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.

hey! it's a word.

Name, Age, Location: Avery, 21, Mississippi
Fandoms you're currently super into (or at least chatty about): NCIS, The Good Wife, Castle, Mentalist, Grey's, Leverage, X-Files (I'm 6 eps from finishing S3, it's slow going, lol)
Old fandoms you will never be able to completely leave behind (the special ones, though, not your entire fandom history): The West Wing, ER, Sports Night, Studio 60, Charmed, Everwood, Firefly, BtVS.. there isn't really an end to this list, tbh.
Your three very favorite celebrities: Oh god. Umm. Kelly Monaco (bonus points if you know who that is). Kristen Bell. Jennifer Aniston. Maybe. Something like that, lol.
1-3 song(s) you're super into at the moment: Shake It Out by Florence + the Machine. Mr. Know It All by Kelly Clarkson. Citywide Rodeo by The Weepies.
Hogwarts House you would fit best in: Gryffindor.
3-5 adjectives your mom/best friend/significant other/someone who loves you would use to describe you: Witty. Smart. Dorky.
Describe the last 10 lj entries you've made in less than 3 sentences: TV, memes, and fic.
Things you like & do not like in lj friends: I would honestly say there's a bit of everything on my list. I'm a big shipper and I'm very loyal to my ships, but I'm also very respectful that my ships are not other people's and I expect the same from my f-list. So I guess really I look for respect/maturity more than anything. There's no wrong way to fandom (sans creepy stalking people in rl at which point we might need to have a chat, lol).
Anything else you'd like to add? I don't post just a lot, a lot. I'm *trying* to get better. I used to be quite good at it, lol. I do however read my f-list almost daily and I'd say I'm a pretty fair commenter.

Oh my goodness, where are you in Spain? I'm moving to Madrid in like two weeks.

[summerstorm.livejournal.com]

I'm in Ciudad Real, a couple of provinces south of Madrid (and just a short train ride away!). I lived in Madrid for a few months before I dropped out of college for reasons, but I want to move there/try the college thing again. I just can't afford it yet. I hope you enjoy your stay! I haven't experienced the city enough to have a strong opinion of it, but it does have its charm. If nothing else, it's probably one of the best places for a foreigner to move to in Spain -- at the very least it has theaters that run non-dubbed movies. /tunnel vision

Anything else you'd like to add? My profile is more comprehensive of what I'm like, but I'd love new friends! I try to be 18+ simply because we have more in common but if we have mutual friends or I've seen you somewhere before I will definitely consider you :)

[lukecanwaltz88.livejournal.com]

You're mutual friends with a ton of my favorite people. We have a lot of mutual interests. And I'd love to be friends, if you're willing!

[care-says.livejournal.com]

Haha, well that movie thing is quite good to know (way to prioritize, self!). I'm seeking small vestiges of home since I'm going to be there for a year and it's filling me with excitement that quickly bleeds into anxiety. How long have you been there?

[hecatescurse.livejournal.com]

Gah, I keep seeing you around and I keep wanting to friend you partly because we share common fandoms/friends, but mostly because you're a fellow psych major! So this is the perfect opportunity!

Friends? :D

[lukecanwaltz88.livejournal.com]

Sure thing!

[summerstorm.livejournal.com]

In Ciudad Real? I was born and raised here, so, all my life. I was only in Madrid for three-four months, but it's not the most impersonal city. And it has a lot more international stores than most other places in Spain -- not just the theaters, but there's a lot of Starbucks (corporate evil, whatever; I wish there was a Starbucks here, homemade iced caramel macchiatos are just not the same) and fast food chain places, and Fnac is a pretty good mainstream store to find international movies/literature/etc. It's also not a difficult city to get used to. The subway's pretty straightforward, at least; I never really used the bus system.

[annalouwho.livejournal.com]

We may not watch the same shows at the moment, but I can tell from your icons that you love a lot of things that I love too, especially Doctor Who/Amy Pond, Harry Potter, The O.C., lots of movies, and good music. And I love polls! AND BEN WHISHAW. I just finished watching The Hour, and he is so incredible in it (and so different from how he was in Bright Star), and his character is like my new favorite. Have you seen it? And would you like to be friends?

[annalouwho.livejournal.com]

if you've written like ten entries in the last, say, three months about how it's still the greatest ship and Steve Kloves is greater then JKR, then I am going to secretly think you are the worst and you're going to secretly think I am the worst and THAT'S JUST NOT A GOOD BASIS FOR A FRIENDSHIP.

LOL, ILU.

[sailtonorway.livejournal.com]

Yay! Friended!

(Especially because I periodically check on yr Chris Fine picspam just to see if he's like... improved. Face-wise.)

HAHA oh lord, I don't even know what is up with that man right now. But who cares about his face when his bulge is just staring at me tbh.

[care-says.livejournal.com]

Good to know! Thanks. =) I'm just not really sure what to expect, not to mention that my Spanish is poor at best (I can ask for the bathroom and order food off a menu; it's pretty much the extent of my high school Spanish).

Also, haha, you are like the only other person on here that said they were watching Hart of Dixie. I kind of love it, in those totally weird way.

[sailtonorway.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, Alex, I'm so happy you did this! I was just thinking how I have barely added people in the last year, and it made me really sad. So! I'm excited, LET'S DO THIS

Name, Age, Location: Czarina, 21, California
Fandoms you're currently super into (or at least chatty about): Breaking Bad (OH MY GODDD), Parks & Rec, Game of Thrones, mainlining my way through Sex and the City reruns
Old fandoms you will never be able to completely leave behind (the special ones, though, not your entire fandom history): The Office, HIMYM
Your three very favorite celebrities: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jon Hamm, Mindy Kaling
1-3 song(s) you're super into at the moment: The Rapture - "Miss You", The Throne - Gotta Have It, Lana Del Rey - Diet Mtn. Dew
Hogwarts House you would fit best in: ...I WAS NEVER SUPER INTO THIS :( But according to this sorting hat quiz I'm a Slytherin!
3-5 adjectives your mom/best friend/significant other/someone who loves you would use to describe you: Haha uhhh, just recently I was told that I'm like a "puzzle". I'm told that I'm hilarious, crazy, sweet, and pretty from the first graders that I tutor.
Describe the last 10 lj entries you've made in less than 3 sentences: OH GEEZ, I'm all over the place, but I like to post about music a lot! And whatever TV shows I'm into (which seems to be Sex and the City right now), and also life stuff.
Things you like & do not like in lj friends: I looove people who are enthusiastic about what they love but also recognize faults within what they love. People who can carry a conversation, be sarcastic, fool around are people I love! And I love hearing about real life stuff too.

I'm not too particularly picky with what I dislike, but if we don't have anything in common then it's difficult for me to reply. And also if you like shows with only white dudes, I'M SORRY but no ty.
Anything else you'd like to add?

[summerstorm.livejournal.com]

I've never traveled anywhere I couldn't speak the language, but people do it all the time, so I guess it can be done! And I'm sure your anxiety will vanish as soon as you set foot on the airport/wherever you're staying.

Hart of Dixie is so cozy. It's honestly become one of the TV highlights of my week, no shame.

[pathstotread.livejournal.com]

"Fandom" was definitely an overstatement on my part! I just meant that I really love the show, even more so now than I did in S1-2, and every time I try to check out the being_erica comm on LJ, or read the TWoP thread or Tumblr tags, I wish I hadn't. The majority opinion seems to be so radically different from mine. And since it's a show that makes me so happy, it makes me sad that my "fandom" experience with it is not.

[annalouwho.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, I decided that Jon Snow was my favorite before I even read a single page of the book, because I saw the first episode of the show before anything and the only characters I was really intrigued by were him and Tyrion; and I also just loved the idea of him, like his whole passionate, tortured misfit archetype. And then when I started reading the book, HE WAS EVEN MORE WONDERFUL THAN I IMAGINED, AND I TOTALLY FLIPPED OUT. But then I watched some later scenes of his from the show and I was like, OH MY GOD WHY ARE YOU SO SOLEMN? AND WHY ARE YOU LIKE 25 YEARS OLD?

[in48frames.livejournal.com]

Haven + anti-guilty-pleasures + GRAMMAR + all the mutual friends! Let's do this.

[pathstotread.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Adding you now.

[cambridge.livejournal.com]

I'VE GOT HEARTS IN MY EYES EVERY TIME I TALK ABOUT BEN WHISHAW!!! I have seen The Hour (him and Romola Garai as BFFS? YES PLEASE!) but I haven't finished it yet because I am so bad at finishing things. You've actually reminded to do so! of course, I'm adding you now.

[annalouwho.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm just generally not a good reader to begin with. Like, I don't have the attention span for it, even with books I really like! What usually happens is that, in the middle of reading something, I get excited about reading something else, so I switch, and then that pattern continues until I end up with all these books on my shelf that I've only read half of. Which is why I was so excited that I actually finished A Game of Thrones! But now I kind of want to read Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy before the movie comes out. SUCH IS MY LIFE WITH LITERARY ADD.

Yes, let's!
