5 Things about Me, 5 Things about My Fandom Meme

[arabian]

Just wanted to do a little meme for no particular reason.

Ask me five questions about myself (non-fandom) and I'll do my best to answer them as honestly as possible.

Ask me five questions about any of my (or your) fandoms.

When done ... tag or don't tag. It's up to you! :D

Well, I know I just friended you and I don't know much about you, so I hope you don't mind me asking you a few questions.

Personal:
1. What's a typical day in your life like?
2. What do you do for a living?
3. What do you do in your free time? Do you have any hobbies?
4. Have you met anyone in RL that you talk to on LJ or message boards (or did you know them in RL already)?

Fandom:
1. I know you said you no longer watch ATWT, but how and when did you first start watching?
2. What do you think of the new season of The Office thus far (if you've watched it)?
3. In your entry about Christian Clemenson, you mentioned you rented The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. on DVD. What did you think of the show, and what were your favorite episodes?
4. Who has been your favorite contestant (not necessarily a winner) of ANTM? And who do you think is going to win this season (if you've been watching)?

Okay, I know I cheated on some questions by asking more than one thing. Answer whatever you want, if you don't feel comfortable sharing something that's cool. :-)

Hello. If I should know this, I apologize in advance, I'm brain-dead. Why did you friend me? Had I friended you or did you read something of mine somewhere?

Personal:

1. I get up around 8/8:30, have breakfast while I browse, get ready to go to work, am there at 10 (generally a few minutes afterwards) spend all day wrangling 13-15 three-year olds (if there are more than 15 in the class, there are two teachers there). In between, I visit my sister and her kids at lunch. Get home, watch tv, make dinner, browse the internet, play with my cats. Yes, I clearly have no life, LOL!

2. I work in daycare.

3. Read books, watch tv, movies, internet-stuff, make music videos for whatever fandom I'm in if so inclined, graphics, etc. Do family outings every couple of months or so.

4. Yes. My best friend I met online, as well as a few others. I also talk on the phone with quite a few people I've met through fandoms. One of them I currently talk with I consider a truly great friend (waves to hiddeneloise).

Fandom:

1. I first watched it in late 1988, fell totally for Josh (William Fichtner -- STILL AWESOME!!) and Meg. Stopped watching shortly after they left. Watched it on and off throughout the years and then in 2001 a friend kept pushing me to watch because of this awesome romantic, passionate Lily/Simon story. I wasn't looking for a new soap, but then read a hilarious line (from Henry about him not trusting someone who ended their sentence with a proposition) and I decided that any writer who would put that on daytime and EXPECT people to get the joke, well, I had to give it a try.

So I tuned in, watched one week, and that week there was no Lily/Simon, but I figured I'd try one more week. The next week introduced Katie Peretti Frasier. I found I didn't give two squats about Simon and Lily, but fell head over heels for Simon and Katie and within a month or so, I was completely gung-ho over the totally awesome Terri (Conn then, now using her married name) Colombino. Phew.

2. If you mean the pre-writer's strike Office - I think it's great. I'm not AAAAHHHHHHHH! about it like everyone else (and actually prefer Kelly/Ryan and Michael/Jan pairing-wise over Jim/Pam), but I very much enjoy it. If you mean the episode that just aired? I haven't watched it yet. I will this weekend.

3. I liked the show, but didn't love it and despite loving CC and the always-awesome Bruce Campbell, it just didn't gel well enough for me and I knew Kelly Rutherford from her Generations days (short-lived NBC soap) and had never liked her, so that didn't help. So, yeah, I didn't finish watching it. Therefore, I can't really even list a favorite episode. Sorry.

4. Caridee, with Heather a close second. I think, gosh, I don't know who will win this season. I think if she can get her appearance/confidence level up, Lauren should (because her photos are AMAZING), but I think that Anya and Katarzhina (sp?) have a shot too. But I don't know ... maybe Tyra might give it to Whitney so she can have her "plus-size" model winner.

I used to be a member of the Terri Colombino and Other Beautiful Things ezboards (my username was SkyPie8748). I occasionally would read your LJ, but I never made any comments until a few weeks ago when I commented on your Nuke entry from August. I hesitated commenting initially because I didn't know if you only wanted friends commenting or not. I friended you because we have some fandom interests in common and I would like to comment on some of your entries, if you don't mind. If you want to know anything else about me, feel free to ask. I don't want you to think I'm some random internet stalker, lol.

Oh, no that's cool. I always welcome new friends and love reading comments from others.

Cute Trent icon!
