Date: 2006-08-11 07:40 pm (UTC)What is your CURRENT favorite:
+ animal
Currenty? Bumble bees! (I know, not really an animal, more like insect but still, nice and summer-y and so darn cute!) Cats are nice too. :)
+ drink
Ice tea! Home made, perferably by my aunt, she makes the best ice tea.
+ TV show
I'm curently re-watching "My So-Called Life" after ten years. I'm in love. Young Jared Leto *drool*
+ dessert
Um. Ice cream? Always ice cream. Chocolate flavor.
+ music to dance to
Salsa. Don't even know how to dance salsa, but I just spent a couple of weeks in South America. Everybody loves salsa after that. :)
Spending Time
+ Name a book you've read over and over. Tell me why it's so ripe for re-reading (if you want).
I'd have to be boring and say either Harry Potter, or The Lord of the Rings. I'm boring aren't I? But still, very good books.
+ Same goes for movie...
Oh, this is hard. I want to say Donnie Darko or the Matrix, but I'll have to go with Terminator 2, of the simple reason that I'm sure it's the movie I've seen most times. I watched it the first time when I was eight (at my friend's house, without my parent's permission, bad me :P) and I don't know why, but me and my friend ended up watching that movie a zillion times over the years. Might have had something to do with her having a crush on the boy :P Anyway, now I can watch it and just love it because I loved it then.
+ If i visited where you live (or your favorite place) what's an off-the-beaten-path site to visit or thing to do that you'd recommend?
Um.. that's hard. I live in Stockholm, Sweden. Place to go... I'd say either "Djurgården" or "Långholmen" both very nice islands in the centre of Stockholm, close to the water with beautiful nature. Perfect for a picnic and a late night swim.
+ What's your favorite fandom (or if you're into btvs, pairing), if any? If you were going to pimp it, what would you reccommend? (links are appreciated)
I have to say BTVS, because in my experience it's so friendly, also, it has like *everything*. I ship Spuffy, on rare occasions other pairings.
+ Tell me about your favorite restaurant, or the best meal you ever had.
Another hard one. My fav restaurant is actually a café, but I eat there a lot, they have the best grilled sandwishes. The place ois called "Blå Lotus" if you ever come to Stockholm. :)
Random & Fandom Fill in the Blanks
+ For a story/show/film to grab my attention, it has to have a character who is human. And I don't mean human like *human* (hey, biggest fan of vamp!Spike here) but human as having human emotions, I have to feel that the chacter is *real*
+ I never thought I liked PWP until I read fics by nautibitz.
+ I'll read almost any pairing/fandom/type of writing, so long as it has good characterization.
+ My favorite type of graphic or vid always features an emotion or feeling of some sort. I need to feel that the artist had something he wanted to convey when he made the art.
+ Once you get to know me, you'll never remember how you lived without my... eh... me?
+ I found your lj through... fic_banners? I saw your posts there, but you were so awesome and judged for my award site so I had to friend you :)
+ I've been on lj since March 2006, (yes I'm a newbie) and got an a lj because I wanted to get to know other people in fandom.
Was that ok?

Date: 2006-08-17 02:49 am (UTC)- Bumble Bees are fabulous! Well, at least, I like the stuffed kind, and the kind in pictures, and things like that. Real bumble bees are cute, but they often think I am sweet and I feel a little bit wary of them!
- MMM. Ice tea sounds great right now! I love a good iced tea!
- My So Called Life! Claire Daines!! So much yum there! Why did they cancel all of that pretty?
- Ok, chocolate flavor anything - so I agree with you on the ice cream too.
- You were in South America? For fun? Or work? Although I agree with you - I don't know how to dance salsa either, but the times I've seen it danced I've always wanted to join in!
There's nothing boring about HP or LOTR! Or at least, I don't think so. I re-read LOTR every couple of years just to keep my hand in. And they are, indeed, very good books.
We may have to agree to disagree on Terminator 2 - but it's good to know. Hee. I do the same thing with Princess Bride, with the loving it now because I loved it then.
Now, as for place to visit, OK! But... will you give me a pronounciation guide for them? They sound georgeous.
I agree with you *completely* about BTVS! Well, ok, except (and don't hate me) I don't often read Spuffy. However, I do adore
Cafes!!! That sounds absolutely fabulous. And who knows? Perhaps someday I will go to Stockholm and will entreat you for directions.
+ For a story/show/film to grab my attention, it has to have a character who is human. And I don't mean human like *human* (hey, biggest fan of vamp!Spike here) but human as having human emotions, I have to feel that the chacter is *real*
Good criteria! I completely get what you mean, though - they have to have some kind of emotional response so you can get into the character.
+ I never thought I liked PWP until I read fics by nautibitz. HMM. I will have to go look up nautibitz's stuff! I adore pwp. I am a total fiend.
+ I'll read almost any pairing/fandom/type of writing, so long as it has good characterization.
Indeed!
+ My favorite type of graphic or vid always features an emotion or feeling of some sort. I need to feel that the artist had something he wanted to convey when he made the art.
Love it!
+ Once you get to know me, you'll never remember how you lived without my... eh... me?
If it's any consolation, I had trouble with that one too. Don't worry, i'm sure we'll find things we mutually adore about eachother anyway.
+ I found your lj through... fic_banners? I saw your posts there, but you were so awesome and judged for my award site so I had to friend you :)
How could I not friend back! Not only do you make beautiful banners, you host the most kick ass award site out there (me? biased? NAH!)
+ I've been on lj since March 2006, (yes I'm a newbie) and got an a lj because I wanted to get to know other people in fandom.
Same for me (although i think it was 2005 when elizabuffy finally managed to drag me onto LJ.

You saw it to! *squeal* That series owned me when I was ten. Really, I lived by it.
"You were in South America? For fun? Or work?"
Actually I went there to visit my sister, she was working in Ecuador for nine months (she's back now). I was there for two weeks, only me and big sis. It was great. (and I have the longest travel diary ever if you're interested in details, here (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=nemo_88&keyword=My+trip+to+Ecuador&filter=all))
"Now, as for place to visit, OK! But... will you give me a pronounciation guide for them? They sound georgeous."
*lol* Swedish names with Swedish letters, what to do? I said "Djurgården" and "Långholmen" right? You don't pronounce the "d" in Djurgården, I don't think I can give you more advise. I can't describe "å", you'll have to hear it.
"Well, ok, except (and don't hate me) I don't often read Spuffy."
Don't hate you, promise! *lol* I knew you weren't a spuffy shipper, I don't mind that, some of my friends are, some are not. We're in the same fandom and you make wonderful art, that's enough for me. :)
HMM. I will have to go look up nautibitz's stuff! I adore pwp. I am a total fiend."
You haven't read nautibitz? I thought everybody had by now... She's not writing anymore as far as I know, but you can find her fic here (http://www.nautibitz.com/main.html), they're mostly spuffy, but there are some with Faith too.
