Still getting used to this. I am not very eloquent. Don't expect too much.
I will post some "top fifteen" lists.
I will rant on about stuff.
I will clog up your internets with junk.

Top Fifteen Movie Songs Bonus/15 (in no particular order that I will admit to):
16) "Sixteen Candles"
As performed by the Stray Cats
Film: Sixteen Candles

As this was a bonus one, and rather gratuitous, I am not going to say much about it. I would probably get myself in more trouble than I would like if I did anyway. So let's just leave it at that.
It was on or about my sixteenth birthday when the idea of this list came to mind, so... here you have it. I was like, "Oh, sure, I am sixt ...More Read More

Top Fifteen Movie Songs 15/15 (in no particular order that I will admit to):
15) "More Human Than Human"
I am cheating on this one.

See, Blade Runner - in the movie, the Tyrell corp produces the Nexus replicants (androids). Their motto is "More human than human." Their product has an expiration date. In the movie, the current product generation is "Nexus 6"

And White Zombie - the song has the line, "I am the Nexus One, I want more life [censored] I ain't done." And so on. So, the two are ins ...More Read More

Top Fifteen Movie Songs 14/15 (in no particular order that I will admit to):
14) "Some Enchanted Evening"
Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Film: American Graffiti (1973)

["Some Enchanted Evening"?]
{Yeah}
[Really?]
{Yeah}
[Of all the great songs in the film... Really?]
{Yeah. Hush. I'll explain.}

I remember it well; the first I saw the film. I was about 10 or 11. I was in the hospital and feeling really down and drugged. Mom was like, "Hey, LQ," except she never calls me 'LQ', "Do you want to watch such and such," and, "Blah blah is c ...More Read More

Yeah, well.... I just wanted to update my blog... for no good reason than to update it, but I am not ready with #14 on the movie song list.

Had a different twist on the bad dreams for the past couple nights.

In one dream, I was going down old main street. There was construction and most of it was gravel. Round the corner to the road out of town, where they built up a lot when the money came in in the later part of the 20th century. Nevermind that, but the street was flooded. It got up ...More Read More

13)"People Are Strange"
Written by The Doors
Performed by Echo & The Bunnymen (as Echo and The Bunnymen)
Produced by Ray Manzarek
Courtesy of WEA Records
Film: The Lost Boys (1987)

This was the first... "shared"... music I had ever received. The girl that gave me the CD also introduced me to Echo & The Bunnymen. This was some time ago... like a few years. We had been talking about bands we liked and she sai ...More Read More

Top Fifteen Movie Songs 12/15 (in no particular order that I will admit to):
12)"Navarre And Isabeau's Dual Transformation"
Well, this is almost another "The whole flippin soundtrack" one... and another "just put it on for the music" films. Oh, yeah. I am talking about the Ladyhawke soundtrack, which is effectively by The Alan Parson's Project... almost. Here is the Wikipedia entry on that:

The film's score was composed by Andrew Powell. Richard Donner stated that he was listening to The

Top Fifteen Movie Songs 11/15 (in no particular order that I will admit to):
11)"Wouldn't It Be Good"
Written and Performed by Nik Kershaw
Performed by Danny Hutton Hitters
Film Pretty in Pink (1986) - Yeah, like a lot of these, well before I was born.

It was surprisingly difficult to come up with ONE song for the representative for the list.

Quote:
I got it bad, you don't know how bad I got it
You got it easy, you don't know when you've got it good

Top Fifteen Movie Songs 10/15 (in no particular order that I will admit to):
10) Amadeus - the whole thin - What can I say, it's Mozart.
I mean, the film leaves some to be desired, but as a piece of cinema fiction with good tunes - there you have it.

If I make a top fifteen list of "Films to just put on and listen to," this will be one.
(As will Johnny Mnemonic, Young Einstein, ... wait.. it just seems wrong to have those two titles adjacent. Like Furbies and... well, anything.)

Again, one of my all-time fave films; one of my all-time fave songs. Duh, right? Hello - on the list.
Yahoo Serious is an amazing human. This film was fun and silly and all his. His friends and family helped him make it.
This song has a great beat, and you can dance to it. This ...More Read More

About Me
I am currently sixteen years old, but I expect that will change, eventually - maybe. I started fencing about 4 years ago, with varying levels of competitiveness. I mostly fence for health reasons (stress, fitness, sanity; well, 2 of 3 isn't too bad.) The club where I fence is kinda limited on the schedule, so several of us get together on our own. I teach a little kids fencing class at the local community centre, but it is a small town, so it doesn't always make. I was infected with HIV in 2000, when I was about 7. I am living with it and have a descent life – or I should say most of the issues I have were pre-existing. I managed to control things with diet and exercise, but since about 2005, my immune system surrendered and I started my chemical regime. During the school year I live with my dad and in the summer I stay with my mom. Except this year - staying with Dad. They get along ok as long as they do not have to live together – in the same city. Alaska is kinda big, so they can manage to be in the same state. I like reading I like cycling I like music I like school, but not so much the people in it... myself included because I am evil, just so you know. Sometimes I have issues and whatnot going on in my life and whatnot and I will sometimes blog about it, but mostly I like making Top Fifteen lists. Just search for "Top Fifteen" and you can skip the malarkey. :edit:To day is my sixteenth birthday and I thought I would update this About Me part:/edit:
