It's 3:30AM and I just woke up with a roach on my chest. After freaking out and jumping out of bed and turning the lights on and trying to determine whether it was real or part of a dream, I managed to flush the (very much real) bedroom invader out and kill it. But let's guess how much I want to get back in that bed right now. D:

Also, did last night's Chuck just intentionally reference the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie? Yes, I think it did. (Still, though, I think I might be breaking up with this show once this season is over -- and House, too. It's so gloomy... there's so much from both shows that I used to really cherish, and quite a bit that I enjoy even now, but. Ehhh. I don't know. Enough of it feels like a chore that I start to wonder why I bother. Well, that's probably more true for House than anything; I was really dragging my feet catching up with the past month of episodes, so I finally watched three of them over the weekend and... yeah... :/ And then I haven't watched the finale yet, but based on the reaction in my flist I pretty much have no desire to. I'm not 100% at that point with Chuck yet -- a lot of it is adorable and charming! But then a lot of it is me shaking my fists at the TV in impotent rage, so... I don't know! And yet I did buy a ton of $5 footlongs last season and now I feel weirdly responsible for it being on TV.)

LALALALA I JUST NEED TO GO BACK TO SLEEP.

I've made this week my unofficial Use Facebook Statuses to Reminisce About Lost Week, and. And. B'AWWWWW. Every time I go on YouTube to pull up clips I basically want to cry. This is giving the end of Harry Potter a run for its money (and remember the ten-gallon jugs of tears that were cried at the end of that, self? And the whole part where I had to make an emergency bathroom run for like twenty tissues at one point because I was literally starting to drown myself in my epic bawling as I lay in bed reading and crying? UUUGGGGHHHH WHY MUST ALL MY FICTION LEAVE ME IN RUIN AND PAIN. Hopefully at least it is satisfying and rewarding ruin, anyway).

Are any of you doing anything for the finale? I need some food ideas (other than 1) stick Dharma labels on a box; or 2) hot pockets; or 3) fried chicken; or 4) I... there was something else really obvious I had already thought of, but now I've already forgotten it.) I'm sure there are going to be some strawberries and fishcuits, but other than that IDK.

BIRTHDAY POST!!!!!

I may have finally reached that age where birthdays are to be dreaded rather than celebrated; but thankfully the internet is an ageless wonder, an anomaly of time and space, and a perfect venue for a "Things That Make Me Happy!" post! AND YOU CAN PLAY ALONG! (Seriously, please do.)

( I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years, nothing's gonna touch you in these golden yeeeeeeeaaaaaars!! )

I'd like to keep this open until I leave on Wednesday, so please! Spam away! Picspams, gifs, fanvids, basically anything in the history of ever that you feel like linking to or flailing over... all expressions of joy and happiness are welcome.

Pick your five favorite TV shows (in no particular order) and answer the following questions.
Don't cheat!

(I HATE NARROWING DOWN FAVORITES. This is too hard. I decided to leave off Merlin and Star Trek because I included them in the last meme I did, but it still hurts. And Psych! I thought of it too late!)

1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
2. Lost
3. Chuck
4. Stargate (I was just going to do Atlantis, but I've been on an SG-1 kick lately so I'll go ahead and smoosh them together)
5. Robin Hood

( The questions... Also, um spoilers for all of the shows listed. )

Regarding tonight's Lost... mostly filler, yeah? UGH JUST BE NEXT WEEK ALREADY! I swear they've been using the same promo clips for the last three weeks; let's get to the juicy stuff and stop being such an effing tease (oh, right, this is Lost I'm talking about :P).

That said, though, there were some things to comment on: ( spoilers for 5.05 This Place is Death )

Mostly, though, in the realm of TVness, I wanted to comment on Farscape! This past week I finally hit a stride in catching up with the show, and I'm a bit over halfway through the first season (I just watched "Rhapsody in Blue" and "The Flax" this morning). SWEET NIBLETS I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOW AND ITS MUPPETY GOODNESS. Zhaan has reawakened my secret desire to be a badass monk; D'Argo simply oozes epic emo manpain; Rygel is actually annoying as hell omggggg, my love of all things on this show has not yet extended to his obnoxious presence, but we'll seen if that changes; JOHN AND AERYN SDLKJF;ASDFJ;LASDFJ;ASF;JASDF PLEASE TELL ME THE SUBSEQUENT SEASONS CONSIST OF NOTHING BUT THE TWO OF THEM MAKING OUT AND BEING GORGEOUS AND CONSTANTLY RIBBING EACH OTHER AND JUST IN GENERAL ROCKING MY WORLD. (Actually, in all seriousness, please do not tell me, because I'm striving to stay unspoiled as much as possible.) Anyway, it's been a while since I had new scifi to flail over (probably not since my EPIC SGA ASSIMILATION last spring), so... FLAAAAAAIL!!

Actually, I have some addition flail-of-nostalgia to do before wrapping up. I spent the weekend fiiiiinally sitting down and watching Buffy with one of my friends who loves the movie but has never seen the show (!! I KNOW! I didn't know such a creature existed). And. HOLY CRAP. HAVE I MENTIONED THAT THIS IS MY FAVOURITE SHOW EVER? 'CAUSE IT IS TOTALLY MY FAVOURITE SHOW EVER. Even recognizing that there are many things I ended up not liking about the show, that there are many cracktastically awful episodes ("I Robot, You Jane" OH GOD WHHHY) -- no television program could ever possibly mean as much to me as this show did, if only because it came at such a tremendously formative period of my life. Honestly, it is impossible to understate the impact of Buffy on my life today (and I wouldn't have it any other way)! Gosh, the Scoobies are all so wee and endearing (and yet probably still older then in high school than I am now in college, hee! Oh, TV casting, how I loves ya). Unpopular fandom opinion ahoy, but mannnn ANGEL. Hello again, love of my prepubescent life! He is so cheesy and occasionally creepy-stalker-y (ahaha, we were laughing at all of the callbacks that Twilight seems to make to this show. Seriously, just rewatch "The Pack" and try not to see the Cullens; one of them even looks like Alice!) and holy excessive wife beaters, Batman! but I love him SO DARN MUCH. Buffy/Angel angst, boy oh boy. Those were the good old days. Mostly, though -- GIIIIIIILES!!!!!!!!!!! He's the biggest reason for the rewatch, actually; Repo! was the hot new thing in our circle for about a week and I was all, yeah, ANTHONY STEWART HEAD HOW ARE YOU FANTASTIC??? -- time to bust out the Buffy DVDs and relive the awesome! Needless to say, he does not disappoint and, if anything, seems to improve upon viewing. Maybe it's just in combination with Repo and Merlin and other recent ASH-as-super-hot-dad, but I seemed extra-fixated on all of the budding protective fatherly impulses that Giles has. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. AND THEY ARE FANTASTIC. I can already tell that I'm probably going to be a total mess once we reach "Helpless," waaaaahhhh! Anyway, we left off at "School Hard" (SPIKESPIKESPIIIIIKE) but are going to pick up again this weekend. I am so so so excited to rewatch the rest of season two, as it is my all-time favourite season of any television show in the history of ever. Lamely, though, I only have the first three seasons... the high school years are obviously my favourites, which is why they're the ones I own, but I am way hankering to rewatch, um, everything.

04. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the post.
05. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

( My questions )

I want to send out big hugs to jume to helping me work out my mood icon problems. Once I get them up, my LJ will be nice and pretty... I went ahead and uploaded new icons and changed the colours today (all things that I meant to do last week, oops).

I was going through some of my stuff last night, and ah! Three cheers for nostalgia! I have all of my yearbooks since the fifth grade, and goodness did they bring back memories... Mostly it just made me think about what pure torture the majority of middle school was (except for seventh grade). I also have all of my old letters, which are fun to read through. katwm80 and I are such dorks. I still haven't put up the James Leary picture she sent me. I don't know where to put it! My room is very cluttered right now, and I might actually have to clean it in order to put it somewhere.

The unbelievable amount of absolute crap going on right now is just... Bleh... ::passes out on keyboard:: I don't really want to think about it. People suck and it is just not cool.

My sister and I were out in the rec room studying for history with the TV on in the background, and for some amazingly odd reason "Clueless" was on (DON'T ask, it isn't a show I watch regularly) but the fact that it is the stupidest show ever is completely compensated for by Danny Strong cameos! Ack! I just looked up in the middle of some of my notes to mock the show and I'm like, "AHH! It's Jonathan! If glomping the television was easy I'd be doing it right now!" He's the cutest thing ever. I love him so much. Oh, and one of the chicks was wearing Buffy's pink lace shirt from "When She Was Bad". It definitely looks better on SMG, though, because it didn't look half as cute as in WSWB and it took me a while to recognize it.

Last night, I had an odd dream. I opened a department store that sold exercise equipment and tablecloths. Next door was an ice cream shop that had bands play every night, and one night they had Crambo playing. Of course, Sean just happened to rejoin the band that night. Oh, and then I discovered that the store basement wasn't really a basement, but a crypt/mausoleum thing. And Spike lived in it.

Ah, if dreams would only come true...
