1. Tell you why I friended you. I think I friended you because we had a conversation one day and just decided to friend each other! I had been wanting to friend you for a really long time, but was too shy. You being the BNF you are and all. I was a fangirl first and a friend second. <3
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc. MAI. No question. Whenever I think of Mai I inevitably think of something you said about her or something you wrote in a fic or how my desperate love for her partly stems from yours. But I also heavily associate you with Mai/Zuko. You're just... REALLY ASSOCIATEABLE?
3. Tell you something I like about you. Your straightforwardness. I've always admired your intellect, but was most impressed with the way you present your ideas. You've never pandered, never compromised, never conceded for the sake of simplicity. And I can't tell you how much I respect the hell out of that.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you. One of the first memories I have of you is reading one of your con reports. I forget which one, but it was when Bryan drew you Mai at Mike's insistence. I was linked to it and started reading without noticing who wrote it. It was so detailed and enthralling and fangirlish and I laughed my ass off through the whole thing. After I was done I scrolled up, saw it was by you, and was a little startled. Before that I had only seen your brilliantly fierce posts in the ASN couple's thread, so it took me aback to see a different side of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. What's your guiltiest pleasure ship? (If Pilots is first, what's your SECOND guiltiest pleasure ship?)
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours. THERE ARE SO MANY FABULOUS ONES! But, if pressed, I'd have to say it's between "sometimes she makes him swoon a little" and "a man will put up with a lot for a hot ninja girlfriend." ^__^
I don't believe in GUILTY PLEASURES really. I always feel like if something contains enough to recommend it to make you like it, then you shouldn't feel guilty about it!
But I guess in terms of things I ship that require me to ignore retardedness or something UH... I shipped George/Izzie on Grey's Anatomy before it actually happened and was dumb and even now I still sort of do!
I'm glad you don't suffer from the same horrible affliction I do, wherein I fall in love with things that I'm aware are absolute crap for reasons I cannot discern and then feel compelled to never speak of it to anyone! XD
I never saw Grey's Anatomy! Well, I saw part of an episode where some bomb squad guy exploded all over the hall, but that's all. Am I missing out on something amazing?
It was completely amazing for the first season and about half (or more) of the second and then it descended into being annoying, then it got better, then it got HORRIBLE and now it's tentatively moving back towards acceptable, but most people are ashamed to enjoy it anymore.
Now, it should be noted that a lot of people who were a lot more invested than me felt its descent into suck a lot more strongly. I'm not saying that it didn't descend into suck, however, just that how much it affects you DEPENDS.
Overall, I would highly recommend the first season, more cautiously recommend the second season, and then you could PLAY IT BY EAR for the rest if you felt like it.

That reminds me I still need to see Dexter, too! OH MAN. I've been meaning for so long to round out my viewing of the TRIUMVIRATE OF PERFECTION.
