[Poll #1735986]
( mine has always been a combination of @mindykaling (most obvious, boring answer outside of @kanyewest, i know: but whatever, there is a reason everyone loves them), @stevemartintogo and I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY, it just turns out i find him really hysterical for no reason, and @boa_1105 because she is precious and ridiculous. but actually what i want to talk about is @bryanfuller, because his twitter is PRESH )

EYEHEARTING ASIDE THOUGH, isn't celebrity twitter culture weirdly interesting? It gives us all access into these lives in a way we have never had before, and it's interesting how many people you end up liking more, but how many people you end up liking less. The ones who are exactly like you would have pictured them (SEAN MAHER: super sweet but boring as hell) and then the ones that surprise you, idk. And then the ones who just make asses out of themselves all the time, which is always fun.

Also I've kind of been using tumblr again (I know, I hate myself, etc) and I'M SICK OF LEADING A DOUBLE LIFE, so yeah this is me. I had this elaborate fantasy about how before I mentioned this to my lj friends I would have a ~cool~ tumblr, not in the lame-o tumblr popularity sense but in that it would be like THIS GIRL'S TUMBLR, which I love so deeply it probably borders on creepy. I was going to think of a new username and take pictures of stuff but then I remembered that I am just... deeply uncool. Anyway I am lame and my usage is pretty sporadic soooo no pressure or anything, I'm here more anyway. But if you do want to be tumblr friends...... yeah. WHY IS THIS SO AWKWARD, GOD, I hate tumblr.

OOOH WHILE WE'RE AT IT THOUGH IS THERE ANYONE I'M NOT FRIENDS WITH ON LAST.FM??? Because if not friend me, that is the actual best place. Even though mine is embarrassing, whatever, I'M EMBARRASSING EVERYWHERE, let's face facts.

Also is there any Troy/Annie fic besides this and this? Because delicious said "not really". But enquiring minds would like to know for sure :(

I'm having... feelings.




( memory lane )

I'M THINKING ABOUT SEEING STAR TREK IN IMAX. Hmm.

I CANNOT BELIEVE NOT ONE OF YOU TOLD ME ABOUT THIS (Chuck casting spoilers), you guys are supposed to be my EYES and EARS and YOU FAILED ME and hooooooly crap that is going to be magnificent.

P.S. BONES!!!!!!!!!!!

OH, HELLO JULY! This month is kind of turning out to be an advent calendar of magazine articles and photoshoots and interviews and clips and stills ALL LEADING UP TO THE 25TH JULY, AKA THE DAY WHEN MULDER AND SCULLY ARE BACK IN BLACK.

It's been a long eight months since XF2 became official, and there have been so many doubting Thomas moments -- David-looks-old-and-bloated moments, Gillian-looks-weird-and-bony moments, look-at-their-scary-wrinkles moments -- and I know I have had a vague but constant undertone of worry if they were really still young enough to play the two incredibly good-looking FBI agents they spent so many years portraying.

ALL THAT IS OVER.

ANYWAY, it's not like everyone hasn't had the pleasure of seeing this set of photographs several times over, so this picspam is... mostly for me. So I can come back and look at these pictures again and again and again and again!

( DAVID AND GILLIAN ARE REALLY ATTRACTIVE: 2008 EDITION )

Lately I'm reaaaaally addicted to friendsfriends. And I kind of started rebooting my LJ. And the weather is really hot. And the new powercord for my laptop still hasn't come in the mail. And I might need to reorganize my tags. AND MY IPOD IS STILL BROKEN! I really like fireworks! Sometimes I feel like my friends go out of their way to ORCHESTRATE DRAMA IN THEIR LIVES. And what exactly do you do when your DVD copy of your FAVORITE MOVIE EVER is tragically missing and has been for months? Buy a new one? I MISS IT.

SOME YULETIDE RECS BEFORE WE FIND OUT WHO WROTE THEM ALL:

( but you're going to have to click the cut first :( )

I would like this moment to lament the fact that all the Chuck entries appeared to me Casey-centric slash. What a missed opportunity for Chuck/Sarah :'( And what a missed opportunity for Californication! I would read stories about David Duchovny uttering witticisms in his underwear any day.

There are also like, 19 Pushing Daisies stories! But I can't bring myself to read them? I am weirdly against reading Pushing Daisies fanfiction. Someone needs to fix that.

Yuletide is great, you guys. There is fic for everything. There is fic for Bringing Up Baby, for goodness' sakes (which... was kind of weird. I wasn't sure I liked that)! I am sad I was disinterested in it earlier this year. Next year I think I might actually participate!


Anyway, boring real life things:

I just met Megan at Pearl Street mall for coffee and shopping things because the University of Michigan has a ridiculously short winter break and she's going back the second (the second!! What is that?) I bought SO MUCH STUFF, you guys. Seriously, I am such a sucker for after Christmas sales. Show me a bucket of girly bath stuff at half price and I go so much crazier than I probably should. I have two more bars of soap, and it takes me fooooorever to go through soap :( Why can't I stop buying it!

Anyway, it just occured to me that I probably... should have gone to the post office to check on the packages? But I rarely have that presence of mind!

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve and it is going to be GREAT. My two best friends and I are driving up to Steamboat Springs for a nice dinner, hot springs, aaaaaaand some champagne. A+ combination for an evening! There were going to be more of us, buuuuut I vetoed boys so we wouldn't have to deal with Meredith's annoying boyfriend Daniel and we don't... really like girls, I guess? ANYWAY. I am excited.

WHY THIS SHOW DOES NOT NEED ANYONE NEW (EXCEPT DAVID ANDERS)


( I tried to care about the American and Asian tours too, but then I didn't :( )

IN SUM: I love this cast, and they should go on forever acting like bffs and also take me with them next time they go to Europe.

I KNOW I SAID I WAS GOING TO STOP TALKING ABOUT THE X-FILES (wait. no I didn't! I said I should! Should is not will!) but you guys! Can we talk about how ridiculously in love with this interview I am? I know it's old, and things, but do you have any idea how much it makes me feel like David and Gillian had a brief but torrid Vancouver affair? Are you laughing at me right now? STOP. I am not alone!!

Also, nothing makes me lol like "did you two ever have sexual tension between the two of you?" HOBVIOUSLY the answer is yes.

...do I get more and more fangirly as midnight approaches? Do not answer that.

Okay, darlings. I have taped 30 Rock and Scrubs and I am actually very excited to watch them. So I'm going to do that. As soon as I can tear myself away from this interview.
