Six pairings I like:
1. Olivia/Peter {Fringe}
2. Katniss/Peeta {The Hunger Games}
3. Mal/Inara {Firefly}
4. Jen/Roy {The IT Crowd}
5. Liz/Wesley {30 Rock}
6. Dean/Castiel/Balthazar {Supernatural}

Three pairings I've abandoned:
7. Gillian/Cal {Lie to Me}
8. Rorschach/Nite Owl II {Watchmen}
9. Liz/Floyd {30 Rock}

Three pairings I have never really liked:
10. Sam/Dean {Supernatural}
11. BJ/Hawkeye {M*A*S*H}
12. Niles/Frasier {Frasier}

Two pairings that have piqued my interest:
13. Niles/Roz {Frasier}
14. Deb/Quinn {Dexter}

1. Why do you dislike #11 so much?
I just can't see BJ and Hawkeye getting together. Mostly because BJ is married and Hawkeye is a chronic womanizer.

2. Who do you know that ships #13?
No one personally, but I'm sure there are people out there that do.

3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3?
They talk for hours in Inara's shuttle and then end up kissing. A real kiss that they're both aware of and conscious for, and Mal finally admits his damn feelings for her.

4. What is your favorite moment for #1?
"You have to come back because you belong with me."

5. How long have you been following couple #6?
For about a season

6. What's the story with #8? What made you stop caring?
I'm just not as into the Watchmen fandom as much as I used to be anymore. I still love the novel and the movie, but I'm kind of "Eh" about it now.

7. Which ship do you prefer - #2 or #4?
#4

8. You have the power to make one ship nonexistent. Choose #10 or #12


#10



9. What interests you about #14?
There's already definite chemistry there, and I think the two of them would be great for each other. They back each other up and already have one another's backs as partners, now I'd like to see how things go with them as romantic partners.

10. When did you stop liking #7?
It's not that I don't like them anymore, it's that I stopped liking and watching the show, so now I'm like, "Eh, whatevs" about it

11. Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the series?
Nope, because it's still ridiculous and hilarious

12. What's a song that reminds you of #1?
I don't really have one, but if pressed, I would have to say 'Gasoline' by Jann Arden.

13. Which of these ships do you love the most right now?
Olivia/Peter, because it's part of the storyline currently going on 'Fringe'.

14. Which do you dislike the most?
#10. Always and forever

15. If you could have any of these pairings double date, who would they be?
HAHAH Oh man. Uhm...maybe Jen/Roy with Liz/Wesley.

16. Have #5 kissed yet? Elaborate if yes.
Yes they have. They were on the way to Cerie's wedding and Wesley asked Liz to get some shoes for him from his office. They kissed awkwardly and both didn't seem too happy about it.

17. Did #4 have a happy ending? Do you think one is likely?
They haven't gotten together yet, but I think one could be possible for them.

18. What would make you start shipping #14?
Their chemistry as partners in Dexter season 3 is when I started.

19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer: #2 or #6?
Well, #2's already happened, and #6 just needs to happen. With Crowley in the back rubbing his hands together going, "Just as planned" in his hot Cockney accent.

20. You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them?
They realize that they're brothers and shouldn't be fucking. Oh no, wait...the entire fucking FANDOM realizes that to the same effect and stops shipping them.

Your Life As a Romantic Comedy

You have to choose the actors who will play:
♥ Yourself alias the main character: Kate Mara

It's always hard for me to cast actors as myself, but I think Kate would be the best choice. She looks like a normal girl, which, you know, works well for me.

♥ The true love: Brendan Hines

He looks like the type of guy anyone could fall in love with.

♥ The "mistake": Nick Stahl

He's attractive, but in comparison to the "true love", he's definitely a big mistake.

♥ The true love's best friend: Joshua Jackson

I'd envision him as the owner of a book store or CD store who knows both my character and the "true love", and hooks them up. Plus, I could easily see Brendan Hines and Joshua Jackson hanging out together.

♥ The rival: Arielle Kebbel

She looks the part of the blonde bombshell, and looks like she'd have no problem stealing your guy.

♥ Mom: Kelli Williams

She looks very warm and caring, and would give good advice.

♥ Dad: Chris Meloni

You definitely want a father who would be protective of you, but not overly so, and even though Elliott on 'SVU' is over protective sometimes, Chris doesn't look like he'd smother you.

♥ Sister/brother (or both):
Younger brother: Anton Yelchin


Younger sister: Abigail Breslin


Okay, so I have no siblings in real life, but these two look like they'd be great; you have the cool younger brother who looks out for you and the cute as a button younger sister who looks up to you.

♥ Hot Older Married Neighbor: Misha Collins

There's always that one neighbour in rom-coms that you lust after, even though you know he's unavailable. And in this case, who wouldn't want Misha to be theirs?

♥ The Best Friends:
BFF 1: Amanda Seyfried

The sassy, fun one you go to with your guy problems.

BFF 2: Olivia Thirlby

The quiet girl who is ridiculously talented at music or writing or some combination of both of them.

BFF 3: Ari Graynor

The down to earth one.

BFF 4: Ben Foster

The boy you've been friends with since grade school, who you have always viewed as a brother.

This initially only had a place for one best friend, but who really only has just one? And only girls at that?

♥ The Best Gay Friend: Paul Dano

Every girl needs a best gay guy friend to let her know what's what.

♥ The Laid Back Boss: Jason Sudeikis

He'd be the type of boss everyone wants; laid back, pretty okay with everything you do as long as you weren't constantly late and didn't burn down the building or steal from him.

♥ The city: San Diego




Not many romantic comedies, at least that I've seen, take place in San Diego, but I would love to see it shown, since it's a beautiful city.


And now you have to choose YOUR PERSONAL SOUNDTRACK, of course:
♥ Opening credits: I Feel It All- Feist
♥ Quiet Afternoon: Naked As We Came- Iron & Wine, The Fox In the Snow- Belle & Sebastian
♥ Out On the Town: I Turn My Camera On- Spoon, April Fools- Rufus Wainwright
♥ In The Club: Dance In My Blood- Men Women & Children, Starstruck- Lady Gaga, Strut- Adam Lambert
♥ Meeting For The First Time: Occasions- The Brendan Hines
♥ First Date: You Make Me Weak At the Knees- Electrelane
♥ The Kiss: Fade Into You - Mazzy Star
♥ Falling In Love: Undisclosed Desires- Muse, Imitation- Mêlée, How My Heart Behaves- Feist
♥ Sex: Familiar Taste of Poison- Halestorm
♥ First Fight: Shitlist- L7
♥ Making Up: Bulletproof- Kerli
♥ The Break Up: Love/Hate Heartbreak- Halestorm, This Love- The Veronicas
♥ The Psychological Breakdown: Pretty Girl (The Way)- Sugarcult, Do What You Have to Do- Sarah McLachlan, Death Came And Got Me- Rosie Thomas
♥ Shopping With Friends: Right As Rain- Adele, White Collar Boy- Belle & Sebastian
♥ Retrospection: I Remember- Damien Rice, Faded From the Winter- Iron & Wine
♥ The Night of "The Mistake": Lover I Don't Have to Love- Bright Eyes
♥ Coping Mechanisms: So What- Pink
♥ Getting Back Together: In My Arms- Beecake, Don't Change- INXS
♥ End Credits: Let Go- Frou Frou, An End Has a Start- The Editors

I listened to the mix I made for the soundtrack to this today and it flows pretty well together. I couldn't pick just one song for every category, and so there you have it.

Halloween Meme

1. What is your favorite written work of horror fiction?
Pet Semetary by Stephen King and The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. Haunting scared the shit out of me, to the point where I cannot read it with no one around/after dark or I get the creeps.


Also, Semetary's ending scared me so much that I had to have my back against the wall of my stairs in my room as I read it.

2. What is your favorite work of science fiction/fantasy?
'Aliens' is my favourite sci-fi movie, second only to 'Serenity'. Though, if we stick with a Halloween theme, I'd say the TV shows 'Supernatural' and 'Fringe' are the best.

3. Who is your favorite monster?
The Headless Horseman from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. And as far as actual monsters, I'd have to say vampires, though we're inundated with them now, and it's annoying.

4. What is your favorite Horror movie?
'Fright Night'. It's spooky, scary and very funny. And it has Roddy McDowall and Chris Sarandon in it. :)

5. What horror movie gives you the most chills?
'The Haunting' {1963 version}, 'The Descent' and 'The Orphanage'.

6. What character from any horror film would you most like to play?
I'd probably like to be Ripley from 'Alien', since she kicks total ass.

7. Freddy or Jason?
I don't really like either of them, but I'll have to go with Freddy since he can kill you in your dreams, and that's awesome. And also:

He's being played in the remake by Jackie Earle Haley. How awesome is that?

8. What is your favorite Halloween treat?
Almond Joys

9. Ghosts or goblins?
Ghosts, by far. Thank you, 'Supernatural'! I've even been ghost hunting in Old Ellicott City and saw numerous orbs.

10. Friendly-faced jack-o'-lantern or scary one?
I usually make friendly ones, but this one is AWESOME:

11. What is your scariest encounter with the paranormal?
I was on the phone with one of my current exes, and I was sitting on the floor in front of the stove. While we were talking, the radio that was across the room started making noises, like voices, which raised in volume and then just went away.

Also, when I was on the phone with same ex, we got disconnected, and when I called him back, I heard some weird whispering on the other end. I got freaked out and hung up. He called me back a minute later and went, "What the hell was THAT?!" since he had heard it, too.

12. Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not?
I do believe in ghosts. I've felt a cold spot in the middle of summer, I've heard ghostly whispering on the phone and through the radio, and one night I heard whistling downstairs when everyone in the house was asleep and I was the only one awake.

Also, I've got numerous photos of orbs that I took in Old Ellicott City, and while they're not necessarily evidence of ghosts, they are often psychic residue or evidence of of it.

13. Would you rather be a zombie, alien, or psycho?
Psycho. They have the most fun before the third act. {Excellent answer, Lauren. I totally agree.}

14. Favorite Halloween costume?
Of the ones I've worn, when I was Laura Ingalls Wilder in 8th grade. It was so much fun getting to dress up as her.

15. Best thing about Halloween?
All the free candy, and pretending to be someone else for the night.

16. Person in your family who most likes Halloween (not counting yourself)?
I would say my uncle or my Dad, since all of us share a love of horror movies, but my Mom likes the decoration aspect of the holiday...like every other holiday.

17. Are you superstitious?
Not really, though I do knock on wood sometimes.

18. Share an unusual Halloween story.
I don't really have one, actually.

19. What did you do for Halloween as a kid?
Trick or treated.

20. What's the best Halloween party that you've attended?
The one I attended yesterday. There was Rock Banding while in costume. I was Liz Lemon from '30 Rock'.
