Dear CW,


    Fans abbreviate shows they love for a few reasons. One could be that they talk about the show so much that an abbreviation becomes easier to use. Another is because it makes the show feel more personal. Popular abbreviations for me include Spn, GG, DW, BtVS, FF, and many more.
   I see that you have a new show about models. First of all, I watched it and it really isn't that great. Secondly, it REALLY bothers me that you named it The Beautiful Life: TBL. It seems like you're trying too hard to make it popular. Also, calling it The Beautiful Life: TBL is reduntant and makes you look stupid because you are basically calling it The Beautiful Life: The Beautiful Life. So yeah. Maybe you should rethink that.

Sincerely,

Me.

Woot! I've been playing in some LJ Challenge communities! They are super-fun!



[info]whedonland is , of course, all thing Joss! Team Buffy, Angel, Firefly, and Dollhouse!

[info]bonesland is for all things Bones! Team Booth, Brennan, Squints, and Interns!

[info]jjverse is all about JJ Abrams. LOST, ALIAS, Fringe, and Star Trek.

[info]spnland is for Supernatural fans. Teams are Dean, Sam, Castiel, and Lucifer.

[info]wholand is a newer community. Teams are TARDIS, Torchwood, UNIT, and Dalek! I am super-excited for this one!

These have been so much fun! They are a bit time consuming, though. Good thing I have no social life!! Join me if you want!

ETA: I forgot one! [info]twelvecolonies is BSG!!

So, I finished all 4 seasons of BSG in 2 weeks while working full time. I seriously couldn't stop watching. And then I got to the end. Not so sure I liked the way it went out because of 1 or 2 things.

The last half of season 4 pretty much made me cry nonstop though.

I saw Star Trek again today.

I could stare at Chris Pine forever.

His eyes = hypnotizing.

Is it legal for eyes to be that color?

I submit that it is not fair.

WooBoyHowdy, that definately made me feel a little bit happier today. Captain Kirk, FTW!! (probably just because I like flirting...)

I have never seen either of these (except for the new Star Trek movie) but some people are saying that I should have seen them. So, I'm going to find them and watch. Unfortunately, I can only watch one at a time. So, which should it be? And yes, I know that these are no longer on tv.

My coworkers have discovered the extent of my geekiness. They asked me what I was up to this weekend and before I thought about it I was telling them about all my movie plans to see Star Trek and Terminator. I told them that most of the tv shows I watch like LOST and Fringe and Supernatural and The Sarah Conner Chronicles and Dollhouse had their season/series finales.

I stopped talking when the silence became too weird. They were looking at me like I had sprouted horns. Then one commented that she wasn't aware of just how geeky I was. I probably should have kept my mouth shut and just said "Not much" like I normally say.

Sometimes I wish that my geeky friends lived around here.

I should probably also mention that it's doubtful anyone would have to stay in a hotel unless they wanted to. I have plenty of family and we take care of our guests! Of course, it's not the Ren, but it'd be free! And also there's the possiblility of having it a few weeks before my birthday as some have mentioned that my birthday is too close to DragonCon.

I can't find my motivation.

Really.

I keep telling myself that I'm going to the gym today, but so far it doesn't look like I'm gonna make it.

Help!

How is it that people can be "April Fooled" by such idiotic things. Really? There are people out there who really believe that Robert Pattinson is pulling out of New Moon? Please. And there is really a system that will send out an automated e-mail reply that is exactly like the one you would send youself, thus saving you from actually reading or typing? Give me a break.

Read your frakking calendars before flaunting your stupidity and gullibility. Stop starting every comment with "OHNOEZ, RPATTZ iz 2b leeving NM & i am made of bRoKeN hEaRt  - plz no!"

The plan was to have it completed and recorded. The reality is that it needs a bit of editing and I couldn't figure out how to record it. But since I don't have time, I'll just post it now. Hope you like it! Thank-you to everyone who helped out by sending me lists of things you remembered and loved from LOST Weekends and D:LAs. *hugs* and I hope to see you all soon!
