because this is what i do at work when i'm bored

[lirazel]

So lj’s been a little slow lately, and I haven’t been helping. But I just haven’t had much to say! Really! However, I feel a little guilty because for some reason I’ve got it into my head that part of my job in life is to ~entertain~ y’all. So let’s do one of those random poll things again, okay?


[Poll #1768335]

[eta] Also, my prayers and thoughts with everyone who might be affected by the violence in London. *hugs*

I can't answer the menfolk question because it stresses me out to choose! Because my loyalty is usually with Mr. The Bloody - but currently I'm loving Rory more than any other male character in all of creation... and Weasley is our king and needs all the love and puppies. I CANNOT CHOOSE DON'T MAKE ME.

Also there should really be multiple ticky boxes for the pie question. There are not enough ways to choose pie.

Am now just a little bit in love with you for including Patty Griffin in your list of lyrics masters.

Hard poll is HAAAAAARD. Making me choose between favorites! And gorgeous hair! (No lie, I finally decided I should probably get into this Harry Potter thing SOLELY BASED ON THE GORGEOUSNESS THAT IS EMMA WATSON.)

Also, Spike will always be favorite boy, but I've kind of decided I want Ben Wyatt to be a real person so I can marry him.

Some of these were haaard! Biggest influence on childhood? Best kiss? Pie?

And I didn't know Sherman Alexie wrote poetry. I thought he was a novelist/short story writer.

Also, I have yet to see Miranda, but I already know she's my favorite, and I have yet to see season 2 of TWW, but I already know I want Ainsley Hayes running for president. With Sam as her First Man.

Oooh I was so tempted to pick the Buffy/Spike kiss (though the one in "Intervention" is my favourite), but LESLIE/BEN. CURRENT OWNER OF MY HEART SPACE. It was also extremely difficult to choose between Parks and Rec and Game of Thrones, because FAVOURITES OF ALL THE FAVOURITES, but I think I'm antsy for season 2 of GoT just a wee bit more than season 4 of Parks. My answer will probably change tomorrow.

ANASTASIA!

Whatever man, cake rules.

i am saddened by the lack of e.e. cummings in this poll. saddened i tell you. But I did just re-check the question and it did say favourite of your favourites so. Go Dorothy Park and your witty self!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I know! That's why I don't vote--I just make the polls! :D

You are so right about the pie question; I dropped the ball on that one.

I love her soooo! And I was thinking about "Florida" and "time wants to kiss you deep, be on his way" and how can you NOT love her lyrics?

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I KNOW RIGHT?

Emma is the most delightful person alive. Except for all the other people in the HP movies, who are also the most delightful people alive. I do not understand how so many delightful people are involved in one project!

I would marry Ben Wyatt, too. No questions. Ideal man. Have an icon.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I DESIGN THEM THAT WAY! :D

Mr. Alexie writes everything. Novels, short stories, poetry, screenplays. He won a slam poetry contest so many times in a row THAT THEY STOPPED HAVING IT. That's how awesome he is. One of my favorite people.

MIRANDA MIRANDA MIRANDA. YOU WILL LOVE HER. AND AINSLEY. AND SAM AS FIRST MAN YES YES YES!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

INTERVENTION KISS IS PERFECT. I could only let myself pick one for them, which was hard. They have excellent kisses.

I cannot blame you for your Ben/Leslie love. I do not understand how a pairing can be so delightful. DELIGHTFUL.

GRANDMA. IT'S ME. ANASTASIA. Favorite part!

Whatever, cake sucks. SUCKS!

I do like cummings! Quite a bit! Just not enough to be my favorites ever poll. Ms. Parker is an excellent choice, though. :D

[angearia.livejournal.com]

Hey! Can you read this at work? Because it's excellent meta about Buffy's "I love you" in Chosen!

FAVORITE KISS (actually)



FAVORITE BOY




which show that isn't on right now are you most excited about coming back?

WHY TORTURE ME WHYYYYY

I must've changed my answer a billion times between Borgias, GoT, and Parks & Rec. They all give me something different, yet still so utterly amazing and I REFUSE TO PLAY ~LAUREN'S CHOICE~ WITH YOU. NO.



(Except I've already ticked a box and I can't ~untick so my answer is Borgias because that's the show I most recently was craving due to tumblr's feeding my addiction.)

OH JEEZ all the rest of your questions are ridiculously hard, too. Favorite hair? They're all beautiful in different ways. I love how ridiculously perfect Nina's hair always looks, and how wild and goddess-like Alex's always looks. So I'm torn between those two.

AINSLEY HAYES FOR PRESIDENT YES YES YES

As for favorite poets, I chose rainer marie rilke because she ~speaks~ to me, it literally feels like she's speaking to me. I just ~get~ it.

[eta] game of thrones! you either win or you're a stark!

*SPORFLE*

i'm so stealing this as a new tag lolololololol :D

[angearia.livejournal.com]

Spike will always be favorite boy, but I've kind of decided I want Ben Wyatt to be a real person so I can marry him

perfect

[mollivanders.livejournal.com]

YOU MADE ME CHOOSE BETWEEN RON AND HAN D:

In other news, THAT would be an awesome duo. I also realized the other day that Han Solo and Kara Thrace should absolutely have hooked up. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away? Are you kidding me? It's canon.

I didn't know any of the personifications of death :/

'Favourite Random British Funny Person' had to be Dylan Moran. Not just because Black Books is one of the most perfect sitcoms ever, or because I've actually seen him live (\o/), but because I can still remember the very, very first time I saw him on TV, years ago. He was doing standup, and was talking about how women 'always go to the toilet in groups' and then asked the audience if they wanted to know why... His answer? 'They drink each other's urine'. It was so completely out of the left field that I've never forgotten it.

OH THAT META. OH MY HEART.

The "Intervention" kiss is perfect beyond perfect. Basically all their kisses are in different ways, and I'm most in love with whichever one I'm watching at the moment. I was feeling the FOREHEAD TOUCHING today because: so beautiful.

I LIKE TO TORTURE YOU. IT'S FUN.

I thought you might pick Borgias! HOW PERFECT IS IT?

I cannot claim credit for your new Stark tag. I stole it from someone's tag on tumblr, obvs. But isn't it great?

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I AM AN EVIL EVIL WOMAN.

HAHAHA YOU'RE FUNNY!

You should definitely, definitely, definitely read The Book Thief. It is perfect. Perfect. READ IT THIS SECOND! :D

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I LOVE YOU!

[pocochina.livejournal.com]

~HAHAHAHA, the fanged four take Europe. There is no way that would not be awesome.

~My favorite British funny person will always be Eddie Izzard.

~I was so attached to a lot of your childhood movies as books. I felt disloyal not picking Anne or Little Women. But I don't actually remember the movies all that well. And I still have not watched Star Wars, my Geek Cred is gone!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

He's so fantastic. I'm currently working my way through Black Books, and I am so delighted. He's the physical incarnation of alcoholism and it shouldn't be so funny but it IS. It think my favorite moment so far (besides him being unreasonably annoyed with all of the people who keep coming into his SHOP wanting to BUY things and why can't they go away?) is when it was super hot and he froze the bottle of wine in the freezer and was licking it like a popsicle. SO FUNNY.

HAHAHA. That's so random, I totally understand why it stuck with you!

[evewithanapple.livejournal.com]

Lauren, are you honestly asking me to pick between Roan Inish, Robin Hood, and Anastasia? Why are you so MEAN?

(also, RH is apparently going back in the Disney vault. I just grabbed a copy off Amazon before they all vanish. D:)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Oh, I do love me some Eddie Izzard! I can't believe I forgot him! *sigh*

Oh, I looooove those books, too. But the movies were huge for me as well.

I won't tell you to watch Star Wars, because I am certain that multiple people in your life have already told you to and I don't want to be annoying. But you should watch it.

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

The second question is the hardest question! The Sound of Music! Little Women! A Little Princess! But of course my allegiance must always be with m'Anne-girl. ♥

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Because I am EVIL! Clearly! :D

I just love that you've actually seen Roan Inish. Nobody has, and it's perfect.

(Man...I should probably buy that, even if I resent the way Disney manipulates people with that vault thing. *sigh*)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

There really are some truly fantastic movies-from-our-childhood, aren't there? But Anne is always a good choice!

THAT ICON! ♥
