i haven't gotten in the fray before now, but COME ON! i know Dean vs Ten is cruel, but you must choose Dean one!! so go vote!! unless you're going to vote for Ten.

my link for the Secret Santa Love Meme.

p.s. if you've posted yours, leave me a comment with the link because eye=suck and have seen several of you post it, but didn't have time to leave a comment then.

i was having fun with archive.org and looking up places i used to post and whatnot and i found some things that i felt like sharing.

for the TSSers. look at that! back when i still read spoilers and posted about them. the Magic Box! oh man, we had some fun. does anybody remember officially what year Gina closed the place down? i know batman made a replacement board for us, but it was never quite the same. oh and does anybody still have contact with MG? when we migrated to lj, he never did follow that i know of.

for the ck.netters/Kanies. i actually found an archive here and there of the message board, but there wasn't really anything all that interesting. i was really hoping i'd come across some of Rachel's insane ramblings because that stuff was classic!! i was trying to remember the ezboard address of the old cheese board, but couldn't and therefore couldn't see if any of the robots had picked up stuff before the great ezboard crash that lost all of our awesomeness. (run-on sentence much?) so if anyone remembers, let me know or just go to archive.org and see if any of the old posts are there. stuff from the Fight Club, for instance. there was some comedy gold in there that is probably lost forever.

for the Bronzers. man, i miss the way the board looked back then. plus, scroll down on that second link. ha!

for the Baters/Bronzers. this was my archive site that i've since taken down. the last day of the Bronze is there, my first day posting, remembering September 11 in 2002 and PBP in 2002. oh and there's also this and this, which document the Penlind debacle. scrolling through those boards was so much fun. there were so many of us posting back then. now it's, like, 5 or 6 regular posters and most of them i don't even like! *shakes head* how times have changed.

okay. thus endeth my walk. now it's time for chinese food.

i finished The Host this afternoon. yes, i'm behind. i wanted to wait and see what a few of you said about if before i delved into it. i actually really liked it. i know some people compared it to Twilight because of the love triangle, but nothing in it reminded me of any of the Twilight characters.

( i'll cut the rest of this. )

all in all, i'd say if you enjoyed any of the Twilight trilogy you'd enjoy this one. just give it more than the first couple of chapters.

so...who wants to discuss Skins with me? or how about how awesome it is that Brian Austin Green has been made a series regular on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. or maybe how excited this video makes you. or maybe just general squeeing over how awesome DCook is and if he's going to knock it out of the park again tomorrow night.

i'm not picky, i'm just feeling a need to be fandom-y.

i have to be honest. i'm getting entirely too excited about the Twilight movie after seeing all the pictures people are posting from the location shoots. most especially these. R Pattz is definitely looking more like Edward to me and i never had a problem with Kristen Stewart as Bella. (though i will still admit to being worried about the Jacob casting.) bring it on, Summit Entertainment!

i also have to be honest that i'm really digging Lost again this season. maybe it's because the producers finally have an endgame, i'm not sure. i feel like they know where they're going and they're enjoying messing with my head and for the first time since the first season i'm completely okay with it. plus, it's good to see Harold Perrinau again. he won my heart at the first D:LA. bring it on, Bad Robot!

i'm also completely in love with America's Best Dance Crew. if you're not watching, let me give you some reasons to.

can you tell my favorite episode to date is the Michael Jackson tribute night? tonight's episode was great too though. if i could find a video of it and that headspin i would add it right now. this show is different than SYTYCD in that the contestants are coming up with their own routines. there are some SYTYCD ties though. remember Jamal? Shane Sparks is also one of the judges. i ♥ him.

next week is the finale. so if you can catch up via youtube or some other source, i highly recommend it. there's some pretty phenomenal dancers.

you know, as crazy as fandom can get, i still love it. even if i'm not as involved as i once was. it's brought me so many good things in my life and i wouldn't trade any of them. hell...some of the worst flame wars i was involved in at the beta are some of my favorite memories because it made me bond with so many of you.

with crazy fandom comes melodrama. being defriended doesn't bother me. in fact, it either amuses me either because i'd been procrastinating on defriending the other person or i'm just apathetic about it. so ummm...if you've been wanting to get rid of me, now's your chance! every day is defriend tiggz amnesty day!

i never apologize for my opinions. i shouldn't have to because they are opinions. people who do puzzle me. seriously. especially when they post what could be construed as offensive crap and then say "sorry if anyone's offended. that's just my opinion." here's a thought, find a way to state your opinion without being an inconsiderate jackhole and then you don't have to apologize for it. *shrug* to each their own.

*prepares for mass defriending*

i'm bored out of my ever-lovin' mind. who wants to play a rousing game of "corrupt a wish" with me? never heard of it, you say? here's how to play!

one person makes a wish, say, "i wish i could join the Heroes cast with a kickass power!" the next person grants and corrupts the wish, like, "granted! but Sylar finds you before Peter can have his way with you and eats your brains." the granter then posts the next wish.

i'll start. i wish for Dean and Sam Winchester to blow into my town so i can give Dean something to live for. heh.

i know you're probably all dying to know, but i've finished Eclipse. i. love. these. books!!! i want to do an instant reread, but i let my sister borrow Twilight.

( i do not hate Jacob Black. )

so now a couple of requests. everyone who's posted about these books, please link me to your posts. i didn't read them before and now i want to know what all of you thought!

also, i've seen icons of people fandom has "cast" as Edward and Bella. where did this originate and why? i definitely don't disagree with Emily Browning as Bella, but i don't really know who i see as Edward.

lastly, where is the most sane part of Twilight fandom on lj?

oh! one more thing. when is the new book coming out? i wanna know what haaaaaaaaaaaappenssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!

have not scrolled the flist in a few hours. it will have to wait until the morning.

i just wanted to say that even after my tumultuous relationship with Veronica Mars this past season, that was two fantastic episodes and probably the first time i've ever truly been satisfied with a season finale that this show has done. well done, show. well done.

it really hit me when RT's name came up after the episode. there will be no more new Veronica Mars ever again. i honestly can't believe how much it's affecting me. damn you, CW! damn you RT for not making this season as good as those two final episodes! damn fandom for turning on each other!

gah. i need to go to bed.

since i have quite a few new people on my flist, i thought it was time to do a poll. these are the shows that i am the most involved with/am currently involved with. this isn't even a comprehensive list of what shows i'm watching this year. yes, i watch a lot of tv.

sidenote: does anyone know when Traveler is going to premiere? abc's website just says "coming soon" and tv.com says the 13 ep order has already been cut down to 8. i really hope this isn't one of those pilots that never sees the light of day because i think it could be really interesting.

[Poll #905886]

KB? STFU, please! the following is a reply i just made in this post at veronica_mars.

i personally don't see it as duncan hate. i see it as Kristen is talking to every reporter as if she's an authority on the show when the truth is she admitted she doesn't even watch it. she only has a grasp of the scenes she films and those are so random and out of order, i'm not surprised she doesn't have a grasp on what happened in seasons one and two.

in my opinion logan is better than duncan. sure, he was an ass to her in season one after she chose her father over her friends. however, he also changed his opinion after she helped him find the truth out about his mother. then the kiss. then the private relationship. then everyone finds out and he tells his friends if they have a problem with her, they're dead to him. season two he was an ass because the girl had broken his heart. i've met plenty of guys like that.

duncan on the other hand broke up with her without telling her why. proceeded to pretend as if she didn't exist until he saw troy and logan show interest in her. he slept with her while he still believed her to be his sister and made her think she'd been raped for over a year. we won't even discuss how he let logan and everyone else treat her during that year. his specialty, after all, is standing idly by.

yeah...duncan's a stellar example of the perfect boyfriend. *dreamy sigh* </sarcasm>

i actually didn't have a problem with duncan until RT decided to retcon all the crap he did in season one and force him down our throats as v's twu wuv. i thought he had a lot of potential. they threw that away with 2x01 though.



why is this so hard to understand? seriously. fandom is fucking nuts.

i'm not going to mention how much i love the VM fandom because really, it goes without saying. you guys are made of so much awesome it's not even funny.

the real reason i'm posting is to give those interested the setlist from the Common Ro show on friday night. i also have a couple of goodies that i'll put at the end of the post. i've been trying to wait on the guys to upload a song from that night to their myspace account, but they're slacking. (touring is hard. yeah...whatever. *g*)

5/26/06 - Nashville Common Ro setlist

i really don't think they played all of these, but since they were all new songs, i have no idea which ones were played and which ones weren't. this album definitely sounds like it's going to be more folk-y than The Big Fear. i liked everything i heard though.

( goodies are back here... )

i'm finally rewatching Not Pictured. i had to watch the first five episodes from this season of The Office before i could jump in.

so here goes. ( i'm sure most of my flist has seen the ep by now, but do not click if you haven't seen the season two finale! )

for those avoiding negative posts about the ep, this isn't one of them. i loved it. very much so.

wow. did someone piss in the VM fandom's wheaties this morning? everyone's so uptight about their opinions today. say it with me, people. "everyone has a right to express their opinion whether it be negative or positive. as long as they're respectful towards others." people who aren't? mostly deserved to be ignored because, as we would say in the bronze world, they are bezoars. also known as trolls. just looking for any kind of attention they can get. there's also bandwagon jumpers who see what the consensus seems to be saying and just rolls with it.

for the record, i was "meh" on Duncan. there was a lot of potential there, but it was never tapped. that being said, i loved Donut Run. so there you go.




when did i become the mellow one?
