I come back to THIS?

...Four months of silence is better than six months?

I want to be all excited about finally getting my ass back onto lj, but it appears that I picked the worst week ever to try that, huh?

So this is the fandom stuff that's making us all 'splodey, right? )

fandom, general hospital, wtf?, real life, television, criminal minds

YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[also, this is maboheme by the way...just renamed]

Yes I've been so upset by both GH and CM. Don't even get me started. GRRRRRR.

But YAY, someone to talk CM with! Are you as in love with the Morgan/Garcia bffship as I am?

Congrats on the degree! Woohoo! What is it in by the way? And yeah good luck on the job search. I know I'm still wandering aimlessly unemployed across America with my 500 grad degrees. ;P

OMG HELLO!!!!! *tacklehugs*

I'm trying to desperately to catch up, so I just now took a look at your new journal. I'm sure I'll have more insightful things to say besides "ooh, pretty!" in the future, but for now, that's what you get. :)

Nothing about GH surprises me. This was always the big fear we all had, and Guza did not disappoint. He always succeeds at failing, which I guess is something?

Yes! CM may be going to hell in a handbasket next season, but I will not let it ruin the first five seasons of joy I've just discovered. How could no one tell me about that show?! It has all my kinks -- cast chem, teamfic, awesome women, crime procedure -- and NO FORCED SHIPS. Morgan/Garcia BFFs forever, yo. Also JJ/Prentiss/Garcia BFFs. And Morgan/Reid BFFs. SO MUCH BFF-Y GOODNESS.

I now have a MS in urban policy analysis, with major coursework in gender policy. Yes, I enjoy being disappointed in real life as well as in fandom. Hee, we'll wander aimlessly together. Are you still down south? Or are you moving back up the east coast again?

ALSO, YOUR ICON IS LOVE.

Yep, GH really decided to go the path we all were hoping it would not go. I give up!

CM I just discovered by accident due to it getting syndicated late last year and I started watching the A&E marathons during the Christmas holidays and I was hooked. Such a fab show. And yes, I love my bffs so much -- Morgann/Garcia and my Morgan/Reid being my favs, and all the ladies are AWESOME. Too bad TPTB doesn't think so. *eye roll*

Ah! MS in Urban Policy! You go girl! Get ready to party hard with the policy wonks :P I'm on my way back to either DC or NYC in the fall because that's where all the jobs are at apparently. Le Sigh! For now I'm hanging out with the family down South.

I LOVE A GOOD TEAM/CAST. And Megan Joy totally won me over this last year.

GH is...ugh. I can't believe I almost got sucked in again earlier this year. What a waste of a good soap.

Hee, yeah, CM was a total accidental discovery, but I am so glad to at least have five seasons worth of joy. As much as I can't deal with GBV-stuff in fiction -- too much sensationalism and GETTING IT FUCKING WRONG -- CM actually strikes me as not totally sucking in that department, which is just an added bonus on top of the awesome cast stuff. TPTB can shove it. At least it's pretty uniformly being panned, by fans and cast alike.

Hee! Now if only someone would hire me for my policy wonky services... Well, not that I'm partial or anything, but I'd say try NYC first. *hint hint*

Also, since lj apparently won't let me comment on your journal, don't tempt me with the Schmoop Bingo! Between fandom news and my Fem Gen Ficathon Fic of OMGDEPRESSION, schmoop is sounding SO GOOD right now.

*TACKLE HUGS*

Not that you were really gone from my life, persay, because I harass you into talking to me, but still. It's the principal of the thing.

I do not pretend to understand GH. It hurts when I try.

As for procedurals being mostly a boys game, you know I agree, but may I kindly point you in the direction of The Good Wife, *cough, cough*. Maybe the key is to have the female character in the title. Bones is pretty good at the whole keeping female characters centric thing, too. I'm going to have to think about this more.

But mostly, *TACKLE HUGS*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, you do not let me get away with ignoring you, lol. *hugs*

I left my personal canon theory in Resa's journal, which includes an elaborate plot by Helena and the REAL Robin and Patrick living happily ever after somewhere else. Yes, Guza has driven me to making up canon AGAIN.

Hee, I PROMISE I will check out the Good Wife this summer! It does sound awesome. And shows that respect and understand female characters would be SUCH a welcome change of pace.

(PS: indeed, Bones is pretty damn awesome about its female characters. We need to squee more about that show, too).

You know you love me for it.

Haha, I'm beyond even making up canon. I'm just tired. Since the revolution is never coming, I give up, Guza wins. I'll always have what it was and that will have to be enough.

I am going to hold you to that. You know I will, too.

(I'll just direct you here. I won't take the laughing at my fangirl spasms of joy personally. lapiccolina said it was cute. I don't entirely believe her, but what can you do?)

Well lookie here. Hmph. NOW you come out. =P. Will you CALL me at some point?!? =P.

LOL.

I'm not broken anymore, just one pissed off bitch. I refuse to let that hack ruin my couple, so I'm firmly ignoring this entire thing until Robin comes back and I see my couple back on screen. Guza can take his shit and choke on it this he's effing blue in the face.

Ok, I'm ALMOST over my rage. Maybe. Punk ass.

Yay for graduating. That'll be me in one year and hopefully on the verge of entering the madness that is med school. Yes, I realize I'm a masochist. But I'll be one that will save the world!

Ahhh *TACKLE HUGS* I've missed you!!!!

I didn't even know you made posts, because I'm weeks behind on LiveJournal. If I'm not careful, I'm going to slide into the NJ pattern and post every six four months. Lol!

Congrats on graduating!!! That's so exciting!!!!! I'm so proud of you!! Now that your life is less crazy (minus the whole job thing) you're gonna post more, right???

PS, You had me at cute BFFs!!! Criminal Minds, eh? Hmmm. Lead me to some clips.
