Mary Ann's a bitch.

I realized I haven't made a post about real life and general things in a few days, outside of those twitter posts. Oh, and I should work on putting LJ cuts on those. I'll get around to that tomorrow or Wednesday. For now, have some bullet points with notes and random thoughts.

• Dear 2009: Stop with the celebrity deaths, please. Thanks.

• It's a good thing we don't have any booze around here and I have little to no interest in it. If I made up a drinking game about Kanye West and any LJ/twitter post that mentions him, it wouldn't end well.

• I noticed that I hadn't been paying attention to any television shows. I think I got utterly disappointed with Heroes so badly that I dropped TV altogether. Most of the time my TV is off and I'm either reading or playing around on the computer/PSP. So uh. What's everyone watching lately?

• I've been writing! Considering I've been suffering from a writer's block for a long time, I feel good. I'm still not happy with the finished products, but it's better than nothing.

I've got a problem, though. I have an RP line to write I've been putting it off since June, I have to write it, and this OC's voice isn't active, at all, which ... making me panic a lot, because he's ... literally not clicking in my head, no matter what I try and do with him. I've had this character since I was fifteen or sixteen years old, and I don't want his muse to go comatose on me. :( Can any writer on the flist lead me to writing exercises I can work through to poke him back to life? Anything will help a lot. ♥

• Also, I am in dire need of Beast Boy/Lightning icons. Dammit, cheriestar. I am looking at you. (LJ totally needs to give us more icon space. 100 icons, plus one royalty icon for every subscription renewal, is not enough.)

Dear 2009: Stop with the celebrity deaths, please.
IKR?! It's so sad.

I watch True Blood (although the season just ended), Gossip Girl, Merlin, Big Bang Theory, Dollhouse.... I'm not really sure if you'll like them. Everyone has been talking about Glee, but because I never keep up with TV schedules here I have no idea if it's playing or if I should even see if I like the pilot. But I haven't liked anything musical except Phantom of the Opera, so I'm not sure.

Seriously. Just when you thought 2008 was bad, 2009 sneaks up on you. What the hell, Universe?

True Blood, Merlin, and the Big Bang Theory caught my interest here and there. I've heard nothing but great things!

Glee... I'm not sure. I love musicals, but I keep picking up on the vibe that Glee is really overhyped. That, and just from first impressions, the characters don't sound that likable to me. The music's great, though. I'll probably just keep an ear out for that, at least. XD;

Merlin and BBT are my favs at the moment. Merlin because of cute boys, and BBT because I actually find it really funny. And the cast for both shows is fantastic. I may have to see what all the hype is about with Glee. I haven't seen any trailers for it, but a few people on my flist are liking it.

Eye candy is good! BBT, I watched a few clips whenever I could, and it made me laugh. Although the fandom looks a bit intimidating. Shipping wars! How I miss thee. Let me count the ways ...

It's worth the try! I'm probably DEAD WRONG about it. It's happened before. XD;

Haha I'm not really into any fandoms. I'm more of a lurker and just comment here and there. I don't have any obsessed fans on my flist, so that's probably why I haven't noticed it. I know there are lots of Jim/Kaley or Sheldon/Penny shippers out there though. I guess the other ship must be Leonard/Penny?

[samatethecookie.livejournal.com]

I only know about the supposed Sheldon/Penny fans vs. Leonard/Penny fans through fandomsecrets, whenever I do look around. I haven't seen a HUGE explosion, but apparently there's a shipping war of some sort taking place, or it's about it. I see a lot of Sheldon/Penny fans, too.

Yeah, I prefer being a lurker, because fandoms take things way too seriously. I enjoy looking in the fandom every now and then for some good fanart and fanfiction, and the occasional discussion with awesome friends, but that's about it. Lurkers can enjoy fandom WITHOUT getting involved with the unnecessary drama!

(... And I just realized I need to reply to other people in my LJ. GAH. Tomorrow! */goes to bed now.*)
