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: 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.

Hi! We've got Doctor Who, Buffy, Firefly, Harry Potter, Gilmore Girls, and some friends in common, plus I'm digging your general vibe. Friends?

i'm in the middle of reading a game of thrones and i love itttttt. possibly more than i like the show, although there are good/bad things to both, really. ALSO you like buffy and robert downey, jr.!! friends?

YES, IT'S SO GOOD. I sit there crying all over myself like every ten pages because I just love that fucking family so much. STAAAAAARKS. I cannot deal with the tv show (yet), though, because everything is still so fresh, and all the little changes feel so huge to me, especially when it comes to my boy Jon Snow.

Anyway, yes, let's be friends!

JON SNOW OMG. (http://all-bones.tumblr.com/post/7142777467/vega-ofthe-lyre-apriki-hello-friends-and) he and daenerys are my favorites, although i mostly pretend that daenerys is 16 like she is in the tv show because i'm just too creeped out by reading sex scenes featuring a 13 year old.

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?

I am potentially permanently stalled in the 5th book of ASOIAF and got very stalled after book 1, so I feel your pain. Also, 4th season of OC love! And Stars! Friends?

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!

MOST PERFECT HUMAN BEINGS EVER.

Downton should be waiting at my house when I get home today! I'm so excited to start it, though I might actually watch The Hour again before I do.

We have a bunch of friends/fandoms in common (The OC Season 4 FOR LIFE), and you seem cool. I also like what you say about Criticism vs. venom, because that's exactly how I feel. Mind if I add?

Okay, so I know what I have listed on my own doesn't overlap with yours very much, but we have legacy fandoms in common and you're about to watch two of my favorite shows and you live in Wisconsin and as far as I'm concerned that makes you good people. Friends?

And you love Sansa! That makes you good people, too. So, yes!
