"You have no idea"

[pjthompson]

Dude, I would have thought I was much weirder and certainly more peculiar. I scoff at their designation of convention. Bah, I say!

(Bonus points to whoever gets the movie reference in the subject line.)

Hmm... the line sounds familiar, but dangit I can't recall the movie.

[pjthompson]

Jeremy Irons as Claus Von Bulow in Reversal of Fortune, right after Dershowitz tells him, "You are a very strange man."

[kmkibble75.livejournal.com]

Okay, that's one I definitely haven't seen... but it fits Irons' voice perfectly.

[pjthompson]

It's a great movie, and Irons gives such a deliciously weird performance. Definitely worth seeing. I think that's the one he got the Oscar for.

Lion King!

[pjthompson]

Close!

Jeremy Irons as Claus Von Bulow in Reversal of Fortune, right after Dershowitz tells him, "You are a very strange man."

[hominysnark.livejournal.com]

I should totally get half points for that, since the Lion King line is an in-joke reference to Reversal of Fortune.

And besides, that line is said in response to direct accusations of weirdness, not just strangeness. :)

[pjthompson]

That's why I said you were close. Jeremy Irons did the voice, too, didn't he? I'm granting you a half point. ;-)

[hominysnark.livejournal.com]

He did!

Yay half point!

*boogies*

(That's not sad, is it? Is it?)

[pjthompson]

Not at all sad, nope. So I'm awarding another half point for the fine dancing. :-)

[merebrillante.livejournal.com]

Dammit. I know that reference. I want to say it's from Ghostbusters, but that still doesn't feel right.

[pjthompson]

Another fine guess, but I was thinking of Jeremy Irons as Claus Von Bulow in Reversal of Fortune, right after Dershowitz tells him, "You are a very strange man."

[merebrillante.livejournal.com]

Damn! I knew that one!

[pjthompson]

I knew you knew, just failed to remember, so I'm awarding a half-point for half-remembering. :-)

[merebrillante.livejournal.com]

Smartass.

[pjthompson]

Atza me!

weirdness... sign me up

Well, considering the post I just put up was supposed to be my friends only list (aka my clients only) from a private community (that defaults to a friends-only setting) and ended up going out to the world from my journal instead (which defaults to public) (and took about 1/2 hour to remove thanks to my computer crashing out right when I realized where I'd posted it) my weirdness factor could have just gone up a bit. Thanks for noting it -- it's down now. So you know my news a couple days early (along with my clients and any other of my regular blog readers who happened to check my blog around 7:45 p.m. EST.) : )

Ah, computers. Gotta love 'em. But I read the post through for damage control and I have to say... I'm pretty happy that I have nothing but good things to say about people I've worked with and people I'll soon work with. (Sorry for posting here in case I'm off topic--you can feel free to delete. Just wanted to thank you for giving me the heads-up so quickly.)

But just for the record... I think weirdness is good. I've never met a boring person who wrote a great novel. On the other hand, I'm not sure I'd want to agent a writer who was in the top 2% of weird, you know? (Then again... maybe....)

You're quite welcome. You've always seemed like a straight shooter to me and I wanted to give you the heads up.

Since I'm 39% weird, I concur completely. And about the top 2 percent, too. Good luck with your new situation!
