Stolen from many people.

Sum up your former/current fandoms in a few sentences, as if they were human beings. Then let others guess "who" you're writing to.

1) You were my first relationship, well, the first "serious" one. In the beginning, I was only curious about you, but the more I found out, the deeper I fell in love. And what a love it was: I thought about you all day, talked about you, tried everything one could think of with you. I couldn't imagine ever loving anyone else. That was then, and times have changed. We don't see each other anymore, I can honestly say that I'm over you. But sometimes, out of the blue, I am reminded of you, and in these moments I can still feel traces of our love.
= Buffy, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] lunardreamed and [livejournal.com profile] webbgirl
Yes, I've only been in fandom five years (though I've been a fan longer), and it was Buffy who introduced me to fanfic, slash and fandom.

2) You were my shiny new love, you were MADE for me and I was crazy about you from the very first moment I laid eyes on you. Then they took you from me, sudden and much too soon. My wounds are fresh, and losing you still makes me cry.
= Smith, as guessed by [livejournal.com profile] ana_grrl.
I never knew it was possible to fall so hard so fast, and get your heart broken in almost the same moment.

3) I love you, I am in love with you. You have some strange ideas, and at the beginning, because of my past experiences, I didn't fully trust you. But even when you did things that I would have left anyone else for, you never disappointed me. Everything about you is perfect and I would marry you, if it wasn't for your friends, who are mostly lunatics.
= NCIS, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] webbgirl.
With Kate gone, Madam Director and the pornstache, you'd think I'd be far gone, but I've learned to trust the love so I stick around. I just wish the fanfic were better.

4) We had a long and rather intense affair, but there are only a few really memorable moments. Your charms are so obvious and yet there is so much more behind your pretty surface, so much that I cannot stop thinking about even now, after we have moved apart. I can't believe some of the things you made me do!We may have moved apart and don't see each other much anymore, but when we do, the love and passion between us is still as hot as it was before.
= Highlander, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] lunardreamed
The few memorable moments are the Methos episodes, almost the only ones I keep coming back to. And the things HL made me do? Well, I fell for a guy who's wearing shoulder thingies and red(!) pants and then lends them to his boyfriend. Among other unspeakable fashion sins. Oh, Duncan, I love you, and I'm still waiting for the night in Paris where you take me out for dinner and dancing. Sweet sweet dreams...

5) You are an affair that I'm almost a bit ashamed of. Or rather, I feel I should be, but I feel so much for you that I can't. We were always more about the sex than about every day life. I don't call you anymore, but when we meet each other on the street, I always feel like coming home.
=The Sentinel, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] webbgirl
I love it. I know it's not a good show, and I try not to mention that I've watched all its episodes more than once in certain company. But watching Jim and Blair play House never fails to make me happy.

6) You were my childhood friend, an innocent love long before I knew what relationships were all about. When we met years later, we tumbled into bed as if it were always meant to be. I still think you are wonderful and I love remembering you, but if we are honest with each other, we were never meant to last.
= Due South
When I watched Due South for the first time, I was young and innocent and had no slashy thoughts at all. Okay, I may have had some innocent dreams about a certain mountie, but really really innocent. Then, after I had discovered slash, it took a while until I thought, hey, there could be Due South slash. Let's check it out. RayV/Fraser never worked for me, too innocent my relationship with them. Ray K I got to know only then, and we got a long really well, but somehow we always lived in different worlds and I never really found my way into the fandom.

7) I'm a bit afraid of you. You are kinky and dark and so complex, I'm afraid I'll get lost in you, eaten up by the crazy people you hang out with, drawn into your world of twilight and mystery. But I cannot resist you completely, so I keep coming back for little or long tastes, that leave me feeling good and sated, and a little bit dirty and guilty.
= Harry Potter
I like my Harry Potter dark. I don't think there's any fandom where I've read more dark fics, end of the world, good against bad with the bad winning so often. Kink, too, but I read a lot of that in XF as well. I've seen a lot of crazy people in HP, seriously crazy, so I stayed in my not-so-little Harry/Snape corner, where I like to take long (so many HP epics!) holidays from time to time, until I get scared off by yet another WIP that isn't finished after four years.

8) You are it. The one and only. I never get tired of you, even though there are some sides that I chose to ignore and won't take a second look at. You are not even perfect, far from it, but if I had to decide, it'd be you, only you, for the rest of my life. Oh, who am I trying to kid, I am already married to you. I love you.
= Stargate, as guessed by [livejournal.com profile] ana_grrl.
Oh, come on, who else am I married to?

9) We started out as friends and we still haven't progressed far. We made out a couple of times, but we both know it wasn't perfect. We also know that the moment will come, if we just keep trying. Meanwhile, I'm falling for you more and more every time we meet.
= Numb3rs, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] webbgirl
The show keeps getting better and better, but I still haven't found much fanfic that interests me. We will keep trying, though. ;-)

10) You are the partner my parents never wanted me to have. You stand for everything I am against, and still I know that I cannot resist you. Why am I so easy when it comes to you? Why am I so forgiving? Because underneath your macho-tough guy attitude, you are smart and charming and very sexy. You are too occupied with yourself to sleep with me, but I don't mind. I just like watching you and being around you. And dreaming about having sex with you.
= The Unit, or The Bob! Show, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] webbgirl
I don't sleep with the Unit= I don't read fanfic (I don't think there is much fanfic for the Bob! show). I'm happy with just watching the show and making up my own little stories in my head.

Not talking to anyone for almost 24 hours now definitely helped. I'm feeling a lot better.
Good enough to start catching up on my flist, where I have currently reached skip=240. I figure I only have to go to 800 or something like that to catch up with three days. *g*

So, what did I miss?

- Apparently Joss declared Angel/Spike canon. To which my only reaction was: "Huh? Weren't they always canon?"
Then Buffy fandom exploded, which wasn't new either.

- David Hewlett gave a radio interview in which he was very geeky. Or so I heard, since I couldn't find the interview anywhere. Is it available for download? Are there transcripts?

- Pegasus B has new, wonderful fics. I love Pegasus B.

- No one posted NCIS fic. Or if they did, they hid it from me. I'm hurt.

I think I'm ready to leave the house for a while, give my computer some time to cool off. More flist-reading when I come back.
I missed you guys.
Even though i', an anti-social bitch with no friends.
BtVS/Angel
Buffy was my first online fandom. I used to know all the important URLs by heart, and there were many important ones.
Now I only have a few meagre bookmarks left from what once was my biggest fannish love.
*sniff*
It's a bit sad.

...was the subject of today's best spam. For a moment, I thought it was one of you guys sending me pics of naked Ben Browder.

Lately, I haven't felt very...very what? That's the problem really, I don't feel like anything. I don't want to go out, I don't want to talk to people, I don't feel like I have anything to post about. Then it occured to me that I didnt have any actualy work in the last days, so now I'm sitting here, trying to work on a file, and, surprise! I feel like procrastinating posting.

Not that I have anything to post about, since I haven't been doing much. Well, I went out a lot, but my private life is so boring that I'ms ure no one wants to hear about it.
So, why don't I give you an update on my current fannish obsessions, and what I'm doing with them?

A trip through the unhealthy amount of fandoms [livejournal.com profile] oceana_ is currently spending more or less time in:

Let's start with Stargate... )

CSI )

CSI Miami )

Due South )

Harry Potter )

The Sentinel )

X-Files )

Buffy/Angel )

Hard Core Logo )

Andromeda )

Queer as Folk US )

I guess I'll have to continue this in part 2.
I had a very weird experience today. I wrote down my name, and I couldn't believe that this was my name!
It looked utterly strange and unfamiliar, as if it belonged to someone else.
Am I really the person with that name? What do people think when they meet me and hear my name?
A name is something so personal, and somehow it always says something about the person it belongs to. We are already prejudiced when we meet someone wiht a name we have heard before: we compare them to the other person we know with the same name, at least subconsciously.
My real name isn't very common, and I often meet people who don't know the name at all. I wonder what they think about me, judging me purely by my name. I wonder if my life had been different if I had had another name.
And why - all of a sudden - does my name feel strange to me? It's like I know that it is my name, but it still feels like it belongs to another person.
It's official, I'm losing my mind.

So I watched more Buffy )

Watched another episode of Buffy for breakfast, The Harvest.
Okay, after seeing that episode, why did anyone continue watching? It really is horrible. The only good things are Cordelia and Giles, but the rest? Eh, no thank you.

I have seen all these eps before of course, back when I was a real fan. And I loved them, of course, because I was a fan. But I didn't start watching Buffy with these eps, and I doubt I would have.

Anyway, I felt like reading some Buffy fic, went over to [livejournal.com profile] ship_manifesto, found the Buffy/Giles manifesto, and - pervert that I am - decided to check out some of the fic recced within.

Authors summary of previous parts:
Five months later, Buffy has an inexplicable and powerful urge to mate and hunt. Turns out slayers have a shorter biological clock to match their shorter lifespan, and her body is pushing her to have a baby. After her heat passes, she’ll never be able to have children again, so she convinces Giles to father a baby with her. They soon learn that her slayer gifts have even more surprises in store for her, shortening her pregnancy from nine months to nine weeks and giving them twins.

There are just no words.

*goes away to read some Stargate slash*

Yep, that's right. I watched Buffy.
Between the vid I watched yesterday and the great Buffy fic I read today (spoilers for the end of the series, as if anyone hasn't seen it yet), my Buffy love reawakened. (is that a word? sounds weird)

So I sat down and watched the very first episode, and oh my god!
Not very deep thoughts about Buffy 1x01: Welcome to the Hellmouth )

Great show. I feel all nostalgic now. But between catching up with Farscape, watching Oz and my Highlander addiction that is still going strong, I doubt I'll have time to watch more Buffy. We'll see.

Just some quick thoughts:

Are there any of you who haven't slept with each other?
At least it explains the sudden increase in Spike/Xander shippers, fics and recs. I admit that it is a pairing that I've read, but never found particularly interesting. But if I ever find the time to read Buffy fiction again, I hope to find some good Spike/Xander set in Season7. Recs are appreciated.

Spike annoys me. That thing he was wearing? Nothing against tight, clinging shirts, but do the words "too small" ring a bell? I am not even bothering to comment on the whole Buffy/Spike thing. It doesn't make sense to me. My hope is that it isn't supposed to make sense, and that Spike is just going crazy, so he can be shipped of to Daddy and there will never be a word about Spike/Buffy again. Now, I am almost unspoiled for Season 7, but I am spoiled enough to know that these wishes will not be fulfilled. Well, I trust Joss to make something out of the current mess. At least the horrible hair of the last ep is gone.
Buffy needs to have an affair with Principal Wood.


Angel -Season 3 - That Vision Thing

Good ep for the beginning of the Season. I love love love Wesley. Even with the hair. Wesley, of course, loves Gunn.
Angel leaves me with very ambigous feelings. Soemtimes he walks around like a dog after a beating, the ever-suffering souled vamp. In these moments I want to take him and beat some sense into him. Lucky for me, there's Lilah, who brings him out of the tortured puppy mood. The last scene, where he threatened her? That's the Angel I like! And really, why would he want to stay at Cordelia's side rather than going out to help her? Don't answer that, I don not want to think about A/C other than in air conditioning.

It is a little confusing to watch Buffy Season 7 and Angel Season 3 on the same day, because the time lines are off. But that's German TV for you.
