The amount of time I spend on the computer at work is dramatically increasing....

Firstly: Has anyone heard much about the new TV show called The Fringe? I just heard about it here, and it sounds pretty awesome. A sci-fi TV show, created by JJ Abrams, with Joshua Jackson in it? I'm in. WTF, I watch TV again now! I'm excited for this, Dollhouse, the return of The Office, and would like to catch up on Grey's and Battlestar Galactica (I think I now only have about 3 episodes left).


Speaking of TV....Last night I watched through episode 8 of the new season of Code Geass. Generally speaking, I like the first season a lot more, and find this one much less interesting so far. But I still love the gorgeous character designs enough to keep watching. I'd like to see how much rewatch value the first season has, because I loved it at the time.


Lastly, another meme! But this one is participatory!

Pick a fandom, and I'll tell you which character(s) I would
1. bake cupcakes for:
2. trust with the keys to my car (if I had a car):
3. put thumbtacks on their chair:
4. have a crush on:
5. pack up and leave if they moved next door:
6. vote for President:
7. pick as my partner in a buddy movie:
8. pair up:
9. vote off the island and into the volcano:
10. wheedle into fixing my MP3 player:


My favorite TV shows, anime shows, manga series, and video games can be found in my profile; books and stuff are on Facebook (or well-known?!). Someone ask me about Final Fantasy VII! DO IT.

Buffyverse! (You KNEW I would say that.) You can decide if you want to do just Angel or just Buffy or a combination.

OMG BUFFYVERSE YES! So...you already know what my answer is to most of these questions, right?

1. bake cupcakes for: WESLEY WYNDAM-PRYCE. If anyone needs cupcakes, it's him. Well, him or Buffy. Or Angel. WTF ANGST. Wesley gets them!
2. trust with the keys to my car (if I had a car): NOT BUFFY, lol. It seems like Angel drives a lot, as well as Spike and Giles. Out of the three, I guess I'd give them to Giles.
3. put thumbtacks on their chair: The Mayor (although I loved watching him)
4. have a crush on: WESLEY WYNDAM-PRYCE
5. pack up and leave if they moved next door: Glory, The Mayor
6. vote for President: WESLEY WYNDAM-PRYCE. Or maybe Buffy.
7. pick as my partner in a buddy movie: Buffy or Faith
8. pair up: Buffy and Angel, Wesley and Fred, Xander and Spike
9. vote off the island and into the volcano: Cordelia
10. wheedle into fixing my MP3 player: Willow or Fred

Hah hah, Xander and Spike never really occured to me, but I love it!! There would be so much Hate!sex!
ext_6446: (Buffy: Bitch please)

OMF, there were a couple of moments in season 7 were it was like, DUDE. I don't remember who said it, but at some point, I think toward the end, someone asked, "Are there any of you who HAVEN'T had sex with each other?" and Xander and Spike just stop what they're doing and give each other this heinoius look. SO AMAZING.

AND SPIKE LIVED IN THE BASEMENT WITH XANDER. THINGS COULD HAVE HAPPENED!

I'll bite. Final Fantasy VII :)

BWAHAHAHA, my first fandom!


1. bake cupcakes for: Cloud. What a messed up kid.
2. trust with the keys to my car (if I had a car): Cid!
3. put thumbtacks on their chair: President Shinra. Rufus is hot, so...no.
4. have a crush on: VINCENT VALENTINE, holy shit.
5. pack up and leave if they moved next door: Reno. He'd be drunk all the time, and that's annoying.
6. vote for President: Barret, because it would be SO LOL. In seriousness, I'd vote for Reeve. He'd get that shit in order.
7. pick as my partner in a buddy movie: Everyone is so fucked up in FF7....I guess I'd pick Tifa. She's probably the least socially awkward, and can also kick some ass.
8. pair up: TIFA/CLOUD FOREVER!! Also, Cid/Shera, Vincent/Aeris, Tseng/Elena, Reno/Rude
9. vote off the island and into the volcano: Dare I say it....AERIS?! She's so stupid, seriously! I still don't understand the attraction to her. Yeah, she wears pink and sells flowers and is all magical and saves the world, but she STUPIDLY withheld information for no reason, and often idiotically went off by herself when there was no reason to. Tifa is so much cooler.
10. wheedle into fixing my MP3 player: Professor Hojo? Bwahahaha! I love Hojo. I should really go back and reread some FF7 fanfiction. It's the only fandom for which I have ever read fanfiction!

*cough*

OKAY, MAYBE I READ SOME HARRY POTTER FANFICTION A COUPLE TIMES.

Own it!

Did you ever check out the one on my rec list? Because I really liked that one.
ext_6446: (Reading)

Re: Own it!

[identity profile] mystickeeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-08 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably not! I'll try to remember to check that out when I get my computer back (I'll do a lot of things online at work, but reading fanfiction is not one of them, :D).

[identity profile] messener.livejournal.com 2008-08-08 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I agree; Aeris is dumb. Lol. And I had (somehow) totally forgotten about Professor Hojo. He was awesome.

OMF, have you ever read fanfiction?

One of my favorite online artists used to have a long-ish one called the Poetry in Blood that took (mostly) place in the Nibelheim Mansion....Professor Hojo, Vincent Valentine, Cloud, Zack, AND DELICIOUS ANGST. :D

[identity profile] messener.livejournal.com 2008-08-08 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
No, not really. I've never been good at finding good fanfic. I read one once that I really enjoyed, but I can't remember what it was about at all... Something about a woman that wasn't part of the FF7 storyline, that the writer introduced into it... Hmm, now I'm curious as to what that was, lol.

Found it!!! (http://community.livejournal.com/meetmeinmidgar/) I can't remember the last time I looked at it, or even what it's about, so it looks like a few chapters have been added.

Jeez, it's been a while since I've seen this show! I need to rewatch it.

1. bake cupcakes for: Kaylee? She would be so happy! Or maybe River, because she would be so confused.
2. trust with the keys to my car (if I had a car): Wash!
3. put thumbtacks on their chair: Again, I can't remember any of the bad guys. Maybe Jayne, beceause it would be funny.
4. have a crush on: Okay, as much as I hate to say it, I might be attracted to Jayne. I would love Simon's intelligence and loyalty, but I would also love Mal's passion and anti-hero-ness.
5. pack up and leave if they moved next door: Jayne
6. vote for President: Simon!
7. pick as my partner in a buddy movie: River for the lulz?! Probably Zoe.
8. pair up: Kaylee/Inara, Mal/Zoe
9. vote off the island and into the volcano: I can't remember any of the villains from this show, :[
10. wheedle into fixing my MP3 player: Kaylee

[identity profile] sasha-feather.livejournal.com 2008-08-08 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I have very similar feelings about Jayne. And I would re-watch Firefly at any time!

Oh, you've gotta do Utena. So many characters to choose from!
ext_6446: (Drag yourself up off the floor and fight)

[identity profile] mystickeeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-08 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG UTENA, EXCELLENT CHOICE!

1. bake cupcakes for: Anthy, even though she'd freak out and not eat them.
2. trust with the keys to my car (if I had a car): LOL, Akio, he certainly drives a lot! But there would probably be attempted rape involved, so maybe Miki instead.
3. put thumbtacks on their chair: Saionji, I hate that guy!
4. have a crush on: I'd totaly have girl-crushes on Utena and Juri. I don't think I would be attracted to any of the men in this show.
5. pack up and leave if they moved next door: Akio, Nanami, Saionji, Souji Mikage, Shiori....there were a lot of mean people in Utena!
6. vote for President: UTENA
7. pick as my partner in a buddy movie: Utena. We would get shit done.
8. pair up: Utena/Dios, Juri/Anthy (OMF, they could heal each other's broken souls!)
9. vote off the island and into the volcano: AKIO, THAT FUCKER
10. wheedle into fixing my MP3 player: Are any of these characters adept with technology? I guess I'd put my money on Miki, but that might be because I associate his blue hair with Ami Mizuno, lol.

[identity profile] nylorac15.livejournal.com 2008-08-08 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
2. Since when do you not have a car? Or is that just how the question was phrased?
4. AMEN.
9. DITTO
10. Also, hilariously enough, Ami and Miki have the same voice actress (Aya Hisakawa). She's one of my favorites, she's done so many badass characters: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=503
