- I am so excited about f_march_madness I can hardly stand it! There are FOURTEEN female characters in the Sweet Sixteen, and SO MANY of them are characters I love! Hermione Granger! Veronica Mars! Donna Noble (SO ridiculously excited she's representing Who)! Sansa Stark! Zoe Washburne! CJ Cregg! MARY CRAWLEY! (I'm quite surprised Violet didn't win the ( Read more... )

* I still never type "nonsense" without expressing feigned shock at my own profanity. Thank you, FAP Debate Thread!

* Been watching Game of Thrones on HBO and started a separate post about it, but I'll just do the short version here instead. I'm enjoying it, but it feels a bit empty. I think it's Exhibit A in my argument that being more ( Read more... )
