i actually have to go RIGHT NOW but i expect to see FROLICKING IN THE COMMENTS when i get back >:(

I like friending memes! I sort of get why a lot of people don't, I mean, there's something very public about them, and sometimes you end up friending weirdos and you have to deal with them for a couple of months until the unspoken grace period ends. But. Friending is kind of an awkward process and I love how friending memes steamlines it, creates an appropriate environment for asking in a way friends only entries never quite manage. Also they are fun! And I have always met great people through them. Also I just like them. In any case, I don't know about your friends, but mine keep complaining to me about not having enough of this type of friend or that type of friend and... this is how we used to fix that kind of problem! And it's been a long time since I've seen one floating around my part of lj.





So I am not totally sure that the 72 people I have friended is enough to like... properly power a friending meme, especially since lj is quiet-ish lately. But prove me wrong! Go forth, fill things out, respond to things, and please tell your friends (because even though I have great friends who can see this I ALREADY HAVE THEM FRIENDED, what do I get out of this?). I don't have a pre-prepared code for advertising but... you can see the entry link, and you all know better how you want to advertise that I know anyway.

........I AM SUCH A BUM, sorry, please still do my meme! Even though I didn't make graphics. Or think of a title. OR DO ANYTHING BESIDES THINK OF QUESTIONS.

THIS REMINDS ME THAT ONE TIME A DUDE I DIDN'T KNOW ACTUALLY DID EMAIL ME A PICTURE OF HIS PENIS! Still don't know how he got my address.

YOUR USERINFO SAYS YOU ARE A SLYTHERIN, Pam Butledge, I am confused.

[livejournal.com profile] dudski has implied that you are good people, I clicked on something and then something else a while back and read THE ENTIRETY OF YOUR SNSD PRIMER and I think it just sat and festered in my brain until I spent ALL of yesterday watching music videos and trying to tell them all apart (I'm up to four I can identify by sight consistently!) (...four-ish!), your HP thoughts ARE MY HP THOUGHTS, AND YOU ARE THE HOST AND MY MOTHER RAISED ME RIGHT, so would you like to be friends?

I feel like every time I declare I'm ~super over~ something I end up re-feeling all the feelings it had to offer within a year.

REMEMBER THAT ONE TIME WE WERE ALL GOING TO WATCH COFFEE PRINCE AND YOU GUYS DECIDED TO WATCH ALIAS INSTEAD? YEAH! never letting that go.

ilu for your things you like & do not like answer.

OH MAN I'M SO GLAD OTHER PEOPLE WERE SORTED INTO SLYTHERIN. I feel weird about it but also like I secretly knew it all along, which is making me feel even WEIRDER about it, Idk Idk. SORRY, RAVENCLAW, BUT YOUR RIDDLES WOULD PROBABLY MEAN I'D SLEEP IN THE HALLWAY MORE OFTEN THAN NOT.

Name, Age, Location: Elle, 22, California
Fandoms you're currently super into (or at least chatty about): Happy Endings, Young Justice (I just started), Revenge, Hawaii Five-0, Bones, Rookie Blue, Suits, Community, Merlin, etc. Honestly, it’s probably easier to assume that I like *everything* unless otherwise stated.
Old fandoms you will never be able to completely leave behind (the special ones, though, not your entire fandom history): Harry Potter, Supernatural, Leverage, SGA, so many more …I don’t even know what really counts as an ~old~ fandom for me. I love shows way past their due date and I can’t stay away for long.
Your three very favorite celebrities: Grace Park, Donald Glover, Alex O’Loughlin
1-3 song(s) you're super into at the moment: I can’t think of a favorite song right now, but I’m super into country music with some hip-hop/pop thrown in.
Hogwarts House you would fit best in: Not that I’ve signed up for Pottermore, but I want to say Slytherin...though I’m afraid that might say bad things about me…so Slytherin, but in a good way? Is there a good way?
3-5 adjectives your mom/best friend/significant other/someone who loves you would use to describe you:talkative, calm, friendly, procrastinator
Describe the last 10 lj entries you've made in less than 3 sentences: TV pilots, Delicious!fail, an irl not!crisis…and then I caught the flu…but I’m back!
Things you like & do not like in lj friends: I like people who post more than once every six months, but I guess most people do :) People who comment on my journal and like when I comment on theirs…I think I’m pretty easy honestly.
Anything else you'd like to add?Total disclosure— This is my first friending meme because: a) I am a former lurker, and b) I’ve never found one of these things while it was still going on. Also, I usually friends-lock my entries because I’m super paranoid, not because I have exciting secrets to keep.

Name, Age, Location: Anna, 26, Wisconsin
Fandoms you're currently super into: DOCTOR WHO FOREVER AND EVER AMEN; A Song of Ice and Fire, though I've stalled after the first book at the mo; and The Hour, which I just finished and it was amazing. (Clearly an Anglophile here.)
Old fandoms you will never be able to completely leave behind: Buffy, Firefly, Harry Potter, Felicity, The West Wing, The O.C. (Season 4), Battlestar Galactica; and Gilmore Girls & Friday Night Lights are probably my legit favorite tv shows of all time.
Your three very favorite celebrities: Paul Newman and Audrey Hepburn (YEAH OLD SCHOOL) and Robert Downey Jr.
1-3 song(s) you're super into at the moment: Stars "How Much More", Arcade Fire "Empty Room" and "Half Light II (No Celebration)"
Hogwarts House you would fit best in: I used to dismiss Ravenclaw outright because I am not a bookish person at all, but I've recently come to realize that I do actually have a lot of their traits. I definitely value wit and an open mind, I'm generally not very judgmental, and I always try to see different points of view.
3-5 adjectives your mom/best friend/significant other/someone who loves you would use to describe you: lazy, sarcastic, and cute.
Describe the last 10 lj entries you've made in less than 3 sentences: Wow, I am really on a big fanmixing kick, and I've started iconning again too! Too bad the new fall shows are mostly pretty meh, but at least there are a lot of great-looking fall/winter movies coming out to make up for it. ALSO, GO BREWERS.
Things you like & do not like in lj friends: I like people who are super passionate about fandom and love things. Criticism, yes; constant venom, no.
Anything else you'd like to add? I just bought all four seasons of Mad Men and Series One of Downton Abbey! I have heard nothing but amazing things.

I'M SO GLAD MY NEFARIOUS PLAN TO INFECT OTHERS WITH THE SNSD DISEASE IS SLOWLY BEGINNING TO WORK, because at first it did not at all. AND I LOVE FELLOW HARRY/HERMIONE RESENTERS, so yes, I WOULD LIKE TO BE FRIENDS.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2011-10-12 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
I sort of have and sort of haven't? I AM SUPER BAD AT 7PM SHOWS, a lot of the time I don't get home until like 7:10, so I've seen 2/3 of every episode but I don't think I've seen an entire episode since the first. So. Not one of the ones you talk to about it. I don't know, it's weird, because it's funny/enjoyable, but I'm just not that into it yet.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2011-10-12 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
I had to think of spy plots for my yuletide story! IT WAS RESEARCH. Also IT'S ME AND CATHERINE, WE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN GROUCHES AND RUINED IT FOR YOU ANYWAY.

(I really love your icon! No one is surprised!)

Fandoms you're currently super into (or at least chatty about): Downton Abbey, The Good Wife, kpop, and also I'm pretty into Prime Suspect at the moment.
Old fandoms you will never be able to completely leave behind (the special ones, though, not your entire fandom history): Star Trek (Voyager, mostly) & The X-Files!
Your three very favorite celebrities: Gillian Anderson, Boa, aaaaaaaand... to be honest, probably Miley Cyrus, but idk
1-3 song(s) you're super into at the moment: Soft Shock (acoustic) - Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Shake it Out (Remix feat. the Weeknd) - Florence & the Machine, Sister Wife - Alex Winston
Hogwarts House you would fit best in: Slytherin, apparently (but a surprising amount of friends/family guessed Hufflepuff when I asked, sooo)
3-5 adjectives your mom/best friend/significant other/someone who loves you would use to describe you: Antisocial, embarrassing, neurotic, whiny.
Describe the last 10 lj entries you've made in less than 3 sentences: I LIKE POLLS A LOT and also pretty things and girl groups and word vomit, and I have feelings about Matthew and Mary ALL DAY EVERY DAY.
Things you like & do not like in lj friends: I like people who comment and post fairly frequently, or at least obviously make an effort, and I am big on responding to comments/having conversations so I like people who also like that. I also enjoy filling out polls and reading about other people's feelings about things, because I like it when people are enthusiastic/excited!! I like people who are not afraid of being embarrassing and LOVING THINGS even if they are kind of lame (especially if they are lame!) because I like to post about things that I LOVE but sometimes I get embarrassed about it! so I like to know I'm not being judged.
Anything else you'd like to add? SORRY I SOUND SO BORING

I AM EXACTLY THE SAME!! I mean I always kind of thought of myself as a Ravenclaw with underlying Slytherin traits but IT WAS STILL A SHOCK. But it also wasn't?! One second Pottermore was undermining the self-sorting I had staunchly believed for YEARS OF MY LIFE and the next I was like "why are the Gryffindors beating us in house points? THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE". So. Yeah. It's definitely nice not to have to worry about the riddle issue in any future Hogwarts daydreams. Unnecessary stress, Ravenclaw!

[identity profile] legalliquid.livejournal.com 2011-10-12 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly! I mean, I didn’t sign up for Pottermore yet, but I felt pretty Slytherinish. And then I wondered who self-sorts themselves into Slytherin? Lol.
In Ravenclaw, I would definitely be lurking in the hallway until someone came along to let me in every night. Like how in high school, all of my friends had to open my locker for me because my lock was definitely out to get me :)

Hi! I think I friended you before, because I've been commenting on your posts. So this is my official 'please friend me back' comment :)

And about the TOOTHPASTE DISASTER, the same thing happened to me, only it was my favorite peach scented lotion and my grandmother. I *still* haven't found it again in stores.

Your three very favorite celebrities: Kanye West, Simon Amstell, Aubrey Plaza
1-3 song(s) you're super into at the moment: Sóley - I'll Drown, Frank Ocean - Pyrite (Fool's Gold), Nicola Roberts - Yo-Yo
Hogwarts House you would fit best in: I've always thought I was a Hufflepuff because I am a total "other" kid but recently some friends told me I'm too mean for to be Puff and would fit into Slytherin so obviously I'm having a major identity crisis all the time.
3-5 adjectives your mom/best friend/significant other/someone who loves you would use to describe you: funny/lazy/fickle
Describe the last 10 lj entries you've made in less than 3 sentences: Fandom musings, real life whining, random mess and music!

Old fandoms you will never be able to completely leave behind (the special ones, though, not your entire fandom history): The West Wing, Dawson's Creek, Everwood
Your three very favorite celebrities: Mindy Kaling, and two players to be named later? This is not a fair question.
1-3 song(s) you're super into at the moment: Also not the question I want to answer after coming home with a head full of Matt Nathanson. So - Modern Love by him. Punching in a Dream - The Naked and Famous. Hey Mama - Mat Kearney.
Hogwarts House you would fit best in: I'd like to say Ravenclaw, but probably Hufflepuff.
3-5 adjectives your mom/best friend/significant other/someone who loves you would use to describe you: Stubborn. Lazy. Know-it-all.
Describe the last 10 lj entries you've made in less than 3 sentences: I watch a lot of tv and read a lot of books and occasionally obsess about sports. The end.
Things you like & do not like in lj friends: Likes: People who both update and comment. Enthusiasm. Appropriate capslock. Not feeling guilty for loving things and then telling me why I'll love them too. Dislikes: Excessive commenting and posting. I realize that's a contradiction, but we all know what I mean, right? Being careless with spoilers. Being a dick.
Anything else you'd like to add? GO SEE MATT NATHANSON RIGHT NOW. I'm sorry, I'm not usually this single minded. That's a lie, I am. It's just usually directed towards more awesome things. At least I think they're awesome. I will stop talking now.

who self-sorts themselves into Slytherin?

Haha SERIOUSLY. I mean, the Pottermore screen turned green and I was like whaaaaaaa-that's fair. I mean, I'm competitive to a fault and kind of a jerk a lot of the time and frighteningly susceptible to Stockholm syndrome/group mentality/peer pressure so I GUESS IT MAKES SENSE. Well played, sorting hat. Well played.

About your dreamy man-barista, I know exactly how you feel! A guy at my favorite coffee place used to draw hearts and cartoons on my coffee cups when I went inside to order. And now I've found out that 1) he does it for all of the girls, and 2) some other employees do it too whenever there isn't a long line of customers.

You and your peach lotion have my deepest sympathy. THAT MUST HAVE BEEN [AND MUST STILL BE] TERRIBLE.

WHICH WILL BE NEVER, BTW. BECAUSE POTTERMORE HATES ME AND WANTS ME TO BE A SQUIB FOR THE REST OF MY NATURAL LIFE.

Name, Age, Location: Carrie, 27, California for the moment, but I'll be heading to Oklahoma soon (and if you're thinking DOWNGRADE, you're preaching to the choir)
Fandoms you're currently super into (or at least chatty about): Haven, Downton Abbey, Primeval, Being Erica even though I hate the fandom, The Good Wife, Parks and Rec, Nikita, etc. I just finished catching up with Young Justice and I ADORE it. And I'm really loving Revenge and Pan Am so far. And My Drunk Kitchen = my life.
Old fandoms you will never be able to completely leave behind (the special ones, though, not your entire fandom history): Friday Night Lights, Angel, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Farscape
Your three very favorite celebrities: I don't know, I love lots of people! I love Mindy Kaling a lot.
1-3 song(s) you're super into at the moment: To Have Heroes - Lost in America. And let's just say it's a rare moment when I don't have some Selena Gomez or Taylor Swift song in my head, so if you have no tolerance for teen pop/mainstream music, my journal is not for you.
Hogwarts House you would fit best in: I always hated this question, but then Pottermore sorted me into Hufflepuff and WOW does that make sense. So yeah. Honey badger ain't care!
3-5 adjectives your mom/best friend/significant other/someone who loves you would use to describe you: brave, caring, hardworking
Describe the last 10 lj entries you've made in less than 3 sentences: "Wow my life has been pretty horrible the past few weeks, but friends are amazing! I went to a wedding. Did I tell you guys I love Haven, because I LOVE HAVEN."
Things you like & do not like in lj friends: Likes - enthusiastic people with whom I can flail about stuff we have in common, people who pimp stuff they love and aren't ashamed of it no matter how "guilty pleasure" it seems, people who use LJ cuts for spoilers even days/weeks/months after something aired because IT'S JUST GOOD MANNERS, people who know how grammar works. Dislikes - people who make horrible manips, people who use horrible manips as their icons because THAT SHIT CANNOT BE UNSEEN, not cutting for spoilers/length, people who constantly rain on other people's parades. If you don't like something I love, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
Anything else you'd like to add? Not really, but if somebody wanted to order me a pizza right now, that would be stupendous.
