Tremendulent!

For redbrunja - repeated romantic dynamics in your shipper history.

I shall list them!

1. Respect between the two romantic leads for their respective capabilities. They may not like each other or be attracted to each other at first, but they darn well appreciate how hard they work.

2. Snark. Give me some fun dialogue and I'm a happy Seren.

3. Equal footing. I always try to make sure that if one person has one kind of advantage over the other, the other person has another type of advantage. For example - with my Primeval pairing of Jess and Becker - Becker may be a serious badass of a soldier and can take out a man 40 different ways with a teaspoon, Jess can run rings around his computer skills. I like a level playing field amongst the characters.

4. I like tall guys and petite ladies. I can't help it. I'm a rather petite lady and le husband is 6", so there's a thing there.

5. Jenny Crusie once mentioned that in Moonstruck the two leads are utterly wrecked by each other in a fantastic way. I like that. I like the leads to have to throw out all previous preconceptions about love, people and themselves and just have to go with it.

6. They need to learn from each other. They hold each other up and NEVER bring each other down EVER.

7. Oh, heck - THEY HAVE TO LIKE EACH OTHER. There was a post going around tumblr about how some pairings are all 'Oh, we will defeat this evil together because we are MEANT TO BE', but would they enjoy sitting down and watching a bad sci-fi movie together and going grocery shopping? I like my pairings to enjoy grocery shopping together. I fully expect them to bicker over whether or not to get ice cream or cake or pie and end up with all three.

I think that's the lot. :D

Oooh, hey! Meme!

Give me a fandom and I will (attempt to) tell you...

I'm bored! Head kind of hurts and I think I have to get new glasses. On one hand: Yay! I don't really like my current frames, so new, funky ones will be cool! On the other hand: Boo! I'm going to be blind by the time I'm 40. Damn you, Astigmatism! *shakes fist*

But, anyway: MEME!

Name a fandom that I am familiar with and I will tell you:

For the heck of it, here are some couples that have taken over my brain.

( but it makes me kind of nervous to say so )

I like Haven. I like Audrey and Nathan and the PARTNERSHIP. It's got a great setting and yeah, I like it.

It's definitely one of those shows that you shouldn't expect too much from and it will always satisfy you.

Oh, my good God, could today be any more boring? I want to go hoooommmme. And cook dinner. Seriously. That is all I want to do. I want to go and cook a nice spaghetti sauce. With red onions.

But, anyway, look at this picture I found! I seriously think these two were my first 'bad' boy/'good' girl ship. It's because of Molly Ringwald that I have always wanted red hair.



rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling, down, down, down.

Go forth and rec for that pairing you think everyone should try at least once!

I'm doing Lisa Reisert/Jackson Rippner from Red Eye. My most favorite of dirtybadwrong pairings. Most of the fic I'm reccing comes from a while ago, if anyone knows of anything recent, do let me know!

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!

This is not that day. :D

( My two pence about shipping Eleven/Amy )

Have I mentioned how much I love having a show I'm actually excited about watching? 'Cause I am. Oh, I've also started watching Ashes to Ashes. And everyone was right, this show is pretty much awesome, too.

Ship Meme! Borrowed from aj.

This was fantastically fun.

( Oh, no, I always forget to wear deodorant and dance with my boss in a room full of people I work with in a dress with no back. )
