elapses: (i don't go for secretive games)

today was weird

[Poll #1735986]
I feel like we have talked in the past about how I feel this deep, ~*spiritual*~ connection to Bryan Fuller because we both come from the same place: Star Trek: Voyager. But it's also possible I'm remembering wrong, because I know the post where I analyzed the Voyager episodes he wrote and how they foreshadowed his future work as a writer/showrunner (you don't know my life) only ever existed in my head.

Anyway I was kind of LEGIT SAD when I realized Bryan Fuller had a twitter but wasn't following Jeri Ryan?? Which was depressing, considering his twitter is basically just about how much he likes the various actresses in his shows (lol if you were looking for a reason about why I enjoy it so deeply...). And then I looked a couple of days later and he was following her but not vice versa and it was like, WHAT IS THIS TRAGEDY THIS IS HORRIBLE

but then

but then


AHHHHHH WHAT IS THIS IT'S TOO BEAUTIFUL

(for the record, as previously established, Jeri Ryan's twitter is also COMPLETELY PRECIOUS but not in the same way: like sometimes I think about unfollowing her because all she does is tweet "cool links" she's found. And while I find it SO CUTE that she is like, over the top into that shit, sometimes I don't care about weird technological innovations and cute baby animals!! In fact I don't care a lot of the time. I don't know why I find it so adorbs that she does, I... think I just find everyone secretly adorbs or something, IT'S A DISEASE.)

Anyway it's also the fact that EVERY DAY he uploads a picture of the sunset all "PRETTY RIGHT NOW" (caps not mine for once), that he pretty much loves Jayma Mays as much as me (this was the best one though), is clearly still ~bffs~ with his old casts, is a giant nerd, and loves Harry Potter as much as we do. CAN'T FIGURE OUT IF I WANT TO BE HIM OR JUST BE HIS BEST FRIEND FOREVER, but ughhhhh he is the legit greatest person, here's hoping he gets another show soon.

(AND HERE'S HOPING IT'S STAR TREK: BRIGHT COLORS, starring Jayma Mays as an adorable alien, Jeri Ryan as one of 7 or 9's Norwegian ancestresses, and either KChenoweth or Tracie Thoms as the captain, I can't decide.)

EYEHEARTING ASIDE THOUGH, isn't celebrity twitter culture weirdly interesting? It gives us all access into these lives in a way we have never had before, and it's interesting how many people you end up liking more, but how many people you end up liking less. The ones who are exactly like you would have pictured them (SEAN MAHER: super sweet but boring as hell) and then the ones that surprise you, idk. And then the ones who just make asses out of themselves all the time, which is always fun.

Also I've kind of been using tumblr again (I know, I hate myself, etc) and I'M SICK OF LEADING A DOUBLE LIFE, so yeah this is me. I had this elaborate fantasy about how before I mentioned this to my lj friends I would have a ~cool~ tumblr, not in the lame-o tumblr popularity sense but in that it would be like THIS GIRL'S TUMBLR, which I love so deeply it probably borders on creepy. I was going to think of a new username and take pictures of stuff but then I remembered that I am just... deeply uncool. Anyway I am lame and my usage is pretty sporadic soooo no pressure or anything, I'm here more anyway. But if you do want to be tumblr friends...... yeah. WHY IS THIS SO AWKWARD, GOD, I hate tumblr.

OOOH WHILE WE'RE AT IT THOUGH IS THERE ANYONE I'M NOT FRIENDS WITH ON LAST.FM??? Because if not friend me, that is the actual best place. Even though mine is embarrassing, whatever, I'M EMBARRASSING EVERYWHERE, let's face facts.

Also is there any Troy/Annie fic besides this and this? Because delicious said "not really". But enquiring minds would like to know for sure :(

Josh Charles' twitter more or less makes my life. Not that I would expect anything less from ANYTHING remotely associated with him. But he made some snarky comment about people on the train who talk on the phone, and I got really ridiculously excited about that. THAT'S NOT TOO WEIRD, RIGHT?


And, adding you on tumblr (I'm allstartstofade). My tumblr is extremely uncool, but I enjoy being ridiculous on it.


PS: HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE AREN'T LAST.FM FRIENDS ALREADY? FIXING THAT RIGHT AWAY.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
CLAIRE SHOWED ME THAT, I agree, it is divine. He's so perfectly Josh Charles-y on it, I loved the picture of him making spaghetti for some reason (ugh that sounds creepy all typed out for some reason). (Do you ever feel like all Josh Charles fans are Sports Night people? Sometimes I feel that way, it doesn't seem like people come to love him through TGW unless they watch Sports Night.)

I DON'T KNOW OMG, but adding you on both!!

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/spyglass_/ 2011-04-29 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
OOOH yes! The picture of him making spaghetti was great. And just him in general. I love everything he chooses to be, and especially everything he chooses to tweet about.

Sometimes I get that feeling too, that at least the majority of people who appreciate Josh Charles come from Sports Night. I think, and I've discussed this with a couple of people, that Josh Charles really gets lost in the shuffle (even more than Christine Baranski does). Everyone talks about the women and Cary -- and they should be talking about them, because they deserve all of the accolades thrown their way. But man oh man, Josh Charles does not get nearly enough credit for how fantastic he is. Granted, he doesn't always get the meatiest scenes in that sense, but when he does, he knocks it out of the park.


YAY! Excellent :D

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, he is a delightful human being.

I guess that's what you get for being quiet-good, especially since yeah, he is hardly the show's focal point. It's also hilar to me how only people who have seen Sports Night are like, attracted to him, because sadly I think that's a big part of why you never hear about him but you aaaaaaaaaalways hear about Cary (I mean, I hear more about freakin' Cary than I hear about KALINDA).

I wondered why your tumblr had a visited-link color but I actually checked it out today since you reblogged the Matt Lauria/Madison Burge pictures! Those twooooo, I love them so much. (I hear Matt Lauria is actually married though, SIGH.) I followed you, I'm lookupatthesky over there. I'm also terrible at remembering who's who on tumblr even when I know them on LJ. I also added you on last.fm! I'm myr_heille over there. And I just noticed that in less than 3,000 songs I will have scrobbled 100,000 songs. That is sort of scary.

Also: YES, celebrity twitters are my favorite things. It's so interesting to see ~how they really are~. I'm amused by the celebrities who post nothing but inspiring quotes and half-assed political things and pictures of their dogs.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL THAT'S KIND OF HYSTERICAL. But ugh yes they are darling!! I saw that about him being married too. It's weird to think of them as... adults? I gues I'm used to thinking of the real FNL kids as like, actors in their mid to late 20s now, but those two are so much the new kids to me, I haven't registered them as actors yet. I don't think I knew Madison Burge's name (I mean I'd read it, but I couldn't've recalled it) until I saw that! But sweet deal, I added you back. I don't follow enough people to get confused about tumblr names yet, but I CAN DEFINITELY SEE HOW THAT WOULD GET TO BE AN ISSUE :|

=I'm amused by the celebrities who post nothing but inspiring quotes and half-assed political things and pictures of their dogs
Those are the best ones!!! It's just so... normal. And endearingly lame. More than any stupid picture of a star grocery shopping in the "STARS THEY'RE JUST LIKE US" section of a tabloid, that just goes to show that stars are just like us.

[identity profile] ambiguousreason.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I forgot to include Donald Glover and Gillian Jacobs in the poll but they are the best. My heroes. It's always so disappointing when a celebrity is really not that great on twitter, too, I liked Zooey Deschanel more before I started following her on twitter.

Anyway I'm going to follow you on tumblr and last.fm, I'm underwaternow and ambiguousreason respectively.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh god what did Zooey do?!

[identity profile] ambiguousreason.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh nothing in particular but everything she says just feels so forced and ~indie~ and/or hipster-y and she's always talking about the obscure bands from the 50s and 60s that she listens to on vinyl in the mornings and it's all very eye roll-worthy. Others may feel differently, etc., but I was like PLEASE.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL, kinda unsurprised though, that sounds exactly how a Zooey Deschanel twitter would end.

ok so I put Kanye because it's been a while since I've been on twitter and I just got a new one and I'm not following any celebs yet and Kanye is always hilar BUT actually I don't have one favorite because my favorite thing about twitter is watching cast members interact, ESPECIALLY OLD CASTS OH MY GOD, they make my heart flutter. like okay this is gonna be the lamest reference ever but I'm a really nostalgic/sentimental person and I was a nut for old Disney Channel shows and I love that a lot of them are still really close friends despite only having worked together a couple seasons - like my friend pointed out yesterday that Aly Michalka and Ricky Ullman from Phil of the Future (I TOLD YOU THIS WAS GOING TO BE A LAME REFERENCE BUT W/E I LOVED THAT SHOW OKAY?) had dinner together recently and they posted a twitpic and it's been like 6 years since the show ended and just !!!!! I love that sort of stuff.


I AM ALSO REALLY BAD AT TUMBLR but anyways I just got a new one (I got a new everything recently I can't ever just get one new thing, I'm like addicted to fresh starts idk) so this is me (http://chrisdiedforyoursins.tumblr.com/) and I followed you!

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
IT'S OKAY, Kanye really is alway shilar. But omg I love that too, I'M SUPER NOSTALGIC TOO, if my own favorite twitter stuff didn't clue you in. That's cute that they're still friends, I EAT THAT SHIT UP TOO.

Lol I GUARANTEE YOU I AM WORSE but k I will follow you back.

I DID NOT KNOW BRYAN FULLER WROTE FOR VOYAGER BRB LOVING HIM MORE THAN EVER CAN LEE PACE BE ON THIS NEW STAR TREK YOU'VE DREAMED UP???

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
GIRLLLLLLLL, HE IS THE REASON WE GOT BRIDE OF CHAOTICA

And he's seriously a giant trekkie (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/40515), his blurb on imdb is seriously like 50% about how much he loves Star Trek.

LEE PACE! CAN BE ON ANYTHING HE WOULD LIKE TO BE ON, I don't know how I left him out in the first place.

LEE PACE! CAN BE ON ANYTHING HE WOULD LIKE TO BE ON

INCLUDING ME WHAT WHO SAID THAT.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Who wouldn't say that, is the real question here.

[identity profile] superskittles76.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
LOL I totally wanted to make my tumblr all cool before I went public with it but got lazy and gave up. I totally suck at it though because I have this horrible fear of being repetitive or spammy and I usually feel like no one would care about what I post or reblog anyway so I mostly just look at everyone elses. Following you now :)

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Ughhhhhh, I JUST... YEAH. It is a weird place and I don't really like it and I feel self-conscious, I don't know. BUT K, FOLLOWING YOU BACK. (I like your icon.)

[identity profile] veils.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
TO BE HONEST, the Castle cast as a whole on Twitter is my favourite thing because they constantly tweet each other and are ridiculous and now they have extra cute points because Molly Quinn has revealed herself to be the biggest sweetheart on the face of the Earth, but I love Stana and Seamus the most for the above reasons. SO MANY DUMB PICTURES OF THEMSELVES, IDEK.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
That video of Nathan that Seamus tweeted was pretty magnifique.

[identity profile] pinkverse.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
i followed you on tumblr! this is me (http://madrigals.tumblr.com/). i usually just reblog pretty pictures/nerdy things, because...i don't know what else tumblr is for, tbh. and one day i will figure how to use last.fm, but i'm ridiculously slow when it comes to social media :D

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Luckily for you nerdy things are my favorite always! And hahah, last.fm is my favorite because YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING. GREATEST SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM EVER!

[identity profile] cambridge.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL OFC people put actual celebs and I am like YEAH INDIE CELEBS!! It's funny you mention the celebrity twitter culture thing too because it's something I think about a lot. FOURTH WALL IS BEING TAKEN DOWN! It's especially weird when they obviously search their own name or um, actually read their replies. Thank god I haven't been really ~ruined~ by any twitters, mainly because the ones I follow are bands! ACTUALLY WAIT. I used to be super obsessed (like this is probably an understatement) with Hilary Duff and I read her twitter. I thought "wow, she is kind of dumb." ALSO AMANDA BYNES! So I guess have been ruined. :(

I LOVE HOW MUCH YOU LIKE THAT GIRL'S TUMBLR! How did you even find her?? I hate tumblr too, I mean I like it more since I started posting my picspams but oh god THE SPOILERS. I forgot so I checked tumblr and I already was spoiled for Doctor Who even though it LITERALLY JUST ENDED at the time I checked. Also, I think I start to hate/be annoyed with people more there, which isn't good. I ALSO KIND OF HATE MY TUMBLR/WISHED IT WAS COOL TOO. :(

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
LOLOLOLOL, YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE!! But yeah I agree completely, ugh the searchers are so often showrunners :| I also find it kind of weird when they reply to stuff like I WILL CRY IF YOU DON'T @REPLY ME, idk. The kind of person who would say something like that doesn't deserve an @ reply, okay?!

LOL I AM OBSESSED, MY LIFE. Um it was throughhhh one of her BSC things though. But ughh that is HORRIFIC, that kind of thing will never not make me angry.

TUMBLR IS GROCE

WE ARE SELLOUTS

TRUE STORY.

[identity profile] forthesky.livejournal.com 2011-05-02 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
I found that I couldn't answer that question! How awful, I am very fond of a few people but mostly in their cast groups? The Leverage and Castle casts are my favourites, probably, and I love NPH as well. I just followed Kate Walsh and she is so cute too.

OMG YOU HAVE TUMBLR! I never expected this! I go through stages with it, and it will just show my terrible taste (I am about to make a post about how I am watching Grey's Anatomy D: WHATEVER SEASON ONE AND TWO ARE AMAZING AND I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO BE ASHAMED). Anyway I will follow you right now! Also I've been meaning to email you for literally months about a few things, I should get on that.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2011-05-02 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
A lot of people have said that! Hmm.

YEAAAAAAAAH, I mean idk how much I'll actually use it, but, yeah. (Right now it seems like mostly I just frysquint at it trying to remember which username goes with which person. IT IS SO CONFUSING! I AM SO HAPPY YOU ARE JUST PLAIN FORTHESKY!) And dooooooooooooo it, I MISS YOU.

Tumblr is my Grease-style summer fling. All I want to do is play in the waves with it and never leave but then September comes and I have to go to school and everything is ~different~.

By which I mean I have to work so I never tumbl anymore. :c That said! I am now following you! I'm here (http://akahypotheticals.tumblr.com/). I also have a last.fm account but I find the program NEVER scrobbles correctly with my ipod anymore, what is up with that? :/

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2011-05-03 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
I AM SORRY FOR YOUR PAIN. And oh my god idek what's up with last.fm and ipod plays, last year it wigged out on me ipodwise and scrobbled every song I'd played TWENTY TIMES and I've barely used it with my ipod since :(

[identity profile] manasseh.livejournal.com 2011-05-03 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
I just think there's something crucial that is broken deep within the last.fm Windows version of the program that they can't be bothered to fix because lol free service and dgaf. Which sucks because everyone loves charts!
