HELLO FRIENDS

Last night [livejournal.com profile] dudski resurrected the top fives meme, and it reminded me that as many times as that has gone around I haven't done it since like, 2007? Maybe 2008? So eons, in internet time. (Which means you can even feel free to default to asking me to the most boring, basic top five questions if necessary!) BUT UM YES: please ask me top five-type questions!!

TOP FIVE ELENAS
1. you!
2. There was a pairs skater named Elena, idremember her last name but her partner was an Anton? A COUPLE OF ROUNDS OF OLYMPICS AGO. She was cool! I LIKED HER FACE.
3. Relatedly I used to figure skate with a girl named Elena, she was the only fellow lefty I trained with other than Vivian! She was really nice, much nicer than her bratty friend Jordan.
4. The only other Elena I can think of is Vivian's ex-girlfriend but idk if she counts because I've never met her?
5. (H)elena is totally the best Midsummer Night's Dream character? I REALLY WANTED HER TO HOOK UP WITH LYSANDER, I D E K. This is pathetic though, I'M SORRY YOU DIDN'T GET TO TOP A MORE CUTTHROAT LIST :(

TOP FIVE MOMENTS IN HARRY POTTER
5. When I was a kid (13ish) I was like, super crazy obsessed with the Yule Ball/specifically the line afterwards that implied Ron had ripped apart his Viktor Krum action figure (I could recite that paragraph from memory). It is not nearly as centrifugal to my enjoyment of of Harry Potter now that I don't have to spend as much as my life ~convincing~ my middle school friends that Ron/Hermione was endgame, but it feels wrong to ignore it.

4. I really love the scene in OotP right after they meet Grawp/Ron's big game, idk, just... the trio relaxing by the lake, Ron being twerpy, and Harry and Hermione breaking stuff to him.

3. The scene where Harry talks to Luna after Sirius dies? Which makes me sound like a crazy Harry/Luna person, which I'm not even, I just found that moment really poignant.

2. Honestly basically the entire last... quarter? of Prisoner of Azkaban, but my faaaaavorite is the stuff in the shrieking shack (DRAMATIC TWISTS AND REVEALS I love that shit idek) and my even more favorite is:

"You know what this means?" Black said abruptly to Harry as they made their slow progress along the tunnel. "Turning Pettigrew in?"

"You're free," said Harry.

"Yes...," said Black. "But I'm also -- I don't know if anyone ever told you -- I'm your godfather."

"Yeah, I knew that," said Harry.

"Well... your parents appointed me your guardian," said Black stiffly. "If anything happened to them..."

Harry waited. Di Black mean what he thought he meant?

"I'll understand, of course, if you want to stay with your aunt and uncle," said Black. "But... well... think about it. Once my name's cleared... if you wanted a... a different home..."

Some sort of explosion took place in the pit of Harry's stomach.

"What -- live with you?" he said, accidentally cracking his head on a bit of rock protruding from the ceiling. "Leave the Dursleys?"

"Of course, I thought you wouldn't want to," said Black quickly. "I understand, I just thought I'd -- "

"Are you insane?" said Harry, his voice easily as croacky as Black's. "Of course I want to leave the Dursleys! Have you got a house? When can I move in?"

Black turned right around to look at him; Snape's head was scraping the ceiling but Black didn't seem to care.

"You want to?" he said. "You mean it?"

"Yeah, I mean it!" said Harry.

Black's gaunt face broke into the first true smile Harry had seen upon it. The difference it made was startling, as though a person ten years younger were shining through the starved mask; for a moment, he was recognizable as the man who had laughed at Harry's parents' wedding.


FOUND FAMILY ;__;

1. THE FOREST AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS WITH ME AND THAT CHAPTER, but oh my god I just get so emotional.

TOP FIVE THE ONLY THREE SONGS WITH WHISTLING I CAN THINK OF
3. The 88 - How Good It Can Be
2. Andrew Bird - A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head To The Left

I AM INTRIGUED THOUGH, what are your favorite songs with whistling?

I am v honoured to be your favourite Elena cos there are SO MANY and all. I was browsing the wiki page in case you went "I DON'T REALLY KNOW ELENAS" and the figure skater you're thinking of is Elena Berezhnaya! ALSO UM DID YOU KNOW ELLIE GOULDING'S REAL NAME IS ELENA? I like her so much more now!!! Kindred spirits.

omg yesssss to the Sirius Black thing, I love that last paragraph you quoted SO MUCH. FOUND FAMILY ALWAYS WARMS MY HEART!!! I kind of feel like rereading HP again but like, that might be too much for me. I need time to recuperate. Every time I re-read Deathly Hallows, I am always like "oh no how are they going to find the Horcruxes" and it's so bleak and then not and I am just so amazed by them, ugh I love them so much brave Gryffindors.

huh this is actually hard. YESSSS to Phantom Planet though. I remember everyone (including me) going crazy over that version when it first came out. SO GLAD I suckered the lead singer of Phantom Planet to play it for me. So I second that and Andrew Bird! I think they would be (NO NUMBERS because I don't knowww)

Noah and the Whale - 5 Years Time
Peter Bjorn and John - Young Folks (I feel like this is probably the pinnacle of whistling songs)
Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes - Home
Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks
Juelez Santana - There It Go (the Whistle Song) (just kidding)

actually I suck at this (could have sworn at one point I started a playlist titled "whistling") but I found this great blog - http://allwhistlingsongs.blogspot.com/

I DID NOT KNOW ELLIE GOULDING WAS AN ELENA, she might've knocked someone off that list had I known. (You've never been an Ellie, have you?)

I KNOW I DIE EVERY TIME I READ IT, ugh just that whole thing breaks my heart in the best possible way because you know, every time, it won't happen, but they just want it so much. But yessssss omg.

AHHH YOU KNOW SO MANY! Actually I know a couple of those I just didn't think of them. I love that there's a blog about it though, INTERNET YOU ARE MY FAVORITE.

AS LONG AS SHE DOESN'T KNOCK ME OUT. I have not! Never even knew people could take "Ellie" out of "Elena" since it's the same amount of letters.

ugh how much do I love that it was Harry's happy memory for his Patronus? :'( :'( :'(

YEAH I mean I feel like there are a lot of whistling songs (of course there are, look at the blog) but it's hard to think on the spot! oh I also really like The Drums a lot because they whistle so much and are so fun.

TOP 5 TV SHOWS

5. Sex and the City
4. The O.C.
3. Friday Night Lights
2. Star Trek: Voyager
1. The X-Files

(WHO LET ME BE A PERSON)

TOP 5 THINGS I LOVE ABOUT VOYAGER
Once I saw this promo for Voyager (and when I say "once" I literally mean one time, I watched a shitload of Voyager reruns in my youth and this was only used once) that was like "7 reasons 7 young men watch Star Trek: Voyager" and it went 1. Jeri Ryan 2. Jeri Ryan 3. Jeri Ryan 4. Jeri Ryan 5. Jeri Ryan 6. Jeri Ryan 6. Jeri Ryan 7. Seven of Nine

And in the spirit of that there's a part of me that wants this list to be 1. Everything 2. Everything 3. Everything 4. Everything 5. Everything

BUT LIKE I WOULD PREVENT MYSELF FROM TALKING ABOUT VOYAGER THINGS
5. I dug up this (http://clairelight.typepad.com/seelight/2009/08/geek-post-why-voyager-rocked.html) a couple of weeks ago and I really love it, it's basically about how even though it's lame Voyager is actually really innovative as a TV show because (among other well-reasoned reasons) not only does it place women in positions of power, it shows strong-willed, interesting men willingly taking a backseat to them both professionally and personally.
4. The use of tropes is gratuitous and also incredible. The episodes that should be the worst (NAZIS IN SPACE) are often their best.
3. I SERIOUSLY FEEL BAD FOR EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE BLOOD FEVER IN THEIR LIVES, like, seriously. PON FARR: HE HAS TO REJECT HER BECAUSE HE LOVES HER!
2. P/T A K A MY FIRST OTP A K A THE BEST SHIP!!! They are like, beautiful in all kinds of ways but most specifically I love that they are like these two completely different personalities that work really hard to make things work because they love each other. Also I love that we get to see all three phases: flirty, dating, and MARRIEDS.
1. THE CHARACTERS!! Specifically I love B'Elanna Torres more than like, anything in the world (and omg HARRY KIM YOU DARLING LITTLE BOY), but I think that the brainblock I have with the other Trek series is the fact that I never love everyone on the crew? And I do on Voyager. EVEN NEELIX, COME AT ME INTERNET. And I love how much they love each other, omg all their stupid bonding scenes are my favorite :3

TOP 5 (TV) CHARACTERS (BECAUSE WHERE WOULD I DRAW THE LINE OTHERWISE OH GOD?!) (I CAN BARELY DO THIS)

5. Kirsten Cohen
4. Sharon Agathon
3. B'Elanna Torres
2. like, everyone on FNL, HOW DO PEOPLE HAVE FAVORITES ON THAT SHOW

oh my god, I love this comment SO MUCH. if I wasn't lazy, I would draw hearts ALL AROUND IT. how much do I love that you drew hearts all over the girls? A LOT!! I FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT SULLI. PRETTIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD, how is her face so perfect. I saw that she got bangs!! IDK how I feel about that but I am generally a bangs supporters. also she was wearing a peter pan dress/top (idk, I forget) so of course I loved it a lot. I LOVE HER A LOT.

I FORGOT THAT I WAS GOING TO LIKE THAT ONE TUMBLR POST YOU MADE ABOUT THE GIRL FROM CHI-CHI. anyway I liked that post a lot (And then takes extra pictures of herself the next morning to make up for it crying), it always amuses me when you talk about her. one day there will be more than five chi-chi stans, I'm sure of it.

man, this comment shows how blatantly into SM (NOT S&M because I worded this TERRIBLY but you know) we are. loling FOREVER over that Leeteuk thing. HE IS SUCH A PHOTO BOMBER! and I will probably never get over the fact that you are a) leeteuksexual b) that you even made up a word for it.

Re: not going to make it through the next one without crossing the character limit, so: 1/?

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2011-08-12 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
LOL AND THEN I GOT TO THE BOYS AND WAS JUST LIKE "NOPE, TOO MUCH EFFORT". I think I like the bangs though! Mostly I guess I just like that they gave her something different, I don't know.

Lol because my love affair with her is blatantly ridiculous. Idk why I've imprinted on her so hard buuuuuuuut yeah. BUT LOL IDK THAT DAY MAY NEVER COME TBH...

BUT I KNOW RIGHT, like I can't even try to hide it, CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP. I'm so glad you & Catherine are the same way though, wouldn't it suck if one of us was like, a YG stan? AND LOL SRY THAT WAS SUCH A COP OUT, I couldn't find anything in gchat search even though I know Catherine and I have >:)ed over him like, embarrassingly often. SOMEDAY!!!!!
