Fandom Garden Party

[bop_radar]

Certain among us have decided that the days are very languid of late, so in an effort to invigorate our local community and inspire a sense of festivity, we have decided to hold a Fandom Garden Party. Starting immediately and lasting for a week. (Well, there's no point in doing things by halves, right? *waves 1930s cigarette holder airily*) All

*chinks glasses*

I forget how young you are sometimes! *ponders*
Also, you are very cute to put your ultimate OTP in small. Hee!

Slightly mysterious autodidact
*giggle* That you are!

I really need to read more fic too. *nods*

[radioreverie]

I generally sound like an old woman about things, even *I* forget how young I am sometimes. :D

And yes, I think that description pretty much sums me up!

*slightly ashamed of OTP, still*

♥

You are so thorough! I didn't even think about naming my favourite characters in the other shows I watch. DAMMIT.

I notice you hate Sam Winchester but not Dean. Is that because J-Pad is fugly?

Interested in meeting: Wait, I have to meet people? I'll be hiding behind the buffet table with the gallon jugs of cocktails I've

[bop_radar]

Lovely to see you here! :D

Chlois!
You better have typed that wrong. *frowns at you* :p (You know that in SV fandom 'Chlois' means 'Chloe is the real Lois', yeah?)

I have to meet people? I'll be hiding behind the buffet table with the gallon jugs of cocktails I've swiped.
You don't HAVE to. You're welcome to just scoff all the 'cohols you can manage. *passes you cocktail umbrellas*

I am seriously blushing that you included me in a list of vidders.

[brokenmnemonic]

Lovely to see you here! :D
Who, me? How did you spot me behind the buffet table? Maybe I should be hiding under it...

You better have typed that wrong. *frowns at you* :p (You know that in SV fandom 'Chlois' means 'Chloe is the real Lois', yeah?)
Oh, feth. Make that under the buffet table. Yup, that was meant to be Clois - I didn't even realise there was a 'chlois' term. Am I sad that I don't even think of Clark and Chloe as a serious ship?

You don't HAVE to. You're welcome to just scoff all the 'cohols you can manage. *passes you cocktail umbrellas*
Yeah, but then I'll end up talking enthusiastically, being loud or being unconscious... and I might have to share the cocktails ;) smact46 recommended a sparkling pina colada that sounds gorgeous...

I am seriously blushing that you included me in a list of vidders.
You're an excellent vidder, going from strength to strength.

[bop_radar]

How did you spot me behind the buffet table?
I have powers! *nods*

Am I sad that I don't even think of Clark and Chloe as a serious ship?
You are GREAT! *beams at you*

I'll end up talking enthusiastically, being loud or being unconscious..
Enthusiasm is fine. Loud is... well, I have a very loud laugh so I can't talk. Unconscious is not good though. No-one told me to have a defibrillator on stand-by! *hostess panic moment*

Least favourite characters/ships/shows:SGA. I HATE SGA. Wincest, I don't really hate SPN. I do hate wincest though. a lot. (WTF? WHERE IS THE CANON BASIS PEOPLE? D: D: D:)
What you post on LJ:nothing really. I got bored.

[bop_radar]

OMGBECKYYAY! *fills your glass*

Um...meme? I have regressed back into lurking in other fandoms :|
It's just good to know you're out there!

I er, feel like i'm breaking the spirit of the garden party. D:
Nooo, it's very laidback! You can just snaffle yummy things and be snarky or silent if you like. ;)

People who post very little.
*giggles* Bless you, Becky! There is no-one like you.

SO I CAN DANCE TO IT, SEE?
Me too! Me too! *dances* I wish I had more opportunities for dancing... sometimes I miss my clubbing days.

this question is too hard.
My apologies!

You box?! I did not know this!

[sadface]

I took up boxing recently to try and become less angry and more focused! And it worked except...I have to do it every day and if I skip I get annoyed at the tiniest little things. I must be doing it wrong.

I miss fandom but I'm just so meh about the whole thing recently everyone just seems so drifty and like everyone simultaneously stopped caring or something. I still haven't even bothered to watch the shows I like that have started. Except FNL and that kind of made me sadder. :(

ON A HAPPIER NOTE. UM :D :D :D?

[bop_radar]

if I skip I get annoyed at the tiniest little things. I must be doing it wrong.
*pets* No, maybe you just have years of anger to get out! ;)

everyone just seems so drifty and like everyone simultaneously stopped caring or something
I hear you! *nods* Hence, garden party! *waves drink around hopefully*

I miss talking to you, Becky! We should chat some time, maybe? *hopeful*
