DPP: Show Yourself!!

[winegums]

Welcome to this week's DPP, everyone!

I'm going to kick this off with something we haven't had at all this year (WAY too long if you ask me), i.e.

THE FRIENDING MEME!!!!!!!!
I've noticed some new faces among the comments in the last few months, so whether you're new to the comm or a returning friendly, consider this the Shipper Nation Roll Call aka

Comments

Any questions?

[winegums]

ask away.

When did you start watching BSG? "Water" the first time it aired
Why do you ship K/L? Chemistry + badassitude makes me a happy shipper
Do you ship anyone else in the show? Adama/Roslin in a "well, obviously that's happening" kind of way.
How did you find this comm? beyond_insane

Favorite character(s): Kara, Lee

Favourite scene: Lee comes back from the dead, in the mini
Favourite eyefrak: See above ;)

Favourite Kara!Hair: The "current" part of UB
Favourite pilotfic: Stupid Thing Last Night
When it comes to pilots fandom, are you more into (reading or writing) fic, meta, or just plain squee? Or do you prefer other fanworks for them (fanmixes, graphics etc): I'm a fic and meta girl, love the words.

Other fandoms: Avengers

[winegums]

Amen to all your favourite pilotstuff. (Stupid Thing Last Night is an unholy mixture of genius+hotness, praise be to it) And Kara had fantastic hair in UB, both current and flasbacks. Short hair looks so good on her.

I love that you worked mock trial. I studied law, but having to argue stuff in front of people gives me the heebie-jeebies, which is why I have mad respect for anyone who can do it well.

Favourite Lee!Hair: I know I'm in the minority, but I like the longer politician hair

Not really a minority. I really like that hair for that stage in his "journey" so to speak.

[winegums]

lol I kind of like Lee's long hair, even that borderline beachy-waves situation he had going on in Daybreak couldn't put me off completely (except for that terrible wig or weave or whatever was on his head in the battle scenes - he looks better with it loose than all gelled into place, if it's long). And I think the Starpony aka Kara's Season 2 default hair gets a lot of love from all of us :)

Fountain pens are the absolute best, writing-wise. It's a pain in the ass to refill them, but no other writing instrument can make handwriting look so gorgeous (I've never tried quills so can't say what they'll do)

[anamarya]

I speak Russian and lived in Russia! I'm sort of a writer in real life, too! I write with fountain pens!

This is so cool - on both counts. I like fountain pens. I tend to make a mess I I try to use one but that's another story. And Russia - I should just stop being lazy (or resentful for historical reasons) and go visit that country.

[anamarya]

WAW - apparently it's that time again.... BTW, thanks bb for this. These threads are always like a very welcomed slap to reality for me (and I guess I'm not the only one).

When I saw the post a couple of things crossed my mind. Some (not all) of them were like: how the frak did I manged to answer all of this last time and why did the answers keep changing on a daily basis. and then there was the part about the guilt of not really being active these last couple of months. And the fact that I should probably do a post on my LJ about what went on and all of that RL crap. But enough about my rambling self...

Name/Callsign: Ana-Maria
Age/Location (if you want): 33, Bucuresti (even if Eastern Europe is usually enough)
When did you start watching BSG? aaaaa... 2,3 (?) years ago? about the time that they announced Caprica. Don't ask cause the story about me and starting BSG is known to provoke headaches.
Why do you ship K/L? Do we actually have to answer this? Because they are THEM????
Do you ship anyone else in the show? ship, like ship

[anamarya]

Other fandoms: depends on the level of involvment... there are a couple that I was (still am) sort of involved in but I usually tend just to watch a show and when it's over, it's over. Which makes this one so special. almost 3 years after I watched it I still think about it.
Favourite book: There is one book (series of books) in Romanian. Long story... but it involves spies, paranormal and alien activities, a lot of romance and other stuff.
Favourite movie: Depends of when you ask. These days I'm sort of obsessed (like some of you) with Avengers.
Favourite tv show (currently airing): White Collar, Rookie Blue, ....
Favourite tv show(completed): today.... Star Trek: Enterprise - I just finished watching it a couple of days ago. All in all.... probably JAG or the original L&O. Hard to choose.

What do you post on your journal? Lately, nothing at all. What I would like to post is a totally different story.
Are you open to adding new friends to your FList or are you just super private and prefer to keep things locked down until you

[winegums]

lol your favourite and least favourite characters, it looks like the rewatch is really getting to us :)

And you like the QoD scene at Joe's? That's a first, that scene is such a fountain of neverending angst (though I suppose that is the appeal). And it does feed shippers just enough hope for pilots because it makes it pretty clear they still love each other despite what they've decided.

PS: I don't have a drivers' licence either. Nice to know I'm not alone in that!

[anamarya]

Actually it's not the scene itself. I don't like the scene (or at least what it represents). But I do like the eyefraking and the strange hope behind it - even if I know that it's in vain. Call me crazy.

and YEAH, the rewatch is getting to us. *sigh* and OMGs UB is like - next week or something???? we'll need lots and lots of beers and tissues.

When it comes to pilots fandom, are you more into (reading or writing) fic, meta, or

[anamarya]

Favourite book: Pride & Prejudice
Favourite movie: Lawrence of Arabia

OMGS, I should really re-read/re-watch these. I loved them the first time around and for the life of me I don't know why I didn't go back.

[rachelindeed]

Thanks for sharing the love! They are old favorites of mine <3

Hope you are well, dear! Always lovely to see you around :)

[anamarya]

Always lovely to see you around :)

Back at you *hugs*

and congrats. I was reluctant earlier to say it because I wasn't sure that you said what you said and my people are a little superstitious of going all happy and you know before it's appropriate.
I wish you all the best in the world! I have a feeling that you are going to be a great mom!
