what may or may not be hard reality

Gimme a fandom in the comments, and I will tell you:

1. the first character i first fell in love with
2. the character i never expected to love as much as i do now
3. the character everyone else loves that i don't
4. the character i love that everyone else hates
5. the character i used to love but don't any longer
6. the character i would shag anytime
7. the character i'd want to be like
8. the character i'd slap
9. a pairing that i love
10. a pairing that i despise

And then tomorrow or so, when I have a little more time, I will probably do a bunch of these regardless of whether someone asked me, most likely for fandoms no-one but me cares at all about, and post as well.

Meme-thing with lots of questions about me from aimers81 ( under here. )

Quote of the Day - good news and bad news, but really, the so-called bad news wouldn't have been news to be bad unless there had been for the good news. So anyway...

"Had dinner with our favorite LadyCops last night, Christina Cox and Liz Vassey.  Both are working hard.  While we were together we talked about what’s next for our favorite “undercover” lovers on LadyCops for 2nd Season.  It’s going to be a blast, with some cool guest stars lining up to play hot cops and pesky perps, as well.

Our DVD is finished, but we are not going to be distributing until after the New Year – as it’s all part of the negotiations for 2nd Season.  Sorry about that.  We want to get our stuff out to you guys as fast as we can."

~Nancylee via 3WayTV.tv

OMG Yay!! More LadyCops in the 2nd season!!!! OMG Yay!! DVD is finished!!! Grrr Arrggh, how will I ever last until *after New Year*??? *whiiiiine* But over-all, awesome!! There *is* a DVD, and one way or another I *will* get it at some point. Delays be damned, I have to believe that.

And a meme from michellek: Go to your calendar and find the first entry for each month of 2008. Post the first line of it in your journal, and that's your "Year In Review".

January: So running a night-orienteering race in early January, freezing degrees, ankle-deep in snow, hail flying horizontally on the wind, while feeling the first touches of a cold, might not be the smartest thing in the world, but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun!
February: I've been behind watching episodes, so first here is last Sunday's ep.
March: You know, that time of the year, yet again.
April: In Puerto de la Cruz there's a lovely botanical garden.
May: Thank you, CuteOverload, for posting the most awesome picture ever.
June: So apparently femslash has its own day now.
July: So I'm home again, and have been since late Friday/early Saturday.
August: I'm still pretty much dead to the world.
September: So Jane Doe a decent action film, but so far (12 minutes in) it's got some of the dumbest stuff ever.
October: OMG Cameron suffering from post-traumatic stress??
November: HAPPY BIRTHDAY to fyca!!
December: Hmm... So the X-Files movie is finally out on DVD!!

In conclusion; boy was my year mostly boring according to that review...

Without anything remotely intelligent or interesting to say, I bring you my new wallpaper of Christina for no other reason than it makes me ridiculously happy (I've had the same one for two months, and it's a lovely picture, but this time of year calls for something that's not in black-and-white). It's not in any way well-conceived or gorgeously designed, or anything (although the subject matter is of course gorgeous ;) ), just some of my favourite pictures from all over the place of my favourite lady. fyca, you might want to stay away from the lower left corner but I think the other ones should be fine (as if you'll bother), and Nancylee, I'm so sorry about photoshopping you out of the picture.



( and two of those random christmas-y self-generating memes - how do they knoooow? )

I posted an F/X: The Series bit for the femslash_today porn battle, and there's totally at least one person who read it!!! Very cool. (although she did admit she'd never heard of the show... :P ) It's Angie/Mira (and fits in with another bit I have on them that will hopefully be posted at a later date), and you can read it HERE.

Also, someone wrote Blood Ties fic on one of my prompts, Vicki/Crowley, which is just amazing. I didn't think there was anyone but me who thought they had a bit of chemistry. Read that one HERE.

Yay, Porn!Battle!

and finally one of those:
Leave me a comment and I will reply with why I like you. If I don't know you, I'll either make something up or tell you why I like your LiveJournal. You must pay for the privilege by posting a message like this one on your LiveJournal.

Meme:

If you saw ME in a police car, what would you think I got arrested for?

But first, a SHOUT-OUT to the interview my icon is from, if there are any Christina fans around here who haven't seen it. It's hilarious. Watch it NOW.

So I already did this, but then fyca gave me a J, and I figured I'd do it again. Naturally, while trying to think of characters beginning with J, I kept coming up with characters for P that I'd forgotten the last time around. So here we go again with two sets of 5 characters.

1. Comment on this post.
2. I will give you a letter.
3. Think of 5 fictional characters and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ.

( 3 J, 2 P )

( 5 J - all played by Christina Cox )

1. Comment on this post.
2. I will give you a letter.
3. Think of 5 fictional characters and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ.

michellek gave me P. (Which would have been so much easier if I could do actresses instead of characters; Poppy, Peta, Portia - coincidentally all Australian...)

A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs & replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

B) Tag 8 people to do this quiz & those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by & cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.

B) I replace the above instruction. Tagging is annoying. Grab it if you want it.

Text message me, people! I will never get tired of my phone yelling "I can see Russia from my house!".

You know you're a small-town person when...

...you think spending 7 minutes stuck in rush hour traffic crossing a bridge is the end of the world. (Literally. We were like 'We must never take the car out during rush hour again! OMG! This is an absolute catastrophe!' and it was 7 minutes.)

And a Horribly Terribly long Meme, from evil_leela, because I'm bored.
( lots and lots of questions and answers under here... )

Take meme, give meme. From mylittleredgirl:

Name a character from one of my fandoms, and I'll give you either (a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon, (b) a reason he/she sucks, (c) a reason he/she is awesomecakes, (d) five things that never happened to that character or (e) five people that character never fell in love with and why. You pick the character. I pick the letter.

Xena, X-Files, Birds of Prey, The L Word, Firefly, Arrested Development, 30 Rock, CSI: Miami, The West Wing, Relic Hunter, Lois & Clark, SNL, ER (sorta kinda), LotR, Matrix, Remington Steele, Women's Murder Club, Weeds (seasons 1 & 2), Desperate Housewives (season 1), Cagney & Lacey, Army Wives, Without a Trace (early seasons), L&O: SVU (post-Alex, but not the last two seasons), Gilmore Girls (Lorelai... and uhm. Lorelai.), The O.C. (early seasons), anything else I should have seen... go for it.

from freya86:

( I'm girlier by like 1 point. But mostly I'm apparently neither... )

Snagged from mylittleredgirl:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next four sentences after that in your LJ with these instructions: No digging for your favorite book - it has to be the nearest one.
5. Tag five people. ('cuz I'm doing it without being tagged, and I'm not all that into tagging)

I literally had them lying side by side in front of me, they just arrived in the mail (yay!). So you get two quotes for the price ($0.00!) of one.

Both are by Radclyffe, the first is Love & Honor, and the second is Tomorrow's Promise.

"She wore loose white cotton drawstring pants and a matching ribbed tank top. Her shoulders and arms were bronzed from the sun, sharply etched with muscle from her workouts in the kickboxing ring. Her hair was down, and there was a dab of brilliant blue pigment on her shirt, just above her left breast. There were circles under her normally vibrant blue eyes, though, and Cam caught sight of something moving in their depths, something dark and wounded."

""Not if it means I have to move," Tanner replied in a husky voice. After a moment, she rolled onto her side and sighed in mock exasperation. "If it must be done, I'll do it." She loosened the snaps and zipper with one hand, managing to kiss Adrienne at the same time."

Now, if those aren't the very epitome of lesbian romance I don't know what is. (if I were straight Harlequin would probably be my favourite genre. *shudder*)

Stole this from mosca:

Name 6 fandoms without peeking at the questions behind the cut and then have fun:

1. Xena
2. The X-Files
3. Ellen
4. The L Word
5. Arrested Development
6. Army Wives

( questions and answers under here )

Who told?? *glare*

from various people:

One Word Meme:
You.
Can.
Only.
Type.
One.
Word.

( Lots of questions with insufficient answers under here! )

I also made a new wallpaper. It's less than impressive, PhotoShop-vise, but I kinda like it in its simplicity, and also, Ellen & Portia are cute.

The only thing to combat the heat outside, is more hotness... and blame the humidity for any pathetic jokes...

I just wanna give a shout-out to AfterEllen's Hot 100-list! Never has a list been so filled with hotness... mmmm.

( lengthy commentary on the lovely ladies - best read while following along the LIST to see the gorgeous PICS! )

In Conclusion: OMG there are so many pretty women out there. Now, why aren't there any pretty lesbians where I live?

LJ's potentially most confusing meme, passing me by for the second time; Comment here and I will pick 3 interests of yours listed on your userinfo and three icons of yours. Make a post explaining them and asking others to comment for their own.

I'm an apparently intelligent, liberal, tight as fuck, relatively well adjusted human being!
