elapses: (leave your boyfriend at home)

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: Alexandra, 21 (but less than a week away from 22, ACK), Colorado
Fandoms you're currently super into (or at least chatty about): The Good Wife, kpop (WHAT), NBC's Thursday comedy block minus Whitney (especially 30 Rock, I JUST CAUGHT UP THIS WEEKEND AND IT WAS PRETTY MUCH THE BEST WEEKEND OF MY LIFE) (not really) (but maybe), errrrr I am super into the watching of Modern Family/Happy Endings but not so much the discussing of them, and so far I am really enjoying Pan Am?
Old fandoms you will never be able to completely leave behind (the special ones, though, not your entire fandom history): The X-Files, the O.C., Harry Potter, and various Star Treks (but by that I mostly mean Voyager). ALSO: Alias and the West Wing, and pretty much everything I have ever watched? I AM SUPER BAD AT LETTING THINGS GO, 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. Creature of nostalgia!
Your three very favorite celebrities: Jennifer Aniston!! And also Mindy Kaling (such a boring answer because it is everyone's answer but... I mean...) and Gillian Anderson.
1-3 song(s) you're super into at the moment: When I'm in a tv phase (and I really am right now!) I'm not as much in a music phase so there's nothing I've been replaying or anything! So weird. I like Dessa's new song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2ylxUkKv98), though. And I am suddenly super into this Kara song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYoYoBtLqOY&ob=av2e), even though it's kind of like disco exploded and then went up a couple of octaves.
Hogwarts House you would fit best in: I always thought Ravenclaw, but Pottermore says Slytherin and I have readjusted to my new life view remarkably quickly.
3-5 adjectives your mom/best friend/significant other/someone who loves you would use to describe you: bratty, secretive, snotty, intelligent (I FEEL LIKE A TWAT ADDING THAT BUT...) (this answer may or may not have been copypasta'd from a couple of months ago when I used this as a poll question.)
Describe the last 10 lj entries you've made in less than 3 sentences: They have involved linguistics polls, stuff about shopping, tv feelings, lists of links, two embedded videos, and a lot of nonsense. (Only about half of those ten entries are locked, for the record.)
Things you like & do not like in lj friends: I always feel super awkward when I have that one person on my friends list who I can literally count the number of comment conversations I've ever had with (because we've had two), so: please don't be that person. And what I don't like is people who are still all serious about Harry/Hermione. Like, if it's a vague old preference, whatev, I am (mostly) an adult, but 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.
Anything else you'd like to add? TOTALLY JUST FORGOT IT WAS TUESDAY AND NOT WEDNESDAY and tried to turn on my tv to watch the end of Up All Night, this does not bode well for the rest of my week, yikes. (Also: what is the inter-network conspiracy that has decided that Tuesdays should be reserved for reality shows and terribleness?! You're all ruining my life.)

[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'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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

From: [identity profile] legalliquid.livejournal.com
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 :)

I kept thinking I commented already, but nope.
So, you seem super awesome, especially since you're both a fellow Slytherin ~and~ hosting the first friending meme that I'm actually involved in :)

I completely understand you on the failing to let fandoms go front. I kind of just cycle through old fandoms monthly and wish everyone else would get as excited as me about them.

Also, I had to look up NBC's lineup since I watch my shows online(which is easier because I forget what airs on which day), but I pretty much agree with you. And you like Happy Endings! Friends?

Yr disdain for Harry/Hermione shippers is giving me life! At one point it looked like Internet had evolved and we were starting to co-exist peacefully but I just want to shout: but you were wrong!!! And legit, people who are still writing meta about it, I don't know. I want to be the bigger person here but there is something about it that creeps the 11-year-old in me O U T.

So I guess I'm saying we should be friends.

Jennifer Anistonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. -smish-

Should I watch Pan-Am??? So far I am like I guess Pan-Am, Up All Night, and Revenge are the ones I'm hearing great things about... What I am not hearing great things about: Terra Nova. And then oh my god, this reminds me that I am the worst and NEED TO WATCH THE GOOD WIFE. D: I've been planning to for months and months and I just, ugh ugh ugh, WHY REAL LIFE DO YOU EXIST.

I really need to catch up with 30 Rock as well. I just don't understand that Whitney show - I just don't find it funny. MEH~
I am kinda obsessed with Modern Family, so that point made me happy.

Friends?
