Mid-week post of randomness plus a meme.
BACK FROM D.C. obviously; thanks to everyone who wished me a good time. It was a lot of fun; aside from the usual monuments/memorials (my fave has to be the World War II Memorial; it was so pretty I could have spent hours just sitting by the fountain), we also checked out the Smithsonian (the Air and Space Museum kicks ass; we got to see the Wright brothers plane) and the National Gallery of Art.
We also went to check out the White House on Saturday night, and while we were wondering aloud whether Bush was back from Beijing yet or not (we hadn't been able to check the news all day), one of the security guards cut in and told us that nope, he was still there, and that on top of that he was scheduled to head to his ranch in Crawford when he returned. To which we responded something like, "...." (We found out later that Bush did end upcanceling postponing the Crawford vacation, after spending the entire weekend chilling out at the Olympics. What a dedicated world leader. XD)
ANYWAY, blah blah politics blah. The Olympics have been really awesome so far. Michael Phelps is amazing, holy shit. I was cracking up last night watching the men's 4x200 relay because he gave the U.S. team such a ridiculous lead; it was hilarious watching the world record line try in vain to keep up.
Aaaaand, getting back to fandom stuff, have a meme from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

1. Comment on this post.
2. I tell you a letter.
3. Think of 5 (or more if you want) book or movie characters and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ.
My letter was T, which wasn't too hard. |D
Takeshi Yamamoto (Katekyo Hitman Reborn) - Whee Yamamoto. Best sense of humor EVER, runs into walls, is friends with everyone in the entire world, always sees the positives, kicks ass with swords. Is hot. I adore this baseball nut.
Tsunayoshi Sawada (Katekyo Hitman Reborn) - Such an unlikely hero, and yet he manages to rise to the occasion so naturally in the end. There's just something about him that's so incredibly good-natured that it wins you over like that. I mean, it's no wonder his famiglia is so loyal to him.
Toph (Avatar: The Last Airbender) - Tooooooph. I love Toph. Pretty much everyone loves Toph. She's cute and blind and TOTALLY BADASS. Why WOULDN'T you love her?
Tom Paris (Star Trek: Voyager) - He was one of my first-ever fandom loves. Wisecracking hot guy with a checkered past trying to redeem himself, omg. I just adored him from the start. He's the reason Voyager was my favorite Trek series (even with its questionable last few seasons).
Takato Matsuda (Digimon Tamers) - One of my favorite characters ever. Just this sweet little kid, kind of quiet, but with such a huge imagination that he actually brings his daydream to life. He's a lot like Tsuna in that he's a really unlikely protagonist at first but gets stronger and braver as time goes on. Honestly, if I somehow had the chance to give a hug to just one character out of every character in the world, I'd probably pick him.
Takezo Kensei (Heroes) - Oh man, even if season 2 of Heroes took way too long to build to that twist (spoilers) making him a villain, it was worth it just because he was a thousand times cooler afterward. I hope we see him again; eventually someone will come along and dig him out, right? This is a comic-book-ish series, after all. XD
Tenel Ka (Star Wars EU) - So back when I was an epic SW geek, the Young Jedi Knights books (bashed as they are) were some of my favorites, and omg Tenel Ka. So awesome. And she and Jacen were one of my first OTPs. I kind of just ignore the newer EU canon these days, because I hate what ended up happening to them.
I was trying to think of a T character I dislike just because the meme didn't specify that I had to like them and this ended up kind of unbalanced in that respect, but. I kind of failed. I like too many characters. XD
Let me know if you want a letter!
