share the madness :: Hot? Not! 5:22 am

Hey All,

OK, I've succumbed to the pressure. I'll write... just to let you know, though, that I did try writing a few days ago to describe my weekend, but it crashed, and as my weekend was fun, but not so entertaining for you all, I wasn't in the mood to type it all again. It wasn't up to standard. And since people have responded in favour of my little headlines thing, and since it saves me a lot of time typing, I think I'll do it now.

Geert Agrees To Disclose Information About His Weekend
Geert, despite assuring that his weekend was not too interesting, did consent to divulge a few details for the press. As it turns out, and to no surprise, he went out drinking on Friday night, reuniting with Sydney (among others) for the first time since summer started, but he seemed unwilling to go into details. He does admit, however, to getting quite drunk and doing some silly things, including, but not limited to, losing his beloved Zippo lighter, a memento from his time in the United States of Travesty, knocking over a beer glass and thoroughly soaking Zack, who had this to say "fucking hell, man..." before forgiving Geert, as it is just something that Geert does. After returning home, they both sat down (although Geert lay on the couch at some point) to watch Zoolander, which, in their intoxicated state, seemed even funnier than usual. Saturday was less wild, Geert met up again with Sydney and went to see a movie, which he deemed "not really worth mentioning" and sharing dinner on the beach. He only remained in Cascais for a short while after Sydney left, then joined Dan and Dan in the Blue Room when they too arrived home. Somehow he made it home.

Lunch With Mother Sorts Out Most Of Life's Troubles
On Monday, Geert and his mother, Anneke, went to dinner up at the Moinho in Azoia for their semi-regular check up on each other. Through many hours of conversation, an extension of one the previous day, Anneke realised that Geert needed to relax, and decided to relax the working schedule and once again offer him the chance to leave school, which he declined with a heavy heart and some heavy words. This lunch gave Geert a chance to think about the future, and has decided that, in his gap year, he intends to live and work in The Netherlands, his as yet un-lived-in home, to learn Dutch and how to roll a killer joint. He says, "I only want to make Zack proud"

Italy Offers Refuge To Stressed Teens
In an effort to clear their minds of all troubles of school, under the premise of helping get some work done, the mothers of Ruben, Zack and Geert (Marianne, Linda and Anneke, respectively) and their respective husbands, have decided that a bried stay in Italy with a mutual family friend before getting back into the hell that is school would provide the children with a chance to get their minds and priorities in check, and hopefull get some work done, especially Geert, who as yet has done what he describes as "squat". Although Zack requires some convincing, as he is the only one who fully recognises the after effects of ditching school, Geert feels confident that he can sway the sheep.

Recent Polls Show That Geert Is Not Hot... That Or The World Is A Mean Place
In a lame attempt at humour and relief of boredom (failed on two accounts) Geert posted a photograph of himself on the acclaimed site HotorNot.com. Despite the link on his site offering no more information than "Click 10 .:. You Know You Want To", the masses have spoken loud and clear, and have said "No!". No to what is still in question. The photo has also been called "gay". But then so has Geert. Despite the inserting of a new photo, which he was told was a nicer picture of himself, his approval rating has dropped by some 12%, with a rating of only 7.7. Geert is confident, however, that the low score is only due to what he calls "meanies", who all gave him a score of 1. Despite this, however, Geert claims that he will not be removing the link from his site within the next day or so, depending on how lazy he is, because accessing the template code is, in his own words, "a bitch and a half". His fans, both of them, believe that his lower score is only a temporary thing, and are pressing for a recount. So far the Supreme Court has yet to rule.

Well, I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as i enjoyed missing out on what is apparantly much needed beauty sleep. It's now a quarter past five in the morning, and I want to sleep... I seem to be developing insomnia. Must be from watching Fight Club and Lost In Translation too many times, and the fact that both films feature insomnia has rubbed off on me. Fkin movies...

Anyway, short but sweet goodbye. First, Welcome Back to Sydney and Noelle, who is convinced that I hate her. Well done... also, I enjoy the banterings in the chatterbox, keep 'em coming. due to the massive amounts of porn on my computer, I have trouble leaving notes of my own, so I guess I'll be a little silent there. Also, in response to Tyler's little question: to put pictures on your site, upload them onto the net using an image hoster like TinyPic.com. Take the URL that is offered, and use that in your post. The HTML will be recognised, and your photo will be up. Feel free to ask more if anything is unclear. And to Kalex, welcome again to Portugal. You must be going to some wierd places in Cascais, because I have yet to meet a shop person who will admit to being able to speak english. Let me know if you need any help with suggestions of things to do in Cascais.
and finally, because I haven't done it in a while, I thought I'd give you a quote to work on. it's easy, don't worry. first to get it wins their Warhol-approved 15 minutes of fame.
"you met me at a very strange time in my life"

Now the goodbye.
goodbye.

If my comment was lost in the ether I'll be livid. So this is a test.

Fight Club =)

By Blogger ED, at 2:04 pm  

It was lost. Well, to recap, it was along these lines:

Alright, Dutch Boy, a template that does not cause seizures! ;D And a seriously funny post too. I like the format so much I might just have to use it some time. Workload beckons so must scramble, but I'll keep an eye on you (ominous-sounding, isn't it?).

PS - Welcom aan slapeloosheid, ongelukkigerwijs. (My German tells me this should be about right)

By Blogger Lioness, at 2:05 pm  

This is the first time I'm commenting on my own site... it's wierd, but the easiest and most subtle way of answering the other comments.
Marg, you are right, of course, it is Fight Club. I thought I'd give an easy one to start off. What I'm going to do from now on is make sure each quote links to the other somehow... like I did Fight Club, so maybe I'll get a quote from another David Fincher movie, or a Brad Pitt movie etc... it's a subtle way to give hints. I'm all into subtlety today, I guess. Enjoy your fifteen minutes... they're nearly up. And nice site, by the way... not as **fabtastic** as mine :) but lovely.

Lioness, thanks for taking the time and effort to make sure your comment got through. As for the template... you mentioned the epileptic effect before, but it's always been the same template, since day 1 (or 2)... but I'm glad you're able to maintain eye contact. As for the dutch, I'm sure it's right, but remember, I don't speak dutch, so it's all greek to me.

And, because of a private comment from Noelle, I thought I'd straighten something out. She doesn't hate me. So she says...

Anyway, I'll save anything else for my next post.

I forgot to include the next quote. Remember, it's linked. One step. Thoght is's (guess it) subtle.
"Ass to Ass"

By Blogger notgeert, at 2:47 pm  

Hello.

I must say, I am impressed. within minutes of adding that new quote, Jess managed to find the source (though it wasnt that hard) which was "Requiem for a Dream".
However, to increase difficulty, I'm going to need someone to point out the link between Fight Club (answer to quote #1) and Requiem For A Dream (quote #2)
I'll give you a clue: they have an actor in common. I'll never have the link be something like 'same editor', because nobody should know that, though occasionally the link will be the screenplay writer.
Anyway, just to keep the flow going, I'm going to give another quote. This time, the link has to be included in the answer. And I'm still waiting for the last one to get the real prize (Jess only gets 7 and a half minutes of fame)
She never gets old. How can she be real if she never gets old? for those non-movie buffs, I suggest going to IMDB.com for help... it's a great site full of movie information.
enjoy.

This one has to be Russel Crowe in "A Brilliant Mind" talking about the little girl. Right? It might also be that I fully missed the whole point of the contest, hence proving i really should be studying and not digressing. Back to the books!

By Blogger Lioness, at 4:13 pm  

absolutely right. you missed however, the link between requiem and a beautiful mind, but that's ok, it's been spotted. look up for the newest post with the newest quote.
you do write fast ;)

OK, I'm hooked. Bearing in mind that older people have lost some of their freshness, kindly explain what this quote is supposed to be linked to. I feel like a cine-paleonthologist looking for the missing link.

tanks for the compliment to my site, G =)
