exsequarBecause I like to make lists. They're fun and organized and put things into perspective. These are just random lists, not a meme or anything.
Top Ten OTPS (with a bias towards current)
Top Ten Characters
So I'm just about evenly split on slash/het and male/female, respectively. Interesting! It really depends on the canon, whether I need a fannish reinterpretation of relationships to keep me engaged (see: SGA, HP) or if what canon gives is enough (BSG, QaF), or some combination of the two (SPN, Firefly). And characters... I am really drawn to those ass kicking chicks, but the guys are all OVER the map. You've got an abrasive genius, a sexy gay slut, an awkward yet brave doctor, a cocky yet compassionate demon hunter, and a withdrawn bookish teacher. I mean obviously the girls are different too, but not quite as extremely so. I guess I don't really like many shy and awkward girls. Hmmmm! But all of them sure do have brains and hearts to go with the ass-kicking, yes indeed. ♥
I started wondering the other night about how many TV shows I've seen in total. It seems like I've seen or know about practically every "fannish" TV show since the mid nineties, so I was wondering how many that was. This is the list I came up with - I don't know if there's any missing, but I just cross checked with the memories of a TV download comm and I don't think there are.
Shows I've Seen All or Most Of
Honorable Mentions: Shows I've seen a lot of but never felt like finishing
And I'm currently starting up with Doctor Who! So that's 18 shows I've seen almost the entirety of (not including several OTHER childhood faves - I just couldn't leave out BMW, I still enjoy it! hee) and if you counted up that number of hours, um. It would be... a lot. *g* So what do you think, any gaping holes in my fannish experience? I refuse to ever watch Smallville, don't see myself getting engaged in SG-1, and I don't do pure comedies ever (The Office, Scrubs) so there really isn't much left that I haven't seen. Um. That's kind of scary, haha.
Top Ten Movies
I feel like that list is really predictable and lame and mainstream, lol. I'm really not a huge movie person. They're just too damn long, I rarely have the patience to really sit down and watch a whole movie. Sometimes a movie will hook me in the way TV does, with a relationship or character, and then I can rewatch it a bazillion times, but usually I just watch scenes or whatever. Yeah, I don't know. This is such a lame list *g*
Okay that's enough listing for tonight. I'm going to go read some Interview With The Vampire before I go to bed. Which is, by the way, the sexiest book ever, just like the movie, especially with visions of a pale Brad Pitt with luscious full lips and careful sharp consonants dancing in my head. Mmm.
