Don't be jealous of my boogie

(yes, I know that's actually Faith. . .shhh)

And congrats to all my other homegirls who made it to the final rounds as well! I was so proud of my Scully, Brennan, Lorelai, & Veronica Mars. They did this fangirl proud. I don't know what I'm going to do with my time now that FMM is over. Well, probably sleep at night, have time to read my friends page, & get some actual work done, but you know what I mean. Heh. That was so much damn fun though (even with the few moments of wankyness & cheating), and exactly what I needed this week to distract me from my fail real life. Plus it reminded me why I love the above characters as much as I do, and it reawakened my inner Buffy/Faith shipper like whoa. (So if any of you know of some good fanfic? HOLLA AT ME, plz & thank you.)

And on top of all that? I also made some new friends! *waves*

So yeah, much love to Fandom March Madness. Can't wait to do it again next year.

I couldn't help thinking though, wouldn't it be fun to do something similar for shipper pairings? I kinda can't resist the idea, and am really tempted to do a one-day Shipper Showdown in my journal. Like I was thinking maybe do a poll with a few pairings (both canon & not) from each of the shows most popular with my flist? And then everyone could duke it out in the comments over which pairing is their favorite. How epic would that be? So much opportunity to convert others to your ships! Hee. But only if people think it would be fun, and there's a day when most people would be free. A Saturday or Sunday is what I'd assume would be best (it's what would work for me at least), but let me know what you guys think & whether it's something I should actually do.

Before I shut up about TV, I'll just throw in one more random non-FMM related thing: Wanna know why I should never be allowed to surf channels on live tv? Because I inevitably end up doing something like watching a marathon of RuPaul's Drag Race on Logo, that's why. Which, by the way, is the most cracktastic thing ever and which I cannot stop watching now. Damn you, reality television! (seriously though, it's like America's Next Top Model, BUT EVEN CAMPIER & GAYER. I didn't even know that was possible.)

But anyway, enough tv talk. I wanted to thank everyone for being so wonderful after my last post. I was having a rough day, but the comments really helped. I did see the counselor this week, and there have been some new developments since then between my mother and I as well (which ended with me telling her she was the "lead captain of the Bullshit Brigade" & that she needed to get her shit together or not contact me again, so that kind of gives you an idea of how it went), but it's late and I'm really tired so I'm going to put off talking about it in more detail until another day. I'm okay though, I promise. And I finally went back to work this week (I'd missed two weeks by the time I returned), so that's good too.

For my Vid of the Day, I'm going to swipe a rec from one of my newly added flistmates (huh920). When I saw this vid on her journal yesterday, I literally laughed so hard my stomach hurt, I'm not even kidding. I'm going to put it behind a cut though, because I try to be sensitive to spoiling people and the title on the vid could easily be considered a spoiler if you're picky enough (it's about the by now infamous season 4 finale of Bones). All I'll say is that it involves Hitler as one pissed off shipper. Haha. And apparently even HH has seen it! That is so wonderfully win.

Right? If there's anyone more fiercely insane than regular fans, it's shippers. And that's coming from a shipper. Heh.

The Ru Paul show is so addictive! I'm all rooting for specific people now and everything, ha. Tatiana is my favorite, but I also like Tyra and Jessica. I seriously think Tatiana looks better in drag sometimes than I do EVER. How is that fair?

I don't actually watch that much reality tv otherwise, but I do love me some Amazing Race, ANTM, & So You Think You Can Dance. It's funny though, because even if I don't watch it aside from that very regularly, once I DO turn it on? I can't stop watching. I get hooked into some crazy marathon or something.
