YULETIDE FIRST DRAFT DONE AND DONE. Off to the beta's tonight! *cheers for self* I popped that thing out in practically one sitting!

So, in celebration, a meme.

Which TV shows did you start watching in 2011?

Oh, me. In no particular order:

Happy Endings, Game of Thrones, The Hour, Once Upon a Time, The Borgias, Shameless, Parks and Rec, The Good Wife, Black Books, Modern Family, Ringer, The Walking Dead and Pan Am. I think. I may have forgotten a few, but that's what's on my list.

Which TV shows did you let go of in 2011?

Both Ringer and Once Upon a Time. Couldn't handle it. Might try Ringer again at some point because I really do love Smidge's face that much. I also only watched about three episodes of The Walking Dead. The pilot was pretty flawless, but I'm just not sure I care enough about the characters to keep going with it.

Which TV shows did you mean to get into but didn't in 2011? Why?

Breaking Bad and Justified. IT WILL HAPPEN SOON.

Which TV shows do you intend on checking out in 2012?

See the above. Plus things like Rome and Deadwood and such. I have a loooong list on my computer at home. It's long. Really long.

Which TV show impressed you least in 2011?

Uh...Once Upon a Time. I WANTED SO BADLY TO LIKE YOU.

Which TV show do you think you might let go of in 2012 unless things significantly improve?

Downton Abbey. There's a reason my tag for it on tumblr is "downton abbey you are on notice." Also maybe Misfits? I haven't watched this series yet, but I'm nervous. What's with the whole cast leaving? See also: Being Human. I looooooove those ladies, but I'm nervous about where the show will go. Though I have faith that it can still be awesome.

Which TV show impressed you the most in 2011? Why?

Parks and Rec for sustaining such flawlessness. Also Friday Night Lights, which I finally got around to finishing. It really is the show of my heart. If I had to pick just one show to have in my life, it would be a toss-up between that and BtVS.

OH! And The Hour! I kept thinking it was going to do something to make me furious, and it really didn't! Good for you, show!

Which TV shows do you think you'll never let go of no matter how crappy they get? Why?

I don't know that I can say that there's any. I think there are shows like Parks and Rec that even if they get worse won't ever reach the point where they drive me away because I don't think the showrunners will ever let quality drop that far. I have faith in that show. But as we saw a couple of years ago with my Epic Breakup with Supernatural, there's nothing I won't toss aside if it pisses me off enough. So.

And now if I can add a category:

Shows I watched and loved that aren't mentioned on this list because I started them in another year

The X-Files, The Vampire Diaries, Doctor Who, Community, Skins, Being Human, and Leverage. Hopefully that's everything!

Current Mood: listless

Just thought you'd want to know.

But now I am too emotionally exhausted to wade through my flist (why does this always seem such a daunting task? I don't know, but it does), so y'all will have to wait for replies from me. Sorry.

But I was on tumblr last night and somebody kept posting Fringe graphics, and I was like, "I want to watch that show, just for Lincoln Lee and his face." And I don't really have any desire to watch that show, but OMG LINCOLN LEE AND HIS FACE.

Which reminds me of how I am always thinking, "Merlin really sucks and I've tried to watch it like six times and can't get into it which is probably a pretty good sign that I won't ever get into it, but OMG GWEN AND HER FACE."

And then I think, "Gossip Girl stopped being guilty fun a long time ago and started sucking and I gave it up for a reason, but OMG BLAIR WALDORF AND HER FACE."

And I don't know if I'll ever get around to watching Gen 2 of Skins, but then I see a Cook gif, and I'm like, "OMG JAMES COOK AND HIS FACE."

And I actively hate Glee , but sometimes I feel a sudden attack of "OMG SANTANA LOPEZ AND HER FACE!"

And I have Officially Given Up on Once Upon a Time, but last night I was all, "OMG PRINCE CHARMING DUDE AND HIS FACE!"

[no offense to anyone who loves these shows. they just don't work for me, generally speaking.]

So I guess what I'm asking is, am I the only one who does this? Who has a bizarre amount of affection for characters on shows I don't even watch? To the point where I actively sit around wishing that the characters were on better shows so that I could watch the show and then fangirl that character for real? Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this.

Speaking of excellent faces, I think I'm going to watch Party Down soon. CALL ME, ADAM SCOTT!

HAVE AN ICON OF COLETTE'S FACE! I still have no idea of whether Pan Am is actually canceled, but anyone who would take that face off of television is a criminal.

And then hit me with this meme, okay?

RELATE ME! When you think of me, what is the first thing that pops into your mind related to me in the following 10 catergories:

Current Mood: grumpy

Tags:

First, you tell me:

1.) Which fictional character I remind you of.
2.) What fictional character you ship me with.

Then,

Name 2 fandoms you know I like. I'll tell you (one character from each fandom):
a) Two characters who would be attracted to one another
b) Two characters who would be great friends
c) Two characters who would dislike each other

CROSSOVERS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST.

Also, does anybody know how many fandoms we're allowed to sign up to write for Yuletide this year? I know it was limited last year.

So today I was doing some employment verifications, and someone’s job title was: SHIPPER. And I thought, that should be MY job title. I would be the best at it! They could pay me! This should happen!

But since it won't, have some shippy quotes, okay?

(1) Think of up to 2025 ships you support.
(2) List them using descriptions of the characters involved rather than their names.
(3) Have your f-list guess as many of the ships as they can.

1. Haiku seems fitting:
Led Zeppelin versus ABBA,
Unnatural love.
2. Call them Mr. and Mrs. Dillon, TX
3. This romance is mostly written in the margins of borrowed books
4. STUPID BEE!!!!!!!111!!
5. Waffles are totally better than soup, okay?
6. The waiting is the hardest part. Because the waiting lasts a really, really long time, especially with all the deaths. But it’s totally worth it.
7. He’s pretty much obsessed with her hair, and who can blame him?
8. Princesses don’t marry kitchen boys, or so they tell me
9. I’m pretty sure most of their conversations involve at least one mention of baked goods
10. Having teddy bears pantomime their story was a really good call—they’re that adorable
11. She wants her bear won through some sort of demonstration of ring-tossing ability
12. The ultimate amnesia!fic. True love can’t be erased. This should make me want to hurl; instead, I ship.
13. Hell in high heels; the devil himself
14. Not even the rain has such small hands
15. There were tears on their wedding night, and my bet is that they were his
16. She’s a warped, repressed power-mad bitch, but he’d kill a dragon for and then drink her bathwater
17. They were better than good
18. Lesson learned: paying attention to your prospective-love’s social justice causes will pay off eventually, even if you think they’re silly and it takes seven years
19. They’re not magnets, but the same rule applies, no matter what he says
20. There’s blood on both of their hands; hers mostly comes from cleaning up after him, at least at the beginning
21. Their romance is WAY better than her parents’ probably because theirs has a sense of humor and is quotable enough to enter pop culture
22. His type is lanky brunettes with wicked jaws; good thing she fits the description
23. She smells like Paris and he lets her fly
24. Caterpillars and ducks
25. She definitely didn’t like him the first time she met him, but she couldn’t put a finger on why. My guess is that it was the mustache and that things got better once he got rid of it.

( answers once they're guessed behind the cut )

so there's been a meme going around on tumblr where someone gives you four actors and you create a movie for them to star in. i made some graphics! and i thought y'all might like to see them! i made movie posters!

( they're behind the cut )

if some of you want to throw some actors at me, i might be inspired to make some more! (but if i get a whole bunch, i probably won't do all of them--this is a saturday afternoon project.)

also: lexi, if you see this before i email you, I AM BETAING FOR YOU AS WE SPEAK. sorry it took me so long! hopefully i can get it back to you soon!

I feel that the correct reaction to Bridesmaids is not to weep your eyes out for half of the movie. But then, I've rarely had correct reactions to anything.

Anyway!

I think it's inevitable that as we read each other's journals we create mental pictures of each other. Post this on your own journal to find out who your friends see when they read about your life.

Two Rules:
1) The person must be in the movies or on TV (but doesn't have to be an actor/actress). The person can be specific to a role or character or just the person.
2) Post a picture.

Half of you already know what I look like, but this is fun anyways! Pictures! Go!

Comment with any ship (romantic or platonic or maybe even non-existent!) from a fandom that you know I have some knowledge about, and I will rant about aforementioned ship. This may be incoherent gushing or exclamations of disgust, depending on your ship of choice.

Caveat: If you say Buffy/Spike, I'm probably just going to link you to my manifesto.

Name a fandom, and I will tell you a) my three favorite romantic relationships, b) my three favorite non-romantic relationships, and c) one character combination (either shippy or non-shippy) I wish got more attention in canon.

Okay.

If I were a television character, what would my story be? Would I be the hero? The sidekick? The love interest? (Ha!) The comic relief? The deadpan snarker? Would my story be a redemption tale, a fall from grace, a bildungsroman? What would my genre be? Comedy? Drama? Sci-fi? What would the title be? Who would star and guest-star? What would be the most important tropes to keep popping up?
