I'm a little bit short on doable resolutions this year. I'll try to think of two more, but.

In the same spirit as 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008, I hereby present Cam's Doable New Year's Resolutions for 2009:

1. I will end the year with the same number of eyes I had when I started it.
2. I will not grow tentacles.
3. I will not buy a professional football team.
4. I will not leave the planet without a really damn good reason, or at least without leaving a note first.
5. I will not flip off the Mafia.
6. I will not bleed in front of the sharks.
7. I will not use a doomsday weapon to hold the world to ransom.
8. I will not watch Event Horizon.

...you will not trigger a freak dimensional rip, dooming humanity to a slow and painful death?

[camwyn]

NO PROMISES.

I would say that you will not summon C'thulu and doom humanity; nor will you do something involving museums, ancient animals, or robots, but this is YOU we're talking about. *eyeball*

[camwyn]

Smart girl.

What about being in an aquarium and bleeding in front of the shark cage? Does that count?

You can also make one about Not marrying a Russian oligarch.

You might want to put an "on purpose" at the end of Number 5. It's not like members of the Mafia walk around with signs identifying themselves as such.

On the other tentacle, flipping off the entire Mafia at once would take some doing.

man, event horizon IS a freaky movie.

[tundra-no-caps.livejournal.com]

It's scary.

[camwyn]

I've only ever seen parts of it. My mother had the remote control and for some reason kept watching it for a bit, then switching away when it got too freaky. She shut it off completely when it got to the scene with Sam Neill's wife and the bathtub.

I had to hang stuff over my nightstand with the white knobs with black centers (faux eyeballs, anyone?) and mentally surround my bed with not only the Ghostbusters but several members of GI freaking JOE before I was willing to sleep that night- and this was when I was twenty four years old. That's how badly it spooked me.

Hm.

Two things:
1. I watched this movie with friends. I'm not sure if I knew it was going to be a horror movie. After it ended and I went out of the toilet one of them jumped and "Boo!"ed me, it was very scary. I did watch it again since, and I hate horror movies.
2. I've once watched a horror movie and I basically lost consciousness in front of it. My body remained awake, but I have no memory of what was going on. My mother happened to came by and took me to watch the movie my parents were watching down-stairs.

Several friends of mine got to see this movie for free one evening, although it was under rather unpleasant circumstances. They came out of a movie to find that their ride was the backdrop for a drive-by shooting and could not be moved until the scene had been processed and cleared. By way of compensation, the theater offered them free tickets to the movie of their choice. They chose, perhaps poorly given their state of mind, "Event Horizon." To this day, the owner of the truck they drove in believes it to be the scariest movie he ever saw.

*twiiiiitch* I freely admit I cannot imagine watching that thing on the big screen. It was bad enough on the TV. (What I couldn't believe about my mom was that she was watching it at all. Particularly that she actually did not switch away during the deciphered tape scene, which was just confusing enough to make me go 'did I just see that?' but also just disturbing enough to say 'YOU ARE NOT GOING TO EVER FIND OUT FOR SURE WHETHER YOU SAW WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU DID'.)

... I saw it on the big screen. I didn't pay for it, but a bunch of friends and I rented it and then snuck into a media classroom after hours to watch it on their huuuuuge screen.

A word to the wise? This movie does not improve upon consumption of alcohol.

[midnightlurker.livejournal.com]

It has been suggested that said movie is actually a documentary from the version of Earth that will eventually give rise to the Imperium of Warhammer 40,000.

I could believe that they'd gone into the Warp...

[amberdiceless.livejournal.com]

Well, you just resolved to try to think of two more, so technically you're only in the hole for one.

[tundra-no-caps.livejournal.com]

But that's 2008.

[leeshajoy.livejournal.com]

I will not sell out the human race to alien invaders in exchange for political power?

[camwyn]

I'm not into politics anyway. Besides, I promised something similar a few years back.

[valles-uf.livejournal.com]

You will not attempt to deep fat fry ice.

Happy New Year!

I will not attempt to summon anything larger than my head.

I will not run for public office.

In the department of Impossible Resolutions, I resolve to grow tentacles. And get a new job in the Japanese adult video market. :P
