cat figures (I might be obsessed), a grow-your-own-dino, and a thing from Hallmark that shakes its head that my mom didn't want. Oh, and Wheat Thins. It's pretty rad, you know. xD If I could only work from home it would be more so...
Boo on being adult! Heck, my signed Watchmen poster is going up in the living room if I ever get something not an apartment! When I still lived at home, 3/4 walls had movie posters tacked up. Ceiling to floor, no lie. There's a picture somewhere on my journal. I've always wanted to do that in a more public place, since it's fun and conversation starting. Use that excuse for the Bubba Ho-Tep poster maybe? xD At least you have the office I suppose! You should totally do the ceiling up with something.
Yeah, ugh on distraction. It happens a lot with me. Like, a lot. I really just need someone to kick my ass on it, seriously. I have three birthday stories that are WAY late plus that eventual F/M, dark horror one. You can do it, though, the BA/M! I really recommend looking up shinyshine_13's stuff! She draws movie verse in a unique way that helps me write BA/M when I need it.
And me and H/F...I dunno. I have a huge H/F story that I reeeally need to finish, but I lost my way on it and now I don't like it. I like the secondary OCs better than the main ones... *argh!* Also, I get bored with writing a story when it doesn't have Murdock. (I'm horrible, I know.)
My room was like that to until I moved. I worked at a video store for years and got all the sweet movie posters and promos. Man, I bet the A-Team promo stuff was kick ass. Dark Horror one you say? I'm intrigued. Oh man the BA/M is gonna be crazy. My sister was over on the weekend and we sat watching episodes and the movie and we laid out the plot which of course has her Pike/Lynch as evil!boyfriends in it also. The title is incredibly cracky but I wouldn't expect anything less from my sister. 'Excuse Me, I Bumped Into Your Hotdog'. I really want to work on it but I know if I don't finish the third part to GGS I'll never write it and then I'll be irritated forever. So I promise myself I will NOT write anything else until I do the BA/M story. CRAP!!!! Except I have the dang QL/TAT story for the group that's due Valentinesy and I haven't even got into a series writing frame of mind in FOREVER. I completely understand your issue with lack of Murdock. I mean HELLO it's Murdock.
If there was any promo stuff! The A-Team didn't market well at all. I didn't even want to go see it until after my sister had seen it. Needless to say, here I am now, but still. xD Some of the posters are fun though, and I hear there are life sized cardboard cut outs somewhere on the Internet. Also, why are there only Hannibal and BA figures from the movie? I've found, like, one Murdock one. Not cool!
Yeah, the horror one's started over on the meme, but only one part is up. :/
Bwhahahaha, I love the title though! And crack can be utterly fantastic. Super fun to write too! And of course she'd want Pike/Lynch, hehe. They're the perfect crack couple!
Ooo, good luck on that TAT/QL one. I haven't seen any of QL, though I want too. I just don't have it in me to watch it right now AND write about it. Maybe you can still do it movie verse? Doesn't necessarily have to be series, does it?
OMG me and my sister were waiting for the movie. It was one of those things we were stressing about for YEARS on whether the movie would be good. Then the cast started falling into place, though I had reservations about Neeson until I saw Taken then I was oh snap. Plus, my very big main concern had always been who was gonna play Murdock. I saw District 9 literally a few weeks before they said Copley was gonna play Murdock and I was like ok, ok this could work but then I saw him talking about the A-Team and I was like, "Holy god it's gonna be good. I so approve." Plus... HOT. Lol. Me and my sis drug our S.O.s to the movie, sitting there all tense and worried until after the opening scene where we were like "YESSSSSSSS! This is what we WANTED FOREVER!" I love me some crack every once in awhile. It's so much fun. I LOOOOOOOOVE QL. It could be a movie verse but Al from QL was in 'Nam and could have totally crossed paths with the A-Team, not to mention I have half a story written out from 10 years ago. Lol.
OH! It's also probably for the best that I'm JUST NOW hearing about life size stand ups. I'd be in so much trouble. E would come home and Murdock would be on her side of the bed all snuggled under the covers. Yeah... it would not go well. Plus I'd get paper cuts on my tongue for trying to continuously make out with it.
I'd never seen A-Team before. It was something I got in to only after the movie (I'm one of those xD). I love old, kinda campy TV shows though, which is why I love the series so much, and why Adam West will always be my Batman. I still need to look up QL. Knowing AL was in 'Nam now helps motivate me a bit more... *favorite time era!*
Copley was a fantastic pick! I love him dearly, and wish he would act in other things so I can continue to fan girl while he's on screen! I guess I'll just have to keep replaying A-Team and District 9 though instead. And yes, he is hot. HOT. He's probably my number one celebrity crush, and people are always a bit off-put. More for me. :D
It's ok I forgive you. You're here now so it's all good. I grew up on The A-Team. I remember being 5 when the 3rd season was on because I remember the 'robot' with Face in the opening not realizing till later that haha Cylon. I also remember getting in SOOOOOOOO much trouble with my mom because I stole my cousin's Face action figure and was kissing it when my mom found me. Oh, she was so mad and I couldn't understand why. I mean all the girls on the tv were always kissing on Face. Lol. Sharlto was supposed to be in MIB3 but dropped out (which I'm TOTALLY sad about) to do Elysium with Neill Blomkamp. But it won't even be out till 2013. *sad panda*
I did watch the 1960s Batman, and The Green Hornet, but don't remember A-Team! I guess I just watched all the wrong stuff, hehe! And yeah, the Cylon had to be explained to me. xD I've also never seen Battlestar... *fail*
Bwhahaha, why not kiss on Face? He's very good for that! I mean, I'm much older now and I still kinda want to kiss my Face toy...though more so the Murdock one...
That makes me sad too, BUT, Neill is an amazing guy. And I'm sure it will be an amazing movie! Ooo, maybe I'll get to read that one. *keeps fingers crossed!* And I hope they mean EARLY 2013, cause not sure I can wait...
Oh man I love me some Battlestar Galactica. It's so cheesy good. I REFUSE to watch the redo. Every time E says she wants to watch it I go screaming from the room with my hands over my ears, "STARBUCK'S NOT A GIRL!!!!!!" Read that one, huh?
I kinda want to watch both. Just because the new one looks awesome, and the old one because I love me some Dirk and some cheese and the originals of things. Still a fan of the original Willy Wonka still just because Gene Wilder = awesome. :D
I have a second job where I read movie scripts for a production house and recommend if they should buy or not (whether they take my opinion or not, who knows). Usually I read more commercial films, so not sure if Elysium will ever cross my desk, but hopefully it will...
OOOMMMMGGGG that sounds like the freaking greatest job ever. I so want that. I am TOTALLY jealous. Damn and I thought selling sex toys was an awesome job. Lol.
I absolutely LOVE that job! :D BUT - it is not consistent at all. I haven't had work in months, literally. Last one was in November, probably October really. I'm hoping for work in February, when Sundance hits, but we'll see.
Honestly, I think selling sex toys ranks up there with it though, LOL! I mean, just the sheer amount of dropped jaws it gets is so worth it!
How'd you get the job? I absolutely love what I do. I'm so glad I found it. I have never had so much fun "working". Though honestly it's not much work, going to people's houses, having some drinks, showing the toys. It's seriously the perfect job for me. Lol.
Don't you love it when you just find something that makes you smile, even though you're getting paid to do it? Wish my for-realsies-full-time job was like that. xD I got my script reading job through a different production office I used to intern for, way back when I lived in Hollywood for a few months.
That is so totally epically awesome! And yes I freaking LOVE it. I can sit here at home futz around on the computer while watching A-Team episodes then go do a 2 hr. party and come home with $200. It's absolutely spectacular. Plus, it gives me more time to write, which I hadn't done in 8 years but the minute I gave my notice at work BAM there it was. This time I've even got something original besides A-Team that I'm working on so yeah peacing outta a job that's not what you want is the best feeling in the world.
That is so, so awesome! I can imagine it would leave a lot of time to relax and do what you love - like write! And man, original writing, haven't done that in awhile. (My screenwriting teacher would kill me. xD) Do you do a party every day or, how often does that happen?
As long as I do an hour of work a day that has to do with PR I'm good. I mean I make customer calls while watching tv and build flyers in between writing, which is the important thing really. :) It's been kind of a VERY slow month but I expected that because I took most of Dec. off but I usually do between 2-3 parties a week which gives me about what I was making at my old job just in WAYYYYY less hours. :) I have a bridal show I'm doing on Sunday and I'm hoping to get at least 20 parties from it, which would be so very sweet.
Ahhhh, PR. My realsie job is marketing, so I hear you on that. It can be kind of fun, though, and the bridal show sounds like it should be a kick! Do you get free cake while you're at those things? Because I'd be all over the cake vendors... Also, I had no idea these parties were so popular. xD
Oh man I HOPE I get cake. I didn't even think of that before! BONUS!!!! I didn't either until I met my upline mama at a breast cancer conference that me and E were at last year. Our company has over 75000 consultant and we're in Canada, Puerto Rico and we're about to launch in South Africa and Australia. My sponsor made 60k last year. I'm like DAYUMMM I need a portion of that to be good.
75k? And your sponsor made 60k? Dayuuuuuum indeed! Seriously, mind somewhat blown! Holy balls, that is way bigger than I thought! And that's awesome about the expansion! Too bad there isn't company trips available (I'm assuming). Could go stand outside of Copley's studio and drool...
OMG there's no way E would let me go. She's already been told I'd totally peace out in a second if he TOTALLY decided to leave his hot blonde girlfriend for my hobbit looking ass. Because that's seriously realistic. Same applies for Simon Pegg. I'd be gone in a heartbeat. But that's ok she has Jason Segel. Lol.
Bahahahahaha! Yeeeeah, agreed. Though I didn't know he had a girlfriend - I thought he was between. What's bad is this still isn't stopping my vivid fantasy life playing out me landing at the Johannesberg airport and him being there ready to proclaim undying love.
I had to look up Simon Pegg. See, an ex- of mine looks a bit like him and acts like he does in Shaun of the Dead, soooooo he has been totally ruined for me.
