The extracurricular one. Just finished it and submitted the app.

Did your schools require supplement essays? 7 of my 9 schools had extra essays, it has been a brutal vacation in that regard.

I only picked one school for the Common App, so I did not have too hard a time.

Say what?

I never said he wasn't good. Anyone can add something to a film, but did he add anything to acting? I'm not talking Orson Welles in Citizen Kane, but I just think it would be a good career choice to go for a film that is all about the performance. Besides, Jose are the only times I really appreciate acting, when you challenge yourself, or take on a challenging role. Another actor could have played his part, can ou name me someone wo could have played these roles the same?

Malcolm McDowell - A Clockwork Orange
Edward Norton - American History X
Ellen Page - Juno
Joaquin Phoenix - The Master

Flms like those, ones that you can say really were made by the acting, the Social Network was not.

What do you mean he didn't add anything to acting? How many performances can you say that about? Not very many. A performance like Ellen Page's in Juno didn't add anything to acting either, but it was still a very good performance in which the actress showed plenty of emotional range. He had a role to serve in the film and he did it flawlessly. He was charismatic and vulnerable and the film would not have worked without him. Sure, it's not on par with some of those you mentioned (I still haven't seen The Master ), those roles involved entire physical and emotional transformations and that simply wasn't needed with his character, but it was still, in my eyes, a very good performance. I hope he does try to take more challenging roles as his career progresses but so far he's done well in most of the stuff he's been in.

About to begin reading The Picture of Dorian Gray. I've probably asked before, but who's read it?

Christian bale comes to mind for American History x, i think we can argue that he could of done a better job than norton. No hate tho, Norton da gawd.

Malcom McDowell

Masterpiece of a film. Novel is great also.

His career would never live up to such a performance, every time I see him it is something to do with A Clockwork Orange.

He'd make a good narrator tbh.

Me thinks so. One of my favourite scenes in cinema.

Damn, this book is so quotable.

Got with 2 girls tonight. Didn't even try to pull. So pissed off with myself for doing it. Debating whether I should tell the girl im seeing or just keep it quiet

Don't tell her anything.

Sounds like a horrid life.

It is mate. I'm in pieces. Feel like absolute shit. She's starting to want a bit of commitment though and I'm fucking scared. I'll be meeting her friends and family on Saturday... Fuck

What counts as pulling in England? Penis in vagina, fingering, or just making out?

Just making out I guess. I was really offended though. One of the girls I got with was with her mate, a lad. He came over and told her to stop getting with me as I looked like I was full of STD's

Fucming gay best friend. She left me after that.

Give it a go. I have virtually never gotten with anyone on the one occasion, only really for an extended period, so I couldn't really judge the difference. Still, she may turn out to be a bit needy.
