'Shame it took a power-mad homicidal maniac to bring out the best in you...'

[marguerite_krux]

Netty and I finished season 1 of TLW! It took us three days across four weeks, although I admit to skipping Blood Lust and Unnatural Selection, for reasons that should be obvious. *eyeroll* I love her, she's almost too nice to watch this show, lol, because scenes that I cringe over, she takes perfectly seriously and she's fully engaged in it while I'm laughing my head off.

I mean, Barbarians at the Gate, Netty's all, 'OMGWTFBBQMICE?!' at the most literal interpretation of a cliff-hanger in any show ever, and I'm just giggling away, 'Look at the poor woobies! Mwahaha, it's so laaame!'  And Resurrection, that opening where the blonde Viking chick introduces Roxton to the pointy end of her blade? Netty curls up in this little ball and I'm like, 'What, is it Will's terrible overacting?' and she's like, 'No, I'm just telling myself it's going to be okay, he has to make it to season 2...and get a better haircut...' Heh. That's the one thing she does criticize and often, and with good reason. Roxton's HAIR, OMFG.






I bet his hair care regime takes longer than Marguerite and Veronica's combined.







But one mystifying, perplexing, implausible haircut later...*wriggles with glee* :D

We're playing this little game along the way, identifying reused clips and sets. Funny how something like a small budget ends up allowing for a lot of giggles as we view the eps, I mean, I love it, I wouldn't want it any other way, heh.
>>>The raptor and T-rex shots are used over and over, even if they're totally the wrong angle, TPTB don't even care how obvious it is. *snorts*
>>>Marguerite's caiman in the pilot moves identically to the one that goes after Veronica in Salvation, and even miraculously oozes the exact same blood dispersal patterns [I'm no Dexter, but come on]. ^_^
>>>The set from Absolute Power turns up with a few renovations in Time after Time.
>>>And hey, I totally didn't realize this- *failz*- Netty pointed out that the Oracle from Creatures of the Dark returns as Osric! The kid excels at playing evil manipulative characters. >:P

------------

Also? Katherine and I were going out for lunch and as we're driving along- thankfully, this time she refrained from asking me to take the wheel as she checked her phone, probably because the last few times I nearly ended up steering us into the wrong lane- she goes, apropos of nothing, 'I really like the name Marguerite'. And she makes sure to emphasize, 'Not Margaret, Marguerite.'

My first thought was- well, incoherent squeeing. Second- 'Totally having a sleepover and making her sit through a TLW marathon these holidays'. Third- 'OMG, my dream of making someone name their kid Marguerite might actually come true!' :P

The interview meme:

1) Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me!"
2) I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3) You will post the answers to the questions [and the questions themselves] on your blog or journal.
4) You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5) When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And thus the endless cycle of the meme goes on and on and on and on...

1. If you couldn't use your metabolism stealing power for evil, how would you utilize it?

Ahaha, is this a trick question? Am I supposed to answer ‘but I’d use it for good, of course!’ NOT. I’m an evil Cylon supervillain in my spare time, you know. If this metabolism-stealing weapon is removed from my arsenal, I shall simply come up with other schemes in pursuit of evil.

2. Have you had any past lives that you can recall? What were they? Have you ever been a monk?

I think one generally has to go to a special past-life-recalling specialist, right? Since I’ve never been, no, I don’t recall any past lives and definitely none that involve being a monk. O.o

ETA: But just for you, I did this quiz:

You Scored as Royalty You were a person of royalty in a past life and spent your days in leisure surrounded by luxuriant things. Though you may have had a diplomatic and conscientous intent while carrying out your duties you were forever unaware of the plight of the ordinary man. This did not make you a bad person but more so rather a sheltered and somewhat ignorant one. You died of old age in a gilden-framed bed draped in silk. Royalty 65% New Soul. 60% Executioner. 55% Pirate 50% Witch 40% Slave 35% Peasant. 30% Not human 25% Outlaw. 25% Convict. 25% Fortune Teller 15% Pioneer. 10%

3. How would you describe the color red to someone who was born blind?

Spence! What’s with the tough questions?! I don’t know…I get embarrassed when I try to be all poetic, ‘k?

4. Who is your favorite fictional character?

Yay, an easy question! Marguerite Krux, FTW!



I do love my principled-women-in-authority, for instance, Lisbon, Emily, Scully…but I have a soft spot for the bad girl with the good heart underneath all the attitude and snark and endless scheming.

5. What did you dream about in the last dream you remember having? 

I think I've been watching too much BSG lately...I dreamt I was one of 'God's angels'...and I'm not religious, so BSG is definitely influencing this dream, lol. I could heal people, I could fly, I had this radiant golden glow although I don't know about any halos... :P

-----------

 

1 - Only child or do you have siblings?

Only child. I’d like to say my parents ‘couldn’t improve on perfection’ but given our constant battles over the way I keep screwing up, I’m thinking they’re grateful they didn’t have more kids because they couldn’t deal with twice the disappointment.

2 - What is your fav comfort food?

Oooh, so many answers!

‘k, for a cheap, readily available snack- mi goreng. These noodles are heaven and so easy to make; I don’t even use the stove, I just leave them in boiled water for a few minutes, then drain and add the spices, etc. Laziness is my forte. :P

If someone else is buying, I’m a big fan of fast food. KFC in particular. Mmm.

I adore pepperoni pizza but my father’s Hindu so we can’t have beef in the house. *eyeroll* He actually told me I liked it just to be difficult and that all the pizzas were the same. Um, wtf? Pepperoni be different from chicken be different from ham-and-pineapple and so on and so forth. That’s why we have varieties, because they DON’T TASTE THE SAME. /rant. 

3 - If you could have dinner with 4 other people (dead or alive), who would they be? (aside from Rachel ;-b LOL )

Since sunkrux oh-so-kindly removed the ONE PERSON that would most definitely top this list… *evil eyes* Let’s see, who else…

Torri Higginson, because I’ve loved her for a few years now and I don’t think I’m getting over her anytime soon. *swoons*

Paget Brewster, because I’ve seen a few youtube clips of her and she is funny as, great sense of humor, really  entertaining and I’m sure she’d be good company.

Will Snow, because if I can’t have Rachel, he’s the next best thing. :P From what I’ve seen of him in the bloopers and in convention vids, he’s also good fun and he’d have some awesome stories.

And…odakota_rose , because she’d appreciate the fangirly joy of this dinner party. And with this company, I’d just start panicking and freeze up due to my terrible social anxiety, exacerbated by the pressure of conversing with three people I absolutely worship, so having a fellow fan along would ease my nerves. Also, we need to flail over TLW and other fandoms in person at some stage in my lifetime.:D

4 - What do you want to do with yourself once you're done with schooling?

I have no frelling idea. Yes, I’m a wuss, but the idea of FINISHING uni is terrifying. I mean, my whole life has been about school and I can’t imagine what I’m going to do afterwards.

5 - Favorite animal?

I haven’t been around many varieties of animal. Cats and dogs and- uh, goats are the limit of my experience. After the rather traumatic childhood experience involving a  goat, and after being abandoned by numerous dogs while growing up, I’m gonna go with cats. They’re independent and don’t need to be amused, and I’m envisioning quiet evenings with a book and the cat curled up on my lap. :D Ah, bliss.

Isn't it amazing that Will was suddenly five years younger, when Tribune pulled him out of the river?! I know what it was that did it. Pirahnas.

Lookie Lookie my new icon!! *loves*

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

IKR?! It's amazing! Shedding that hair made him look years younger, way hotter and amazingly, act better! Should'a dunked the entire cast- bar Rachel- in that river ages ago... :P

Fierce new icon is fierce! *bows to it*

[speckleberry.livejournal.com]

That's just the thing, Jennifer was dunked in the river, several times! But it did nothing for her. Ok, the convention video was beyond hilarious, but as an actress...meh.

And yeah, keep Rachel away from the water!!! lol. She certainly does NOT need it.

*hugs calleigh* I love my new super-intense icons! *gives another one* I'm just in a sharing mood, hehe.

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Jennifer was dunked in the river, several times!

Wait, really? Not in BatG, though, right? Lol, I rewatched Prophecy yesterday, where her river dunk resulted in her 'becoming a tree'. *smirks*

But it did nothing for her.

Ah, sadly the river cannot rectify all acting deficiencies. That would make it way too easy. Still, I don't watch TLW for Jennifer so I can deal with it. :P

It's amazing how much I fast-forwarded because when I was re-watching the first season with Netty, I realized a lot of scenes were totally unfamiliar to me- I'd skipped past almost everything that didn't have Marguerite! My bias is showing. ^_~

Ha, you and your icons! *squishes* The three-way Super Intense Stare... I have no idea what's going on but Calleigh looks like she's about to cut a bitch. [Just so you know- the words 'super' + 'intense' popped into my head as soon as I saw the icon, not when I read your comment]

*ducks far far away from her line of vision*

Btw, forgot to mention I got a kick out of your piranha theory. I'm not sure how plausible it is, I mean, it's a miracle Roxton escaped unscathed. But HEE! *g*

[speckleberry.livejournal.com]

No, she wasn't dunked in BatG but she was dunked several times towards the beginning of the series. (Perhaps all it did was bump her up a notch from her horrendous work on the pilot. Seriously, that scene in the treehouse when Challenger shows her the photo of the T-rex, still makes me cringe and I'm only thinking about it.) It's not a fool-proof remedy, nope.

Hah! Marguerite bias is the best kind of bias. I certainly don't fault you. *admits reluctantly to fast-forwarding scenes that don't have Eric or Calleigh in CSI*

I'm addicted to me new icons, yes. But DOOD! Isn't that icon just the very definition of intense. See, what was happening, was that Calleigh and Eric (pictured stage right *loves*) just found out that Wolfe (stage left, being man-handled by Calleigh's Cuban love poodle) recieved a text message right after Horatio was shot, saying "It's done." and so now they're (as a unit) SUPA!MEGA!PISSED!!! Serious, why piss off a half-cuban, half-russian with temper issues and a five-foot, southern, firearms expert. WHY?! He was just cruisin' for a bruisin'.

Plausibility? Magic Piranhas. *nods* Marguerite can schmooze anyone. Even a piranha. (She wanted a prettier Roxton.)

*notes your icon* I honestly think that episode, Marguerite was her prettiest and that night-gown. *wants*

I like playing Icon-hockey! Here's another one.

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

I don't know if someone took Jen aside after the pilot and told her to man up or what, but thank god she got a clue because I cringe every time she opens her mouth. She sounded like the stereotypical Valley girl, all bubbly and giggly and high-pitched shrillness, and she acts so soft and wimpy, it's just like HOW THE FRAK DID THIS CHICK SURVIVE ELEVEN YEARS ON HER OWN? *headdesk*

Seriously, that scene in the treehouse when Challenger shows her the photo of the T-rex

Veronica: *dramatically slams knife down* Forgit your science, forgit your ambition, wherever these beasts are is not a place where you wanna go!

*shudders* Good work, Jen. That's...great intensity there. Really sold me. *coughcough*

*admits reluctantly to fast-forwarding scenes that don't have Eric or Calleigh in CSI*

HEE! ♥ Don't be ashamed! We shouldn't be reluctant about admitting that we put our ship first and foremost! Ships are what make a show epic!

so now they're (as a unit) SUPA!MEGA!PISSED!!! Serious, why piss off a half-cuban, half-russian with temper issues and a five-foot, southern, firearms expert. WHY?!

I love when ships team up on helpless provokers of their wrath. I get all wriggly and gleeful, it amuses me greatly. *bounces*

Plausibility? Magic Piranhas. *nods* Marguerite can schmooze anyone. Even a piranha. (She wanted a prettier Roxton.)

DUDE! LMFAO! Magic...* chokes* ...Piranhas. Hired by Marguerite. *dies laughing* OMG, I love it. She sicced them on that awful awful hair because in general, women know what's best for their men. *g* And if Roxton wouldn't obey her command, the stubborn idiot, she'd damn well find a way to make it happen, by hook or by crook.

The hair-chomping beavers are the generally accepted cause, I think, but dear god, we have a strong new contender. This calls for crack!fic. *peers hopefully*

Hmm, I honestly can't pick an ep where she's the prettiest. I really can't. Travelers stands out in my head, in particular, but...nope, I can't play favorites.

Question: is it just me or does her complexion seem even fairer and more enviable from the second season on? I notice a slight difference...like, maybe while Will was off getting haircuts- the better to confuzzle all of fandom- Rachel was investing in a new skincare regime?

Lol, what about the nightgown in particular draws you to it? That's so random... :P I want all her dress-up clothes, so pretty! It's a shame she doesn't seem to keep them and wear them for special occasions. I mean, all those lovely gowns that Gawain had made for her in Camelot...in my canon, she totally takes them home. *nodnod*

Hee, I've seen this one before. I like how Calleigh can be tough and girly and cute and scary all at the same time!

[speckleberry.livejournal.com]

You know, it kind of makes me glad that the first scene I ever saw of this show was "My knight in shining armour." Because if i'd seen the pilot first, I don't know if Marguerite's murder in the alley would have been enough to over-power Jen's epic fail. Really.

Heee! I love when Calleigh and Eric team up, period. LOVE IT! Because they're just supa, dooopa cuteness!! "...i can't imagine living my life without you." and "You missed out! I was going to marry you, but your Dad stepped in." *DANCES AROUND THE ROOM LIKE A NUT* I have never been this gleeful over a ship, apart from Marguerite/Roxton...but it's a different kind of gleeful, because as bloody intense Marguerite and Roxton were, they were Canon from the pilot and that sets you up with a certain amount of expectation. Calleigh's had boyfriend after loser boyfriend (one shot himself RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER! and the other was just an ass...loved her, but he was an ass.) and Eric used to be totally into toothing (Yesh, I just learnt what that means.) and that only changed after he got shot and his perspective totally did the flipsy-watsy and he realised he wanted to spend his every waking moment making babies with Calleigh. It's been SEVEN, yes, SEVEN YEARS! In the build up...wow. It deserves that I raise a glass of champagne...but I have none, so it gets some silent squeaky squee and a bunch of baby!fic.

Yes, if anyone knows what Roxton's hair needs, it's Marguerite and her magic Piranhas. LOL! Dude, my Magic Piranhas totally pwn your crack beaver!

Travellers is a good contender for "Marguerite's prettiest ep". I mean, the hair was in fine form. I feel sorry for "End Game" because her hair was flat and she looked really tired all through it. Which kind of sucked (but not really, because she's always pretty) because there was HEAPS of shippness in that ep.

I don't know if she was fairer. But they definately got a new make-up department and is it just me...or did Jen age quite a bit. I have a feeling there was a little gap between the seasons. Because towards the end of season three, i don't know if she wasn't well...but Jen's skin really took a nose-dive. Remember in "Tapestry" it was quite bad.

The night-gown. You didn't notice it's epic prettiness?! It was gorgeous!! And it was awesome that she wore it for nearly the whole ep. I was actually kind of disappointed when they headed for the cave at the end, because I just wanted to steal that nightie and run away with it! I love pretty clothes like that. It was so elegant in a sweet way.

Calleigh, be tough, girly, cute and scary at the same time? TOTALLY! She's got that one down to an art and when she switches on the Southern Charm...there is much goo at her feet, yep yep. Most of the goo is Eric flavoured, but she's used it on countless others. Actually, it's super!awesome when she diles up the accent to lure them in and then goes in the the mega smackdown!! LOVE IT! (The southern drawl and the "Sweetpea..." is a killer.)

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Camelot is definitely an awesome episode to start off with. If it weren't for the fact that I BOUGHT the dvds and hence had to keep watching or else hate myself for wasting my money, I'm not sure I'd've made it past the pilot.

I'm so irritated with my mother for taking my TLW dvds from my room and having a look at them without my permission. She said she was interested because I always babble about it and wanted to see if she'd like it, but of course, without any sort of explanation or excuse, the average non-fandom person is gonna go, 'OMGWTF?' and be kinda put off at first. She says she made it to the part where the blonde saves some guy and then stopped watching...FAIL, JEN. MASSIVE FAIL. *sighs with disgust* I was going to ease mother into TLW gently and prepare her for some of its unorthodox scripting and acting and all, but now she's put off it. *pouts*

Calleigh's had boyfriend after loser boyfriend (one shot himself RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER! and the other was just an ass...loved her, but he was an ass.) and Eric used to be totally into toothing (Yesh, I just learnt what that means.) and that only changed after he got shot and his perspective totally did the flipsy-watsy and he realised he wanted to spend his every waking moment making babies with Calleigh. It's been SEVEN, yes, SEVEN YEARS! In the build up...wow.

Firstly- you, my dear, are so much more resilient than I am. I can't stand shows where one or both of my ship have other relationships. It's a huge no-no for me, I can't deal with it. I bow down to your superior strength of spirit in being able to deal with Calleigh's never-ending stream of bad relationship luck because I'd've killed myself before being able to handle it. I mean that completely non-sarcastically, I'm in awe that you managed to hold out and wait the seven years for this day for your ship to arrive.

Secondly- is there a slang meaning for 'toothing'? Because I know the baby-related meaning but in this context...I'm confuzzled. O.o

Marguerite and her magic Piranhas. LOL! Dude, my Magic Piranhas totally pwn your crack beaver!

That line still cracks me up. And OY, when did it become MY crack beaver? I'm just reporting fandom's response, playing devil's advocate, it's not my personal belief! I'm subscribing wholly to your Magic Piranha theory. *nodnod*

Travellers is a good contender for "Marguerite's prettiest ep". I mean, the hair was in fine form.

*satisfied nod* I totally thought so. She's pretty in every frame, but this is the pic I'm thinking of.



Hee, you know I'm obsessed when I want to rewatch an ep just to see what her hair looked like. End Game... *bounces* I love the angst, I love her drinking scene, all full of woe and anger and despair. *huggles her* And that freaky calm later on. *shudders*

I don't know if she was fairer. But they definately got a new make-up department and is it just me...or did Jen age quite a bit.

Oh, bad choice of wording on my part. I didn't mean like, paler or whatever. Just...more perfect. I notice in the early eps that her skin looked a little dry at times. I have this thing about pores. I notice them.

Speaking of gaps, was there a time lag between the first two eps and the series? Because there's some indefinable difference in Rachel's appearance that I can't quite put my finger on and it's irritating as hell. I think there's some small change, but I don't knowwww.

And re: Jen's skin...I plead Marguerite-bias!related amnesia. I don't recall anything of Jen in Tapestry, or any change in her appearance in general, lol. She always looked the same to me...You can bet that when I rewatch Tapestry, it won't be to see her complexion, lol. OMG, that ep kicks ass. *loves to infinity*

[speckleberry.livejournal.com]

There is just such a peaceful sense of victory when a ship that has been in the works for that long, comes true. And, it makes it all the more feasible that it'll be a long term thing. Because they wouldn't drag their relationship, out for so long if they were going to make it try and fail. They're in it for the long haul now. And I love that!! Eric's actually said that he wants to "settle down" with Calleigh, which makes me turn to goo. They're so brilliant. AND I GET A NEW EP TOMORROW NIGHT!!!! *dies* And there is a spoiler that there is shippy moments in it! YAY! They're working this ship well. They're not shoving it in the veiwer's face. They're not over-doing it and they're not under-doing it. They show little snippets of it, little moments and every now and then they'll say something adorable. But really, they're just, them. And it's nice. It's rather perfect, really.

(OMG, i'm watching CSI right now and Calleigh just did a scene that broke my heart. See, Speedle died at the beginning of Season 3. It hit Calleigh, Eric and Horatio really hard. Cooper (an AV tech in the lab) has been using Speed's credit card and when Calleigh and Eric catch him out, just...Calleigh, totally breaks my heart. Cooper says - "Nobody got hurt." And Calleigh's reply is - "You don't think Eric got hurt?" Tears are fighting for dominance. "You don't think I'm hurt? What about the people Speedle gave his life for?") Dude, this show kicks ass.

Yes, Toothing is sex with random, strangers and mostly in public places. He was dealing with personal issues...he had some real down times. But he doesn't do that anymore. He loves Calleigh.

Yay! Marguerite prettiness!!

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Hee, you + nightie= new OTP? :P I feel like I'm missing out on something, I never really noticed the nightie *failz* I was too busy hating on this pseudo!Adrienne. It pisses me off when I'm vidding because she comes in and ruins the shot as Roxton's kissing Marguerite on the forehead. Ugh. *frowns*

Is it the same as her nightie in Divine Right? I don't know why I remember that one more clearly when she was shown for only a few seconds- perhaps it was because I was hoping she'd run out of the treehouse in it because she was so excited, thinking Roxton was back, lol. It was adorable! How oblivious she is to her feelings for him. *squishes*

it's super!awesome when she diles up the accent to lure them in and then goes in the the mega smackdown!

I have a soft spot for women who pretend to be all sweet and harmless with their Southern-ness and then turn on a dime and SMACK! POW! Their target is down for the count. *smirks*

I'm seeing fandom everywhere. First my friend Katherine makes that random comment about loving the name 'Marguerite' and now her favorite term of endearment is 'sweetpea'. Heh. :D

[speckleberry.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, she wasn't wearing a nightie in Divine Right, she was just wearing grundies. The only time she wore the awesome nightie, was in that episode. And it was awesome.

Calleigh is the magnificance. I love "sweetpea" i'm totally using that now! And it's totally because of Calleigh, lol. And i'm not ashamed of it.

Gotta love fandom moments. I love 'em.

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Lol, I had to google 'grundies' and got this:

A pair of underwear that is dirty and smells badly, 2. also used as a put down.

Heh. :P

But oh, I was fooled! *resolved to rewatch* I just saw something white and silky looking and assumed... *feels foolish*

And it's totally because of Calleigh, lol. And i'm not ashamed of it.

Right on! I actively look for things I can take from fandom and use in everyday life, I'm sad like that.

Like when I was on this Voyager craze and got in the habit of drinking 'coffee, black'. That was a good one. :D And from X-files, I began wearing a cross, lol.

Those were the obvious ones, some fandoms are harder. And now like a sheep, I want to start using 'sweetpea'. *sighs* Hee, you're totally making me obsess over Calleigh now and I don't even watch the show. *hides*

[speckleberry.livejournal.com]

Lol, yes. But I wasn't implying that her undies were dirty. LMAO.

You're starting to obsess over Calleigh? YAY! Check this awesomeness out! :

Sweetpea - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ww80QSsBvqo&feature=related

And if there was nothing else in the universe that could make you watch CSI: Miami. I would give you this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_3rnN9nXV4 and say, BEG TO DIFFER! This is amazingly awesome.

It's the best of the BEST FANTASTICNESS EVER!!

[mcgarrygirl78.livejournal.com]

Man, spence's questions were hard. You handled them well though : )

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

IKR?! I like thought-provoking, but damn! That one about how you'd describe color...I've read books and fics where authors do it really well, conveying textures and impressions and using a heckload of similes, but I'm too embarrassed to attempt that, lol.

Oh, I was a little dissatisfied with how I responded to the 'past life' question so I went and rustled up a quiz to spruce up my answer- and guess what? I scored as 'royalty' in my past life. *smugface* Just confirmation of what I knew all along. My innate feeling of arrogance and superiority is now validated. :P

[mcgarrygirl78.livejournal.com]

My innate feeling of arrogance and superiority is now validated.

This statement alone proves that you rock the universe : D

[stardreemer.livejournal.com]

Yeah...that hair was bad the first season! He looks much better with short hair.

I'll bite...Interview me!

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

*falls down on knees to thank the hairstyle gods*

I didn't realize how much it bothered me til I watched the whole season in order. Before, I was randomly skipping around different episodes- I'm so bad at following chronological order, lol- so this just highlighted how horrible it was. Ugh. I love that usually it's WOMEN's hairstyles that fluctuate over the course of a show and attract all the attention and debate but in TLW, it's Roxton! Hehe!

Okay, I'm not brilliant at these, so bear with me. I just realized I don't know much about your opinions on the shows we have in common, so there's an easy focus:

1. Favorite episode of The Lost World?
[Yep, hard-hitting and incisive, all right!]
2. What's the worst thing about Roswell that any new fans should be prepared for?
3. What's the best thing about Roswell?
4. What's do you most enjoy about Merlin- the ships, the humor, the magic, etc. etc.- and do you believe it should follow 'canon' as much as possible or forge its own path?
5. If you could be any fictional character, from any book, movie or tv show, who or what [!]would it be?

;D

[sunkrux.livejournal.com]

Ah, Will and his "constipation" face style of acting. LOL

Aw, you don't hate me for taking Rachel out of the mix do you? ;) Great answers to all the questions you were asked. :D

As for the short hair at the beginning of S2...there is a fic I read many years ago that addressed it. I can't remember the title or who wrote it. I want to say that beavers did it while he was floating in the water. LOL

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Heee, you crack me up. :D It's so true, though. *pets Will*

Nah, of course I don't hate you. She's a given, there wasn't any great secret that she's number one on my Most Adored list, lol. I really enjoy doing memes, it's fun being introspective, even about crazy cool scenarios that are never going to happen. :P

OMG, THE HAIR-TRIMMING BEAVERS (http://mysite.verizon.net/res0tn4y/id15.html). I read an article on these creatures at the Fashion Plateau. It's my favorite theory so far. :P

[sunkrux.livejournal.com]

That's probably where I read about the beavers. I had totally forgotten about the Fashion Plateau. LOL I know the person who's behind that site. She's a friend of mine. :( Sadly she moved back to Germany several years ago.

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

That site is hilarious, it's so cool you know the person who created it! Hee, you have interesting friends! :D It sucks that she moved though, it's always sad being separated from people. *huggles*

[laurandbillever.livejournal.com]

hehe- you people still doing that interview meme? I can't believe it is soo popular ^_^

so... you had experience with goats.....? *giggels* I only like baby-goats, the adults scare me a little :D

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

I love people who come up with these kinds of memes, it's so fun learning about other people!

so... you had experience with goats.....? *giggels*

OY! You better not be insinuating anything there. :P My mind, it goes to dark squicky places, lol. My grandparents kept some goats and I made friends with the most adorable goat ever, it wasn't a baby but it was young and cute and we went for long walks together and she was my friend. Then the relatives killed her and cooked her for dinner. End of line. ;_;

memes are indeed fun but I soo don't have time for them.... unfortunately...

hahahh dinner, huh? ^_^ well... eating a friend must be nasty, but look at the bright side- it could have been a dog. some people eat them too :P:P:P

it could have been a dog. some people eat them too :P:P:P

UGH. That was a lovely mental image. *grimaces* OMG, when I was in Fiji, there was this scandal where it turned out some of the restaurants had been actually using cat and dog meat in their food! O.O TRUE STORY. Thank god my parents and I hadn't eaten there, but gross.

It's funny that they're all animals but it's only socially acceptable- in some countries, anyway- to eat the goats and cows, etc. but not cats and dogs. I feel a little sick even thinking about it but I mean, it's all meat, right? Just one species is raised to be cattle and the other as pets, otherwise there's no real distinction...

I can't believe I'm even thinking about this. *headdesk* It's all your fault! :P

[laurandbillever.livejournal.com]

hihih- my fault, indeed ^_^ guilty :P

but yes- it is all meat.... I don't eat meat often and I am seriously considering becoming a vegetarian.... the thought that I eat something which has been alive gisgusts me more and more... maybe my imagination is too big, but I really have great difficulties in eating meat...

Three things:

Firstly- I am all over that dinner party. It would pretty much be the best thing EVER, and my life would be complete. Also, I'd be flailing like no fangirl has flailed before. Honestly.

Secondly, I call loophole. She said you could've have Rachel at the dinner party but she said nothing about Marguerite, it only said anybody, dead or alive. I could go further and say that since she's... (gasp!) a fictional character, that means she's not alive and could totally be at this dinner party. *nods* I love my brain.

Finally, have you seen the BSG finale yet? I am dying here.

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Firstly- it's ridiculous how seriously I take memes. I mean, it's never going to happen but oh my, how wonderful it is to dream.

Secondly- mwahaha! Thank you, my dear, for that loophole! *luffs your brain* Oh, wait, does that mean I have to boot you out of this party so I can fit her on the guest list? :P

Heh, wait, well, while we're pondering technicalities, couldn't we argue she's neither dead nor alive and thus exists outside the limitations set upon this party and could be added to our number without requiring anyone else to depart? :D

Thirdly- omfg. I cried. For half an hour. I can't believe the writers gave all the other pseudo!couples a happy ending and DENIED US. The most deserving couple of the show and we get screwed. Ugh, the pain. I kinda want to do something drastic, like, I don't know, give away my BSG dvds because I don't think I can ever watch this show again. I might have to take down my posters because it's hurting me to see or think of it. *woes*

[odakota-rose.livejournal.com]

Firstly- my theory is that since LJ is our escape, it only makes sense to pay attention to these things. It's serious business, yo. :P

Secondly- no. Because if you boot me out then how will I fangirl with you? And also, I will cry then.

And.. I truly like the way your mind works. It's kind of like a loophole to end all loopholes.

Thirdly- Yes. I bawled my eyes out, could not stop until nearly an hour later, and then kept spontaneously bursting into tears thereafter all weekend. *glomps* don't give up on them though! Remember all the happy times.
Besides, BSG is just too darn awesome to give up.

PS. The icon? I got it the other night because this one friend on my f-list is always dissing Roslin. I'm feeling bitchy over this, can you tell?

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Firstly- there is some science-y babble that says our thoughts affect the world around us. I don't know how, it's all quantum physics to me. But maybe if we wish really, really hard and think about all the little details, it might just come true. *nodnod*

Secondly- come on, sweetie, I'd never really eject you! I was quite serious when I mentioned my social anxiety- I'd cling to you so hard if we were faced with such esteemed company. *hides behind you*

I truly like the way your mind works.

And heh. *bows* From you, that is a huge compliment. :D

Thirdly- wow. Out of the two of us, I'm the more emotional one, I cry a lot and yet you ended up crying more over BSG! It's because of all the suppressed emotion, you shouldn't bottle it up... :P

PS. Lol. I have so much admiration for your icon. I can't believe yo're friends with someone who disses Roslin. [Heh, almost typed 'Roxton' there- they sound nearly the same! Oh, hush] Way to be passive-aggressive about it, though, Bill'd be proud. :P *squishes*

PPS. Speaking of icons- were you going to post another batch? I'm not bullying you, I just thought you'd mentioned it in a comment recently but there hasn't been an update. Am I making up stuff? Or seeing the future? *quivers*

PPS. While I'm not bullying you, I might mention how I miss your TLW comment!spams.

*iz completely objective and neutral*

PPPS. I'm thinking of deleting this icon. I really adored it but now, thinking of Bill on that planet, all by himself...
