1. Tell us something about yourself: I'm transitioning life/careerwise, though transitioning into what, I'm not sure I hate being a work-in-progress. I believe in possibility, but I know I live in a world that's all about "gimmeNOW." I've lived on two coasts, and I'm contemplating shifting coasts again.
2. Likes (characters, ships, genres, TV shows, actors, real life stuff): Not a fan of ships, not in the slightest. That said, I enjoy Clex and will occasionally read Lexana or Chlark if it's not ridiculously written. I'd say I'm lacking the schmoop gene, but I read schmoop and sometimes even like it. Maybe it's a bad schmoop allergy?
Enjoy action, good dialog, and sci-fi light. Watch Smallville, Dr. Who, SGA (because OMG! Teyla and Sheppard and Ronon! *fans self) and actually have all 7 seasons of Buffy on DVD1, The first 3 Seasons of Alias, Firefly (Genius!)/Serenity, and SV Seasons 1-3 (will buy 5 but NOT 4 shudders*).
Tom Welling (aka The Mountain) pwns my ass. Clark? Not so much. We're working through a difficult patch. Still can say I don't like working out, but I'm trying to like it. Also, appreciate good sauvignon blanc and pinot noir.
3. Dislikes (characters, ships, genres, TV shows, actors, real life stuff): Lana used to annoy me, but now I get that she's simply a mirror: she reflects whatever the male character of the moment wants to see. I mean, she wore a lot a pink with Clark, and now, she's about purple/lavendar. That's just the visual stuff. Luckily, since Lex's more interesting, the characters become more interesting. If only someone can help KK with the kissing skillz.
I came to despise shipping thanks to fandom. Romance is nice, peeps, but hot dayum. Not the be all and end all, you know?
4. What got you interested in Smallville? Cultural timing and reinvention of the myth. Then, I fell in love with TW and MR and AOT and JS... 5. What are your favorite SV episodes? Pilot, Rogue (still the gold standard for me), Leech, Heat, Red, Exile, Shattered, Asylum, Transference, Mortal, Cyborg, Mortal, Splintered, Oracle, Vessel 6. What SV fanfic do you reread most often? N/A Not a lot of time these days. Sadly. 7. Random facts (favorite food, color you wouldn't be caught dead wearing, pets' names, number of pairs of shoes you own, where you would live if you were a billionaire, etc. Used to be I owned two or three pairs of shoes. Now, I own less than 40, but still wear two or three. Yeah, I think I may've stumbled onto something. *g* I look divine in burgundy and purple and kelly green, but can't find them often. There aren't too many colors I won't wear - I just don't like the colors the fashion people decree each season. I want options, dammit! *g*
1I'm picky about what shows I buy on DVD because I want to own stuff, I don't want stuff to own me.
*stumbles in* Paaarrrtaaaay - and Rambling
