1. Comment on this post.
2. I will give you a letter.
3. Think of 5 fictional characters and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ
Trout was kind and granted me my request for the EASIEST letter ever .... L. *g*
1. Leia Organa (Star Wars): I mean, seriously. She's the goddess divine of my childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. I suspect she'll still be there for middle-age and senility, too. In fact, I have a sneaking suspicion that I'll be in an old-folks home, pretending to be Princess Leia, calling my kids Jaina, Jacen and Anakin. She's the character I can most easily write, and I love her to pieces. Plus, she's half of my OTP and married to Han friggin' Solo. Awesomeness.
2. Lord Voldemort (Harry Potter): Evil and kind of creepy with no nose. He sounds like the kind of guy you see in new-age bookstores at 2am when you're with friends you shouldn't be with, in a part of town you shouldn't be in, at an hour that is just a tad on the more dangerous side. There's also a lot of creepy fanfics written about him and various children under 18. Well, I guess that's kind of a given in the HP-verse. Oh! And you must remember the creepy fanfics about him and Dumbledore and squeeishness of the ultra-weird variety.
3. Lauren Reed (Alias): Badass chick of Alias, season 3. Kind of. She was actually good for most of her screentime, except she was exceedingly dull during those times too. She got interesting when she was evil ... or when she started doing dirty things with Sark. Actually, anyone becomes interesting when they do that, I suppose. Le sigh. I like the idea of Lauren. I think if the writers of Alias hadn't suddenly decided to SUCK, she could've been a fun character, a foil for Sydney. Alas, no such luck. Lauren wound up in the big vat o' villians at the end of the season, never to be heard from again.
4. Laurent (Twilight): He's ... a bad vampire? Kind of? I mean ... I don't think it's necessarily right to say that a vampire is bad, because they're bad by definition. It's not Laurent's fault that he tries to eat Bella, or that SMeyer was feeling so very odd when she made him attack her in New Moon when he hadn't in Twilight. He's an innocent! I also don't remember him and Irina hooking up, though that was a major part of Breaking Dawn, so whatev. I've long accepted that Twilight verse is like a weird trip into teenage-angst-land, so I can accept pretty much everything else.
5. Lucille 2 (Arrested Development): Yeah. Odd choice, I know. Here I have all my favorite things - SW, HP, Alias, and Twilight - and then tack on AD for no apparent reason. Well, you're right. There is no real reason. Other than that I would marry Lucille 2 if I could. I think she's fabulous and that I've never loved watching Liza Minnelli as much as I do on AD. :P If being old with a bad case of vertigo could get any sexier, Lucille 2 could do it.
The unfortunate runners-up for my list are, of course, Laura Roslin and Lee Adama, both of which were ones that Trout may have expected, and so I didn't choose them out of spite. Luke Skywalker was another hefty option. I also had candidates from Scrubs, ER, Beauty and the Beast, and various characters from classical lit ... but I am lame enough as it is. :P
Also, extreme potassium deficiency DOES NOT make what happened to me last night rational AT ALL. I was up for two hours, rolling around on my floor, trying to convince myself that I didn't have some awful neurological disorder that made my calves and arches spasm and cramp endlessly the whole time. The only thing I had in my kitchen that could help me was some potassium supplements, but I can't take them without food, so when I was finally able to sit up and drag myself to the kitchen, I had to cook soup and make myself a sandwich at 2:30 AM so that I could take the stupid supplement.
Thankfully, I didn't have another attack, though I was late for work this morning. :)
