Then, write 10 things that you love starting with that letter.
Post the list in your journal.
Give out letters to your commenters in return.
She gave me the letter G. 8D
1. Gokudera Hayato - My favorite character ever until my next obsession comes along. |D I have been informed through this meme that I have an apparent weakness for loners/people with tragic pasts/passionate characters who also have an intellectual side/characters who grow into leaders, and since pretty much all of this applies to him, I guess it was inevitable as soon as I started reading this series. HE WAS MADE FOR ME TO LOVE HIM.
2. Gushing - This is something I have a tendency toward, as some of you may have noticed. XD It's actually kind of weird; in real life, I'm far more likely to poke fun at something (though I still don't tend to out-and-out bash things unless I really hate them for some reason), but when I'm posting, all I ever really want to do is gush over things. Maybe it's because I sometimes feel too embarassed to admit it out loud when I really really like something, because I come off as A RAMBLING FANGIRL. Whereas online, I'm already this shameless so I might as well. XD
3. Guitar Hero - Thankfully my brother is addicted to these games (he's actually really good; apparently he's ranked in like the top twenty players in the country on the Wii; he said he was 8th in Rock Band 2), so I don't have to buy them myself; I can just go and play his. |D But I love rock, and I love pretending I can play the guitar, and I love love love hammer-ons and pull-offs, and damn it they are so much fun.
4. Goodbye, Goodnight - Caddles you got me addicted to Mae. D: I'm not getting up off this ride/I'm holding tight 'till I can feel alive...
5. GokuHaru - Aside from 8059, this is probably my favorite Reborn pairing. I always have a great deal of difficulty explaining why because it's really not present in the canon aside from tiiiiiiiny little hints every once in a blue moon, but just... I don't know, their personalities work off each other so well. It's much easier to explain through fanfiction (off the top of my head, I recommend
morphaileffect's Looking After the Boss and dame_batsie's Way to Go, Self and Empty House), because then you can really show how awesome the interaction and the dynamics are. Also, Haru really needs more love.6. Genkishi - NEVER FORGET. *moment of silence*
7. Goo Goo Dolls - Definitely one of my favorite bands, and in addition to that, Slide is probably one of my all-time favorite songs. They're so great to listen to when you're just feeling mellow and want to chill. And I love John Rzeznik's voice. *_*
8. Gregory House - House has been a favorite character of mine ever since I first saw the show; I mean... he's House. Despite season 5 being a pretty weak effort overall (the last few episodes notwithstanding), the season finale was pretty stunning and I can't wait for season 6.
9. Gen - I will always, always gravitate toward gen first, even when it comes to pairings I love. Not that I don't enjoy yaoi and het, but the thing is that I think gen tends to have more freedom to explore, because the scenarios aren't specifically crafted toward creating a way for the two characters to get together. Even in friendship fics, I think there's generally more room to really focus on the character interaction because the author isn't trying to lead up to sex/snogging/etc. Instead, the conversations can go where they want to go. I don't know if I'm explaining this very well, because obviously there are countless het and yaoi fics that do a spectacular job of showcasing the things I'm describing, and aren't hampered at all by the romance (sometimes quite the opposite), but still; in general, I know I'm more likely to find the kind of plot/character development/interaction that I most enjoy by looking first to gen. So yeah. XD
10. Ghost Hunters - ...okay, I ran out of things beginning with G, but I do like this show. DID YOU EVER SEE THE EASTERN STATE PENETENTIARY VIDEO? It's wild. Sort of. :P
Aaaand...
Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.
KHR - Right now, KHR is my fandom. This means it is currently the thing my brain defaults to when it's not occupied, which depending on how bored I am is A LOT. In other words, when I go to sleep at night, my last sleepy thoughts are usually something related to KHR. When I take a shower, I brainstorm about fic-things related to KHR. When I play CDs in my car, the music reminds me of KHR. During work breaks, I ponder fangirly things about KHR. Basically, any time I'm not occupied with real life things, my mind wanders off to fandom... and KHR. IT'S PRETTY PATHETIC BUT IT IS HOW I LIVVEEE.
Gokudera - So, if KHR is my fandom, then Gokudera is my character. XD EVERYTHING I WROTE ABOUT KHR ABOVE ALSO BE MORE SPECIFICALLY APPLIED TO HIM. I mean, not just him, but... well, I love him, so he is on my mind a lot. Sometimes I wonder if this is something everyone does or something that's more specific to writers, but I'm like constantly daydreaming or brainstorming about things relating to him. It's pretty embarassing. BUT IT ALSO LEADS TO FUN FIC IDEAS AND SUCH, so. I dunno.
Hetalia - Oh man, I do like Hetalia, but it's also like... the thing I LIKE but a lot of other people LOVE. I'm just not quite as into it. (I think a lot of this has to do with me being too distracted to have room for more than one major fandom at a time. XD) But it's so damn cute and funny and I love all the countries and I especially love the WWII-era stuff and also, the fanart in particular is AMAZING and if I ever got carried away I could easily spend hours on end just drooling over it. It's really an awesome fandom.
Avatar - BEST SHOW EVERRRR except not really but damn, it's close. Sometimes I'll happen to catch an episode again on Nicktoons or whatever and I'll just... be amazed at how good it still is. Why can't all American cartoons be like this. :/ AND I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE LIVE-ACTION MOVIE IN SPITE OF THE RACEFAIL AND THE FACT THAT SHAYAMALAN'S LAST TWO MOVIES HAVE PRETTY MUCH SUCKED. I will remain optimistic as long as I possibly can because I really, really want it to be good. XD
Yama/Wall - Obviously this is my OTP. I've rambled in the past about how Yamamoto is a much more complex character than he sometimes appears to be, but you know, the same applies to Wall, too. Amano never really spent much time exploring his motivations, but that just means there's that much more room for fandom to play. For instance: What was he doing working for Genkishi, anyway? And what ever happened to him after Byakuran magically teleported the Melone Base away? (Also, did you notice how during the entire rest of that arc, Yamamoto remained KOed but as soon as the base disappeared, he woke up and was pretty much fine? THE WALL WAS KEEPING HIM UNCONSCIOUS!!) Anyway, I like to think that after this arc ends, Yamamoto will just be walking along one day and suddenly the Wall will just appear out of nowhere and he'll smack right into it again. He can't escape its love.
I'm probably too zonked to think of words to give out to everyone, but I'll be more than happy to give out letters.
Also, on a completely unrelated note: how is it that stuff like this is still happening in Iran and yet all the front page of CNN cares about is Michael Jackson? Seriously, enough already. :|

Gushing online is okay. :3 Most of us use LJ as a fannish outlet anyways so it's to be expected.
When I take a shower, I brainstorm about fic-things related to KHR.
This is me as well. Why do all good ideas come in the shower? O_O
KHR is like the knight in shining armor that whisked me away from other fandoms. And Yama/Wall is <33333 (for lack of better words). My friend almost ran into a wall the other day and I thought, "Heh, he almost pulled a Yamamoto." But I didn't say it aloud because nobody would understand. But I know you would. *__*
And I totally agree with you on the media thing. Time to focus on moving forward instead of looking back on the past. :|
no subject
Haha, thank God; if I didn't have the Internet and LJ to fangirl on I don't know what I'd do. XD
I really don't know. I used to think I was just weird, and then I started hearing all these other people confess that it happened with them as well. THE SHOWER IS A MAGICAL PLACE, I GUESS?
LOL, I always think of running into walls as "pulling a Yamamoto" now too. Next time it happens around me I'll probably say it anyway, knowing that somewhere, at least one other person knows what I'm referring to EVEN IF NO ONE AROUND ME IS ENLIGHTENED.
Yeah, seriously. At least people like Mark Sanford and Sarah Palin got to benefit from it. :|
no subject
Your sentiments on 'gushing' is pretty much how I feel ><; I just can't summon the energy to do it irl, but online is a whole nother story XD
...something tells me I need to catch up with khr.
Since I'm not a fan of pwp fic, I always try to create context for the characters when I want them to end up snogging. So it could be like gen. Except with mansex. @_@ er....I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore asdgaldgh I think I shy away from gen because I don't have good plot ideas, when I do try to write gen it just seems like slash minus the actual...slash and I think I'm missing the point if I feel that way. ORZ
I love the Goo Goo Dolls too x3 Or...what I've heard of them, at least xD I should go youtube surfing on them sometime.
idk how I got so into Hetalia ><; might have been the whole comic relief thing XD.
AHAHA THE WALL EXPLANATION *brb dyingdying*
"The media" has never catered to what's really important :| end of story.
no subject
Yeah, somehow online it's liberating, where as in real life it would probably be exhausting. I don't really have the energy to go around constantly proclaiming my love for random things loudly, but by contrast TYPING EXCITEDLY IN ALL CAPS IS VERY EASY! |D It's a good thing livejournal exists.
YEESSSSS YOU MUST DO THIS. <3 YOU KNOW HOW AWESOME THE YAMAMOTO FIGHTS ARE.
Heh, you're one of the many exceptions I noted, so no worries; I love your characterization. Actually, you're one of the writers who makes me wish I was capable of writing something other than gen. sob.
I wonder if they have any new stuff out; I haven't actually listened to them in a while. Summer is apparently my designated "check out new music" time of year, so I should get on that.
I actually don't know why I'm not more into it myself; it has everything I love (great characters, hilarity mixed with angsty/dramatic plots!1, a concept that's just weird enough to be THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER, etc.). I really do think it's probably just because I can't focus on more than one fandom at at time. XD
YOU LAUGH BUT DEEP DOWN YOU KNOW THAT THE LOVE WALL HAS FOR YAMA IS MAGNIFICENT AND UNPARALLELED.
And yeah, unfortunately this has always been and probably always will be true. Sigh.

I want a letter, if you don't mind giving me one!
Oh, and I totally agree with you about KHR taking over your life. It's very sad, but it's happening to me too.
I can't look at the weather without smirking (rain storms make me lol) and I can't do things with numbers without smirking and I can't look at certain colours without smirking...
KHR WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME.
I LIKE IT. <333
no subject
Sure! Is T all right with you, then? <3
Heh, a while back there was a list posted on the KHR comm along the lines of, "You know you're a KHR fan when..." (Actually, by now there's probably been more like several lists but whatever. XD) And it's sad how many of those weird things apply to me. I'm the same as you when it comes to numbers and the weather, lol. BUT SURELY SOMETHING THIS MUCH FUN CAN'T BE WRONG. |D
no subject
T is fine. <3
It will be so predictable. I'll go do it now.I just looked that up and was very startled by how many actually applied to me. Man, that is sad. I SURELY DO AGREE. SOMETHING THAT IS SO INCREDIBLY FUN TO FANGIRL OVER CAN'T BE BAD AT ALL. THANK YOU AMANO.
