Tremendulent!

Day Two prompt - Tell me about your NOTPs. Pairings you hate, pairings you don’t understand how someone could ship, OR pairings that you are just sick of hearing about. Are there any pairings that you don’t mind on their own merits but are just so damn ubiquitous you can’t stand it?

Ooh, heck. Well, I've actually gotten to the point where I'm really, really picky about what I read and I'm not super involved in any one particular fandom anymore. I tend to flit about.

But! Here's a list of pairings I probably won't read, just because they're either too angsty or I'm not particularly fond of one of the characters: ( NOTPs )

There are still days available if you want me to chat about ANYTHING - Over here!

I've seen this around so:

Ask me about my OTP! Any of them! Or ones you think I'd be into. Go for it! ♥

Bored. Bored, bored, bored. It's absolutely bucketing down rain outside, so I couldn't even leave the office for my usual fifteen minutes of fresh air. Grrrr...

So...Meme! Hit me!

Tell me a pairing, and I will tell you:

1. When or if I started shipping them:
2. What I think their challenge is:
3. What makes me happy about them:
4. What makes me sad about them:
5. What moment I wish had never happened:
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:
7. My happily ever after for them:

30 Day Meme

Day 04 → Your favourite book

I'm going to go with a book that I loved when I was a teenager and still love to this day.

Over the Moon by Elissa Haden Guest. It's sadly out of print and I doubt many people have read it. But it instilled in me a love for New England, rocky beaches, ferry trips, road trips, silver earrings, acoustic guitars, jazz and Simon and Garfunkel.

It's about a 16-year-old girl who goes looking for the sister that left them years before. The narrator is kind, young, a little naive, but lovely. The style of writing is just easy. You just sink into this book and want to go on a road trip. It draws your attention to little things, like what type of soap someone has in their bathroom, to what finger they were their rings on, and what music is playing in the background.

It also has probably the best first kiss I've ever read.

Now, for a meme borrwed from redbrunja

Give me a character, a series, or a pairing and in return I'll give you three reasons why I love that character, that series, or that pairing!

Have fun!

Ship meme:

Pick 10 of your ships and write down a quote for each of them. Have your flist guess the ships without using Google/IMDB.

Some of these might be a little obvious.

1. -I got the date a bit wrong.
-I don't care.
-It's not 1860. It's 1869.
-I don't care.
-And it's not Naples.
-I don't care.
-It's Cardiff.
-Right.
