I&#8217;m sick. My face is all red and my nose makes me look like Rudolph and I am plowing through my tissue box like there&#8217;s no tomorrow. Plus, it&#8217;s been super super hot lately. So instead of being happy and enjoying the weather, I&#8217;m actually miserable because the warm weather is making me all sweaty and uncomfortable. Awesome.<\/p>\n<p>I think I may have found my new reality TV obsession for the summer &#8212; <i>Fame<\/i>. I was actually planning on watching the encore of the <i>Dawson&#8217;s Creek<\/i> finale (*sniff*) but I happened to be channel-hopping and found it. It&#8217;s some good stuff. Dancing was a huge part of my high school and college life so I love the dancing aspect to this show. I really liked Alex (I think?) from tonight&#8217;s group of 6 &#8212; he was the one that sang &#8220;Just Friends.&#8221; His voice was just gorgeous. Wowzers. He made me meeellllltttt. Mmmm.<\/p>\n<p>Fandom meme (what *does* this word mean?) stolen from <a href=\"http:\/\/soup.echo-pepper.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jessica<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><b>Fandom<\/b>: <i>Dawson&#8217;s Creek<\/i><br \/>\n<b>What drew you to this fandom?<\/b><br \/>\nFirst, it was just the spoilers and then ultimately, it became about the people I met. Back in season 3, I was desperately searching the internet to find spoilers for the season 3 finale. I just *had* to know if it was going to end with Pacey and Joey. I found the spoilers by way of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forums4fans.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Fan Forum<\/a> but I also discovered a really great community where I didn&#8217;t have to hide my obsessive fan!girly quirks.<\/p>\n<p><b>Are you involved in the fanfic world for this fandom?<\/b><br \/>\nDoes reading count? Cause I definitely don&#8217;t write fanfic, lol. For DC, I especially love <b>Nik<\/b> at <a href=\"http:\/\/pub102.ezboard.com\/bpjofics\" target=\"_blank\">Pages of True Love<\/a>, <b>Laura Smith<\/b> at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sigma957.com\/romantical\/dawsonfic.html\" target=\"_blank\">Never Thought I&#8217;d Be Here<\/a>, and <b>Kaytee<\/b> (though she no longer has her work archived anywhere). I don&#8217;t really have a lot of time to be looking for fic so I usually have to depend on recs.<\/p>\n<p><b>Are you involved in any (other) web community for this fandom?<\/b><br \/>\nI&#8217;m a member of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.all-surrounded.com\/creek\/\" target=\"_blank\">Creek Network<\/a>. We&#8217;re just a group of Creek-loving webmasters who all run a variety of DC sites.<\/p>\n<p><b>What are your three favorite episodes?<\/b><br \/>\nThis actually changes all the time (hey, I&#8217;m fickle) but for now: <i>Detention (106), True Love (323)<\/i> and <i>All Good Things&#8230;Must Come to An End (623\/624)<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p><b>What was your favorite story arc? (spanning at least three episodes, not necessarily in a row)<\/b><br \/>\nPacey and Joey&#8217;s love story in late season 3 and season 4. They&#8217;re my most favorite TV couple ever.<\/p>\n<p><b>Favorite character to love<\/b>:<br \/>\nJen. Michelle Williams was definitely the most under-used actor on the show but in the few scenes she did have, she always managed to convey a real depth and vulnerability to the character that made her so likeable.<\/p>\n<p><b>Favorite character to hate<\/b>:<br \/>\nEddie. Gah. &#8220;Why won&#8217;t you get with me?&#8221; Ewwww.<\/p>\n<p><b>Character who, throughout the series managed to surprise you the most<\/b>:<br \/>\nPacey. Always considered the &#8220;loser&#8221; of the bunch, he has consistently proved to the others and, more importantly, to himself, that he is capable of much more than anyone ever expected of him.<\/p>\n<p><b>Favorite non-actor person on the set<\/b>:<br \/>\nGina Fattore, one of the writers. She has written some of the best Pacey\/Joey episodes: <i>Four to Tango (309), The Longest Day (320), True Love (323), and Future Tense (404)<\/i>&#8230; to name a few.<\/p>\n<p><b>Least favorite non-actor person on the set<\/b>:<br \/>\nJason Palmer, a writers&#8217; assistant. He has been responsible for the &#8220;Ask Jason&#8221; section of the official site for the last 2 seasons, in which he consistently gives the worst answers to questions and he thinks he&#8217;s funny. He also wrote the horrific episode <i>Lovelines (619)<\/i>. Just awful.<\/p>\n<p><b>Strangest name you remember appearing on the screen after the opening credits<\/b>:<br \/>\nObi Ndefo. He played Bodie. I just think it&#8217;s a cool-looking name and I&#8217;ve always wondered how to pronounce it.<\/p>\n<p><b>Best piece of dialogue<\/b>:<br \/>\n&#8220;I remember everything.&#8221; &#8212; Pacey to Joey in <i>The Anti-Prom (322)<\/i>. Such a beautiful scene that made me melt.<\/p>\n<p><b>Best. moment. ever.<\/b><br \/>\nJoey running after Pacey to tell him she&#8217;s in love with him in <i>True Love<\/i> (323). I love the way Joey anxiously runs to the dock to catch Pacey before he can leave &#8212; and the way Pacey&#8217;s face lights up when she says that she&#8217;s in love with him.<\/p>\n<p><b>Shippiest. moment. ever.<\/b><br \/>\nWhen Joey chooses Pacey in the series finale. YAY!<\/p>\n<p><b>Of all your fandoms, why pick this one for the meme?<\/b><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s the only one that I consider myself an active participant in. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boo.
