OMG, calories!!!! ...and other stuff

[alliecat8]

Y'all, if I keel over from a heart attack in the next day or so, here's why: Backyard Burgers' Steakhouse burger is made of teh awesomeness. And I can't seem to go thru their drive-thru without ordering Miz Grazi's chile-cheese fries. Gah, if I knew how many calories I just ate for lunch I'd probably have a heart attack just from shock! Guess it's salmon steaks and lettuce for dinner for the next couple of weeks. But...yum. It was SO worth it.

OMG, did one of my tv boyfriends just steal a role from my ultimate all-time favorite tv boyfriend? Gambit has been cast. (link courtesy of fosfomifira and an OMG email from eponine119.) :) Since I know woefully little about X-Men I can't comment intelligently on the pros and cons of this (though when has that stopped me before? :p ), but it seems to me that Josh was basically told that the role was his if he wanted it, and he wasn't sure he wanted it. At least I hope that's what it is -- I'm all worried that Josh's feelings are hurt. *pets and loves him, just in case*

Random question: Is it too late for me to post a trip report from my L.A. vacation? Because I so totally meant to do that, and didn't (yet). Seems like I *should* before I go to NYC, yeah? Or would that just be self-indulgent after all this time?

I'm getting a weird vibe from one corner of LJ lately, and it's worrying me (my middle name is Worrywart, obviously). The only way I know to deal with it is to check it out, so, have I done something lately that hurt anybody's feelings or pissed them off? If so, yikes, I had no idea! I thought everything was happy 'round here! And, I cannot tell you how glad and grateful I am for your hugs, advice, and support in a time of RL woes. *HUGS BACK TIGHT*, and *apologizes profusely if I did something bad*

I've got a collection of sayings thumbtacked to the walls around my desk; most of them happy-thoughts to keep me focused on the positive. (Mother Teresa's "Anyway" poem, for instance.) One of them, though, I stuck up there as cautionary advice to myself: So long as you are secure you will count many friends. If your life becomes clouded you will be alone -- Ovid. It depresses me every time I look at it, and I don't even think I believe it. I'm curious to hear what you guys think -- true or full of sh*t? Opinions, anyone?

Now I really wanna spread some more LJ love, so that's what I'm gonna do. Come here if you want me to heap some lovin' on you! ♥

Oooh, and one last thing -- over the weekend I treated myself to halfdutch's awesomely beautiful Josh mood theme, and I am in lurrrrrrve. He's so pretty, and halfdutch is Queen of the World for making and sharing it! *smooches!*

Aww, yay! :) Enjoy the many moods of Josh!

*smooches* And sometimes you just need fries!

[siluria]

*loves on you* - just because I can :)

And go eat fries! You can always diet later! Resistance is futile and all that.... besides, I find abstaining makes me crabby. Did I say I was good at making up excuses???? ;)

Oh man, Taylor Kitsch as Gambit? If it wasn't Josh (or Christian Kane who I always thought would be good) and they were going younger, Taylor is a pretty good choice. It'll be interesting to see if he can pull it off. As a huge Gambit fan, he better...

:)
Of course, now they just have to re-cast Rogue and I'll be a happy little fangirl

I'm next to certain that Josh wasn't interested. Every interview I'd read where the it was mentioned (which, granted, was only a few) it seemed like they were after him for the role, but he seemed really apathetic about it. It didn't seem like he was to terribly interested, from what I could gather.

OMG HI! Haven't commented in a long time. BUT I HAVE BEEN MEANING TO. :/ It's just that now, I have something to say!

Josh was basically told that the role was his if he wanted it, and he wasn't sure he wanted it

Josh turned down the role a couple of years ago, way back when the second movie came out, because he didn't want to be typecast as a smooth-talking Southern hottie womanizer...person. They were thinking anout a couple of other people but I'm SO GLAD they chose Taylor. Because I have no idea who Bailey Chase is, but Leifield is the idiot who draws Gambit with the jawline that looks like a frickin' cliff face. And that's bad. :/

Um. I love you, and I haven't been around, but I so will be! I don't know much about Taylor Kitsch, wanna squee together? I could shove Gambit things at you. It'd be a party. :D

So long as you are secure you will count many friends. If your life becomes clouded you will be alone I think this is what I was trying to say yesterday. Trust Ovid to be smarter and more articulate than me.

I totally want to see an LA trip report. since I decided to spare everyone from my drivel this time. ;) didn't you say you'd written half of it already? should be easy to finish, right? I want to see what you thought.

it's never too late for a trip report! lol! I would love to see it.

I made up my mind a while ago that Josh wouldn't do Gambit... but I think that considering the other options, Taylor is a good choice.

I think there is some truth in what Ovid says. but I take secure as secure in yourself, in your own worth. it's way more attractive for people who wants to be friends. BUT once you have friends, if you have a hard time in your life, they will stay there. you may not attract new one just then, you know? so yeah. I think it's true, but the last part is a bit harsh, I don't believe it much.

This calls for this icon:


Now I want cheese fries lol.

It sounds better this way: So long as you have many friends your life will be secure, if you are alone, your life will become clouded.

But even that's kind of depressing. I guess it depends on your definition of "secure" and "clouded." Like, maybe if you're INSECURE and you do dumb things like lie and hurt people to make yourself feel better or to have a sense of control, then no you're not gonna have many friends. But if you're secure with yourself and don't do that kind of stuff, then you'll have friends? Hmm....
