Dragon Age 30 Day 4:
4. Favorite Love Interest

It's amazing how much of my life homework manages to take up these days.  So yes, this is late.  It's also partly late because I couldn't for the life of me think of a good answer to this question.  First of all, I'd already said that Alistair was my favorite character, and I don't really want to repeat ( Read more... )

I've had this thing lately with homework guilt where I can only write fanfic or post on LJ if I'm up late enough that I'm no good to my papers anyway.

So that's where I am right now.

Fun things:

My elven name is apparently Gilraen Tur-anion, which is pretty and nice and I actually think fits me well enough (friends, do you think Gilraen fits me at all ( Read more... )

I really like talking about and analyzing fiction-I always have.  It’s always been especially interesting to me to ponder what I like and don’t like in characters and stories and why.  I also like geeking out about things and going on and on about things I like (doesn’t everybody?).  However, most of the time in fandom I feel like I hear (and ( Read more... )

A pastime I've greatly enjoyed over the course of my life has been to analyze the Star Wars films, oftentimes with my parents, and usually at great length.  (Yes, yes, I know, I'm geeky beyond words.  I've come to accept this XD.)  I don't know if everyone currently on my journal's friend's list knows how much I love Star Wars, actually, but it's ( Read more... )

So, I watched the super-condensed version of the NHK Taiga Drama Shinsengumi! a few days ago (okay, so it was like last week, but whatever).  Yes, it was in Japanese.  No, there were no subtitles.  I'm apparently better than I think I am at picking up the basic gist of scenes in Japanese, but not so good at translating sentence by sentence.  Thank ( Read more... )

So I got pissed today at a Star Trek fic I was reading because they got Sulu's rank wrong--they called him an Ensign, and he's not an Ensign, he's a Lieutenant. GOD WHY DO I KNOW THAT. Sometimes my geekiness amazes even myself (extra geek points if you caught that reference and respond with the next line, I guess). (And actually, I do know why I ( Read more... )

Or anyway, that's what the weekend is for. So I told myself that I'm not allowed to go to sleep until I post a review of L--Change the WorLd, which I saw for the second time today because lady_tigerfish missed it the first time, and seeing movies is much more fun with someone else, especially when that other person can help you translate and such ( Read more... )

I've been playing King of Fighters lately.  And.

Okay, so

So. I'm a kind of off-and-on SMAP fan (SMAP is this sort of Japanese boy band/group of idols/four guys who are in every commercial on Japanese TV that does not have Western movie stars in it--which is an exaggeration that still feels kind of true). My favorite is Kimutaku, whose full name is Kimura Takuya. I appear to be joined in this by about ( Read more... )
