Poll... pollity poll

I'm bored! Well, no it's not true. I'm procrastinating again. I always knew thought HMod would be hell to revise for, but damn, I hate being proved right! It's a nightmare... it's torture!

Anyway, to save my sanity - that is, if I even had any of my sanity left -- I decided to amuse myself, so I bring here my very first poll. Well, I told you I was bored procrastinating! And I never did one of those before, so why not now, right?

So

[Poll #298569]

Thanks for entertaining me your attention.

Uh, you know there are other pairings, right?

No, I didn't. Really, there are? Completely missed it. Probably in eps that I haven't seen yet.

Well, actually, I really hoped you would say this. So uh, thanks *relieved sigh*

{note to Mouse: there is no Brian and Michael. No really. NO REALLY. Ever.) *nods*

Brian loves Justin. Forever. He's just a dick sometimes because, well, he's a dick, that's how that works. Yes, Brian plus Justin forevah. La la la.

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2004-05-25 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
I'm beginning to realize yes. So far, everyone voted for Brian/Justin. The only two who voted for the third choice don't know the series so I guess it doesn't count? lol

And right now, I'm all for Brian/Justin, I have to admit so... *g*

[identity profile] nekosmuse.livejournal.com 2004-05-25 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
Actually, Mel and Lindsey are my second favorite pairing, but only because they're hot. Brian and Justin, guh, they're just so fucked up, it's adorable.

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2004-05-25 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sooooooooooo impatient to watch the episodes. The CDs some of my friends are going to send me won't ever get here soon enough lol

[identity profile] porntestpilot.livejournal.com 2004-05-25 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh sorry, it's just see, I'm psychopathic about them. I'll admit it openly. La la la, Brian and Justin forevah, la la la. We even have a club for it. A snotty elistist club, but still a club.

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2004-05-26 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Psychopathic is good, psychopathic is our friend. I know all about that little behaviour so huh don't apologize *eg*

[identity profile] fraught.livejournal.com 2004-05-25 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
Um, feel free to take this with a HUGE grain of salt given that I've only seen the first season -- but yes, B/J is where it's at. Definitely. And I'm the kind of person who *usually* goes for the long-lasting-friendship-turning-into-something-more type of relationships, so you know the B/J is *that* overwhelming. And hot. Rilly hot. Gale Harold and Randy Harrison have *amazing* chemistry together.

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2004-05-25 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
Okay so I'll take this with a grain of salt, but if you usually go for the long-lasting-friendship-turning-into-something-more type of relationships, and you still choose Brian/Justin over Brian/Michael it means there *is* something special about those two, yes. *Nice*!

I hear about their chemistry a lot-- and from the different vids and other clips I could see, well I can see where you're all coming from, believe me. Watching the whole thing for real should be such a blast *is impatient*

Oh yes, absolutely. It surprised me too, because I went in thinking I'd end up a Brian/Michael shipper *g*. I do like Brian/Michael and I've read a few B/M stories as well, but B/J is definitely my QaF OTP.

Watching the whole thing for real should be such a blast *is impatient*

*sniff* I only have season 1 and will probably never see the rest. No fair. Here in Holland, they did air all episodes of the UK version, but it seems like we'll never get the US version. I don't get why. We get all the other good HBO/Showtime shows like "Oz", "Six Feet Under" and "The Sopranos" (all really great shows as well), so why not QaF? It's not like we're not a gay-friendly country! :D

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2004-05-27 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
Weeeell, I should get some episodes of the seasons you didn't see, and if you want I could burn them for you? I'm warning you though, I don't know when I'll get them, so it could take a while...

They only air QaF US on the cable here, and of course I don't have it. I wish they sold the DVDs, which they don't, and I'm really not a happy camper. I did find another way to get them, but still...

It's not like we're not a gay-friendly country! :D

You can say that again lol

*clings to the Brian/Michael*

:3

Ahah I am the rebel!

What can I say, the B/J scenes are hot, but I've never been much for blondes. Justin looks good in the later seasons and such, but I still cannot get over this one scene early on where Brian and Michael were on the floor together.

Plus, the Hal Sparks Michael in my head is way more of a screamer.

*clings to the Brian/Michael*

Ah, so you exist! lol You're actually two in the B/M clan, but the other girl didn't vote so you couldn't see it. Though I guess 2 against 8 is still a minority? lol

And those two seem to have some awfully tender and cute scenes together. [livejournal.com profile] traveling_storm has been telling me everything about them lol So far all the pics or caps were of Brian and Justin, I wouldn't mind seeing some involving Michael, I mean, I'm not even sure I really know how he looks *gasp*

[identity profile] traveling-storm.livejournal.com 2004-05-25 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
*glomps Pond*

OMG you're a Brian/Mikey fan too! ^^ I knew from your GW and PotC work you have great taste, but this just clinches it. ^_____^

Though to be honest, blonde or not, Justin has never physically been attractive to me. Something about his jawline turns me right off. ^^

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2004-05-26 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Hey there, I was waiting for you to vote or express yourself here, girl. Defend your beloved pairing *g* And you're not even alone-- woohoo!

[identity profile] traveling-storm.livejournal.com 2004-05-26 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh there's lots of Brian/Mikey fans - we're just not as loud. ^^ We tend to get flamed a lot more then the BJ'ers.

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2004-05-26 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
*sigh* I hate those stupid flame wars between *clans* I'll never understand why people can't just live and let live-- don't they have even a brain?? And what about respect anyway?

[identity profile] traveling-storm.livejournal.com 2004-05-26 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
The thing is, I was understanding about the whole B/J thing - it does have one or two moments - but then I got ripped a new one by B/J fans which sent me straight into the arms of the B/M groups, who ironically enough, are more open-minded and haven't said a mean thing about Justin's character yet.

They must like having a rep, even though they don't seem to understand that none of this is actually friggin' real. ya know? They're CHARACTERS. *sigh*

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2004-05-26 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
It's just beyond me to tell the truth, all those flames over pairings or characters or whatever. I'm like, so yeah you like a character I hate and you worship a pairing I don't even *see*, but it's all right because it's called diversity of opinion, it's called having different taste and it's not a criminal offense-- what's the big deal you know? You would think we're an offense to everything they hold dear or something *sigh*

They must like having a rep

Sooo pathetic lol Well, at least we'll be able to talk over and over again about our favourite pairings even though they might be opposite in the end.

[identity profile] traveling-storm.livejournal.com 2004-05-26 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Opposite? OMFG, d00d, I am SO gonna flame you if you're into B/J. ^____^

U suk, Brain and Mikeal 4evah, Justin rox, nyah!

*is struck by lightening for committing such atrocities against the written word*


...owie....^^'

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2004-05-26 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
U think B/M iz hot? *U* suk so much, u fuckah! B/J iz teh real pairing!!1!1 Brian n Justin 4evah-- yayy!!1!1

...

Damn, talking like that isn't easy. How do they it? lol

[identity profile] traveling-storm.livejournal.com 2004-05-26 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
I have no idea. I think it has to do with IQ - if you're above a certain level, your brain automatically refuses to let you write like that, at least not without feeling some kind of mental pain.

....which explains so much about B/J fans. ^_^

Moi? Never. Perish the thought. ^^

[identity profile] katikat.livejournal.com 2004-05-25 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, girl. Now you have forced me to take interest in this series, too. Both of them. You´re a devil, you know that? I can see the little horns hiding in your hair! :D

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2004-05-26 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
I have really strong powers of persuasions, I know. I'm evil like that *evil laugh* Join us in the QaF madness, Kat, join us, you won't regret it! And you saw my little horns? Will have to hide them better from now on *eg*

And to help you, here some sites (though they're mostly for the US version, and really, I'd advise you to check out the UK one as well-- like you said, getting interested in both is just a very smart move *g*)

To start with, maybe a little detour at TV tome to check out both versions? QaF US (http://www.tvtome.com/QueerasFolk_US/) and QaF UK (http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-3309/)

A Million Times More (http://photos.brianlovesjustin.org/index.php?cat=0) where you'll find tons of screencaps.

Queer Eyes (http://www.queerasfolk.wiredhub.org/home.html) where you'll find just... beautiful things, caps, gallery, icons, clips (though the clips are down still, I'm afraid) vids...

And since you're over there, why not try Across the Pond (http://www.qaf-fic.com/index.php) to read fanfic too? UK and US version this time.

i love michael. i love brian-michael. but brian/michael is just wrong. for me anyway.

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2004-05-26 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
I'm really interested in their dynamic, I think I'll like the whole Brian-Michael thing and will get into Brian/Justin real quickly. That would be a nice combination somehow. I'll see *g*
