confessions [and some conclusions]

confession #1: when i'm walking down the street and i throw something into a garbage bin, i often pretend that i'm a spy somehow sending a secret message.
conclusion: i have watched way too many episodes of "alias."

confession #2: i often judge books by their covers, movies by the trailers before them, and people by the books on their shelves, cds in their stereo, and links on their blogs.
conclusion: i'm too lazy to experience things - i want to make up my mind as fast as possible.

confession #3: i really hate it when i get no comments on a post. a lot.
conclusion: i want to know that this isn't meaningless, and apparently meaning is contingent on external affirmation.

confession #4: seeing "the da vinci code" last night upset me more than i thought it would.
conclusion: lies infuriate me, particularly when most people won't take the trouble of finding out the truth.

confession #5: sometimes i think i could fall for a guy solely on the basis of his intelligent and witty contributions to classroom discussions. even if he sat rows and rows in front of me, and i never saw his face.
conclusion: maybe g.mango was right - maybe i would get married for the conversation.

I'm with you on #5. Though I don't know that I'd follow through as far as marriage...

you're pretty lucky i don't judge you by the books on your shelves. (because i know secretly you've never actually read any of them, right?)

I agree with #3. So I guess that means that I should make more comments too eh?

I heard DVC movie focuses less on the chase and more on the religious conspiracy. Is that your take? If so, is that what's upsetting? I'm going to go see it this week.

i haven't read the book yet - for better or for worse. i don't mind historical fiction; i mind lies. :D
