elapses: (leave your boyfriend at home)

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.

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.

Nikita! Oh, I definitely need more Nikita fans on my flist. Also, The Good Wife, Parks and Rec, Doctor Who, Angel, Harry Potter, and even more according to your interests - friends?

[identity profile] pathstotread.livejournal.com 2011-10-12 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
More people should watch/love Nikita, it's so good! And I love your username (and your icon). Friends!

Hey! Just saw that you like Nikita and Haven, along with Being Erica and Revenge and Young Justice. And Selena Gomez/Taylor Swift type pop music :)

Plus, when you said you wanted someone to order you a pizza, I was ~eating~ pizza. Fate! lol Friends?

Well, with a spooky occurrence like that, how could I possibly say no? LOL. Adding you now!

Being Erica even though I hate the fandom

Super curious about this because Being Erica is my favourite show but I didn't even know there was a "fandom" to hate?

[identity profile] pathstotread.livejournal.com 2011-10-12 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Ohhh I see. :( I'm not involved with any of those places, but usually after the show I am in a Twitter lovefest with 4 or 5 friends who adore it. It's pretty much just peace and love because the show is so good, even if we feel different things about different things.

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

[identity profile] pathstotread.livejournal.com 2011-10-12 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Excellent! Adding you now.

[identity profile] crashandburn.livejournal.com 2011-10-13 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
We share quite some fandom, as well as awesome friends. So I was wondering if maybe you wanna give it a try with us being friends?!

[identity profile] pathstotread.livejournal.com 2011-10-13 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Absolutely! Oh man, I am totally jealous of all your amazing West Wing icons.

[identity profile] crashandburn.livejournal.com 2011-10-13 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay, adding you right back.

Thanks! It's taken ages to find ones I actually like, so if you come across anything you like, feel free to snag. ^^ Spreading TWW love will forever be a favorite past-time of mine.

I just might do that! I really need to finish my rewatch.

[identity profile] crashandburn.livejournal.com 2011-10-13 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I've started a rewatch at the beginning of the year but then somehow got sidetracked by other awesome TV. So I really should get back to this show soon. :D
