I'm not really a fan of Valentine's Day. As I tell the the boy, you should adore me every day, not just 'cause the calendar told you to. Plus, it's my sissy's ([livejournal.com profile] floundering) birthday, so growing up, it was always her birthday, not Valentine's Day.

That said, I love all the nice things I see going around fandom. [livejournal.com profile] valentinesecret is so cool. I love the icon (mine and everyone else's) - thank you. I love [livejournal.com profile] svmadelyn's Valentine's Day Game (You can still take part and email her up to 10 people that you love and what reasons...it's just a nice thing to do!). I love all the stuff I see going around my friends list. It's just...sometimes fandom is a really cool thing to be a part of. I love you all for always making me smile and laugh and sometimes drool at the hot.

**

And now a bunch of memes...

1) I'm a lemming and couldn't resist doing that Johari thing. I've been trying to fill in answers for those on my friends list, but sometimes the page gets overloaded. So here's the link to mine if you're interested. It's always intriguing to me to see how others view me against what I think, especially regarding friends of the online world as sometimes you only see a portion of the person I am. So the link - http://kevan.org/johari?name=storydivagirl

2) The Music Meme - Pick a number between 1-830 (yeah, I know. I don't have *nearly* the online music collection of others), and I will upload the song that corresponds to that number for you. Also, if you could let me know if you can play the M4 I Tunes ones because some of my files are those, not MP3...I might just move to a different number for you then. er...

3) stolen from [livejournal.com profile] trollprincess:

Post a link to your fan fiction. The goal is this -- when you spot the meme, click on the link to that person's fanfic and pick something you haven't read before or never commented on when you did read it. The goal is to send positive feedback for something that you genuinely love reading. No negative feedback (after all, it's Valentine's Day, and we're all about showing the love) and no constructive criticism (since even when it's done nicely and is meant well, it can sometimes go the wrong way). Point out lines you loved, style choices you adored, that hot little thing that happened in the middle of the smut. Anything that you love to pieces.

Most of my fic is also in my memories.

The old electricity in this death trap that we're living in for the time being has caused my TIVO to short circuit. It, of course, chooses to do this during Arrested Development so now I'm waiting for the downloads to finish. If bittorrent didn't exist, I would be crying right now. Like it's not bad enough the show may not be back ever again, I can't miss episodes. I love that show. I would have its babies.

Also pissed because it means that I won't get my soaps from SoapNET since my roommate "accidentally" deleted my passes for General Hospital and One Life To Live. So yeah, now I'll have missed a *good* freaking week of soaps AND the Sonny/Brenda episode from the Love on the Rocks special thing. I miss my Sonny and Brenda, dammit.

Also, other GH people out there, have you guys heard the rumor that Rebecca Budig might take on the role of Brenda on GH? I read it in the ABC Soap magazine and they keep talking about it...I'm so torn on this. I love Vanessa Marcil and Brenda is probably my favorite soap character of all time. I love her so much. SO MUCH. So to see that role recast upsets me. HOwever, I do love Rebecca Budig too (only for her did I stick out the Rylee at the end) and if they *had* to recast Brenda, maybe it would work with her. I don't know. So torn on it. But hey, as long as it gets peapod Sonny away from Emily, I don't care. Ugh. ::sporks Emily::

**

Okay, off to read some fanfiction and wait for these damn downloads to finish. I *need* my Arrested Development. I can't take this. Can someone explain to me how a show like "Two and a half men" with Charlie Sheen is still on but AD is gone? Fucking America.

I posted a snippet (http://rhienelleth.livejournal.com/178170.html) from the Charmed fic yesterday. Not the whole thing yet, but a little sound bite of Chris, if you're interested. I'm hoping to finish the first fic in what is likely to become a series tomorrow.

oooh yay! I can't wait to read. I'm in the middle of doing a beta for someone, but then...Charmed fic!

Re: Music meme? 219. m4 files are okay.

As for Arrested Development's not-demise (never!) and Two and a Half Men's success? I believe Jon Cryer's involved. Man, Ducky.

"half-life" by Duncan Sheik is your song - http://s37.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3O9CBY535K6QY0304Y9SKCUJW4

While I love Ducky, that is no excuse for such a bad show still being on. It makes me CRY buckets of unfunny TEARS. Hee.

Aw. The d/l's blocked. Bummer.

That's pretty precisely why I believe Ducky's behind this evil. I think the the bitterness of being on a bad, bad show pushed him over the edge. A sort of, "If I can't have funny, NO ONE CAN" situation, maybe?

Okay, take two at this. I renamed it with its number rather than name to see if that lets it go through. ::fingers crossed::

Thanks for the song. Yay, new music!

ETA: I, too, have heard the rumor on Rebecca taking over the Brenda role. I've heard it from two different sources, now, so I'm inclined to believe it. I don't know. I'm reserving judgement until I see what she does with the role, if she takes it over.

Yeah, if it happens, I guess I'll see how I feel about it. I've always loved Rebecca - both on Guiding Light and All My Children (especially All My Children - my love for Greenlee knew no bounds), but both of those were her own characters, not recasts. But yeah, we'll see. It might work.

Look at you, drawing me out and making me admit I watch soaps. ;) If anybody can measure up to Vanessa Marcil's Brenda, it'll be Rebecca. Same type, same chemistry. She's the perfect choice. And WORD on the Sonny-Emily thing...notice I avoided using a slash...they are the worst dud couple I've ever seen.

It's okay to admit you watch soaps. Sadly, I've been watching ABC soaps since I was a baby. It was how I spent time with my mother - and we still bond over our soap opera chats. Hee.

*nodnod* God. I just want Sonny to die already. He's just the most freaking useless character ever for me. I'd like to see Rebecca as Brenda--I loved her as Greenlee; but I don't want her with Sonny, I want her with Jax. I want the *old* Jax back, not this insipid moron. I want the Jax of Malibu. *sighs nostalgically*

Ahhh...Jax of Malibu times - I loved Jax with Brenda. They were good together, but I hated the abrupt way at their wedding right before Vanessa Marcil left again that Jax just left her at the altar. That was so not in character, man. I know they did it because VM was leaving again, but bah.

And dude, I loved Brenda's marriage to Jason. I'd love to see something there. Hee-hee.

sometimes fandom is a really cool thing to be a part of.

For the insiders. The rest of us, not so much.

I love everyone on my friends list!

And I don't know about insiders/outsiders - I just do my thing. Hee.

because i love music memes where i get new stuff to listen to. :)

i'll say...555.

(if you pick a number between 1 and 3976, i'll hit ya back.)

i am very hit or miss on GH and keeping up with it lately? but i do love rebecca budig...she's my all-time favorite michelle bauer, even over bethany joy lenz. greenlee was cool, too -- although remember when she first came on? what couple was she trying to break up, someone i really liked...one of tad's sons? or dixie's? anyway i was pissed about it. but she grew on me. she'd be a cool brenda -- but don't you think her and the current emily could be siblings? they look so much alike to me its kinda creepy.

but, seconded on "anything to split up sonny and emily," 'cause that's weird and gross. remember when all those kids were still in high school? and sonny was already upper 30s? (at least in my mind...) c'mon.

i'll check back if you want to pick a numbah!

1) Here is song 555 - http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=32U6K3DXQ3Y0M35FPQZR6PWCSF (For the life of me, I can't recall what song I uploaded for you last night. I'll check when I get home)

2) Yeah, I love Rebecca Budig too, so that's why I'm hopeful that if a recast of Brenda happens, it won't be bad. That I will enjoy it.

and I'll take number 3838 from you!
