Stolen from both cerebel and weirdfromafar!

Give me a character from any fandom you know I am into and I will tell you:
a. My favourite thing about that character.
b. My least favourite thing about that character.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.

Can't remember if I did this one before, but it's always fun for another go round! If you aren't sure about my fandoms, just feel free to ask in a comment!

Name a character from one of any of my fandoms and I'll give you:
(a) three facts about them from personal canon/fanon,
(b) a reason he/she sucks,
(c) a reason she/he is awesomecakes,
(d) five things that never happened to that character or
(e) five people that character never loved and why.

Ganked from babel and laurus_nobilis:

Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about him/her from my own personal pseudo-canon


And I promise I'll have those last two character comment replies done. Very soon. But today, the book review, it is done. Ugh - I don't know what it is with my addled little brain, but writing is a complete and utter bitch these days. It's like my head is full of fluff and I can't find a coherent phrase (much less one well-turned) to save my life. And my typos and grammar mistakes!

Forgive my crankiness, but I just needed to vent.

Oh, this web site for the movie is utterly beautiful. The concept of the daemon is so intriguing (and so very Heraclitian!) - if you haven't read The Golden Compass you should add it to your summer reading list!

otterboy, I blame you. :)



If only I could have put a white ensign on the ship instead of the pirate insignia, but it's okay. :)

From laurus_nobilis! Add a lump of coal, world peace, anything you'd like. :)

Yeah, I should be working on my paper, but breaks are good. Besides, this is waaaaay too much fun. Heee!

grace_poppy found a fabulous Web site, Celebmatch. So I decided to see which of my objects of lust celebrity crushes were compatible with me.

Ioan Gruffudd: 85% physical compatability (whooo!), 94% emotional compatability (awwww), 15% intellectual compatibility (huh?) - So, we wouldn't have deep, meaningful conversations, but that's okay1 Total compatability = 65%

David Tennant - 33% physical, 94% emotional, 93% intellectual. I am so a companion! All we'd do is hold hands, but it would be totally cool and geeky. Total compatability =74%

Matthew McFayden - 85% physical, 11% emotional, 89% physical. So, it would kind of be a Darcy-ish dynamic going on, but I could handle that. Total compatability = 62%

Alan Rickman - 85% physical, 78% emotional, 65% intellectual. You think the intellectual compatability would be higher - I can totally bring on the snark! Total compatability = 76%

Ahh, now back to work - maybe.

But it was very cool, nonetheless. :)

A thread on the most recent and utterly insanse Fandon Wank HP post (those people are crazy like no one else) was all about fictional spouses. Being greedy, I snagged the Tenth Doctor and Captain Wentworth. So if you could snag any fictional spouse, or heck, a whole set of them, who would you take and why?

For my own haremspouses, here's my list:

The Tenth Doctor - Life would never be boring and the Dear knows he could use some company. Though ultimately, I don't see him as the marrying type - alas.
Captain Wentworth - He looks good in a peacoat! He's faithful and dashing and patient and..*swoons herself*..and yes, very good potential husband.
Mr. Darcy - If any woman of reasonable intelligence and moderate wit imagines herself as Elizabeth Bennett, then Mr. Darcy is going to be high on your list of ideal partners.
Melrose Plant - He's witty! He's handsome! He would do the crossword with you on a lazy Sunday and be nice abouit finishing way before you.
Any of the men from SG/SGA - Yeah. Nuff said. Because you can't choose one.
