lirazel | i'm booooooooooooored. have a poll!

Hehe, I cannot answer most of these questions, but I find your polls delightful :).

Aw! I find you delightful! And also Felicia Day's face!

You fail to offer the "I haven't watched/listened to it and, therefore, don't have an opinion and/or don't plan to."

That's what the "I haven't watched/listened yet and my life is sad because of it" option is for. It's my way of saying YOU SHOULD WATCH/LISTEN TO THIS BECAUSE IT IS THE BEST.

Weeeeeeell, yeah, but I'm going to the opera this weekend. I think that's the best. But I will give a listen to one or two on Youtube and watch one episode. Worth a try, but it's every red owl to its own pear tree.

The frequent colds that come with the changing weather are worse than the allergies for me. :/

I miss Miranda!

2 people on my flist who have seen Once Upon A Time? Yay! I have been meaning to do a "this show is great and has the potential to be even better and you should all watch it" post.

Totally didn't know those lyrics were from Arthur, so I picked The Magic School Bus...but really, my answer is Arthur!

I only get about one real cold a year, so the allergies, which last from March through November for me, are the worst. But it all sucks, doesn't it?

MIRANDA! I KNEW I forgot something!

Totally didn't know those lyrics were from Arthur, so I picked The Magic School Bus...but really, my answer is Arthur!

The musical episode! "Jekyll Jekyll Hyde Jekyll Hyde Hyde Jekyll! Jekyll Jekyll Hyde Jekyll Hyde!!!!!!!!" Best episode of that show. I love it so much!

It doesn't have a ticky, but my fav song is Bedroom Hymns!

MAGIC SCHOOL BUS.

I missed one? *headdesk* I knew that would happen!

CLASSIC.

SUCH BIG IMAGINATION FOR SICH A LITTLE PUP

(No tickbox for "the adoption storyline makes me feel ooky but I'm hanging in for THE LADIES?")

SHAKE A LEG NOW, WISHBONE, LET'S WAG ANOTHER TAAAAAIL!

(Ugh. I try to ignore that storyline as much as possible. I totally understand about the ookiness. Gross.)

Though for the favorite vampire question.. you missed Mikael, who right now has the possibility of being my favorite cause that scene last week with Damon and Stefan, he was pretty badass. Also, the angst of having created the originals! The traitor that he thought was his son but killed his wife! I love Sebastian Roche. He's just gorgeous and a great actor :)

There were a limited number of spots available--unfortunately, it will only give you a certain amount--so not everybody could be included, and I left him off since he's so new that we don't know a bunch about him yet. But I am anxious to see what the show does with him. Could be very interesting.

Yes, I am quite intrigued with the possibilities.. the original vampire that is a vampire hunter with the tragic backstory... In the meantime, I have chosen Damon. Maybe I should've chosen Caroline... eh well.

Also, ONCE UPON A TIME IS AWESOME. I love Snow White right now. I don't find it horribly cheesy, just fun stuff (but then I am in the Tin Man fandom. CHEESE PLEASE...)

Also Ringer - yes, it's so cheesy it's almost embarassing, but it does keep getting better. I love all the soapy twists of it.

In my book Sam/Ainsley is totally, completely, utterly an end-game ship. I mean the PTB brought both of them back for the final episode, and the story was: both of them will be working (together) in the new White House. And we never even met Sam's fiancée. And Sam has a history of abandoning fiancées when true love beckons. And Ainsley is a republican who didn't have very much fun working for the republicans. And ALL THE CHEMISTRY. I mean, really, they can't work together and not find out that they are true loves forever, right?

THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. Like, they have to end up together. They have to. I do not accept another scenario.

1) SHAKE A LEG NOW, WISHBONE, LET'S WAG ANOTHER TAAAAAAAALE!

2) I aaaaalmost voted for Jess/Rory, but then I realized that I genuinely, legit believe that Jess/Rory was endgame (just! In a sneaky way! There's no way they're not together now, okay!), whereas Jackie/Hyde got so horribly & inexplicably thwarted that it just plain needed my support. WHY, SHOW.

1) SNIFFING OUT ADVENTURE WITH WISHBONE ON THE TRAIL! I love that I have genuinely answered questions in college lit courses based on my knowledge of that show. It never fails to make my laugh.

2) I approve of your way of thinking. Rory and Jess is the only thing that makes sense. I get SO ANGRY when I think of what the show did to Jackie and Hyde. SO ANGRY.

+I would like for Leslie Knope to be CoS for the Roslin Administration THEN EVERYONE WINS BUT MOSTLY ME.

+Damon is the best one! NO SURPRISES THERE. ummmm, speaking of, I had a dream last night that Elijah was coming after me. IT WAS REALLY SCARY OKAY.

+ I LIKE YOUR PLAN.

+ No surprises indeed! But OMG that could be scary!

OMG! I HAD THE SAME DREAM ABOUT ELIJAH, EXCEPT ELIJAH WAS MY DOCTOR (my doctor actually looks a little like Elijah, hence my subconscious conflation of them). And it was totally scary. He was harassing my whole family, and he hid in my car, and then I think he started killing random strangers who happened to be in my path as a message to me.

All of your OTPs should have been endgame. ALL OF THEM. total agreement about S/B and L/V. And J/R and J/H are tied in my affections. But I've been rewatching episodes of Gilmore Girls recently so I voted for Jess/Rory.

So difficult to choose, isn't it? That's why I let y'all choose for me!

I'm also lagging behind a bit and i feel the same way about my original stories. they usually have some part or another I'm really in love with but the rest usually feels like Frankenstein's monster.

Yup, that about sums up the feeling. Ugh.

The pbs lyrics question makes no sense whatsoever to me. You Americans and your weird children's shows.

I've been selectively watching the Snow White/Prince Charming show and skipping everything else. I think I'mgiving up on it though, because I started watching Revenge and that's so much better and I watch too much tv.

LOVE YOUR POLLS

Our PBS kids shows were amazing. We didn't have cable so they were the only TV I watched growing up, and I credit a good portion of any awesomeness I may possess to them.

It's kind of painful to watch, isn't it? Especially the dialogue, which may actually be the worst dialogue I've ever heard. But I hear that Revenge is good in a first-season-of-Gossip-Girl guilty pleasure kind of way. No doubt I'll get into it eventually.

THANK YOU! I AM PLEASED!

I'm really enjoying Revenge so far - I've only seen the first two episodes but it's just so ~dramatic and hilarious. OTT voice-overs ftw!

You made me choose between Lambchop and Magic School Bus D: I owned Lambchop though, so.....

ALSO JESS/RORY <333 But I chose Jackie/Hyde because really, there was no reason ever not to.

My sister and I periodically for no reason burst out into the version of the Lamb Chop theme song they used to sell Lamb Chop underwear WHICH THEY HAD COMMERCIALS ABOUT. My sister had this underwear. I do not know why there was Lamb Chop underwear, much less WHY THERE WERE COMMERCIALS ABOUT IT, but there were!

But I chose Jackie/Hyde because really, there was no reason ever not to.

Seriously. SERIOUSLY.

I checked "hot chocolate weather" but I really was thinking "eggnog season." I do enjoy hot chocolate, though, and have special mugs and keep imported cocoa in the cabinet. (I don't use mixes much -- Why U add so much sugar, multinational mix maker?) I wonder if hot chocolate would be good with nutmeg and cloves in it.

I can't tell if you are younger or older than I am, but those are not the PBS shows I watched. 3-2-1 Contact for the win.

I am not really an eggnog person, but I know it's addictive for a lot of people.

I imagine I'm a bit younger than you, because I have heard about 3-2-1 Contact but have never seen it. Or at least don't remember seeing it.

I love Carmen San Diego as much as the next person. Really. I loved it. I also loved Square One with a burning passion. But everyone who didn't vote for Reading Rainbow is on crack. CRACK, I SAY.

Also, no Sesame Street? What, is it opposite day? Sesame Street of olde, I mean. Not this new fangled Sesame Street. Actually, maybe you grew up on the new fangled Sesame Street--you are a bit younger than me--if so, I am very sorry for your loss. And I will offer you this, the greatest song ever created for children's programming. Straight, simple, to the point, and rockin'.

Edited 2011-11-10 20:19 (UTC)

If I absolutely had to choose, I would be torntorntorn between Reading Rainbow and Wishbone, since they are my favorites ever and all about BOOKS.

I decided to leave off Sesame Street and Mister Rogers because I felt like those two were ubiquitous. EVERYONE watched them. But yes, I had old school SS--sometimes the songs will randomly burst into my head. And I still have the little segment they did on how orange crayons are made saved to my youtube favorites. BEST.

Once Upon a Time: I need an option for 'I'd like to continue watching, but don't think I can.'

Vampire Diaries: Elijah, baby, all the way.

Should you catch up on Ringer: no. but you should also do things that aren't good for you once in a while. :)

Yeah, that's an option I think I might need in the future.

I am SHOCKED that you picked Elijah. SHOCKED, I SAY.

but you should also do things that aren't good for you once in a while. :)

Ha! I like your way of thinking!

Apparently I am the Elijah person?

SOME PEOPLE STARTED SINGING IT, NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS AND THEY'LL CONTINUE SINGING IT FOREVER JUST BECAUSE THIS IS THE SONG THAT DOESN'T END

My mom says that used to be my favorite show when I was little!!

I was on the fence about a bunch of these questions! I actually really hate the winter, but you managed to pick the very few things I actually do like LOL. I picked holidays because the most important one, my birthday! is in the winter :) But I also love hot chocolate and coats and scarves!

I think the show I'm actually missing the most is Shameless. Maybe that's because it's so close to returning (or because it's so awesome!), but I'm also missing GoT. I'm liking both OUaT & Ringer, but I'm really not picky about my TV shows. I watch just about everything :)

The vampire question was SO NOT FAIR! I picked Damon, but it's such a close call between him, Caroline, and Katherine!!

THAT SONG!

I hate winter, too! I was trying to be optimistic, though.

OMG SHAMELESS! I knew I forgot something! I can't wait till those kids are back on my screen! Though I haven't missed Frank at all. I wish he would go away and never come back.

I love that family!! 1/8 will be here before you know it :o)

Yay, NaNo! I'm so glad you're making such great progress. Go, you! And remember, we don't even care if it's a mess. Nope. Words, baby.

*\o/* *\o/* *\o/*

Thank you! I'm quite pleased myself! And I keep trying to remind myself of that. *sigh*

I WILL WATCH PAN AM EVENTUALLY. I'm endlessly amused by you and Emmie's Tumblr bitching over some Ted guy.

AND IS A CLEAN FREAK

V. important detail, but I picked Kat.

OMG TED. I haven't flat-out hated a character like this in a long time. I almost enjoy hating him except that he is so awful that I can't even manage that. I am glad we entertain you, at least.

MOST IMPORTANT DETAIL. I would watch a show about Damon cleaning house and grousing about how everyone else is so messy and careless. But I definitely support your picking Katherine. Flawless. Flawless.

OMG!!! Did you see that Jennifer Lopez isdeveloping a movie version of Carmen San Diego (http://www.themarysue.com/jennifer-lopez-producing-carmen-sandiego/)?

I am so excited!!!

And, obviously, the first thing I thought when I got to the casting section of the article was, "I wonder who PennyLane would put ~~it in~~ in it?" :D

So the next time you get bored..

Edited 2011-11-11 04:27 (UTC)

HAHAHA! You're great! I don't know who I would cast! I will have to think about it!

Alright, so I'm reasoning that Jackie and Hyde should be endgame BECAUSE personal canon dictates that Rory dumped Logan's ass and went on a campaign trail that would eventually lead her to Philly (IT USED TO BE THE COUNTRY'S CAPITAL! HISTORY MONTAGE!) and of course she and Jess are kismet and he'd be waiting outside her press conference with a stack of Hemingway instead of stupid flowers or chocolates or whatever. And then they'd bicker and be insecure for a while until she realized his "I KNOW YOU BETTER THAN ANYONE" speech was the truth and he realized that sometimes it is okay to open yourself up to hurt and they'd never be easy but they wanted to make it work because he was her Howard Roark/Artful Dodger/Mr. Darcy (I don't know okay? Let's just go with it).

And likewise, I believe Ainsley and Sam have that similar sort of magnetism, but I also believe Sam loves and respects her too much to not immediately find a way to hire her indirectly so she doesn't know it was him, but in a way that he still finds a way to be around her tons once he becomes the govenator. And then they have a glory filled good time spilling coffee ALL OVER their state buildings. And then they get married and argue over whether or not her choice to get pregnant makes the Equal Rights Ammendment useless or whether it should be passed.

So yes, they weren't Endgame, persay, but they were close enough with the wiggle room for me. And the whole Jackie and Fez thing was the WORST THING EVER and I still would like to live in a world where Season 8 Redo was canon.

Also how am I supposed to choose between cute scarves and yummy hot chocolate and the thrill of perfectly wrapping presents? AND ARTHUR AND THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS? GAH!

I LOVE YOUR BRAAAAAAAIN! ALL OF IT! EVERY WORD OF THIS! BUT ESPECIALLY:

And then they have a glory filled good time spilling coffee ALL OVER their state buildings. And then they get married and argue over whether or not her choice to get pregnant makes the Equal Rights Ammendment useless or whether it should be passed.

SPILLING COFFEE AND THE ERA!

*dies*

Okay, Season 8 Redo is actually the greatest thing in the world, and if she ever came back and finished it officially I would probably die of happiness, but even as it is, it is perfect. OMG THAT FIC. I remember initially not wanting to read it because it was script format, but she is so good that I don't even care that it's script format, it is perfect.

I am an evil, evil woman. When I can't decide between things, I like to make y'all do it instead!

i'm booooooooooooored. have a poll!
