OTP meme

Posted on by

I started getting ready for the trip to Hawaii (squee!) this weekend… bought flip flops, beach towels, sunscreen, shorts (ugh, I don’t typically wear shorts but they’re a necessary evil), and of course, a swimsuit. Trying on swimsuits was… NOT FUN. I don’t really have body image issues but… blech. I’d rather not have to try on bathing suits again. Ever again. *shudders*

So… I finally managed to finish up sour-lemon.org. Does anyone even remember that I bought that domain months back? lol. Anyway, I basically moved all my wallpapers and scans and combined them into one big multimedia site since I was getting tired of maintaining separate sites. There’s nothing new… yet. But there *is* a new layout! Please visit!

And some memes since I was tagged by Alie…

book meme

Rob and I just put a hold on a new apartment! YAY. 🙂 We’ll still be living in the same complex but in a different building. I’m so excited to be getting a fresh start though I’m not really looking forward to the packing… or the actual moving. EEK.

The Friday Five

1. What is the one book that you reread over and over again?
Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery. My favorite book. I never tire of reading it.
2. What is your favorite genre?
I don’t think I necessarily have a favorite but I am drawn to chick-lit as well as suspense/action books.
3. Do you usually buy your books or visit the library?
I usually buy books. I love having a collection that I can reread over and over again.
4. Who is your favorite author?
I don’t know that I have one, really.
5. What book have you read that you absolutely hated?
Beloved by Toni Morrison. I had to read it in college and it took me forever. I had to force myself to finish it. I suppose I just didn’t “get” it.

Hope everyone has a great week!

TV ships meme

Posted on by

Hopping on the bandwagon…

1. Post a list of 10 TV shows you watch/ed (current or cancelled).
2. Have your friends list guess your favorite pairing from each show.
3. When guessed, bold the line & write a sentence about why you like that pairing.
4. Post in your own livejournal blog.

This should be pretty easy, right? Note that I only picked 1 pairing per show…

1. Dawson’s Creek – Pacey/Joey (guessed by Jessica, Robyn, and Nicola)
My ALL-TIME favorite ship. It’s the sweetness and the sarcasm. I just love how their rough edges break down when they’re together.

2. Everwood – Ephram/Amy (guessed by Jessica and Nicola)
Colin/Amy were my original ship on this show but Ephram/Amy were the ones who stayed with me.

3. American Dreams – Sam/Meg
4. 24 – Tony/Michelle (guessed by Jessica, Robyn, and Nicola)
He committed treason for her! That’s love, people!

5. One Tree Hill – Nathan/Haley (guessed by Jessica
I’m not completely loving them right now (stupid Haley!) but I do love their story. How he only went after her to make Lucas angry and ended up falling in love… Aww.

6. The O.C. – Seth/Summer (guessed by Robyn and Nicola)
I don’t know if it’s the prettiness or the playful banter, but they always make me smile.

7. Alias – Syd/Vaughn (guessed by Jessica and Robyn)
I know they’ve kinda fizzled out in the last season or so but… they’re so pretty! And they have such an easy chemistry with each other.

8. Smallville – Lex/Lana (guessed by Robyn)
They have so much potential! And they have far more in common than initially meets the eye. (Or maybe I’ve just read too many of Christie’s fics. Hee).

9. Felicity – Felicity/Noel

10. Friends – Chandler/Monica (guessed by Robyn)
Chandler and his dry wit. Monica and her neuroses. Fantastic.

Guess away! Yay, thanks for guessing! 🙂

I hate losing an hour of sleep because of daylight’s savings time. It’s evil.

Some memes…

Friday Five —

1. What’s the one movie you’ve seen more times than any other?
Anne of Green Gables or the sequel Anne of Avonlea
2. If you could turn one book, comic book or other print story into a feature-length movie, what story would you pick and why?
Mmm, maybe the Shopaholic series?
3. Who would you cast?
I’d love to see Kate Beckinsale or Reese Witherspoon tackle Becky. And maybe Andrew Lincoln or Jude Law for Luke.
4. What one movie would you like to see “updated for the year 2005”? (ie, a remake)
I have no idea… umm, nothing for now, I guess.
5. What one movie are you most looking forward to this year?
Can I pick 3 movies? 😛 Batman Begins (Katie Holmes and Christian Bale!), The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and The War of the Worlds (Tom Cruise!).

The Fannish Friday Five —

Name your five favorite little-known actor or actresses.

I’m loosely interpreting this question to be actors and actresses who aren’t household names… yet.
1. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers
2. Gary Dourdan
3. Parminder Nagra
4. Dule Hill
5. Reiko Aylesworth

another fandom meme

Posted on by

Because I am incredibly behind on TV (I have 3 weeks worth of Everwood episodes to watch — craziness!), a fandom meme…

Snagged from Jessica —

Everwood
1. The first character you first fell in love with: Colin. Loved him from the very first second of We Hold These Truths. He remains my most favorite Everwood character.
2. The character you never expected to love as much as you do now: Ephram. *hides* His constant bad attitude and cynicism got on my nerves in the beginning. But I’ve really enjoyed watching him grow and come into his own… he’s had a great journey.
3. The character everyone else loves that you don’t: Dr. Abbott. I have a soft spot for the guy but I really, really, really dislike the way he treats Bright (especially compared to Amy).
4. The character you love that everyone else hates: Amy. Well, the fandom doesn’t hate Amy as much as I get the feeling that people just like to criticize her. Sure, she can be very self-centered but what teenager isn’t?
5. The character you used to love but don’t any longer: Dr. Brown. His treatment of Madison and now his affair with Amanda have completely soured the character for me.

The OC
1. The first character you first fell in love with: Ryan.
2. The character you never expected to love as much as you do now: Summer. I never expected that the writers would actually give the character some depth. I’m glad they did.
3. The character everyone else loves that you don’t: Lindsay. She makes me yawn.
4. The character you love that everyone else hates: Marissa. I don’t know what it is but she intrigues me… alcohol and lesbian storylines included.
5. The character you used to love but don’t any longer: Seth. He’s become a bit too shrill and self-absorbed. Not to mention that he doesn’t seem to have much respect for his relationships with his friends (case in point: Summer and Zach).

24
1. The first character you first fell in love with: Tony. (Or maybe I’m just getting the character and the actor confused? lol)
2. The character you never expected to love as much as you do now: Chloe.
3. The character everyone else loves that you don’t: Sherry Palmer. UGH. She was always doing or saying something stupid. I don’t understand why she’s such a popular character within the fandom.
4. The character you love that everyone else hates: Kim.
5. The character you used to love but don’t any longer: Michelle. How could she leave Tony?! Especially after he risked everything to save her life. I’m hoping that she’ll make an appearance this season to explain herself.

CSI
1. The first character you first fell in love with: Nick. His innocence is so endearing.
2. The character you never expected to love as much as you do now: Warrick and Brass.
3. The character everyone else loves that you don’t: Sara. She acts so smug sometimes.
4. The character you love that everyone else hates: Catherine. Although I’m not sure I like that she’s actually getting along with Ecklie now. Yuck.
5. The character you used to love but don’t any longer: Sara.

Alias
1. The first character you first fell in love with: Sydney.
2. The character you never expected to love as much as you do now: Jack. He’s always been kinda morally ambiguous but I know that he would do anything to protect Syd.
3. The character everyone else loves that you don’t: Sloane. He was a bad guy! He was head of SD-6! I can’t let go of his past just because he’s somehow landed himself a leadership role in a Black Ops division of the CIA.
4. The character you love that everyone else hates: Vaughn. I just… I don’t know. I keep remembering s1/2 Syd and Vaughn and I fall in love with them all over again.
5. The character you used to love but don’t any longer: I don’t know… maybe Dixon? But that’s only because the writers haven’t given him a real storyline in awhile so it’s hard to care when he’s not doing anything.

Dawson’s Creek
1. The first character you first fell in love with: Pacey. All his insecurities hiding beneath the bravado. Awww.
2. The character you never expected to love as much as you do now: Jen. I have to admit that I was a Dawson/Joey fan when the show started, so I naturally disliked Jen for “getting in the way.” She’s since become my favorite character on the show.
3. The character everyone else loves that you don’t: Andie. OMG, she drove me crazy.
4. The character you love that everyone else hates: Gretchen and Drue. Two great additions to season 4. I really wish they had kept Drue on for season 5 — it would have been really interesting to see a relationship develop between him and Jen. The writers really dropped the ball.
5. The character you used to love but don’t any longer: Audrey.

Time for bed…

I can’t believe there’s less than a week left before Christmas! Squee! Plus, I only have two and a half days of work this week. Which rocks. After that, I’m flying down to Southern CA to spend the holidays with my family. I just have to figure out how I’m going to pack all the presents I bought! Eeeep. Then on the 27th, I’m going to Las Vegas with Rob for a few days. I’ll be gone on my little Christmas adventure for a week and I. CAN’T. WAIT.

Does anyone else have any fun holiday plans? I’d love to hear all about them!

meme time

Amazon.com tells me that my OC DVDs are going to be delivered tomorrow. Squee! 😀 So excited.

My cousin and her boyfriend are driving up here from southern California as I type. The two crazies decided to start a 6 hour drive at 9:30pm. Which means that they’ll get here at around 3:30am. And I’ll have to wake up to let them in! And then I’ll have to wake up again just a few hours later to make it to work by 7:30am for a meeting! I really should be in bed by now. Oh well. It’s not like I ever get enough sleep.

Anyway, it’ll be fun to have my cousin over for a few days. I haven’t seen her in months so we’ll get the chance to catch up and I’ll finally get to see if I approve of her boyfriend. Hehe.

I also have to think about my Halloween costume for the party that Rob and I are attending on Saturday. I haven’t dressed up for Halloween in AGES. Probably not since my freshman year in high school. That was 1993. !!! Geesh. It’s been a loooong time. I was actually thinking about being Hermione (from Harry Potter) but I don’t know if I’ll be able to find the right robes and stuff. I’ve never been original when it comes to costumes anyway so I’ll probably just buy the first cute thing I see when I head to the Halloween store tomorrow night.

And because I need something mindless to do right now… a meme I stole from Linda…

First job: Cashier at my university’s student store
First screen name: CooKie01 (still is my AOL screenname, actually)
First funeral: My grandfather in 1984. I was only 4.
First pet: Dog. A lhasa apso that I named Tramp. I miss him. *sniff*
First piercing: A hole in each ear. My mom had them done when I was just a baby.
First tattoo: None. And I don’t plan on getting one either.
First credit card: Wells Fargo student credit card back in 1997 when I started college.
First kiss: Huh. I should remember but I don’t. Must not have been very memorable. Heh.
First enemy: I don’t remember this either. I don’t think I had any real enemies. ??? Or maybe I just don’t like to think I did.
First favorite musician: Debbie Gibson
Last car ride: About 3 hours ago with Rob coming back home from Target
Last kiss: Uhhh… a few hours ago when Rob picked me up from work
Last movie watched: Another one I can’t remember. Maybe Bourne Supremacy?
Last beverage drank: Coke
Last food consumed: pizza
Last phone call: My cousin Riz
Last time showered: This morning
Last CD played: Jamie Cullum’s Twentysomething
Last website visited: GMail.com
