It's that time again...TOOL TI--. . .yeah. That.

From my sister-in-law to you:




Lj

How often do you change your bio?
How do you use tags? No, this one's not you personally. I really don't get how to use them or what they're for.
How do you get to your journal—is it in your favorites? Is the link there your “recent entries” page, your user page, or your “my lj” page, or what?
Why do you have yourself friended?
Do you ever have trouble finding the button to click to add someone’s post to your memories?
How often do you check your flist to see if someone’s added you?
Do you feel it’s impolite to have long conversations with someone on someone else’s journal?
Do you get annoyed when someone makes a comment just to correct a grammatical error, or makes a comment that’s only one word, or seems pointless to you?
How do you spell the gerund form of rec and beta?

General fandom

What did they use to put the tattoo on David Boreanaz’s back? Do you think they worried about getting it in the same place every time? And who gets the job of applying it, anyway?
Did David Boreanaz ever have a back double?
How tall is Nicholas Brendon? Okay now, how tall is he for real?
Am I the only slathering B/A fangirl who doesn’t think much of the episode IWRY?
Are there any fics out there about Anne (formerly Lily, formerly Chantarelle)?
Did anyone besides me really love Kate Lockley?
What DVD commentary do you like the best?
What’s J. Augest Richards doing these days? Alexis Denisof?

Joss Whedon

Why do some people hate Joss Whedon?
Whatever happened to the Ripper spin off?
Is there even the remote possibility of a Faith spin-off?
Is there even the remote possibility of the cartoon?
Did Serenity make enough money, or not?
I want someone explain comic books to me. I was really into X-men comics in preteen years, but one of the reasons I kind of dropped it was because I got confused (also, I got too tall to be comfortable sexing up with Wolverine and realized I would never have boobs like Rogue's. When you're 11, you still want boobs like Rogue's, even though you figure out by 12 NO ONE has boobs like Rogue's. Or even wants boobs like Rogue's, because ugh, back pain). There seemed to be so many different series all going on at once; I couldn't keep them straight. I didn't get the difference between Uncanny, Astonishing, and Amazing. Isn't there like . . . a diagram for these things?

How often do you change your bio?

I change my bio whenever the fancy strikes me, which usually means that I or someone I know said something in conversation that I found to be exceedingly witty. Like, for instance, right now my journal's name is "ohio my ass". Isn't that exceedingly witty?

How do you use tags? No, this one's not you personally. I really don't get how to use them or what they're for.

I would like it everyone used cut tags for anything that's graphically heavy or has a good length of text involved.

How do you get to your journal—is it in your favorites? Is the link there your “recent entries” page, your user page, or your “my lj” page, or what?

My journal (that is, my most recent entries) is my home page. I rarely turn my computer off, though, so at least one version of my journal is sitting on a tab someplace, and then I have that extension in Firefox where all of your old tabs automatically start back up when you fire up your computer again. This is what is called, "aiding your addiction."

Why do you have yourself friended?

I have myself friended for various reasons. One, so that I can see my own entries on my flist. This way if I recently posted something, I can check and see if there are (more) replies. This is especially handy during these troubled times when LJ won't send any comment notifications. Two, so that I can view my own filtered or locked posts. If I didn't have myself friended, I couldn't add myself to my filters. And that would be sad.

Do you ever have trouble finding the button to click to add someone’s post to your memories?

All the times. Depending on a person's journal layout, the location and even the design of the memories button seems to change. I just altered my journal layout and am just realizing that there's a link for "remember," which I assume is a memories function. But who knows?

How often do you check your flist to see if someone’s added you?

Once in a blue moon. Strangely enough, someone *else* seems to go and check that "fan of" list which tells you who friended and who defriended you on what date. Almost daily, too. I don't know who would be interested enough to do that or why, but there you have it.

Do you feel it’s impolite to have long conversations with someone on someone else’s journal?

Nope.

Do you get annoyed when someone makes a comment just to correct a grammatical error, or makes a comment that’s only one word, or seems pointless to you?

Like most anything, it totally depends on the person. Someone that I love can come in and comment with, "poo," and I'll still love it. (And they have, believe you me.) Someone who's been grating on my nerves can come in and comment in a really informative, well thought out manner and I might still get irritated.

How do you spell the gerund form of rec and beta?

I, personally, spell them, "reccing" and "beta-ing."

What did they use to put the tattoo on David Boreanaz’s back? Do you think they worried about getting it in the same place every time? And who gets the job of applying it, anyway?

I don't know for certain, but I assume that they would have made a template of it and printed out a tattoo-sticker every time they needed on and then licked the giant sticker and then pasted on to David's back. That makes the most sense to me.

They seem to have done a pretty (http://pics.livejournal.com/ros_fod/pic/0000d1qx) good (http://pics.livejournal.com/ros_fod/pic/0000c557) job of applying it in the same general area, but the throaty, cold-ridden voice behind me is telling me that I'm just fooling myself.

Did David Boreanaz ever have a back double?

Kita, who knows All About David, says no. But that he did have a stunt double. And that the stunt double's name was Mike Massa. And that Mike is much skinnier than Dave.

How tall is Nicholas Brendon? Okay now, how tall is he for real?

Considering that David is about 6' 1" (I stood in front of him and gauged with my own eyes), I would say that Nick Brendon is 5' 11".

Am I the only slathering B/A fangirl who doesn’t think much of the episode IWRY?

Kita says that you are. I say, "Go you."

Are there any fics out there about Anne (formerly Lily, formerly Chantarelle)?

You know, I'm sure there are. And I went to Ice Cream for Freaks (http://www.exitseraphim.net/recs/characters.html), which is my go-to portal for good fic involving any unconventional pairings and/or secondary characters, and there are no Anne fics there. Obviously you should write some.

Did anyone besides me really love Kate Lockley?

No. But actually, as far as I'm considered, I really, really, really, I mean, really, did not like the actress. I know this because I tried to watch her on Law and Order later on.

What DVD commentary do you like the best?

OMG RAIN OF FIRE!

Example:
DeKnight - Look at him! Vincent Kartheiser! His one perfect tear!

What’s J. August Richards doing these days? Alexis Denisof?

Having man-sex together while Hannigan claps her hands in joy?

Why do some people hate Joss Whedon?

Because they're stupid. No, no. I mean, I get really frustrated with Whedon sometimes, too, but I don't understand author hate of any kind, especially when it's motivated by the two people you think belong together forever and forever...not getting together. Is this the sum of his work? Spike and Buffy don't have a baby and so everything else is crap?
Whatever.

Whatever happened to the Ripper spin off?

Evidently Tony Head was just quoted as saying that it would...um. I've forgotten already.

Is there even the remote possibility of a Faith spin-off?

I don't know.

Is there even the remote possibility of the cartoon?

I don't know. And I'm realizing that I'm such a picky bitch. Anything other than Ats coming back would be pretty noneventful for me. Or a big screen movie! I could so get behind a big screen movie.

Did Serenity make enough money, or not?

I'll let you know when the DVDs come out.

I want someone to explain comic books to me...

Um, purple?

Ice Cream for Freaks

Thanks for the link. Hadn't been there before. Though am sad it does not contain some of the freakier pairings I'm interested in. It always makes me feel better when someone else is as squicky as me.

Obviously you should write some.

I think the only fic I shall write about small part female characters no one is really interested in shall be relegated to Justine.

I really, really, really, I mean, really, did not like the actress.

I hated her on L&O, and it was the actress, not the writing, because the writing on that show is damn good. I had to watch it for a class and I wanted to scratch out my eyes every time she came on screen. Did you know she got fired? And she got fired on the show, and she said to the DA, "Is it because I'm a lesbian?" Which makes me wonder why there aren't Kate/Anne fics. There is a Kate/Cordy at the archive you mention. Huzzah!

Look at him! Vincent Kartheiser! His one perfect tear!

Damn skippy. And I would finally learn how to pronounce his name.

Having man-sex together while Hannigan claps her hands in joy?

I just don't buy it. She'd be joining in if her hands weren't tied, so no clapping.

Spike and Buffy don't have a baby and so everything else is crap?

Spike and Buffy didn't have a baby?

I could so get behind a big screen movie.

See, I could so get behind anything Jossverse. I could so get behind DB and . . .

Um, purple?

Sorry, that's incorrect. But you do get this lovely watch and a year's supply of Turtle Wax.

Isn't that exceedingly witty?

Wit, my Ohio!

If I didn't have myself friended, I couldn't add myself to my filters. And that would be sad.

You would be locked away from your true inner self. Like the Hulk and those people on Oprah.

But who knows?

The button people, who make the buttons and secretly laugh at us. I used to want to be a button person when I grew up. Like Data on Star Trek.

That makes the most sense to me.

Especially because when it started peeling you could scrape it off with your fingernails and like another one right back on there.

They seem to have done a pretty good job of applying it in the same general area

*blinks* applying what now? All I can think of is being applied to DB's general areas, now. And the non-general areas, too.

And that Mike is much skinnier than Dave.

And looks nothing like him. SMG's double was not of the same body type either. (Not of the same as SMG's. Not of the same as DB's either, come to think of it.)

I say, "Go you."

I just have this fear that B/A deities will visit me one day soon now that I have voiced this confession and take away my special B/A hat and bonnet. And . . . dude, it's a pretty hat.
