A picture's worth a personality

I like today. Today is a good day. Today is a FREE day, which is a total novelty. I haven't had a free day in weeks! And the best thing about today is that it's rainy and gross outside, so I am completely justified in staying inside and watching television and writing! Plus, I already forced myself to go to the gym this morning. NO OBLIGATIONS.

I just put Rachel's Tri-Om posters on my walls, which essentially means that I'm almost out of wall space for posters! This is incredibly exciting. I, like many college students, subscribe to the belief that posters = personality. The more posters, the more personality. I have a lot of posters. I am so fucking interesting.

Of course, when I actually consider the posters, I realize that they make me seem like a film snob and a geek. But I don't care! Because I have posters! And personality! But I can't escape that forever. I'm going to go through my posters now and figure out what they really say about me. I will spare no feelings. I will take no prisoners. This will be ruthless, bloody, and probably not very serious.

1.) Arrested Development: This is where that "Oh, did you know I'm in college?" undercurrent starts. I've only met one college student who DIDN'T like Arrested Development, and we shun her in public.
2.) Star Wars: A New Hope: I don't care what you say, that movie is fucking awesome.
3.) Ministry of Silly Walks/Johnny Depp: "I was raised on British TV, thanks, Dad" and "I'm a straight girl".
4.) Blues Brothers: This is where the shame comes in. I haven't actually seen this movie. The poster was Charlotte's and she offered it to me for free and...oh, God, I'm so sorry!
5.) TV poster: This is basically just a piece of white posterboard on which are taped a bunch of different pictures from TV shows and movies that I've liked. It's poorly made and juvenile and I LOVE IT. I will protect it with my life.
6.) Poster about immigration from El Salvador: "Did you know that I'm socially conscious? You should be friends with me!"
7.) GAP ad with the guys from SNL: I am a consumer. I watch television.
8.) Pictures of friends: "I AM NOT A HERMIT I DO TOO KNOW PEOPLE."
9.) postcards of Ghostbusters, the Rat Pack and The Godfather: "Damn straight I'm a film student. Allow me to take this opportunity to annoy the shit out of you." This is only helped by the fact that the Godfather postcard is in fucking ITALIAN.
10.) Picture of Neil Patrick Harris from a magazine article: "I harbor unrealistic hopes about men. I'm also possibly delusional."
11.) How I Met Your Mother and In Bruges: Like Star Wars, I have nothing to apologize for here. SUCK IT, WORLD.
12.) Humphrey Bogart: The best story about this poster is that my mother wouldn't let me put it up when I first moved in freshman year until Anna's mother left because it has the words "The whole world is about three drinks behind" on it, and she didn't want the Cosnahans thinking I was an alkie.
13.) Greatest Movie Quotes: This might be the most inexcusable one. I don't actually agree with a lot of the quotes they've got on this poster, but MOVIES!

But as much as it may seem like I'm poking fun at myself (because I AM), I'm really happy with all the posters. For one thing, the walls at Willard are stark white, and without anything to cover them, I feel like I'm in prison. For another, I think that these posters will provide good conversation pieces for when Robert Downey Jr. comes to visit me.

Yeah...maybe just a little delusional.
