It's MEME time! Woo.

Comment to this post, and I will list seven things I want you to talk about. They might make sense or they might be totally random.

Then post that list, with your commentary, to your journal. Other people can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.


1. What fandoms are you into watching/reading right now?

CASTLE, OMG! Can Castle and Beckett just please to be doing it already? Geez.

The Hollows - sort of, kind of. I don't know. There's something about Rachel that keeps me coming back to the books even when they're horrible. Kind of like Ivy to Rachel. But i'll get into that more with the next question. 

Grey's Anatomy - just because. It's a comfortable habit. I've watched since the beginning and Callie and Arizona, while are nothing necessarily to write home about, are hot and do not make me wanna cry or bang my head against a wall. 

Alphas - It's a new-ish Sci-fi show. So far my favorite character is the autistic kid who sees computer signals. Which, btw, awesome super power. I'd love to be able to jack into the internet with just my head. There's even some slight femslash potential. 

And last but not least, Venice. Hot actressess, the gay is front and center, and the soapy twists and turns are fun. I want the pay off, damn it and this brings it. There's also kick ass dramatic "oh-no-she-didn't" storylines as a bonus. Did I mention the hot lady sexy times? Because there are lots of those. 


2. Can Kim Harrison ever make me want to read the Hallows again? 

Oh god. Did you read Pale Demon? I mean it kind of sucked on the Rachel/Ivy front. Or was not the awesomeness of A Fistful of Charms, but it did have Rachel talking about not acting like an idiot and actually following through on that. Granted the compromise was Trent character assassination and making him act like an idiot, but apparently we, the reader, cannot have everything. I'm holding out for a happy Rachel/Ivy ending in the last sentence of the last paragraph of the last book. That will not be enough for most fans. Maybe if it was the whole last book? I don't know. She's done a lot to alienate her fans by this point. I guess something about Rachel's repeated idiocy just appeals to me. I find it amusing? I don't know. If I had to deal with her personally, it would not be with Ivy like results that's for sure. So I guess I'd say if there was anything that KH could do to win you back, it would probably be to let the characters return to acting how they were originally written, not they way they were written after their behavior freaked her out and made her run screaming back for the straight and narrow. 

That's why I'm hoping with her last book, and maybe financial constraints not as constrainty as in the middle of the series she'll give us Ravy. I hope. 


3. What are you doing for school/work these days? 

School. Mostly school. I was one very crammed semester short of finishing my A.A. so I'm going for it full tilt. Some days with more success than others. But I'll be done and that's progress. Work is the same old, same old. Winter isn't our busiest season, but we're actually building in the house so that's adding another special layer of crazy to things at the moment. What I would give for a sunny day and a quite space right now. 

4. hottest actresses on TV in no particular order

I'm cheating and going with some web series actresses. 

Crystal Chappell
Nadia Bjorlin
Jessica Leccia
Cote de Pablo
Eve Myles
Stana Katic
Oh! Oh! Sara Ramirez is smokin' hot! 
Yvonne Strahovski. I'd give at least my left hand to see her guest star on Castle as a fling Beckett had in college. Good. Fucking. God. 
And last but not least Jennifer Esposito and KaDee Strickland. I don't even watch Private Practice but I'm pretty sure it's the accent. And the kick as attitude. Hot.

5. Goals for writing? 

I want to write a novel. That sounds so cheesy right? Everyone says that. And I'm still kind of in that weird limbo stage. I don't really have a plot that is demanding me to write it yet. I kind of need that. There are a few fan fic things that I have in progress and want to write but nothing major. I've been getting the itch to write again lately, but I haven't had anything scream that it must be written. Which is probably good with the whole school consuming most of my waking hours thing I have going on right now. 

6. One thing on your "I wants" list?

An unlimited amount of money to spend on amazon.com so I could indulge my fancy for all-right-ish lesbian novels. Oh and I want The Grove webseries to start filming already. 


Edit - Apologies for the length. Does anyone need a cut?

Castle and Beckett just need to have sex everywhere, get married and have kids. And live happily ever after.

See, what I loved about Rachel and Ivy is that they were sort of slowly 2 steps forward 1 step back making progress. And then it just all kind of went off the rails and I gave up. I would even have been fine with them not as a "couple" but with a blood balance. So yeah. I will let you tell me if she ever redeems herself :P

I just realized, I don't know what your work *is* ?

I approve of all these ladies. Yum.

Also fucking amazon owns my soul.

And feel free to hit me back. I'm bored. :)

[jaina47.livejournal.com]

Yes, that. :D

See, I wasn't sure what had killed Rachel and Ivy for you. There are so many different people on my flist who's Hollows love has dimmed and so many different reasons for it. :)

Well my family owns an increasingly organic and sustainable farm. We raise commercial rabbits and do just about anything else people will pay us money to do. So what I do varies a lot on any given day, but whatever it is, it's generally more than plenty to keep me busy.

1. Favorite song of the moment?
2. If you find a femslashly fandom that doesn't crush hearts will you please tell me?
3. What are you reading right now, besides you know, school stuff?
4. Are you eventually gonna try to compete with Goblin?
5. Do you have any writing projects going right now?
6. Have you been working on any art lately? I know you used to do some pretty kick ass stuff.
7. What would be your ideal ending for the Hollows if you could twist Kim Harrison's arm into doing anything you wanted?

Ooh how cool! Too bad you don't live in the Pacific northwest. That sort of thing is so "in" right now its ridiculous (cool, but ridiculous)

[jaina47.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this area is almost too rural for it to be a big thing if that makes sense but we're trying. And right now our first priority is feeding and taking care of ourselves not making money so that kind of works.

watching/reading

[dardar04.livejournal.com]

I would added to the watching The Good Wife. I really like this show.

I also cant wait for The Grove to start but something tells me that Crystal is having a hard time getting it off the ground.
