AHAHAHAHAHA.

Answers to the favorite character meme:

( within )

I've watched the character memes going around and, because I have a lot of work to do today, I want to play.

For each of these fandoms, guess which character is my favorite, if you feel so inclined:

1. BtVS (incl. Angel)
2. Firefly
3. X-Men
4. Roswell
5. Everwood
6. PotC
7. HP
8. LOTR
9. X-Files
10. MI-5

I'd put Highlander on, but that's so easy I can't even do it. (METHOSMETHOSMETHOS!!!111!11!) (Ahem.)

ETA: sloanesomething has conquered this meme with her awesomeness. (Other answers still welcome, of course.)

If you're feeling especially memetastic, you can also tell me which character in each fandom I most resemble, in your opinion. But I'm guessing I'll just get the most dorky/nerdy/scholarly character in each show, so, uh. Feel free to prove me wrong?

This meme is moronic, yet irresistible.

Am in the middle of watching Tipping the Velvet, and though they've gotten a few things dead wrong (like the casting of Rachael Stirling as Nan, which earns a big whaaa? for dark-haired girliness where there ought to be fair androgyny), I have to take a moment here to say that

KEELEY HAWES IS TEH SEX.

That is all.

I cannot express how much I love "Sweet the Sting." LOVE.

I am so irritated with LJ that I could spit. It ate my S2 style, which I've had for more than a year now, and now it won't let me customize the default settings on the Boxer. It lets me go in and enter new HTML color codes and click the override default box, it even saves the new settings, but they do not apply and my journal still has the bloody ugly default colors. I want my style back and I do not have time to play around with this crap any more tonight. RAWR!

Help welcomed.

My attempt to avoid getting sick has failed. The sore throat turned into a pretty nasty cold, bad enough that I cut out on office hours today to come home and lie down. I walked to the grocery store and bought soup and Kleenex and more cold medicine and now I am going to lie down some more.

I, who used to hate coffee and sweeten the hell out of my tea (okay, I still do that sometimes), am sitting here in front of my computer drinking an espresso I made myself.

Graduate school, I'm your bitch.
