*belts* because of you, i never stray too far from the siiiidewalk!

[evergleam]

1. sihaya09!! I got my Christmas present in the mail today! Yay Serenity!! Thanks, darlin. *smooches*

2. I sent out half of my Christmas cards yesterday. Hopefully the other half will go out tomorrow, if I finish them tonight. If not, well, everyone who'll be getting them late will just have to consider them Hannukah cards. ;)

3.
1. Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/etc. that you've had an obsessive fannish love of at some time in your life
2. Have your friends list guess your favorite character from each item.
3. Post in your own journal.

In some cases, I can't decide between two characters, so both answers will be right. :p

1. Veronica Mars - Logan (_jems_, cerulgalactus
2. Harry Potter (there are two!) - Harry (_jems_), Remus (madmoisellestar
3. The West Wing - Josh (_jems_, cerulgalactus, madmoisellestar)
4. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (there are two!) - Oz, Xander (sihaya09)
5. Angel: The Series - Angel (_jems_)
6. Arrested Development (there are two!) - Michael (_jems_)
7. Scrubs - Dr. Cox (_jems_)
8. The Wizard of Oz
9. Firefly - Mal (_jems_, madmoisellestar, sihaya09)
10. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Clementine (_jems_)
11. Farscape - Crichton (_jems_)
12. Dead Like Me - Rube (_jems_, madmoisellestar, sihaya09)
13. Rent - Mark (madmoisellestar)
14. Sports Night - Dan (_jems_, cerulgalactus)
15. Empire Records - Lucas (madmoisellestar, sihaya09)


4. I am thisclose to finishing my shopping and putting this stupid holiday behind me. 2006 cannot come fast enough. But, I have only one person left to buy for, and I already know what he's getting. And then all I have to do is wrap everything. :p But yay! No more stupid holiday shopping!

5. My sister is ashamed of me because I know the words to more than one Kelly Clarkson song. I say, SUCK IT TREBECK.

6. In four days, I get my first day off of work in three and a half weeks! Although, it's Christmas Eve, so I don't think it counts. But still! A whole day with no going anywhere and getting paid for it! Yay!


ETA: OMG MY ICONS MATCH!

ETA2: Something I've been thinking about recently: Why is it that all the cute boys are massive tools and all the nice boys are utterly, hopelessly, going-on-a-three-month-mission-trip-to-north-Africa religious? Can anyone explain this to me?

Guessing away.

1. Logan.
2. Harry.
3. Josh.
4. Buffy.
5. Angel.
6. Buster.
7. Dr. Cox.
8. Toto?
9. Simon.
10. Clementine.
11. John.
12. Mason.
14. Dan!

Wow, that was really hard because while I do know that you like certain characters, I never know which is your favorite. Of course, that's the case with almost everyone, because people rarely come out and say "this is my favorite character by far".

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

I was having a hard time guessing on other people's too, for the same reason. I know who they like, but I don't know who they claim as absolute favorites. :p But you got HP, TWW, AtS, Scrubs, ESotSM, Farscape, and SN right, and at the end of last season you'd have had VM wrong, but Veronica is bugging me so much this season that Logan's edged her out. ;) Plus, Mason and Buster are only one tier down from being my favorite characters. So. Yeah. :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_jems_/]

I know what you mean about Veronica. At the start of last season she was defintely my favorite. By the end she and Logan were neck and neck, and this season Logan is my favorite by far. It's not that I hate her, but I think she's being an idiot right now, so it's annoying.

How about some I missed:

AD - GOB.
Firefly - Mal.
DLM - Peanut.

And yay, another one whose fave is Crichton! Everyone always adores Aeryn, but I just gotta love John. People think Angel is tortured? Logan? As if! I've never seen a bigger woobie than John Crichton.

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

You got Firefly. :) I gotta say, Captain Mal is quite possibly my favorite television character ever. This could be because I got my Serenity DVD today and am yet again awash in Fireflylove, but man what I wouldn't give to have seen his movie storyline stretched out over a one or two season-long arc. Stupid, stupid FOX.

People think Angel is tortured? Logan? As if! I've never seen a bigger woobie than John Crichton.

Hee. So true. Just thinking about the end of S3 makes me want to curl up into a ball and cry. Pooooor John. I really should scrap the rewatch idea and just break out the S2/S3 DVDs. I could watch Die Me, Dichotomy, Infinite Possibilities, The Choice, and Dog with Two Bones all in one sitting! It would be the best, most tortuous afternoon EVER!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_jems_/]

It's pretty sad that I've guessed two AD characters and you have two favorites and I still haven't gotten it. How about George-Michael? And for DLM, I can't even imagine anyone else but Rube. That is his name, right? It's been ages since I saw the show.

I could watch Die Me, Dichotomy, Infinite Possibilities, The Choice, and Dog with Two Bones all in one sitting! It would be the best, most tortuous afternoon EVER!
I wonder if that could possibly be the biggest sob fest of all time. Dear lord! Of course, I always get completely choked up by the intro of Bad Timing. "And finally, on Farscape..." *sniff*

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Totally Rube. I love everything about him. And hee. Still haven't gotten AD. Though, I think that one was probably not fair, since I pretty much love the entire Bluth clan equally. :p

And heh. I've had the FS theme song stuck in my head all morning, now, and that's totally not one of those ones you can sing to yourself without people looking at you like you belong in a loony bin. :p

[http://users.livejournal.com/_jems_/]

Okay, this is freaking ridiculous. The only people I haven't mentioned on AD are Oscar, Lucille, George, Lindsay, Maeby and Michael. Right? So this time I'm going with Michael. He should be a safe choice, shouldn't he?

And I went one step further and started watching season 1 today. So far I've seen Premiere, DNA Mad Scientist, The Flax and A Human Reaction is playing in the background right now. The really bad part? I had them on while I was working, translating this boring Norwegian(!) documentary about epilepsy into English. Heh, I wonder how that thing actually turned out, but the proof-reader had no questions, so... =)

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Hee. Okay, so Michael is definitely one of them, but you're still missing the other. :p And this time I won't forget to actually use the icon. ;)

See, I think you have the right idea, too, about just watching the good episodes. That's part of the reason I haven't done my rewatch, I think, is that I'm not terribly excited to slug through all of S1. :p

[cerulgalactus.livejournal.com]

1. Veronica Mars - Logan
2. Harry Potter - Ron
3. The West Wing - Josh
4. Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Spike
5. Angel: The Series - Fred

8. The Wizard of Oz - Toto
9. Firefly - Simon
10. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Her

12. Dead Like Me - Me
13. Rent - The music
14. Sports Night - Josh Charles' character
15. Empire Records - Mark or Warren

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Okay, first, I have to point out my massive hate-on for Fred Burkle. I hate her almost more than I hate Kate. And I hate Kate. Seriously. A Hole in the World? AWESOME. :p

That being said, you still managed to get a few right. ;) VM, TWW, ESotSM, and SN. Also, you were in Dead Like Me? DOUBLE AWESOME. :p

[cerulgalactus.livejournal.com]

Who do you think people are dead like?

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Hee. Dork. :)

[madmoisellestar.livejournal.com]

Harry Potter - Neville?
Wizard of Oz - Tin Man? (I'm for Toto, personally)
Arrested Development - George Michael?
Dead Like Me - Inigio Montoya?
Rent - Mark? What with the torturedwriterness and all?
Empire Records - Lucas? (Here I'm unsure, though: I personally have to go with Mark, 'cause I love Ethan Embry a whole lot, and I think you might too)

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

You got Rent! Yay! But we've had that conversation before. Totally the torturedwriterallaloneness. ;)

Also, I'm totally a Lucas girl. I do love me some Ethan Embry, but Lucas, man. Lucas. :)

Oh! You got DLM, too, except his name is RUBE! ;) And Neville is number 3 on my list, so I think that should tell you who's actually my other favorite. ;)

Lalala. I should be working! AWESOME!

[madmoisellestar.livejournal.com]

Luuuuupin!

And wizard of oz... the wizard?

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Luuuuuuupin! :)

And...totally not. :p

[sihaya09.livejournal.com]

I got your card. Thank you!

*is now hoping somebody got her Serenity, because she is broke*
*realizes she's getting lots of Target gift cards and Target sells Serenity*
*is happy*

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Yay.

*did not get you Serenity*
*got you something I hope will also make you happy*

I watched the outtakes yesterday, though. So totally awesome. I love those people so much.

[sihaya09.livejournal.com]

Also--
Wizard of Oz -- The Tin Man? He's mine.
Firefly -- Mal.
Dead Like Me -- The pretty one with the accent
Empire Records -- "What's with today, today?"

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

No to The Wizard of Oz, though you're the second person to guess that. Interesting.

But yes to Firefly (duh) and yes to Empire Records (double duh), and you're thisclose on DLM. I think I'll start calling him Pretty One with Accent from now on. ;)

[sihaya09.livejournal.com]

Oh, duh. Your DLM favorite is the older guy played by Mandy Patinkin.

[sihaya09.livejournal.com]

Buffy -- Oz. Duh. And Riley? Hee. *ducks* Okay, I'm going with Oz and Xander.
