7 things Meme.

Comment to this post, and I will list seven things I want you to talk about. They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your journal. Other people can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.

zooz gave me these things:


Supernatural:
Actually, if I weren't such a rabid shipper/pervert, I doubt I'd even like this show. I'm not all that into the early seasons. I find them mostly boring and too cheesy. I'm much more invested in the seasons that include the angels. But even so, there is too much gore, all the female characters are killed or treated like shit (or both) and so many of the episodes make me cringe from second-hand embarrassment. That said, the cast is amazing, the actors are really fucking talented and there are some really great episodes, especially in the angel story arcs. So I watch for the slash, basically. And Richard Speight Jr. God, I wish he could come back on the show somehow.

Favorite character:
This is kinda vague, but that's okay, since I really suck at picking just one favorite, even in separate fandoms. But my favorites include: Elim Garak, Data, The Archangel Gabriel, Castiel, Leeroy Jethro Gibbs, Benton Fraser, Merlin, Nightcrawler, Toad, Sherlock Holmes, Elizabeth Bennet, Bruce Wayne/Batman and many more. Clearly, what makes a character a favorite of mine is not a fixed recipe. It can be anything from a pleasing voice to a feeling of kinship or something as shallow as a hot body. (Oh, hi there, Mr. Darcy. Unf.)

Food you can't live without:
In reality, I think I could live without any type of food. My diet has always been changing, sometimes over a period of several years, but I cannot think of a single thing I would miss horribly for very long if I had to go without. I'd probably miss meat an awful lot, but if I could have bread and potatoes, I'm pretty sure I'd get over it. Cola would be rough to give up too, but I've gone long periods without, due to money troubles or just for the heck of it. So I dunno.

If you could live anywhere, were would that be:
I like my country an awful lot, so I doubt I'd ever leave Denmark. But I would very much like to move out of the city, perhaps to an old farm or something, surrounded by fields and open spaces and bright stars. I'd love that. Maybe some day.

Life as a fangirl:
It seems to be the only thing that keeps me from going insane, so I indulge myself as much as I possibly can. When terror grips me and the world outside seems full of danger, it soothes my mind to delve into fanfic or some silly TV show, even if all it does is make me forget the world for a while. Living in a brain constantly in a state of emergency has taught me the value of escapism like nothing else could. I used to see my tendency for diving into fantasy as something undesirable and inconvenient, but as things are now, it's something I truly could not do without.

Youtube vid:
I'm going to interpret this as a request for a vid. So here's one. For some reason it never fails to cheer me up. :o)

Favorite artwork:
Gosh, so many favorites. But one that springs to mind immediately is this one:
Out of the Cage by NaSyu. It's just so beautiful and it's pretty much the perfect illustration of my mind's version of The Archangel Gabriel as he is in SPN. Totally badass angel. Yessss. *makes grabby hands*
