Anyone seen this movie?
Was a favorite of mine during highschool, seems to be a logical precurser to Daria!.
How very!
Priest: "I blame not Heather, but a society that tells it's youth that the answers can be found in the MTv video games"
Mr. Kelly (Kurt's Dad):"I love my dead gay son."
Veronica Sawyer: "Dear Diary, my teen angst bullshit has a bodycount!"
JD: "Our love is god...let's go get a slushie."
Great movie. Was one of my favs. The 3 H's are very similar to Sandi, Stacy and Tiffany. But Quinn is no Veronica.

In fact, Austin Covello uses "Heathers" as something of a backdrop in his fanfic, "A Day in the Life of Stacy." Of course, he also compares Sandi to Hitler and the Fashion Club to the Nazi party, so... :-)

I was going to reference that bit of information, in fact. Have now read that fanfic quite a few times. It's still one of my faves.
"Heathers" is a great movie. I love to watch it whenever it comes on TV. I think Winona Ryder can pick some great movies..."Heathers", "Beetlejuice", "Mermaids", etc. Anyways, I thought it interesting how there would be a connection between the movie and this show. I don't think Daria could actually do what Veronica Sawyer did, but I wouldn't have put it past her had the oblivious turned out to be truly evil types, as the case was with Veronica's detractors in school.
Um...besides, I used to have this little tiny thing for Christian Slater...what? I was 13 the first time I saw the movie. LOL.

Indeed. Not nescesarily the best, just the Official Greatest. Everyone has their own fave fanfic, but for some mysterious reason, everyone just believes that " A.D.I.T.L.O.Stacy". it's sort of assumed. It's like Citizen Kane - It's apparently the greatest film ever, but I've never met anyone who even likes it :P No, I lie, one English teacher. It IS a very good fanfic but...

I agree. "A Day in the Life of Stacy" is good, to be sure, but I like Martin J. Pollard's "Sins of the Past" better. It rates in the top 10 for sure of all the ones I've read (and I've read a LOT of what's out there), and probably top 5 if I bothered to make a list. There are just so many good ones out there, most notably Kara Wild, Michelle Klein-Hass and C. E. Forman. Their stories are always top-rate, and the "shipper factor" is minimal.
<rant> Unlike some of the drivel that's out there, where the shipper element seems to be the only reason it was written at all. Or the ones that are full of spelling and grammatical errors.... granted, my grammar isn't perfect either but puh-leeze, some of the mistakes I see, KEVIN wouldn't even make. Don't even get me started there. Or on the ppl who misspell character names - Brittney, Sandy, Staci, Stacey, et al. There's too much info out there to excuse these mistakes. With two books and lots of web sites, these simply shouldn't exist. </rant>

p.s.: But I agree with you that those spelling mistakes are ridiculous. One time somebody even got MY name wrong (use the initials if Hebrew names make you dizzy, dammit). I managed to bite my tongue, though.
people always get my name (yannacopoulou) wrong. i reckon not one of my friends can spell it. also, there's loads of mistakes made at school because my brother, being male, has the masculine ending to the name (-os instead of -ou). i was worried they'd entered me for my GCSEs with the wrong ending,.
That's why I shortened mine (although this opened up new misspelling opportunities, albeit more interesting ones). But every bill that comes through the door has a different spelling on it. Bjork had the same problem where she was living here, no-one could spell Gudmundsdottir correctly. (Hey, I just checked some sleeve notes and I got it right first time!) I think if your name is four syllables or more then you're just out of luck generally.

Like, hello? If you're going to Anglicize the name, do so correctly. It's AH (rhymes with "nah") - GUI (soft g sound followed by a y sound and an "ih") - LAR (rhymes with "bar"). And if you want to learn the original pronunciation...you should find out if you can roll r's.
Arggggh. LOL. Sorry, am blowing off steam here. *g*

isn't the correct spelling Bj�rk, or was it Bj�rk, I don't remember which kind they use in Iceland (she's from Iceland, isn't she?) ?
The worst thing is if your last name is shorter than your first name. In school they always called me "Benkmann". In fact I didn't even react to "Matthias" anymore. If I ever move to an English speaking country I will cut off the "hias" immediately. MSB
Yes, it's Bj�rk and she is from Iceland. But then again, everyone knows her name is pronounced "Byerk" but they still call her "Byork", and I suppose maybe the Icelandic spelling of Byork would be Bjork. The trouble with Byerk is it sounds insulting, too close to "berk" or just some expression of disgust like "urgh".
-Shez.
i have had many an argument over this. and now i KNOW i'm right. ;)
Aww. Matthias is a cool name. We had this exchange student named Matthias that my Econ teacher would refer to as "Germany", as in "Germany, what do you do about welfare?" or "Germany, what do you do about organ transplants?" as if this exchange student was the whole of Germany, or at least ran it.

I've been trying to match up the Heathers with their Fashion Club counterparts since Season One. (Okay, well, it's not as if I've spent the entire past 2 1/2 years trying to match them up in vain -- I mean, I haven't spent hours in anguish and torment, screaming out "For the love of God, which Fashion Club member IS Heather McNamara like???!!!" I do have have a life you know -- sort of ... what the hell was I talking about?)
Anywaaaaaaaay... here's what I've come up with: Sandi = Heather Chandler (red) (Obvious) Stacy = Heather Duke (green), before she turned megabitch
But I can't quite match up the other two. Heather McNamara (yellow) has too much depth to be either Quinn or Tiffany. And as for Veronica, I can't see her FC counterpart. I see her in Daria, I see her in Jane, I can even see her in Jodie. Maybe if I stare hard enough & drink a couple glasses of white zinfandel, I might even see her in Brittany. (Yellow Heather might match up with the Brittany I saw in "The Misery Chick" as the angst-ridden cheerleader.)
I think I've spent too much time analyzing this already. The Motrin is wearing off, the cramps are kicking in, & I've got to prep for a job interview. I'm out.

And he said Son, you're our man.

Hey, no fair. Only songs with "San Antonio" in the title are these really old and annoying country songs and they usually shorten the name to "San Antone", which really drives me up the wall. *pout*. Hee hee hee. These are actually quite fun to listen to. Hm.
Not even near the "Honorary Old Fart" status (unless you call an "old fart" someone who belts along with Kool & the Gang's "Cherish" whenever said song is on the radio *g*),

Yes, I know-- I went to Chattanooga for a weekend one summer when I worked in Hot-lanta. (The same weekend we fogged the apartment in a futile effort to kill my cousin's cat's fleas. Blecch.) I went and saw the splendor of Rock City, Ruby Falls, and Confederama. Talk about good ol' fashioned trashy roadside attractions! And, of course, I went to the polar opposite of all of that, the magnificent Tennessee Aquarium. A really cool place, I must say, and well worth the trip.

Some years ago I flew Mom and Dad to Chattanooga for a day-trip to the Chattanooga Choo Choo and the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum (It's not far). They were interested in the Chattanooga Choo Choo since they'd both at one time or another had come into the Chattanooga terminal, back when there were actual trains there and when there was such a thing as a passenger train in Tennessee. The TVRM was better, I think, an outdoor exhibit of all kinds of railroad engines. Maybe it's my own interest in machines that makes me appreciate it. My grandfather used to run a train. He started out running steam then transisitioned to diesel some time before he retired.
BTW, that song: I remember hearing some guy sing it once and quite obviously emphasizing the word in the phrase "Pardon me BOY." I suspect that probably was the way it was originally written. It must have been altered in recent years to satisfy modern sensibilities.

Isn't that in Tennessee or something? I think I went through there several times between birth and age 6, when we drove to Florida every year. After about age 6 we stopped and I haven't been there since.
