I found this meme through someone here like a month ago, copied the list, and now I don't know where it's from so I can credit! SO if you know whose this is, lmk
I haven't been on here, but sometimes when I'm bored at work I like filling out memes. So I'm gonna use this year-long meme on a monthly basis - I answer questions in a doc when I feel like it, and then once a month I post them. If anyone reads these, that's fine. If no one does, it's mostly for me anyway.

Jan 1 What is one thing you’d like to accomplish in 2020?
I want to find a partner and have a relationship, honestly. That’s intimidatingly huge and feels almost wrong to put out into the universe, but yeah. I've always been fine alone, but last year that started to change.

2 What would be the first sentence of your autobiography?
The first thing I remember from childhood is being five years old and sitting on the couch in our old living room, while my mother tells me my father has just died in hospital, and simultaneously hearing my grandmother wail in the kitchen as my grandfather tells her the same news.
The older I get, the more I think this explains a lot about me.

3 For every day of 2020, you will be required to wear a t-shirt with the same one word on it. What word will you choose?
This is a dumb question and I’m not answering it.

4 What one thing are you looking forward to in 2020?
My trip to Scotland!

5 What’s your favorite way to spend a Sunday morning?
Under a blanket with a book or an episode of CR and a cup of tea

( Jan 6-31 under the cut )

This is that 50 question meme going around. A proper update is coming soon, this is just me entertaining myself.

( 50 questions and answers )

I. Meme from

penny_lane_42

Give me a text (book, TV show, movie, etc.) and I will tell you what I would have done differently if I had written it. Not little details, necessarily, but big plot or theme or characterization choices.

Please leave stuff for me to answer because I am having a not-fun day of anxiety and would like to think of something that will not lead to panic attacks. Thank you. :)

I. I've rewatched Being Human S1 and it's still stunning. I'm enjoying the current season too, though I miss the sense of family the original OT3 had. I know it's the point that the new one isn't as close but I don't like it. And I didn't really enjoy the last episode much at all (maybe because of that?). But the episode before that was very funny and made me warm up to Hal a lot.
I'm also still watching The Vampire Diaries, Parks and Recreation, Shameless US and Smash. I never talk about those because I hardly have any feelings on them, but I feel like I should mention I'm still watching them? :P

II. In real life, not much is going on that's even remotely interesting. I'm trying to get it together and plan for the future and work hard etc but you know. I'm me and it could be going better. I'm making an effort though, and I only have 9 hours of class each week AND decided not to take a weekend course thingy I wanted so I could focus on the work I have to do. Hopefully it'll work out.

III. Some excellent questions that

space_dementia6 asked me for that one meme that's been going around:

( Belgium, movies, music, and tv )

I. I'm rewatching Luther for the third time right now, and you probably don't know this about me but this is a big deal. I don't generally rewatch episodes at all. Sometimes when something is really good I'll watch it again the next day and sometimes I rewatch my favourite episodes but not a lot. I don't think there's any episode of anything I've seen more than 4 or 5 times, and those are very rare. It's the same with movies, really, but there are more exceptions there (I think I've seen Moulin Rouge 20 times or so).
I do rewatch scenes a lot though. The record is probably joint between the reunion in The Stolen Earth (one of these days that Dalek won't appear!) and that one scene in the Life on Mars finale. You know the one.

All this to say, the things I do for Ruth Wilson's face and Idris Elba's voice are getting ridiculous.
I've talked about this show on Tumblr before, but not on Lj - despite the fact that I changed my default icon to the cutest psycho on tv ages ago. Basically, I have a complicated relationship with ir, because I don't even like the plots in this show! And Alice is in like one scene in most episodes. But I'm still rewatching the whole thing! So I guess this is also me telling you to go and watch this show. It's cop drama but if you watch selectively, like I do, it's about good vs evil and grey morality and sociopaths in love. :D Only 10 episodes so it's worth it.

II. In sort-of related news, I bought the Being Human boxset with all three seasons for 21 € on Play.com - they even deliver for free in Belgium! So I'll be rewatching that, probably.

III. The Vampire Diaries this week was all about how pretty the cast is and how everyone has chemistry with everyone, right? All it missed was Katherine, but I say that every week.

IV. Leave me a character and I'll tell you my top 3 ships for them.

I.Pick up the nearest book to you.
Turn to page 45. The first sentence describes your sex life in 2012.

I was doing this meme for the hell of it and wasn't gonna post it but:
"This model was not promiscuous, but neither was it wholly monogamous". DEAR LORD. I kind of hope this comes true.
(it's from the bio Young Romantics. I've only just started reading it so I don't know the context, which only makes it more hilarious)

II Because I have been reading fic as procratination, and that fic is mostly Sherlock and a regression to Doctor/Rose; a Sherlock and Doctor Who meme, from

mrv3000

( Sherlock vs Doctor Who )

III. I had my last exam today and it went really well! It was the same professor as my other exam and at the end of both he said it had been good, which is really nice of him because it means a lot less anxiety. Now I only have to worry about the papers I handed in, and I was pretty pleased with them myself.
Classes start again in two weeks, so I plan to use the time to work on my thesis (and celebrate my birthday :D).

New Year's Resolution 1: make more posts, be it on Lj or on Tumblr :)

So yesterday Sherlock started again! I shall start with the non-spoilery stuff I liked so that if you are a huge fan you can read this and smile and move on without clicking the cut to read the spoilery stuff I hated. :)

Non-spoilery things I liked:
The way this show is filmed is stunning, and so is the music. Top quality and very enjoyable to watch!
It had some really funny moments. It also had some great exploration of Sherlock's humanity and the limits of it, and very interesting tidbits about the Holmes siblings. I really like their dynamic and their similarities.
The acting was flawless as always.

( spoilery things I didn't like )

And now for something completely different:
( Book Meme! )

I like end-of-the-year lists so I expect this is the first of more to come. I'll definitely make a personal Best Of 2011 later, like I did last year.

( My year in fandoms )

I'll already wish you all a very happy New Year. I'm going to the seaside for the evening with some friends,we'll have a party and watch the fireworks and go back in the morning. :)

I. Meme me please :D List of my fandoms/shows I watch is HERE

(I've done this kind of meme lie 5 times already but I love them)

II. Only one more week of class and then IT'S CHRISTMAS :DD Looking forward to it! I usually celebrate christmas eve with my mum and then christmas day with the family, but because they're still not talking to each other we're probably spending the day at my mum's boyfriend's house (which means I have to get him a present and I have NO IDEAS).

And then for New Year, I'm home alone for a week, which will be a bit weird because it's a week where I won't really go out much because of studying so I will hardly see any people. I don't have any plans for New Year's Eve yet but I never really do much. On the other hand I don't really fancy spending it alone with my cat so I'll maybe invite some friends over or something...

III. Parks and Recreation and Leverage are still the two best things on television and make me so damn happy on a weekly basis. I hope you are all watching these shows because I will keep telling you to until it happens. :)

1. Pick 16 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb (or Wikiquote) and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it correctly and the name of the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb/Wikiquote search functions.

I've tried to pick somewhat well-known and mostly (but not all) recent movies, AND I obviously only picked quotes in English (which helped to narrow down the choice :D)

1. But I got a word of warning for all you would-be warriors. When you join my command, you take on debit. A debit you owe me personally. Inglorious Basterds, guessed by

sunnytyler001

<2. Purple in the morning, blue in the afternoon, orange in the evening. Requiem for a Dream, guessed by

hanelissar

3. Kiss me. Kiss me as if it were the last time. Casablanca, guessed by

mizzy2k and

sunnytyler001

4. I married you even though I didn't love you. But you knew that. Aren't you as much to blame for what's happened as I?The Painted Veil guessed by

hanelissar and

sunnytyler001

5. The story can resume. The one I had been planning on that evening walk. I can become again the man who once crossed the surrey park at dusk, in my best suit, swaggering on the promise of life Atonement, guessed by

sunnytyler001

6. Listen kid, I'm not gonna bullshit you, all right? I don't give a good fuck what you know, or don't know, but I'm gonna torture you anyway, regardless. Not to get information. It's amusing, to me, to torture a cop. You can say anything you want cause I've heard it all before. All you can do is pray for a quick death, which you ain't gonna get. Reservoir Dogs, kindof recognised by

swift_tales

7. Are you trying to save my soul?The Fallguessed by

mizzy2k and

penny_lane_42

8. A few times in my life I've had moments of absolute clarity, when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be. A Single Man guessed by

sunnytyler001

9. What do you see when you look at me? A grumpy old man who never answers questions? Who mixes everything up? Who's kept busy by getting his meals? That's not me. Me... I wear shorts. I'm nine years old. I can run faster than the train. I can't feel my aching back anymore. I'm fifteen. I'm fifteen and I'm in love. Mr Nobody, guessed by

indybaggins

10. Listen, if somebody gave me the choice right now, of to never see you again or to marry you, alright, I would marry you, alright. And maybe that's a lot of romantic bullshit, but people have gotten married for a lot less. Before Sunrisen guessed (kind of) by

breakattiffanys

11. Where is this love? I can’t see it, I can’t touch it. I can’t feel it. I can hear it. I can hear some words, but I can’t do anything with your easy words. Closer, guessed by

breakattiffanys

12. You'd better start believing in ghost stories, XX. You're in one.Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, guessed by

hanelissar and

sunnytyler001

13. I owe you nothing. And you are nothing to me. Thank you for curing me of my ridiculous obsession with love.Moulin Rouge!, guessed by

sunnytyler001

14. Y'all got on this boat for different reasons, but y'all come to the same place. So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything, I know this - they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin'. Serenity, guessed by

hanelissar and

penny_lane_42 and

sunnytyler001

15. Never judge things by their appearance... even carpetbags. I'm sure I never do. Mary Poppins, guessed by

mizzy2k,

johnmayergirl23 and

hanelissar,

johnmayergirl23 and

penny_lane_42

Give me a show or fandom and I will tell you:

+ Favourite female and male character
+ Favourite scene
+ Favourite ship
+ Unpopular opinion

Hello! Again it's been ages since I posted. I'm just not around Lj that much lately :/. I do spend a lot of time on Tumblr so if you don't follow me yet, I am here.

I don't have that much to report :P. Summerfilmcollege was lots of fun as expected! We watched a lot of movies ranging from great to incomprihensible. My favourites were Letter to Three Wives, A Zed and Two Noughts by Greenaway and Carravagio (starring a Sean Bean who looked just like Jaime Lannister, making for some bizarre twists in my mind).

The last few weeks have not been very eventful. I should be studying but predictably am reading fic and tumblring instead. I plan to start tomorrow though.

Tv-wise I have watched the first episode of The Hour and it looks like a lot of fun (starring Romola Garai and Ben Whishaw so not much could go wrong to begin with. STUNNING PEOPLE).
I am very slowly watching Six Feet Under - I started weeks ago and have only seen about 6 episodes. So I'll post a reaction maybe when I finish S1.

The show of my heart atm is definitely Leverage which everybody should be watching already because it is stunning in characters, funniness and continuity.

I am still reading A Storm of Swords. Loving it lots more than CoK, and I can't wait to finish it :D

II.Meme because who am I and what is Lj for? :) My fandoms can be found HERE.
Give me a fandom and I will tell you;
The first character I fell in love with:
The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:
The character everyone else loves that I don't:
The character I love that everyone else hates:
The character I used to love but don't any longer:
The character I would shag anytime:
The character I'd want to be like:
The character I'd slap:

Top 5 Things I dream of doing in my life asked by

indybaggins
( click for my dreams~ )

II. I finished Game of Thrones (the novel)! LOVED IT! I'll pick up A Clash of Kings on Friday. I think I'll watch the show when I've finished the books though. Slightly too attached to the versions in my head at this point, even though some of my mental images of the characters were heavily influenced by pictures I'd failed to avoid.
( reaction with spoilers for the book )

III.I'm still doing the Top Five meme, but this has been going around again and more memes are always welcome:
Give me a fandom and I will post my unpopular opinions about it!

I. Top five foods asked by

slowdead

( pictures of food under the cut :D )

II. I've finished the first season of Skins and it was SO GOOD. Why is it British and stupid and only has 9/10 episodes a season? :(. I love all the characters very much. My favourite is probably Sid - and sometimes Tony but that is more love-to-hate. And love-to-stare-at because Nicholas Hoult has an impossible face.
Also, they had an out-of-the-blue musical!moment singing Wild World and I think that fact alone made this one of the best seasons of tv I've ever seen. Musical moments always give me too many feelings.
I've started on S2 but I've already seen pieces of that out of order on tv, and I am leaving it alone for a while because the Sid/Cassie story line hits too many of my story squicks for me to watch while I am this attached to the show, if that makes sense. I'll watch it soon, though (but probably fastforward through some stuff).

III.I passed my theoretic driving test today! :D I had 47/50 (you need 41 to pass). So now I can start to learn how to drive. I see a lot of frustration and anxiety in my future.

I'm starting on those top fives today.

First up: Top Five Movies asked by

space_dementia6
( Pretty movies under the cut )

II. I've bought Game of Thrones and I'm really enjoying reading it so far. I will probably share my thoughts when I've finished. I'm trying desperately to avoid spoilers but it is actually quite hard. :/

III. And I've started watching Skins. Three episodes in and I really like it. But I've heard that gen2 is not good at all? Should I skip straight to gen3 or try it? Anyone have any advice?

Because this has been going around for while now and looks like fun:
Ask me my Top Fives! Of basically anything you want. I'll answer in a separate post.

Please ask me some, so I have something to look forward to doing when these three days in a row of exams are over. I'll need it :P

I. Hi!! It's been a while. I'm in the middle of exams. It's not going that well (shocker!) and I'm going a bit crazy over it. Because for once, it's mostly because I just don't have enough time. Not to say I don't also spend too much time on the internet (mainly Tumblr).

II.I saw the movie Garden State yesterday and was a bit disappointed by it, actually. Mainly because I know several people who love it so I was expecting a bit more than I got. Not that I disliked it either - it had some great bits like the screaming-in-the-rain thing, but idk. It felt like there was this emotional depth or this ~message on life that it was trying to bring across but every time it got close for me it just fell flat. And the ending was not what I was expecting either.
Still, it was cute and definitely had some moments that I loved.

III.I've finished S4 of The West Wing. (powering through very fast lately!). I've seen the first few episodes of S5 and I'm trying very hard not to look for differences in the writing, but I know I'm prejudiced because I know Sorkin left. So I'm not sure if I'm projecting or if it really is a lot worse, but so far I've really not been liking S5 at all.

The last time I talked about TWW was in the middle of S3, so I'll ramble out a few reactions to S3 and 4:
( Spoilers up until the S4 finale if anyone even cares )

IV. Five Questions from that meme, asked eons ago by

mollivanders
( another cut to spare your flist )

Comment with any ship (romantic or platonic or maybe even non-existent!) from a fandom that you know I have some knowledge about, and I will rant about aforementioned ship. This may be incoherent gushing or exclamations of disgust, depending on your ship of choice.

(doesn't have to be a ship I actually ship!)

I. It's the time of year of Season finales! The Chuck one was great, I thought. I am happy they got renewed, but I'm also happy it'll be the last season. It's getting slightly repetitive. But I still like it a lot and I still like Chuck/Sarah though I seem to be a minority. Chuck is one of those shows where I just see a lot of people having Opinions and Ships and Im sitting here in my corner of 'as long as they have wacky adventures I'm happy'. It's refreshing. See also: Community. I loved the Western episode, the Star Wars slightly less but that's probably because I'm not a Star Wars fan.

How I Met Your Mother is not a show I really love anymore, and I stop watching it regularly but there is always an afternoon I'm bored and catch up. And this season finale annoyed me by not giving us the mother again, but also managed to stir my buried Barney/Robin feelings. So I just know I'll be watching next season just to find out who the girl is. (I'm being vague because I don't want to spoiler cut for one sentence of himym because who even cares). But at least my thesis is finished and I'm confident it'll be good enough.

This week's Glee wasn't that great. ( I guess I need a cut after all. Spoilers for 'Funeral' )

II.Exams are coming up and we get no time off to study for them. I'm not feeling very confident about it all, because I have 7 of them, and not a very good schedule (I am especially dreading English Grammar because it is the third time I'm doing the exam and I don't know it any better than last time :/)

III.Music! Some things I have been liking recently: I bought 21 by Adele and while I was listening to it on my way home on my bike, I had a great moment when Hiding My Heart came on. It was the first time I heard this song and it almost made me cry. Which is awkward when in public (there were just a few people fishing in the river around though so it was okay :P). The whole album is great, actually.
I have also (belatedly) fallen in love with Florence & The Machine, mainly because of The Hardest of Hearts, which is amazing and beautiful and I will probably listen to it a few dozen times in the next few days.

IV.Name a fandom, and I will tell you a) my three favorite romantic relationships, b) my three favorite non-romantic relationships, and c) one character combination (either shippy or non-shippy) I wish got more attention in canon.

I. Questions meme!!
Comment with "Come at me, bro"
- I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
- Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
- Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

Questions asked by

space_dementia6 (like, a week ago but better late than never).

( About ME, starring Belgium, movies, dreams and minor spoilers for Being Human S3 )

II. You know how I always say I only watch Glee for the music, and the plot and characterization sucks but I don't care because I don't get attached to ships etc?
( cut for people who are VERY SENSITIVE about Glee spoilers - you know who you are. Just a cast spoiler for next episode )
