Hello, and welcome to my journal! If you are on my flist, or I'm on yours, please do take a minute to answer these questions. This is just so I can keep track of all you lovely people.

( Tell me about yourself! )

Thank you! ♥

For my own reference:

( Shows. )

Trying to catch up with too many shows at one time is a VERY BAD IDEA. *facepalm*

( Icons. )

Just to keep easy track of my stuff, and hopefully, to inspire me to do more!

( Picspams: The Master List )

I'm leaving for home tomorrow night, so there's still time to do this, but I'm convincing myself to do it now, because if I don't, I'll spend all my time on LJ and not pack or do any of the things I'm supposed to do before I leave. So.





Some things:

- My Christmas request post will be open all the way until Christmas, so any time you feel like it, feel free to hop over there and request a song!

- I will most probably not be able to watch any episodes (of any show) that air between now and the end of the year, which sucks, but I'll catch up once I'm back. D:

- I'll try and keep in touch with the flist as much as possible, but forgive me if it doesn't work out that well. As always, link anything you want me to see/read in the comments, and I will! :)

- I'll try and update my Twitter to keep you guys in the loop, but again, I apologize in advance if that doesn't work out as well as planned!

- Happy holidays, flisties! I love you all. ♥

HUGE Merlin spoilers for 2x12, so KEEP AWAY if you don't want to know.

( The rest, follow me! )

ETA: I kept the body of this text mostly spoiler-free too, for those people who see these things in their inbox first and therefore do not have the security of an LJ cut (but I guess if you're picky about spoilers, you shouldn't really do that), but there WILL BE spoilers in the comments. If you don't want to know what all this vague, cryptic talk is about, DON'T LOOK.

Okay, that's it. Sorry for sounding all mean and stern there. ;)

Part 1 is here. :)

( Chloe's Clothing: Dichotic through Fever )

One more to go!

It's been a while since I picspammed a Smallville character's wardrobe and I've been ITCHING to do a picspam for a couple of weeks now, so this is pretty much the result of that. Since the last poll I did indicated that people wanted to see Chloe's S2 wardrobe, I decided to focus on that. Please note that this picspam is a cautionary tale, a lesson in "scroll-down fugly", a "what NOT to wear" catalogue. Unless, of course, you're Allison Mack, and can pull anything off just by looking adorable. Then it's okay.

Continue to Part Two! :)

EEEEP! I thought I had these posted already, and then I checked and I didn't, and now it's TWO DAYS LATE!

FAIL, STARRY, FAIL. D: Forgive me, girls!

Dear timewaslost,

( Our favourite lady wants to say something! )

Dear voldything,

( Your knight in shining armour awaits! )

( Glee 1.10 - Ballad )

( The Vampire Diaries 1.10 - The Turning Point )

( FlashForward 1.09 - I Believe )

( Supernatural 1.10 - Abandon All Hope )

Argh, so many shows going on hiatus at the same time! I'm going to have TV-withdrawal this time ... every show I'm watching has been delivering spectacularly.

This week's Glee was fantastic (and a full recap will be up along with Thursday TV), but before that I just had to say this.

( Tiny spoiler for Glee 1.10  )

Dear cifan70,

I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!

( Someone has been waiting to say something! )

Found this article through homicidalfink and thought it was interesting enough to share, considering this particular topic has been touched upon by almost all the people on my flist who are regularly following Smallville this season:

Why I Still Love Chloe Sullivan, A Smallville Character Analysis.

I like this article for a multitude of reasons: it tries to explain Chloe's behaviour this season without trying to justify her actions as "good" or "right" and it wholeheartedly embraces what we've seen of Chloe this season and runs with it. It's the kind of thinking I'm trying to develop myself, but I guess it takes time to come to terms with something when you don't want to see it happen.

I'm curious to know what you guys think, both about the article and about how Chloe's character has been "developed" this season. I'd also love to know where you think the show is taking her story, as well as where you yourself would like to see it go.

Just something to note: I have Chloe fans on my flist, and I also have SV fans who cannot stand her right now, so there's a wide range of opinions to discuss. All I ask is that people be nice (to me and to each other), and I'm sure we can have a lovely and enlightening discussion. :)

Dear _almostparadise,

( You're 20 today! )

All right! Finally! \o/

Numbering these so it's easier for people who want to comment on individual points. :)

( 9.06 - Crossfire )

( 9.07 - Kandor )

( 9.08 - Idol )

Okay, I'm giving Twitter another shot. I figure when I go home at the end of the month, I might not be able to come online on LJ all that much, but Twitter might be a good way to keep in touch, right?

So, I need all the flisties on Twitter to let me know their usernames, so I can follow them. So far I'm following eeyore1017, tasabian, tariel22, cifan70, amelietw, misty_writes, iliana_1, miss_tress, polytikal, steefvaniersel, jlvsclrk and voldything, but I know there are a lot more of you on Twitter. Let me know, and I'll add you! Oh, and feel free to recommend fun celebrity tweeters too!

Oh, this is me, btw. :)

1) Oh, blessed Saturdays. Happy, carefree, rainy Saturdays. ♥

2) Every time I try to catch up with Smallville, something gets in the way. Argh. Whatever. I'm sorry for not commenting on any of your SV posts, flisties! I'll be back on track at least with the post-hiatus set of episodes, you can count on that!

3) I'm guessing everyone has heard about the Dollhouse cancellation already? *sigh* Another show lost to FOX. (Does anyone know how many episodes we're getting this season, though? 13?) This makes THREE shows that Summer Glau has been in that FOX has cancelled. This is getting ridiculous. Move away from the network, Summer!

4) This Merlin cast picture is sort of making my life right now. *resists making a comment about how couple-y Bradley and Katie look in the picture* <3

5) Quick reviews!

( Melrose Place 1.09 - Ocean )

( FlashForward 1.08 - Playing Cards with Coyote )

( V 1.02 - There Is No Normal Anymore )

Okay, so I was going to do a recap post of like, 6 shows at one shot, but then these three kinda overshot the limit for awesomeness this week, so I'm posting these recaps separately from the other, NORMAL set.

( Glee 1.09 - Wheels )

( The Vampire Diaries 1.09 - History Repeating )

( Supernatural 5.09 - The Real Ghostbusters )

ICON MEME! I can never resist these. I just love my icons, okay? I pick them with such care; they're all my precious babies. *snuggles*

( Lookie! )

( I'm here to help you now. )

I was going to watch "Crossfire" as well, but it's already late and I have to go to work tomorrow, so that will have to wait.
