Friends Only!

So I've been meaning to do this for awhile, but it's finally time. No, not hammer time. Friends only time.

Currently: Not Adding

With a new job, a crazy-long commute, yoga classes, new fall teevee and an already pretty long flist I'm starting to feel like I can't keep up with everyone I already have on my flist. I'll probably open up friending again soon in the future, but for now I'm not sure I'd be a very good new friend. :(

HEYYYYY!! So guess who is going to LA tomorrow bright and early in the morning? ME! I'm going with some friends to visit our friend Amy that just moved out in Janurary. I'm very excited because it's been disgusting and cold and gross here. Even if it's not totally warm over there at least the odds seem to to be against getting snowed on. Hopefully?



The only thing I'm bummed about is a.) missing Gossip Girl and my recap commenting Tuesday tradition and b.) FANDOM MARCH MADNESS. UGH. Last year, ngl, Fandom March Madness was pretty much what I DID at work in March. I don't know how I should feel about that. I still remember the gchat conversations with pinkspots talking about my bracket and all the ~fandom politics~. I think I got like 6th or something for my bracket? I was very proud of this useless accomplishment, I remember that. Hopefully brackets won't all be done by the time I get back on next Sunday morning.

I'm stoked I've actually never been to California before. Anyway! Due to iPhone having I will be able to check LJ and maybe even answer back but I will probably be mostly busy going places and doing things and DAY DRINKINGGGGG! (Imagine that in an Oprah voice!)

So let me know if I miss anything and leave me tons of comments here as I probs won't have time to pop all over the place.

SEE YOU GUYS SOON!

So I was originally writing up a post about going to see Allison Mack in Apple Cover over the weekend but then I got side tracked by real life stress today and now I'm catching up on the Chloe fan kerfuffle and laughing and shaking my head. So this post will be about that instead with my Apple Cove stuff to come tomorrow. (I KNOW GUYS MARK YOUR CALENDAR. lol no one cares)

As funny as I find most of this (and it's pretty funny) it also bums me out. Especially after my lovely experience with everyone at Apple Cove. We weren't all one type of Chloe fan and we managed to eat Greek food and unsucessfully try to hail cabs and not murder each other. OMG it's not even a good TV show. We're not fighting over Shakespeare here guys. This is a show that can count among it's plotlines FAKE BABY and UNDERGROUND RAILROAD.

The thing that I always really liked about my/our corner of the fandom is how we stuck together. We sort of felt like the underdogs, just like Chloe herself. In my time in SV fandom, I've seen people ship all kinds of Chloe pairings. Chlex. Chlark. Chlionel (Ok that's mostly just me). Chlollie. Chavis. Chlois although that is more a theory than a ship but let's just go with this.

The cool thing about being a Chloe fan always used to be that we were all pretty chill with multi-shipping. Let's not ruin the one good thing we got out of this show. BE COOL BBS.

I think a good rule of thumb is to just not be an asshole. Not that hard.

You don't like such and such pairing or such and such thing? Coolio. No one cares. You love such and such pairing? Awesome! I still don't care but I hope it brings you joy. Let's not be so invested in the opinions of others. I know the "SOMEONE IS WRONG ON THE INTERNET" urge can get so strong sometimes but at those times ask yourself "Am I being a douche?" If the answer is yes (and you will know when it is) then just take a deep breath and realize that contrary to what facebook/twitter/blog culture tells us, we don't ACTUALLY need to post every thought we have. Sometimes censoring is just being polite.

The show is almost over and I can guarantee, because I have been following (if not watching the last two years) this terrible mess so long that not everyone will be happy how it ends. Probably no one will. I'm personally holding out for rocks fall, everyone dies. So instead of making even the fandom for this shitty show shitty can we just BE COOL? Please? I just want to be like that chick in Mean Girls and bake a cake full of rainbows and get the world to sing in perfect harmony.

Dammit Smallville fandom, this is why we can't have nice things.

ETA: Decided to unlock the post because I stand by my "please let's not be douches" public service announcement.

So it's Christmas Eve everyone. Time to get together in front of the fire/yule log/teevee and drink hot chocolate/eggnog/seasonal-beverage-of-your-choice and spend time with the ones you love.


I hope everyone has a great Christmas this year! I know I've been a bad friend recently but you guys make fandom and the internet a great place to be, despite the rampant crazy. I know I can always count on my flisters to post things that are awesome and to make me smile. I hope you guys know how great you are and have an equally great holiday! I <3 you all!



MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

So I actually missed watching the premiere of Gossip Girl live because I was crashing a show at Fashion Week, which I felt was probably the only acceptable reason to miss my favorite flossy darlings.

I was planning on just posting up a short entry with some thoughts and maybe one graphic of Blair and Serena prancing through Paris. But then, as it turned out, the whole episode was so pretty I found it sort of impossible not to picspam. My lack of self control, let me show you it.

So I've had at least half of this mix sitting on my computer for like...six months? A year? (My fanmix process takes FOREVER, it is quite sad. At this rate I will post my Serena/Blair and Chuck fanmixes like ten years after the show goes off.) But I'm actually glad I waited or else it wouldn't have included the awesome She & Him song that's the title. Seriously though, no more perfect Blair/Chuck song exists I'm pretty sure.

Also this is a super belated bday present for the lovely topazera. Thanks for being awesome and thanks for giving me a reason to get off my ass and finally post this. Hope you enjoy!

So I really liked the Gossip Girl finale? WTF not expecting that. Maybe it was because I was already spoiled for a lot of it? But they got me with all the drama and the previous season call backs and the pilot references. I'M EASY OK?

I might do a finale picspam soon with all the comparisons to other seasons/the pilot. Also I realize this post is completely ridiculous. Sometimes I think lots of thoughts about Gossip Girl! I can't help it!

XOXO

So I put these caps together last week but was too lazy to put together the picspam until today. But we all know how happy I am to have the flossy insanity of XOXO back in my life so therefore I give you:

VOTE CHLOE SULLIVAN FOR SMALLVILLE

GUYS! GUYS! Seriously GUYS! You know how I said last night that if you didn't vote for Chloe I didn't know you? WELL I'M SERIOUS YOU GUYS. She's loosing to Lois. LOIS! This cannot happen. If this happens I will burn down fandom.

IF YOU LOVE ME AT ALL YOU WILL VOTE FOR CHLOE! I don't care if you don't even know who she is bbs. DO IT FOR ME. I know I have plenty of Gossip Girl fan bbs on my flist who have the good taste not to watch Smallville. Do me a solid and vote for Chloe! I will post some icons I have lying around on my computer! I WILL BRIBE YOU GUYS, COME ON!

So that thing happens to me that always happens when a new season of LOST comes on. Which is that I become reobsessed with the show, even though I haven't really thought about it in months. When this reobession compounded with an Amazon DVD sale...basically it was bad. I ended up buying seasons 3 and 5 and watching a whole bunch of Juliet episodes and deciding I really need to waste my life picspamming. BUT DVD QUALITY CAPS YOU GUYS!
