Comment to this entry and I'll pick up to three of your fandoms. You must then update your journal and answer the following questions:

1. What got you into this fandom in the first place?
2. Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
3. Favorite episodes/books/movies, etc?
4. Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
5. Do you think more people should get into this fandom

( I was asked for Firefly, Rent and one of my choice. Which is Battlestar Galactica. )

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.

pirate_lass and helplessdancer both got me!

( So I talk about ten icons )

Also, the bonus episode of Torchwood this week? AMAZING. And whatcha mean TWO MORE WEEKS?

... wow, mediaplayer. Wow. :p

SO, my default icon TOTALLY clashes with the Valentine's Day colour scheme. Thanks LJ, now my eyes are burning. :p

I watched Hogfather today and yesterday. It's so shiny! Teatime's voice is SO CREEPY! And DEATH and Susan were BANG ON. I love both of them SO MUCH. :p My only real complaint about the movie was that Nobby looked much too human. In general though, it was splendidly done. And a lot of my favourite lines were left intact. "They need fantasies to be human. To be the place where falling angel meets rising ape." Pratchett, I love you so.

And the match girl scene! I love that scene SO MUCH. Albert trying to explain why the little match girl is supposed to die and DEATH having NONE OF THAT! "You're not allowed to do that." "But the Hogfather is. The Hogfather gives gifts, and what better gift is there than a future?" LOVE!

Also, there should be a rule against certain songs shuffling up when I'm studying. Nothing quite like studying for a midterm and then suddenly hearing "I wish I could go back to college...". I informed the song that actually, she didn't. :p

Inorganic midterm tomorrow. Hard to study for, but hopefully it won't be deadly. The one from last year looked manageable, at any rate.

Oh! Oh! Oh! Vicki and I were looking at old Grindelwald (a Harry Potter RPG that I used to play in a couple years ago before it died an unfortunate death) stuff last night. We realized that the PB for Padma Patil looked awfully familiar. We eventually realized that she was...

INARA

I'll never be able to look at Padma the same way again. This is SO going in the House Cup.

Oh, and Rent in Italian is AMAZING. :D

Hmm, lets see. Still waiting for my starting material to come in at work. I'm more or less ready to start a reaction in the lab, but that requires actually having the chemicals. :p

I made fudge today. Not sure how it turned out yet, since it's still not set. Silly old fridge/freezer doesn't get cold enough. :p Vicki got annoyed because Ryan called when I was in the middle of the fussy stage. Which meant I couldn't leave the kitchen to talk on the phone. She was mean and cranked the volume on the TV when I was having a hard enough time hearing as it WAS. Apparently it is necessary to HEAR the Titanic sink? :p

We also finally balanced money. With her eleven grocery trips against my two phone bills, one grocery trip and a couple miscellaneous activities I wound up owing her... two whole dollars. :p

I went on a Rent iconning spree today. Is it obvious? :p

( And the CRAAAAAAAAAZY hijinks they get up to! )

Slept nice and late yesterday. There are worst ways to crash. :p

Random Rent comment... I finally figured out how to sum out how adorable Collins and ANgel are. Most couples in musicals dance in their love song because it's a musical. With them, it feels like they're just randomly dancing in the street, and it's too cute for words.

Tess, stop shipping things, pwease. :p

And yes, this was because I was randomly watching the Angel/Collins scenes of the Broadway bootleg yesterday. :p

I read The Little Endless Storybook to Ryan yesterday. With voices. Can you tell I worked in a daycare? The ENdless require an interesting range of voices. Those of you who have heard my voice can understand how I might have a bit of a hard time sounding like white text on a black background. :p

Last night at anime, it was crazy busy business stuff. Well, it started with a pretties exchange as manga and Sandman and Prince of Tennis musical were passed around and everyone awwed the chibi!Endless. Then we did work. Lots of it. :p

There was much discussion of what the blazes we're going to DO with the convention next year. Our baby is all grown up now, but we don't know if we can afford the next size of clothing yet. :p I think we're finally starting to get our heads around the idea that it's not a little baby con anymore, it's getting near the status of medium convention. Though we will miss calling ourselves Ghettocon. :p

Then there was the new Hierarchy of DOOM. Lots of new positions, though I was good and only took on two new ones. :p We finally persuaded silver_sabre and nukichan to take over as con chairs. I mean, it was always going to happen, but we finally got them to officially agree. :p Better for them to take over THIS year when there's still ramenparty and Bill to help them out than next year when we all graduate. :p

We also had the much more simple CLUB exec elections. ramenparty didn't want to be president again, so now neekabe gets that fun job. That meant we needed a new vice-president, so I volunteered for that. "Election" is used in the loosest sense of the word here, and actually means "Come on guys, SOMEONE has to do it!"

Finally, we decided what new anime to buy. We decided to do things a bit differently this year and choose a certain number of titles from various genres rather than a total number from everything. This way we have a nice mix, even if most of us voted blind in the mecha genre. (I voted for Desert Punk because it was the one that didn't sound like the others :p) It amuses me that I was the one who pointed out that the unedited DVDs of Naruto aren't out yet. Which, while admittedly being so much WTF, should not need to be pointed out by the person who hasn't even SEEN Naruto, and is frankly scared of it. :p thecleric007, that Count of Monte Cristo anime and Twelve Kingdoms both made it in... kinda. They tied on the first, second and THIRD ballots. Final conclusion was "Well, we can probably get ONE more DVD into the budget. Besides, odds are at least four things we order will be out of stock." :p We also declared Invader Zim an honorary anime because enough people first saw it at Anime North and ordered it. :p

We did eventually watch something at this meeting. A little half hour thingy that was CREEPY AS HELL and then we all got to walk home in the dark. :p

Now to write my Analytical paper. :p

nukichan: I hate being such an angstslut!

In other words... we made her and silver_saber watch Rent. MWAHAHAHAH!

(Tess, they want to ban you from shipping anything EVER. :p)
