Two memes in one, bam!

Give me a character from any fandom I know at least fairly well, and I will tell you:

A) My OTP
B) The runner up
C) The anti-ship
D) My unpopular fannish opinion on said character
E) One person he/she never fell in love with, and why

and also

Reply to this post, and I'll tell you one reason why I like you. Then re-post this and spread the love.

Bwahaha, somebody has finally made a spock_chapel comm. AWESOME. Now, quick, somebody cast Anne Dudek as Chapel in the next Abrams film.

Meme! That I have in fact done before! But, well, hulamoth gave me new prompts, and who am I to resist?

Comment to this entry and I'll pick three of your fandoms. You must then update your journal and answer the following questions:

( Robin Hood, Terry Pratchett, Horatio Hornblower )

Life. Don't talk to me about life!

To cheer myself up, I'll put myself forward for participation in that "five things" meme that is going around. So! Top Five Fannish Things! You know you're curious, so go ahead and ask. (If you're not sure of all my fandoms, because I do cycle through quite a lot, you can cheat and check my tags/userinfo, or feel free to just throw out random stuff because chances are I have at least some thoughts on it, or if I don't I am more than willing to make something up.)

Meme!

teh_maskmaid chose for me to post about Star Trek, Psych, and Merlin.

( Fandom thoughts contained within! )

Meme nicked from eryslash:

1. Pick 15 of your favorite tv shows.
2. Go to IMDB, and find a quote from each show.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the show
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDB search functions.

(Actually, I think I'm changing the rules. Instead of striking, I'll just put the correct answer next to it and white it out in case you still want to play along with ones that have already been guessed. ETA: And I went ahead and included all of the answers which hadn't already been guessed -- still whited out.)

( The quotes )

Meme that I got from dollsome like a million years ago and has just been sitting in my drafts waiting to be posted: ten things I love! Today's programming brought to you by the letter R (and please comment if you'd like a letter of your own).

( Cut for pictures and YouTube vids of a biggish nature )

...Okay, I think I've discovered why it takes so long for me to finish any memes, because a simple, "Make a list of ten things!" turned into a 1000+ word ramble. Of course!

From dollsome

01. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
02. I will respond by asking you five questions of a very intimate and creepily personal nature. Or not so creepy/personal.
03. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
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 )

Meme from foolshavepride:

[01] — Look up TEN of your favorite movies on IMDB.
[02] — Click the "trivia" link in the sidebar.
[03] — Post a fun and random bit of trivia from each film.

( Who would call these delicious tidbits of information 'trivial'? )

Wow, I actually learned some new stuff from this meme (namely that I waste too much time online -- but wait, I already knew that one!).

I got one response to the photomeme from laughingmagpie, so I took a few pictures of my ( DVD shelf. )

As long as I had the camera out, I walked around outside for a bit and took some more pictures. I've shared the wild and crazy side of my yard before, so to be fair I've balanced it out with the ( more picturesque portions. )

McCoy: Spock, I've always suspected that you were a little more human than you let on. Mrs. Sarek, I know about the rigorous training of the Vulcan youth, but tell me, did he ever run and play like the human children, even in secret?
Amanda: Well, he, he did have a pet sehlat he was very fond of.
McCoy: Sehlat?
Amanda: It's sort of a fat teddy bear.
McCoy: A teddy bear?
Sarek: Excuse me, Doctor. It has been a rather long day for my wife. Captain.
Kirk: Ambassador.
(Sarek leads Amanda away.)
McCoy: A teddy bear.
Spock: Not precisely, Doctor. On Vulcan, the teddy bears are alive, and they have six-inch fangs.

I know I'm about forty years behind the power curve, but this show just makes me happy in my heart. Yay.

Oh, and the conclusion of the movie meme:

1: Pickpocket/Rigged Casino/Secret Marriage/Airport Casablanca, guessed by stellypippin
2: Costume Party/Rose/Perfume Shop/Painter An American in Paris, guessed by stellypippin
3: Dumb Blonde/Library/Fall From Height/Spell Beauty and the Beast, guessed by ridiculii
4: Eating Brains/Chandelier/Blackmail/Old Dark House - Clue
5: Wedding Ring/Railway Station/Prostitution/Fire - Gone With The Wind
6: Wedding Gift/Library/Hangover/Reporter - The Philadelphia Story
7: Statue of Liberty/Rollerskating/Poker/Jewish - Funny Girl
8: Lawyer/Impersonation/Based On Novel/Number in Title - A Tale of Two Cities (with Ronald Colman, of course, but for guessing purposes I don't suppose that really mattered)
9: Rich Snob/Music Store/High School Pretty in Pink, guessed by ridiculii
10: Secret Admirer/Title Spoken By Character/Mirror Phantom of the Opera, guessed by crumpeteer

So it's a tie between stellypippin and ridiculii, but everybody is a winner in my heart (group hug!).
