Gravity Wants To Bring Me Down

Nov 08, 2010 18:07

Whew, back from FL. I am SO not a good traveler. You know the people who WON'T get off the plane at the end of the flight? Like, they're just talking and laughing and taking 47 minutes to round up their carry-ons? Like, do they not get it? I have the most irrational urge to stab these kinds of people. Several times. (Does this make me a bad ( Read more... )

You mean there are people who don't want to stab those other people? I find that very hard to believe.

As for the meme, how about Greek? My options are limited since we are two ships, passing in the fandom night these days.

We are, we are, parting is such sweet sorrow...

› favorite character
~Rebecca. Though Ashleigh is of course a close second.

› least favorite character
~Rusty, and probably most any girl who finds him HOT. (Except for Catherine, of course.)

› prettiest character
~Rebecca. (Sparkles!)

› character I wanna marry
~Frightening. College boys are not marriage material, not a one of them. Calvin might actually be the most qualified as of right now, but I don't think I'm his type...

› favorite pairing
~Let's just say The Quad and call it a day.

› favorite episode
~Ooh, it's been a while. I'm thinking maybe...the Thanksgiving episode? You know the one? Where Cappie and Casey kiss and Evan and Rebecca sleep together? Is that the same episode where the ZBZ's burn the Gamma Sig's house down?

› unpopular opinion
~Hmmm....of The Quad, Cappie/Casey is my least favorite pairing. (But I am plenty happy with them, because they wangst less when they're together.)

This might be really difficult for this meme, but I see you have General Hospital in your interests. GH ♥! Or Grey's Anatomy, if GH is too much. (I'm glad to see we actually have a lot of fandoms in common, according to your interests, and not just Taylor/John!)

I'm one of those people who needs to be off the plane as soon as possible, so I get that feeling. And, haha, leaving Florida FTW. I live here and would like nothing better than to be in Boston. :)

Ooh, I shall do both!

General Hospital
› favorite character
~Of all time, with consistency, it has to be Robin Scorpio.

› least favorite character
~Of all time, with consistency...Has to be a cross with Sonny, Jason and Carly. (Jason and Carly have probably edged out Sonny in recent years.)

› prettiest character
~Of all time, with consistency (heh)...Well, Vanessa Marcil is still The Most Beautiful Girl In The World to me.

› character I wanna marry
~For a very long time, I would have said Jasper Jacks...Now...Ehhh....I feel like Steve is a nice normal guy who would make a good husband.

› favorite pairing
~Of ALL TIME...Brenda/Jax. Forever and without question (of any show, of any fandom, EVER).

› favorite episode
~Yeash....Episode....That one we'll have to skip, though I'd love to have a nice, lengthy conversation some time about storyline....(Maybe I'll set up a poll some time this week).

› unpopular opinion~The greatest thing about soap fandom, and GH in particular, is that it is so widespread, you can probably always find ( ... )

I LOVE Robin.

My mom has watched GH since she was a teenager, and got me into it about ten years ago, and while I get super-behind during the school year, I always make her sum up the week for me, story wise, about the characters I care about.

And Vanessa Marcil is GORGEOUS, I have to agree. :)

One of the things I love most about soaps is the fashion. The pretty girls always get the cutest, most fashionable outfits and haircuts. Kristen Storms, I think, while I don't always like Maxie's storylines, always is really pretty. She's like the Aimee Teegarden/Julie Taylor of GH, in terms of perfect-face-symmetry and pretty hair.

I've watched GH since...oh gosh...1993 or so? And I can remember back to about the mid-eighties, when I was five or so. And I don't *really* watch it now, day to day, but I always know what's going on. It's my Forever Fandom. Even when it's killing me.

GH has been doing pretty well with the clothes lately. And I love me some KS/Maxie. Her hair gets a little crazy sometimes, but she does always dress really well.

She's like the Aimee Teegarden/Julie Taylor of GH, in terms of perfect-face-symmetry and pretty hair.

Oh, we clearly have LOTS in common. ^_^ I ADORE Julie Taylor/Aimee Teegarden.

Oh, airplane nemeses. Mine are the ones who try to carry-on a suitcase the size of me. THAT IS NOT GOING TO FIT IN THE OVERHEAD COMPARTMENT, SIR, NOW NOBODY CAN USE THAT BECAUSE YOU PACKED FOR THE APOCALYPSE.

For the meme, Vampire Diaries!

OMG, have they not SEEN MEET THE PARENTS.

Eeeee....I don't watch TVD? (It's been on my to-do list for, oh, ever.) I would somehow feel like I was cheating on my One True Vampires if I did.

ACK, SORRY, I guess I got you confused with... someone else on my flist? I FRIENDED SO MANY NEW PEOPLE LATELY, I AM TERRIBLE AT KEEP TRACK. Do Glee then?

leobrat November 9 2010, 00:24:13 UTC
Yes. I get the feeling, I've been friending like mad lately too, what with NaNo and before_tv and John/Taylor and whatnot.

In any case!

› favorite character
~It's hard to pick, because most of them royally piss me off at one point or another, but I'd have to say Quinn.

› least favorite character
~Depends on the day, but probably Will (though Rachel and Finn both have their moments...as well as many of the others).

› prettiest character
~I think everyone's quite cute. Nobody really knocks my socks off. Quinn/Puck is (was?) my favorite ship, and I do think they look quite pretty together.

› character I wanna marry
~At this point, I'd have to say Hot Carl.

› favorite pairing
~Uhhh, see above. Puck/Quinn. (Though Tina and Mike are about as cute as they come.)

› favorite episode
~Journey really brought it all home last year. I haven't really had that feeling with any of the eps from this season yet.

› unpopular opinion
~Though her voice is technically perfect, I could live quite happily if I never heard Lea Michele sing again.

I have about 6000 words to write tonight if I'm going to 'catch up'. YOU CAN DO EEEEET!

I'm also a tiny bit behind (only about 500-ish words I think)... but I have every faith in both of us! And my thesis is due Friday so I'll be much more 'available' for NaNo after that...

GOOD LUCK AND KEEP GOING!

ETA: Friday Night Lights!

Dude...I don't believe we've ever talked FNL before. It's high time we did!

› favorite character
~It's a toss up between Tami and Julie. For all around, general, wow, what a great person, I love and admire this character so much, it's Tami. For a character that I find endlessly fascinating, Julie.

› least favorite character
~Honestly, this show doesn't do plastic characters. The one character I could never find any purpose in was Noelle, Smash's girlfriend in season 2.

› prettiest character
~Where to *begin*. Oh lord...can I say all of them? Because seriously, all of them.

› character I wanna marry
~Lord, don't we all hope and pray for an Eric Taylor in our lives (though I would NEVER even THINK of breaking up THE BEST MARRIAGE IN AMERICAN TELEVISION).

› favorite pairing
~For realsies? Eric and Tami. However, I went far and away with an incredibly AU pairing that I've been writing for the past three years...Julie and Santiago (from season 2).

› favorite episode~GAH. Cannot do it. Um, um, um...Really I cannot do this. ( ... )

Haha, I don't believe we have either! I must confess, I haven't actually ever watched FNL (it hasn't aired here in Australia... probably something to do with the fact that High School Football American Style would probably not work down here...). BUT... I have read a fair bit of fic (most recently, lindentree's) so I do know a bit about what goes on...

She has all the episodes and apparently, when I'm done with NaNo, I'm going to be watching them all! Haha!

My problem with Eric Taylor is that he'll always be 'Pink Mist' guy to me...!

I can already tell you that my favourite pairing is a non-canon one... why do I always do this to myself?!!! Tim/Julie. Well, maybe I should clarify... FIC Tim/Julie... And I'm pretty sure I'm going to think TK is very lovely to look at!

Oh yes! YOU WILL! GET READY BECAUSE IT IS THE MOST AMAZING TELEVISION SHOW IN THE HISTORY OF TELEVISION EVER I SAID EVER.

And I'm not even *a little bit* exaggerating, I tell you that.

probably something to do with the fact that High School Football American Style would probably not work down here...

This is the thing I have been stressing to people for four years, since the show started. It is *not* about football. It is about LIFE, and if you have LIFE in Australia (hee...as I get the feeling you do), trust me, it will translate.

And I'm pretty sure I'm going to think TK is very lovely to look at^_^ I will just smile and wait, and see what you have to say in a month's time. (TK is quite pretty, have you seen a picture of him? It's just that the rest ( ... )

Aw, old school fandom!

› least favorite character
~Ummm...Eve. Did not like her, did not like whatever role she was supposed to be filling.

› character I wanna marry
~None!

› favorite pairing

› unpopular opinion
~I don't love Fred.
