I have this one on my to-watch list: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0446051/ Not exactly a Hollywood movie, and going by the description, not really action/adventure either, but it sounds watchable.
It has about as much plot as Die Hard, but if you like that kind of thing it's immensely watchable. She kicked ass and took names. :D
Anon, ILU. That looks amazing, am ordering it from Amazon right now.

I've never seen Die Hard (I know, I know), but I immensely enjoyed Taken and The Long Kiss Goodnight, both low on plot but full of Liam Neeson/Geena Davis kicking ass and taking names. So if it's anything like these, I'll probably like it. :D

I downloaded and saw it yesterday, nonnie. Thanks for the rec! I liked it. It's a quirky movie, cute :)
Thanks :)
I actually went out and had my hair chopped off and dyed Friday. I always wanted to be a red head so good-bye sandy brown ponytail, hello red pixie :-) It's really cool and I'm happy I did something different.

That's awesome! Pixie red hair rocks. I've been a fake redhead for years now, i'll never go back to brown! Good for you, nonnie. I'm glad you're trying something new. :D :D

OP FYI- I decided on OZ, and I've gotten through the first three seasons so far. I'm really enjoying it. The characters are interesting and multilayered- you see the people they are in OZ, and the people they are with their families, and it's possible to be sympathetic with almost every character, on some level. The constant plotting between the prisoners (often one gang, plotting against another) is interesting to watch unfold. My love for Ryan O'Reily, the biggest schemer out of all of them, knows no bounds. It is incredibly violent but, apparently, my tolerance is higher than I thought, cause it hasn't put me off the show yet.
Thank you for the other suggestions. When I finish up with OZ, I was planning on Torchwood or Rome, but if I'm still in a "criminal justice" mood, I might go for The Wire. What do you guys think?

When my friends that I live with went away for the weekend everything was fine. Now they're back and giving me the impression that my company isn't welcome. It's a dynamic I'm familiar with, it usually means they've had a good bitching session and now are feeling united in their dislike of me. So I guess I can say goodbye to another group of friends. Better start looking for somewhere else to live huh?
I'm lonely, anons. So fucking lonely.

SA Yeah yeah, I know. Cool story bro. Just wanted to get it off my chest.
*hugs*
That sounds miserable, nonnie. I'm really sorry.
Can you raise the issue with your friends? Maybe there's been a misunderstanding.

Don't take this as criticism, because it's coming from someone who also has no clue as to how to get along with her fellow human beings (and hence the internet interaction), but what do you think you did that made them want to have a private bitch session about you? If it's a situation you've seen over and over, then you must have some idea what you're doing that's pissing people off.
I'm socially awkward as hell, anon. That seems to be the underlining factor in every friendship that's gone wrong.
None of them particularly liked me to start with, so I'm not sure how that would go. Yeah I hang out with people that tolerate me, not like me. Pathetic huh?

Aw, don't be so hard on yourself. You're in a sucky situation right now and you're lacking emotional support. That doesn't make you pathetic.
I realise this isn't the easiest thing, especially if you're shy or socially awkward, but try and talk with the people you live with, find out what their problem with you is. If you're already gearing yourself up to cut ties with them and move out, what have you got to lose?

This happened to me, many times, with my room mates in college. I moved out and I have to say that I'm not friends with any of them now. And it's a decision I'll never regret. I think, sometimes, people need a common person to bitch about in their group of friends. And it's usually the one who's a bit different from them.
So don't feel so bad, nonnie. And I hope you find someone you have more in common with :)

I'm sorry, nonnie. That doesn't sound like a very happy situation.
I, too, am (was?) horribly socially awkward, and it happened very frequently that the friends I thought were awesome friends distanced themselves from me, and it was like "oh well, guess I screwed this up too" without really knowing what I'd done wrong. BUT. Fear not! I don't want to say that our experiences are going to be the same, 'cause everyone's different, but I just want to let you know that after each time I cycled through a new group of friends I grew and learned, and realised that those people were never real friends, or the kind of people I'm supposed to be with. And before I knew it I wasn't as socially awkward, or I found people that don't mind my social awkwardness, and now I have lots of friends. It's still weird sometimes, and I'm sure there are people that think I'm too weird, but there are others that like me just for who I am (and I probably know how to not be as much of a socially awkward person, just a little ;)).
So keep your chin up, nonnie, if these people are not the people for you then so be it, move on, but you'll find your place, I'm sure of it :)

Thanks, anon. You're right, I should at least try.
Thanks anon. You give me hope. Maybe it's time to just move on if I can't sort things out.
Yes, yes that's the cycle I'm stuck in! Guess I just haven't reached the less socially awkward, friends stage yet.
Thank you nonnie for your kind words. <3

Awesome! I love pixie cuts, they're just sassy, feminine, cute and classy at the same time. I'll bet you look fabulous, anon. :D
What sort of things were on your coffee pot list, anon? Was it a list of things you had to do? Or a list of cool things for you to do as well as your responsibilities?

I love season one of OZ. I'm a big Ryan O'Reily fan and I really dig his story there, starting from a lowly gen-pop inmate and finishing as one of the riot leaders, despite having no gang of his own. ♥ Not to mention, I ship him with Adebisi so hard.
Word of warning though: OZ runs out of awesome by the time the first part of season 4 ends, so your enjoyment of the series may suffer a bit. I usually skip the remaining 2 1/2 seasons on rewatch :)
As for other series to watch after OZ, I wholeheartedly recommend The Wire - it is my favorite TV series of all time, after all - but I'd suggest picking some lighter fare to watch before it, as a palate cleanser. I think Rome would do nicely here. You might also try a sitcom like Arrested Development.

Move on or not but don't make too much of it. You seem like a kind, nice person. I'd be your friend :D

When I first started doing posting them it was the things that kept me up at night - that I could do nothing about until tomorrow that was a problem. You know how you get obsessed with trying to solve something, then I'd be up all night and then too tired to take care of the house and the house became a true disaster. So it would be like call about one bill I owe, take out trash, make a grocery list. Nothing major but all the little things that just seemed too much. It did help because I wasn't over whelmed trying to think how I would get everything done. I learned it didn't all have to be done BUT I did need to get organized and de-stressed and then things wouldn't get so out of hand. It has helped in the long run because I find that in the past year in a half that more important decisions are easier to handle.
And I just have to say this is OT but another friend just got her butt slapped by a hot country singer. She's hilarious about it.
