When choosing between two evils...

29. What movie, book, or TV episode makes you cry without fail? (Or get wibbly, if you're not a crier.)

Hands down, the Buffy episode "The Body". It made me wibbly before, but now that I have lost my own mom, I cry like a little bitch. Every time. I always get choked up at Anya's "never have eggs or fruit punch" speech, but more than that, when Buffy actually finds Joyce. I can't even watch parts of that episode anymore unless I just feel like sobbing.

I cry when Dobby dies or at least get a little Claire-Danes-lip-trembly, and the first time I saw the end of HP:DH2, I cried when they showed Fred, Remus, and Tonks.

The movie the "Joy Luck Club" makes me cry sometimes. Especially at the end when Ming-Na's mom tells her that she always takes the worst quality for herself because she has the best quality heart.

23. The holidays are coming. Which means good food. Share a recipe for a dish you love to enjoy during the Merry Thanksmas season. (So we can enjoy it too!)

Homemade Flavored Crackers

2 sleeves of saltine crackers
1 pkg dry Ranch seasoning (3 tbls if you have a container of dry Ranch dressing mix)
2 TBLS Red pepper flakes
1 Tbls Garlic powder
2/3 cup of canola oil

Put all ingredients in a giant ziplock and shake until crackers and nicely coated. Let set over night for best results. The longer those flavors have to soak in, the better they taste.

Best with chili, stew, or with soft cheeses.

21. What about LJ keeps you coming back? (Because let's be honest. This place is old. BUT WE ALL LOVE IT ANYWAY. WHY???)

I haven't been until lately. I started posting again because I got a challenge email from elle_blessing Also, I have a permanent account. I used to blog alot, but I get too busy writing my books to blog, but sometimes I do miss blogging. I mean, I met a great deal of my friends through fandom, and this was the fandom place to be back in the day.

18. Share your favorite fandom places/sites outside of LJ.

I think this one's kind of lame. Twitter, I guess? I don't really go to any "fandom" places anymore, so instead of giving an answer, I'm going to post this video of Hiddles bustin' a move.

16. What are your favorite doomed ships? Ships that never were? Canon ships?

Oh geez. Spike/Willow. And I kind of wanted Dawn and Connor to be in the same room once to see if my Dawn/Connor shipping was justified. Definitely Draco/Ginny. I would also say Blaise/Luna. I had a Michael/Liz thing on Roswell. They were so doomed, but I love Elle/Sylar in Heroes. Those two were so messed up, though. You knew going in that it was going to end in blood and horror going in.

Crap. I forgot to post again yesterday. :(

13. Post a photo that you love.
This. I was so much more invested in their 10 minutes of screen time. I got more from it than anything else going on in the Movie-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named.



14. Write about your first fandom crush(es). (Post a picture of them if you can!)
This is easy. I'm not posting pics, though. On Buffy it was all about Angel until Spike came along. When I was a little girl it was all about Jareth in Labyrinth or Han Solo.

11. What movie are you most looking forward to this holiday season? (Link to a trailer so we can experience the impending awesomeness too!)

This is the short list.

Of course I am looking forward to The Hobbit and Catching Fire. I'm not posting those trailers. They're everywhere. Also, planning on seeing Thor sometime this week.

There is also this:


And this doesn't come out until 2014, but I'm still interested.

I missed posting yesterday. Damn.

8. Post a song that makes you want to write. (Or gets you in the mood to read All Of The Fanfic.)

I wrote the first edition of "In Shadowside" to Evanescence's Fallen. Lately I have been listening to Lori Carson's and Graeme Revell's "Fall in the Light" for 4th Corner. It just sort of depends what I need to write for what song or band I'll choose. In the chaos and death scene I just wrote where I killed a bunch of characters, I pretty much listened to Korn especially "Falling Away from Me" and there was a fight between Madison and Strephon that got "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys.

9. Who is your favorite villain?

Draco Malfoy, but I don't know if he really counts as an all-out villain.

I guess I would have to say Angelus... because leather pants, and OMG, is that ever the worst when you have sex with your boyfriend and he goes evil. Because the hot guy who's evil is way dangerous.

Which brings me to Loki.

I also dig both Regina and Rumple as villains on OUaT.

My favorite villains as a couple are Sylar and Elle from Heroes.

I'm sure there are others. I just can't think of them.
