I got two budgies today! ...and had them for all of two hours. >.<
It's a weird, long, story, but it didn't work out. They had to go back to their former owner, cause I was sure the cats would eat them in their current setup. Sad. I miss having birds. :(
Ok, blatantly stolen from
twisted_angel5, because it looked like fun! (And a way to further put off writing my 12 page essay on the Emerald Ash Borer. Good plan, no?)
Six ships you like:
1. Sam/Jack (SG-1)
2. Daniel/Vala (SG-1)
3. Booth/Brennan (Bones)
4. Gibbs/Abby (NCIS)
5. John/Elizabeth (SGA)
6. Rodney/Carson (SGA)
Three ships you used to like, but don't anymore:
7. Catherine/Warrick (CSI) (I'm now mostly just indifferent)
8. George/Meredith (Grey's Anatomy)
9. Abby/McGee (NCIS)
Three ships in your various fandoms that you can't stand:
10. John/Teyla (SGA)
11. Gibbs/Colonel(?) Mann (NCIS)
12. Cam/Sam (SG-1)
Two ships you're curious about but haven't actually started shipping:
13. John/Rodney (SGA)
14. Ziva/Tony (NCIS)
1. Why do you dislike #11 so much?
(Gibbs/Colonel Mann) There's no real chemistry and she's annoying. Not a great argument, I'll admit. But they just don't fit together, and the total randomness of her character (and them hooking up) irritated me.
2. Who is someone you know that ships #13?
(John/Rodney)Hah. Ooooooh yes (
chocolava, for one). And am slowly being sucked to the dark side. Have progressed to dabbling in the available (plentiful) fanfiction, but haven't decided if I'm all that shippy for them yet.
3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3 (even if the show isn't on the air anymore)?
(Booth/Brennan) Ideal scenario? Yeek, that's tough. I love their banter and their play off eachother, both intellectually and emotionally. Something that includes all that, with a twist of hero!Booth (because I'm a sucker like that).
4. Which is your favorite episode for #1? Try to pick just one, if you can?
Oh, dear. Can't possibly pick just one. Humm... Window of Opportunity is an obvious choice, as is Threads (for it's wonderful cannon-ness)... although I also adore Beneath the Surface and Lost City.
5. How long have you been following couple #6?
(Rodney/Carson) Hee. Since Duet.
6. What's the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring?
(George/Meredith) I thought George's adoration for her was so cute and sad and I loved him for it. I never actually expected much to come from it (they put Meredith and Derek on the billboards for a reason), but the whole messey fallout that happened between them was just... horrible. Gah.
7. Which ship do you prefer - #2 or #4?
(Daniel/Vala or Gibbs/Abby) Right now, Daniel/Vala, because I'm more attached at the moment and I don't think anything real is actually ever going to happen for Gibbs/Abby.
8. You have the power to make one ship non existent. Choose from #10 or #12.
(John/Teyla or Sam/Cam) John/Teyla. Because Sam/Cam in my mind is so impossibly improbable (well, Unending kinda messed with that... but whatever), that meh. John/Teyla was so... orchestrated, right from the beginning (John: "OO! Pretty girl! Here! Have your shiny necklace back with lots of touching!")that it irritates me, immensely.
9. What interests you about #14?
(Ziva/Tony) Their interaction and goofing off this season has been really fun and cute and makes me almost want to ship them. And I've been so reluctant to even think about it, cause I used to be a Kate/Tony shipper (and still am). But... Ziva's whole "He's being invasive! Hospital! Worry!Worry!Worry!" thing started to convert me.
10. When did you stop liking #7?
(Catherine/Warrick) It's not that I don't like them anymore, it's just that I don't really care anymore. Stupid Warrick ran off to get married to stupid Tina, and that just... was so random and out of the blue and killed so much of the happy that I kinda gave up. Plus there was the happy GSR cannon to focus on instead. ;)
11. Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the show?
(Abby/McGee) No way! I converted to Gibbs/Abby and became more of a fan of the show than I was when I was a Abby/McGee shipper, heh.
12. What's a song that reminds you of #5?
(John/Elizabeth) Geh. Other than the SGA main theme? I can't think of one right now. >.<
13. Which of these ships do you love the most?
Sam/Jack!
14. Which do you dislike the most?
John/Teyla. It's so... irritating.
15. If you could have any of these two pairings double date, who would it be?
Any and all of my likable SGA pairings. Because it'd be hilarious and so very, very, awkward.
16. Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if you'd like.
(Daniel/Vala) Hah, yeah. 1st was so she could kick his ass and the 2nd no longer exists in the real timeline. Hmm.
17. Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely?
(Gibbs/Abby) They're not done yet! Although I don't actually think anything cannon will come of it, so... I guess not a happy ending on the shippy front. :(
18. What would make you start shipping #13?
(John/Rodney) Excellent, believable fanfiction.
19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer - #2 or #6?
(Daniel/Vala or Rodney/Carson) Daniel/Vala!
20. You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them?
(John/Teyla) They know that they are close friends and comrades, nothing more. Ideally, we get John/Elizabeth and Teyla/Ronon, but an aknowledgement that J&T are not romantically interested in eachother would be peachy!
Whew, that took longer than I thought it would.
I have to work tomorrow. And write a 12 page paper. Perhaps I should get a little sleep. -_-
