ok, first off, i don't like it when people place the exclamation point in godspeed you black emperor! in the wrong place. especially when the placement makes no sense
( ... )
they moved it to after the you. the first three albums they were godspeed you black emperor! and now they're godspeed you! black emperor. you're still wrong.
hehe - you like junior senior so much, you listed them twice. i commend you for liking them, as well as xiu xiu, & sonic youth. gummo is an amazing film & reminds me of a former love [i like it that you made me nostalgic]. you are a bit of a film snob [is this an understatement?] & i like it. though requiem for a dream is one of my favorite films, purely for its aestheticism & my personal, sentimental attachment, i concur; there are far better films that people have simply not been exposed to.
jesus christ, your art choices made me swoon. you are clever & i hate to sweat [winter is fantastic, though i've never seen snow]. your sophistication makes me feel inadequate. beyond your interests, you feel very familiar to me. reading this application was pleasant, and gave me a comforted feeling; i enjoy you & i think you could really bring something into this community. i wet myself in the first grade because i was afraid i would get locked in the public restroom [i was a bizarre child]. i know the intensity of these kinds of memories.
Another person who will get in because, they listed obscure stuff. Then mixed it with subtle hints that you are really vain.
You're overly condescending. You didn't impress me very much. You just pissed me off in general. You seem like you think your the only person who has ever thought what you are thinking. You are not original, what you have said has been said before by thousands of people, probably better than you will ever be. Get over yourself.
No, you know what, it's not even that. You're really fucking boring. I bet people listen to you talk and fall asleep or look for the most sharp object they can find to stab their ear drums out with.
I'm glad you are leaving. You are incredibly insecure and jealous of knowledge that isnt yours. I promise his potential in a conversation is far more enticing. You are the girl who calls herself intelligent because no one else says it for her. And if you want to speak about vanity, that is vain AND immature.
I hope isolating yourself from learning teaches you that eventually you'll be stupid and uncultured.
You are exactly the reason I am leaving. You think that you are right and everyone else is wrong. You won't have a real conversation but, resort to name calling and then you say am immature.
How am I isolating myself from learning? That statement makes no sense at all. If you had read anything I have said, then you would know that I want to learn from other people. That was the whole point.
I don't have to go out and buy a book or watch a film to learn things. I think I will do just fine. As for me saying I am intelligent, I know I am intelligent. It doesn't matter how many people have told me. I am not looking for praise.
I respect the opinion of sugarcoatedsour, laserbeameyes, frozenicicle, ziuziuziu, meatequalsbad, flood and Matt [whose screenname I cannot remember because it has too many letter changes.]
Some of the others dont comment enough or are too brand new to remark about.
But, you are gregarious and far from entertaining. Your scope is limited. Your personality is droning. Your ego isnt reliable. [You pretty much speak alone when you say you are intelligent and know it.]
If you wanted to learn you'd realize books, films, art, lectures, and obscure appreciations of each are all pertinent to being well understood and culturally diverse. It gives me grief that you can be so intolerable of my knowledge when you absorb detail at a discretion.
it's one thing to just list obscure books and movies, but if you're able to elaborate on your reasons for appreciating them, then it's cool in my book. [which i felt you did]. so, even though i'm not familiar with your taste, i'll have to go with a yes.
When I first read your application I thought it was going to be an automatic yes. You have great taste in music (did you know that the film Northfork contains a godspeed song on its soundtrack?), you list Institute Benjamenta which I have to agree is visually breathtaking, and I agree with the arguments in your paragraph.
But I'm going to say no. I'm sorry, but you are boring. Aside from your references to film (and to a lesser extent, art), I found your answers forgettable, generic, and non-contentious. I just don't get the feeling that you are able to effectively assert your opinions and rip someone a new asshole (pardon my french) if so necessary. Blah.
I feel torn because you listed some interesting choices, and I would like to hear you elaborate on them more. However, I will have to go with a no because of similar reasons Brian listed above. Your "Andy Warhol v2" comment also annoyed the hell out of me. Perhaps when you have gathered more experiences and honed your perspective, you will have something exciting to say.
