Slow afternoon at work. So slow, in fact, that I'm doing a meme. I have this weird aversion to most memes, probably stemming from an entirely juvenile desire not do stuff that every else is, GOSH. (My Napoleon Dynamite joke is crippled by the fact that a) it's the internet so you can't hear my impression and b) it's not the fall of 2004.)

Stolen from

Name a fandom you know I know and I'll tell you:

1. The first character I first fell in love with
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer
6. The character I would shag anytime
7. The character I'd want to be like
8. The character I'd slap
9. A pairing that I love
10. A pairing that I despise.

Most of my major fandoms are listed in my userinfo. BUT let's mix this up (and simultaneously cater to my desire to appear as though I know something about everything) and say that you can name whatever fandom you want, and if I don't have an opinion I will MAKE ONE UP.

1. Shame on me for not wasting valuable brain space on that bit of information!
3. I didn't remember his name. Ergo, boring. I don't think he had anything going on other than angst over the fact that his girlfriend was a prostitute.
4. Dude Tamrissa was annnoying. And yet I still liked her and was committed to seeing her fulfill her ultimate destiny.
5. Yeah, always sleep with the professional.

AHAHA I forgot about that twist! The magic! That's why we can't shag!

How did it end!?!?!? I didn't care by that point.

Yeah, I tuned out after finished book six (the first one in the Blending Enthroned part) and flipping 8 pages into book 7...they were far less interesting when they were just roaming the countryside with hundreds of other blendings. Made for some good orgies, I'll bet. My money's on "The 6 ruled happily ever after" for the final line of the series.

Yeah, no kidding. Did they really have a "Now ALL the Blendings must sleep with ALL the other Blendings and only then came we take over the world!" plot twist? Because I would not be surprised in the slightest.

Apparently the last one was spectacularly awful. Note this quote from an Amazon.com reviewer: "I personally like to drink tea but seeing EVERYBODY on EVERY page drinking tea grated on my nerves. IS THERE NOTHING ELSE IN THIS WORLD TO DRINK! Why were we subjected to this over and over like a club bashing in our heads. If this is what keeps the writer writing good for her but why subject us to all of this tea swilling. I found myself wanting to hold each and every one of the characters."

Sorry, that was: "...hold each and every one of the characters down and pour tea down their throats until they drowned in it."
