Secret Garden

I'm still upset at being robbed of the chance to watch an all new Supernatural last Friday. So to make myself feel better, I decided to do something fun. Sometimes last week, my google alert notified me this reader's poll result of the "Hottest Prime time TV Hunks List" (of which Jensen scored 6th place, and Jared is in 8th). Ha! This got me thinking that everyone is doing this type of list one way or another, why don't I put up one of my own? Especially when I hardly agree with those lists anyway. I guess this really counts as a meme because it reflects purely my taste over the decade, not swayed by ratings, box office sales, or other people's opinions. Just so it's clear, these are nothing but my own wacky obsessions. Oh, and it extended to both big and small screens.

( Hottest Hunks who rock my boat... )

1. Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands [fannish etc.] that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.
2. Have your f-list guess your favourite character/member from each item.
3. When someone guesses correctly, strike through the item and put the name of your favourite character next to it.

Gakked from xbeyondinsanex here's yet another meme.  This one is delayed by a couple of days because I simply don't have time.

Name your 10 absolutely favorite couples (het/slash/canon/fanon) and ask people to see what trends they notice about your couples. Try to pick different fandoms.

This time, it's helen_c's fault.

According to "The Big Read", the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed.  Well, let's see...

Here's what to do:

• Look at the list and bold those you have read.
• Italicize those you intend to read.
• Underline the books you LOVE.
• Strike out the ones you thought SUCKED.

 

I'm procrastinating.

I really should be posting about my experience in Yosemite, and my thoughts on BSG's fabulous mid-season finale. But I saw this post from o_yannik , and decided to take the test myself.
