So... I was going to picspam you all with some delicious fruit (along with this sexy fella who really enjoys eating it) but I'm afraid that will have to wait for a time when I am in serious procrastination mode. I wish I got paid for procrastinating, because I would be SO FREAKING RICH! Of course, if I was paid to procrastinate, then procrastinating would actually be work, so I would then procrastinate from procrastinating, which would in turn make me do something productive, and then I'd be saying, "Man, I wish I got paid for doing productive things," which I would be in the real non-procrastinating world, but in my imaginary procrastinating world, I get paid for doing nonsensical things, but I wouldn't be doing them in that world, because I'd be super productive. Hmm... a catch 22. Sorry, it's late, and I haven't posted all weekend, and the voice in my head sounds exactly like Charlie Crews at the moment, and that's a little scary (but it's totally turning me on, because he has a sexy voice). So instead I bring you a meme, that is swiped from
krys33 (Hey, what if I got paid for doing memes? That would be SO AWESOME! But then I would procrastinate from doing them, wouldn't I?)
List six of your favorite TV shows and answer the following questions.
1. The Office
2. Life
3. Ugly Betty
4. Psych
5. 30 Rock
6. Boston Legal
1. Who is your favourite character from #2? (Life)
Oh, as if you all don't know this one. CHARLIE CREWS!!!!!! He's so perfectly badass and randomly logical that I just can't resist him. But at the same time, he's kind of a dork, which is charming. Plus, he's kind of mysterious, because you never truly know exactly what's going on in his head. Plus... HE'S GORGEOUS!!! Sorry, that last reason was completely shallow, but you know what? I'm perfectly okay with that.
Bobby Stark is a very close second, by the way. I adore his over-compensating machismo and his ridiculous enthusiasm over anything involving getting back into Charlie's good graces. He is so wracked with guilt, and terribly ashamed of himself for not being more than what he is, and I can't help but want to hug him and never let go.
2. Who is your least favourite character from #4? (Psych)
Oddly enough, my least favorite is Shawn. He just bugs me. But it's kind of a love/hate relationship, because despite me wanting to slap him every 5 minutes, he really is a charming little devil, and I can't help but identify with him.
3. What would a crossover between #1 and #5 include? (The Office/30 Rock)
Um... magic. No, seriously, it would be the greatest thing ever. Can you imagine what kind of crazy adventures Tracy and Michael would go on together? (Michael would totally be a Tracy fanboy). And Andy and Kenneth, OMG! THEY COULD BE DWEEBS TOGETHER! And Dwight and Liz could discuss geeky scifi stuff together (and for some reason I have it in my head that Liz is a huge fan of Lost and 24). And Kevin and Frank would be total BFFs. Oscar and Toofer could have a crazy love affair (well... you know, if Toofer was gay. I think Oscar could make him see the light). And Andy would be sucking up to Jack like crazy. And Jack would be hitting on Kelly. And Toby would be in the corner looking miserable, like he always does. Or he'd be failing miserably at trying to ask out Cerie. And Cerie would be putting the moves on Jim, and Jim would be blushing and in "Uh oh, what do I do?" mode, and then Pam would come over and mark her territory and Cerie would back off, and then Toby would look longingly at Pam, then at Cerie, then Michael and Tracy would insult him, and he'd go back to his desk looking miserable as ever. OMG, I WANT AN OFFICE/30 ROCK CROSSOVER, DAMN IT!
4.Who is your favourite ship from #6? (Boston Legal)
Alan/Denny, because their love is a beautiful thing.
5. If you were to set one person from #3 and one person from #6 on a blind date, who would they be? (Ugly Betty/Boston Legal)
Hmm... I think I'd set up Claire Meade and Denny Crane. OMG, THEY WOULD BE SO PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER! Think about it! He likes them crazy, she likes them rich, it just fits.
6. If you could meet one person from #4 and spend the day with them, who would it be, and what would you do? (Psych)
Lassiter. We would do paperwork all day while pretending to hate each other, then he'd saunter over to my desk and push everything off of it and throw me onto it and crush his lips against mine and we'd have our way with each other. Oh yes. Also, I'd like to meet Juliet, because she's awesome, and I think we'd be pretty good friends.
7. If you could change one thing about #2's plotline, what would you change? (Life)
So much about this show is utter perfection, but honestly, I would have nixed the whole Charlie and Constance are in love thing. I would probably have made the lawyer a guy so that romantic love didn't get in the way and instead we got a beautiful male/male friendship (which could probably even add some more depth to the Charlie/Ted relationship too), and then just kept Charlie in love with his ex wife, or else have Charlie in love with Constance, but have her care for Charlie, but not in love with him because she'd be completely devoted to her husband, and this would put an unrequited angle on the whole thing. As it is, I hate Constance for playing with Charlie's head, and I hate that both of them are so willing to completely disregard her marriage.
8. Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from show #3, and why you like the relationship between them. (Ugly Betty)
Well, I think it's no secret that my favorite relationship is Daniel/Betty. This is such an incredibly beautiful friendship, they are kindred spirits who get each other like no one else, and they are complete opposites, yet made from the same mold. They are the halves that make each other whole. Also, their bickering is adorable, and I love that neither one can resist interfering in the other's life because they care about each other SO MUCH that they just want happiness for each other. And I love that Betty sees in Daniel what no one else can, not even himself, and she actually makes him believe that he can be the man that she sees when she looks at him. Everything he does, he thinks about her reaction. He wants SO BADLY to make her proud of him. I also love that Betty is always shocked at the depth of Daniel's love for her (friendship love, not romantic love [yet]). She still holds him in this place of prestige even though she's seen him at his absolute worst. No matter how bad he screws up, she'll always be there for him, and no matter how wrapped up in his own drama he is, he always notices when something is amiss with her, and he always has to fix it. Their greatest moments are often when Daniel gets to be her unexpected hero, because it's usually very subtle and real, and he does it because he genuinely cares about her, and not because he sets out to be her knight in shining armor. It's just nice when their relationship gets to have that balance, and it's always a beautiful thing when Daniel is able to stop thinking about himself and how everything affects him, and instead thinks purely about Betty. She definitely brings out the best in him, and he brings her out of her comfort zone and makes her aware of just how much she is capable of achieving, and just... GAH! I could go on all night. They belong together, plain and simple. How there are so many who are against this ship turning romantic is beyond me. As far as I am concerned, they planted the seeds from ep 1, and there is just no other way for this to go.
9. If the lead title characters (first name in the credits) from #1 and #5 were both drowning, and you could only save one, who would it be? (The Office/30 Rock)
Michael Scott or Liz Lemon? OMG, are you kidding me? I have to choose between these two? But... but... I can't! Okay, Liz Lemon, because I know that Dwight Schrute would save Michael in a heartbeat. He's got a sixth sense about when Michael's in danger, and he'd just bust in and save the day. Liz, on the other hand, would have no one to save her, because Jack would expect her to save herself, and her staff would be too busy arguing about who should get stuck with the task of saving her, and Kenneth would go in for her, but he'd probably end up latching onto Michael and Dwight by accident, so... yeah, I'd save Liz.
10. If you could change the title characters' order in the credits for #6, what order would you choose? (Boston Legal)
Erm... I don't think I'd change it all. The most important spots are the first and the last (as long as the last has the "and" above it), and that's James Spader and William Shatner, which is as it should be.
11. If you were able to add a new character, any kind of character you wanted, to the storyline for #4, what would the character be like and what would their role be? (Psych)
I'd add a super serious bicycle cop who idolizes Lassiter. That would just be a beautiful thing to see.
12. What happens in your favourite episode of show #2? (Life)
Charlie is super sexy.
It feels like earthquake weather.
Charlie eats a dappled dandy with a very cold look in his eyes.
Titus pretty much cries.
A snake eats a gun.
Charlie digs a hole, then he fills it up.
Bobby talks a lot.
Reese has questions.
Jack has the girl.
Charlie rides around with a dude in his trunk for many, many hours.
Charlie shoots two Not Cops and gets out of his flipped car with some badass music playing in the background while he looks at the dead bodies with absolutely no emotion whatsoever.
Charlie continues to be super sexy.
Charlie picks up his mangled Zen cassette tape
13. If you could kill off one of the characters of #1, who would it be and how would you do it? (The Office)
Well, I wouldn't want to kill any of them, but if I had to choose, it would be Jim. I'd kill him by shooting a poison dart into his throat. *shrugs* Then I'd get out of my flipped car with some badass music playing in the background while I look at his dead body with absolutely no emotion whatsoever.
14. If you got the chance to visit the set for either show #3 or show #5, which would you choose? (Ugly Betty/30 Rock)
Hmm... see, this is a tough one. I'd be more in awe of the 30 Rock cast, but I think I'd have more fun on the set of Ugly Betty, especially if I got to meet Marc and Amanda (can't remember their real names).
15. If you could date anyone from any of these shows, which show and which person?
Um... hmm... WHO DO YOU THINK? ANDY BERNARD!!!! Charlie is a close second, but he has way too many things to work through before we could have a real relationship, but I'd be perfectly happy with a one night stand too. OMG, HE IS SO HOT!!!! But Andy is husband material.
