(no subject)
1) Okay, just this test on Saturday, and then I have TWO weeks until the next one, instead of ONE like I've had so far.
2) Summerbreak FTW.
3) Release date? I thought we already heard about it? Meh, when it turned out not to be 070707, I lost all interest. MY LAST TINY SHRED OF RESPECT FOR JK DISAPPEARED WITH HER MISSING OUT THIS PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR SYMBOLISM/IRONY/NUMERICAL FUN/AWSOMENESS!!! (But then again why am I surprised? The woman is allergic against numbers...)
4) Meme that I stole from a_white_rain:
1. Post a list of 10 fandoms.
2. Have your friendslist guess your favorite character from each fandom, and up to the six major pairings you support.
3. When guessed, bold the fandom, put in brackets who got it and write a sentence explaining why you like the characters and pairings.
Harry Potter, 4 characters, 6 2 pairings and 1 smoking hot foursome.
Harry, Hermione, Ron and Luna as favorite characters, guessed correctly bysilverjedi: See, always when asked favorite character, I'm miffed over having to choose. I love the trio and I love Luna, I can't choose one of them. Harry and Ron are those typical oblivious boys, Harry is all saving-people-cute and Ron is all talking-while-eating-cute. Hermione and Luna mixed together is how I've been through out my child and teenhood. Plus I'm always weak for the smart bookish types in fiction and Luna is made of awsome.
Ron/Luna, also guessed by silverjedi: OTP. They're awsome together. Though I have to admit that I at times have difficulty to pinpoint exactly what makes them awsome. I'll have to go with the mix their personalities can cause together, and how Luna really throws Ron off the bender when communicating with girls. Maybe it's just the whole thing with the oblivious guy getting together with a girl that suave guys have difficulty to understand. :D
Harry/Hermione, also by silverjedi: Secondary OTP, I suppose one could say. It was the first pairing I ever saw in the books, and had it not been for Luna appearing and interacting with Ron in OotP, this could have remained my ultimate HP-OTP. For one thing, I love friends-turned-lovers. For another, they just clicked in PS. Reading that book for the first time, I knew those two together made the most sense in that genre. To me, anyway.
Neville/Ginny, also by silverjedi: They're cute together. And I liked how Neville seemed to be more inspired to bravery by Ginny in OotP, and the idea of Neville having a softening effect on Ginny. And yes, the whole gender-role-reversal thing they've got just makes it better. :D *sigh* I miss my idea of what Ginny was going to be, a Eowyn-type of character for the HP series. But instead she became the prom queen. -_-'
Luna/Hermione, by silverjedi: :D My slash OTP for HP. And another pairing I can't quite put into words... True attraction of opposites? Hot? Actual tension? *remember OotP* And comforting each other in HBP, not to mention making an awsome teamup. ^_^
H/Hr/R/Lu as the foursome, by rainbowstrlght: My favorite characters, of which each compliments each other. We've got one of each hair colour, and one of each eyecolor. And I just keep imagining Luna saying "Yay! Foursome!", but that's a different story.
Tokyo Mew Mew, 1 character, 2 pairings.
The Simpsons, 3 characters, 6 4 pairings and 1 treesome-diddely. (OMG HINT!!)
Homer/Marge, guessed by rainbowstrlght: They're the extreme OTP of the series. The most functional dysfunctional pairing in all of fiction. Marge and Homer are opposites that work well together, he as the wild card and her as the stable ground.
Bob/Bart, guessed by rowanbrierbrook: Ever since the episode The Great Louse Detective I've shipped them. It's just that in that particular episode it seemed like Bob realised that his obsession with Bart had crossed the line of just wanting to murder him into affection? Admiration? Combining that with the previous Bob-episode in which Bob and Bart saved each others' lives, and Bob leaving the country in the next, it all makes sense.
Homer/Marge/Flanders, guessed by rainbowstrlght: :D We all know Homer and Ned have the best subtext and text gay love, while Homer and Marge is OTLurve. Mix that with Marge having revealed that she does find Ned attractive, and Homer's open mind and maybe wanting to open Ned's mind, and you have a Neighbourino-some!
One Piece, 1 character, 4 pairings and 1 crewsome. (Hint: Not the Buggy crew, though they were close.)
Naruto, 2 pairings.
NaruHina, by silverjedi: They're cute, and when they first met... ♥ I thought Ron/Luna in Naruto. lol, but so cute.
SasuSaku, by silverjedi: I liked how Sasuke could see how Sakura was nervous right as they were going to try for chunin(?) and knew exactly how to instill her confidence. Also how protective they are of each other and how good they work as a team (but that would go for their whole team.)
Dragonball, 2 characters and 1 pairing.
Zelda, 1 character and 1 pairing
Link/Zelda, guessed by hpnic06: I've shipped them since I first played a Zelda game (Ocarina of Time). Link/Malon or those other ones never really caught on to me. Zelda is the archetypal "noble king" and "princess in distress" wrapped into one, always putting the well of her kingdom over her own. Which is part of why their love is so tragic and beautiful, the good princess and good hero who both deserve happiness and love, can't have it because they put the good of others above their own needs. It's like a medieval legend.
Powerpuff girls, 1 character and 1 pairing (this is getting lame....)
Bubbles/Mojo Jo Jo, guessed by rowanbrierbrook: They're cute. And they work together too! I guess I have an affinity for "opposites attract", but also I do blame the scriptwriters that tend to put these two in a context together.
Narnia, 2 pairings.
Lord of the Rings, 1 character and 2 pairings.
Guessers gets cookies!*
*Disclaimer: Note that the cookies, due to logistics and ecomonic reasons can't be in the form of actual wheat-based cookies, but instead of the internet gesture which implies that if you could give the person a cookie without the expense being greater than the cookie itself, you wouldn't hesitate to do so.
