I basically think of Bill Paxton as Coconut Pete in everything he's in now, whereas I think of Bill Pullman as Lone Star (which made Lost Highway freaking AWESOME).

as an 11-year-old i confused exotic and erotic to the great amusement of my mom and grandma.

i remember in 6 grade science class some kid was reading aloud from a text about amoeba and kept using the phrase "micro orgasm" in a bit of freudian fun.

also, my grandmother once did the micro orgasm thing when reading out a crossword clue. I think the great discomfort I felt probably says more about my (secretly uptight) Freudian unconscious than her slip said of hers.

I remember Bill Paxton because he was the guy with a Secret New Wave Past and Bill Pullman because he appeared in some Sandra Bullock romantic comedy from the '90s. And Paxton has a tougher, more macho appearance to me (which makes his Secret New Wave Past all the more hilarious IMO). Pullman looks more like he comes from the North.

I confused villified and vindicated for a long time.

I always, still, get Mike Ness and Mike Watt mixed up. To my boyfriends everlasting dismay.

i thought Belle and Sebastian were Tuck 'n Patty for a long time, which made me dismissive of Belle and Sebastian. (I had only heard Tuck 'n Patty). So I said they sucked, and people were surprised that I didn't like Belle and Sebastian, but I didn't know I liked them!

I get Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino confused sometimes. Much to everyone on ILX's dismay, these two confessions, I'm guessing! (The boyfriend is especially dismayed about the DeNiro/Pacino confusion.)

"When I was a kid I used to confuse Martin Luther and Martin Luther King."

As an adult playing Trivial Pursuit, two other players almost came to fisticuffs (alcohol-fuelled, which partially explains without excusing) because the dimmer and drunker of the two swore blind ML and MLK were indeed one and the same person.
