Sooo...no one's going to be in the office with me for a couple of hours, and I'm running out of work to do, so I kinda wanna do the top 5 meme again, and I'm gonna steal Teija's line:

Ask me top fives or I'll silently resent you!

Please? BOREDOM MIGHT KILL ME!

1. sihaya09!! I got my Christmas present in the mail today! Yay Serenity!! Thanks, darlin. *smooches*

2. I sent out half of my Christmas cards yesterday. Hopefully the other half will go out tomorrow, if I finish them tonight. If not, well, everyone who'll be getting them late will just have to consider them Hannukah cards. ;)

3. ( Fandom meme where I post fandoms and you guess my favorite characters. I'm an open book. This should be easy. :p )

4. I am thisclose to finishing my shopping and putting this stupid holiday behind me. 2006 cannot come fast enough. But, I have only one person left to buy for, and I already know what he's getting. And then all I have to do is wrap everything. :p But yay! No more stupid holiday shopping!

5. My sister is ashamed of me because I know the words to more than one Kelly Clarkson song. I say, SUCK IT TREBECK.

6. In four days, I get my first day off of work in three and a half weeks! Although, it's Christmas Eve, so I don't think it counts. But still! A whole day with no going anywhere and getting paid for it! Yay!


ETA: OMG MY ICONS MATCH!

ETA2: Something I've been thinking about recently: Why is it that all the cute boys are massive tools and all the nice boys are utterly, hopelessly, going-on-a-three-month-mission-trip-to-north-Africa religious? Can anyone explain this to me?

I was tagged, ummmm, days ago for this meme, but I am slow and therefore only just doing it.

In other news, there is no heat in my office and it's currently snowing outside. I'm wearing a sweater and my coat and a scarf and my fingers and nose are due to fall clean off any minute now. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Supposedly, someone's going to come fix the heat soon, but I don't know why I'm not allowed to do like our tenant in the building next to us and just go home any time the heat isn't working. Yeesh.

Though, if I went home, I'd miss my very first office Christmas party tonight after work. And, truth be told, I am a little excited to see the people who work upstairs let their collective hair down a little. Especially the one I've affectionately dubbed ToolBoy. He could use some relaxation. :p

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

1. The movie meme, for bellanut has commanded it so. ( MEMEMEMEME! )

2. ( VM talk. Spoilers through 1x22 and some stuff I'd like to see next season. )

3. I may have an in for a job in Annapolis. I may also be able to afford to move in with Ashley sometime in June or early July. This makes me very, very happy.

4. Plans for the week include: a Firefly marathon, making Aster watch ESotSM with me cause OMG I've been trying since September, packing, getting my car looked at finally, watching the rest of S1 Arrested Development, and maybe attending sporadic senior week events. Weeeeeee. :)

That's all for now. Expect a detailed concert report and a pic!spam sometime later this evening. Maybe tomorrow.

So I do memes. (I promise I'm going to finish the Paint one. My computer is soooo slow, though.)

( Fandom meme thing )

So the fandom meme has prompted me to ask a question I've wondered before. How is it that people will love a show/movie/book, and yet hate the main character so fiercely? I mean, I've seen a ton of people say they love BtVS, and yet hate Buffy's character, or people who love the Harry Potter books, and yet hate Harry. For Buffy, I can sort of see it, as there are a lot of other characters to like instead, but in HP? Harry is one of about four characters that is fleshed out at all, and he's in every single scene. For both of these, and other shows/movies/books where people hate the main character, how do people reconcile continuing to watch or read when the character they hate gets all the screen time? Personally, if I hated Buffy Summers, no amount of Daniel Osbournes or Rupert Gileses would make the show worth watching. But that's just me.

And as a sidenote? I totally do not get the rabid Draco love at all. I hate Draco so so much. He's the most boring, one-dimensional "villianous" character EVER. I'm really hoping he just doesn't show up to Hogwarts in book six. Cause I hate him.

Anyway, I'm waiting for my laundry to dry, and then I'm going to go finish spending my Christmas money. I need pants, so pants I shall buy.
