Sometimes you need to wallow...

[castalie]

Which actually doesn't have anything to do with the content of this entry or the way I feel but Wesley cracked me up when he said it, so there.

Speaking of which, two random and --let's be honest here-- quite pointless facts about Angel:

#1- The Cordelia-Wesley-Gunn Team? Is so very perfect and cute - I love it to pieces.

#2- Going from S4 to S2 is really quite the experience. Watching Wesley in particular since huh... it's like day and night. It can't be helped though since I buy the sets I can find, you know, and there's no way I can wait, so as soon as I get my hands on a new season, I just watch it, which makes for some nice moments - though technically I saw most of the series in order, I just have some half-seasons to complete. But I'm getting there and I might even own the four complete seasons before the fifth comes out here on in March *crosses fingers*

Hey, my last class of the day was cancelled - on the first week of the new semester, too, isn't that sweet? *g* So I came back home with a smile plastered on my face because hey, that's always nice when you can go home sooner than expected. And to celebrate the fact that I was on weekend earlier, I geeked myself out and coded some new stories for the ST archive --we're slowly getting there, guys-- and decided to post my two latest Night stories at 852 Prospect as well. I mean, after doing it the first times I wrote responses for the ST challenges, I came to the realisation that I didn't like posting stories so short over there after all, but it's different here somehow, cause they're part of a series and my obsessive compulsiveness had some trouble with the whole there-are-two-stories-missing-omg thing! My subconscious can be such an ass *trails off* Or something *cough*

On a different note, I had some really cool fannish talks about both Lost and The Sentinel both on personal LJs and communities this past week and it's just grand. Being a fangirl is really a great thing... when you know how to avoid the wanks lol

And tonight? Nip/Tuck, yay! Am gonna have a little Lost marathon first... and then I'll turn to Nip/Tuck. Perfect *g* I love Me days - well, afternoon/night, whatever *is self-centered*

No wait! New Numb3rs tonight as well, right? Cause okay, I don't know when I'll get to download it, but that's still Numb3rs Friday, if I'm not mistaken, isn't it?

ETA: OMG! Canal+ is airing Fullmetal Alchemist! I can't believe I'm finally going to see that anime!

I'm just imagining going from bitter, angry season 4 Wes to crazy in love with Gunn season 2 Wes. That must have been quite a shock. I miss Wes/Gunn so much.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'm supposedly a Wesley/Angel fan myself - though to be honest, I'll admit that as far as Angel goes, I'm actually quite multi-OTPed since everything going with Wesley is good for me, but I started watching those episodes from S2 and suddenly I was like, OMG Gun/Wes is canon! It's beautiful to see, I second that.

And it could have been even more shocking if I hadn't see anything in order and if I hadn't seen the progression from cutedorky!Wes to angrybitter!Wes in any way, but even then and knowing everything I know... it's still quite the experience, wow.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Okay, here's my secret... I'm a Wesley hater. I know. Shun me. Throw things at me. My heart is black and cold :) But for some reason, when Wes is with Gunn, I can love him, and the things that I hate Wes for have more to do with Gunn than anything else. In season 4 when has is whole "My throat was slit and all my friends abandoned me" line, I got so mad at Wes because Gunn just looked so devasted and hurt. Their love for and friendship with each other in season 2 was so pure and good and lovely and I totally (and most likely unfairly) blame Wes and his poor me, I must suffer and be a martyr complex for it dying.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

The day I'll decide to be a complete twat and I'll start defriending people, I'll take your Wes hating as reason to cut you off *takes notes*

But since that day hasn't come yet, I guess I'll still talk to you? lol That line was great, I loved it and yes it really hurtful, but I couldn't get mad at Wes --though I really like Gunn too-- because it was something that I could understand. Not that it was fair of him, but I could see it, because when you're hurting so much yourself and you're angry at the world and angry at your friends and you feel you've been betrayed by the ones you love the most, there's one thing that you can do and it's lash out. And it's hurtful and it won't solve anything but damn, you needed to just say it, you know? So when he pulled that shit on Gunn, I couldn't really feel hurt on Gunn's behalf --though I saw that too, eventually-- but all I saw was Wesley's pain.

But from your Wes/Gunn POV, I definitely can see why you would put the blame on Wes, anyway. I mean, even if you didn't like his character in the first place anyway *g*

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Occasionally when we are bored my best friend and I will start having the whole "who is to blame in the whole Wesley mess" discussion. We've had the arugment so many times that I think we know each other's parts, but we still do it. We'll be discussing something else entirely and a "Wesley's a bastard" will just slip out and off we go. It's fun, in a very, very disturbing kind of way.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

LOL We have the strangest occupations with our best friends, sometimes it seems. Thank God they're here *g*

[sori1773.livejournal.com]

but that's still Numb3rs Friday, if I'm not mistaken, isn't it?

Ahhh...I love Fridays. Well, and I hate them because tomorrow and Sunday I'm going to be on a download frenzy since I can't possibly tape all the shows I watch. Stargate, BSG, Numbers, Medical Investigation... *BG*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Seems like you'll be busy indeed *g* The job of a fangirl is never done, is it? lol

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

Canal+ is airing Fullmetal Alchemist! I can't believe I'm finally going to see that anime!

Yay! It's dark, angsty and humorous... you will love it, I am sure ^_~!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I missed the pilot unfortunately, but I caught the second half of the second episode, so I'm rather proud of myself lol And said second episode really intrigued and pleased me. I think I'm going to follow it religiously. Well, tape it religiously too, cause I'll have some classes at the same time, but I don't want to miss the rest *g*

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

I missed the pilot unfortunately

I can upload the first two episodes to yousendit, if you would like??

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but I think it'll be okay. Though I reserve the right to change my mind later because you never know-- Okay no wait, I'll take the pilot after all, cause there's no way to know when they'll do a rerun so huh... am chaging my mind already *facepalm*

Thanks!

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

*grins* So that's a 'yes' then??

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's a 'yes', thank you lol

[aswanargent.livejournal.com]

"Me days"? What a wonderful idea. I think everyone should be entitled to at least one or two of these every month.

Now, I notice that your birthday isn't listed on you bio page. How about sharing it? (Otherwise how will I know when to waft birthday wishes your way?)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Me Days are essential for one's peace of mind, I think *g* I'm with you on that one, everyone should have those on a regular basis *nodnod*

Maybe I should put back my birthday on my info page. I don't even remember when or why I deleted it. Anyway, it's May, 27th *g* And since it's a story I really like, I'll also ramble about how my actual birthday was on a Sunday, May, 27, which was Mother's Day - I just love that story lol

And thanks for the thought btw *g*

[aswanargent.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'll add that to my Important Dates to Remember list (just as soon as I can locate it ...). My plan this weekend is to stay home and gorge on Oz Season 4. Maybe I'll do some housecleaning every few episodes when I feel the need to decompress.

Yes, you should add it back. Enquiring minds want to know, don't you know ;-)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

You're sweet *g*

That sounds like a lovely Me Day. Well, lovely in an Oz kinda way, but still *eg*

One should always have a thought for enquiring minds, I agree lol

[audrarose.livejournal.com]

*is self-centered*

That totally cracked me up, I don't know why. *is very amused*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I someetimes get amused by the most mundane thing in someone's entriy, so I can understand the sentiment lol

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

full metal alchemist!!! I'm teh jealous! why didn't my darn brother get a DVD burner for crying out loud...

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I squeed when I saw what it was. And sorry for teh jealous, but yeah, you can be *evil laugh*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

*stick tongue out* you meanie!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I actually started to upload the pilot for you - so who's mean, huh? Well, YSI is, actually, cause it crashed *sigh* It wasn't that big a file either, I thought it would be safe to go back there. Want me to try again? I know you're busy right now *g* But if you want, let me know, I'll gladly upload the file again, at STF this time *glares at YSI* FMA truly is a wonderful anime!

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I love you! *smootches*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

You're quite welcome *g*

[morningfine]

So I've been lurking your journal for a while and...

Canal+ is airing Fullmetal Alchemist! I can't believe I'm finally going to see that anime!

It's the awesomest ever, especially when you get to episodes 15+. If you miss eps or get impatient or what have you, I can AIM you whatever you wish. I'm all for pimping FMA to everyone everywhere and everywhen!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh I have lurkers too, yay! lol

I'm so impatient to see more of that anime because everyone is raving about it. And thanks for the offer! I'll remember that *g* And just a note, did you ever try YouSendIt [or SendThisFile for that matter]? Cause it's even better than using AIM, ie people don't have to be connected at the same time to send/receive the file. I'm using it all the time - my friends as well, which makes for nice episodes/songs trades *g*

[morningfine]

I use YouSendIt all the time for smaller files like music, but I switched to AIM for bigger files simply because YSI sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, and I hate having my upload or download break after two or three hours when there's probably ten minutes left to go. That's happened a few times too many. Oh blah.

But I'm willing to try it again ^__^.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I used to use YSI even for bigger files but the past month YSI turned into my worst enemy and I've turned to STF only. Definitely less downloads allowed since it's 3 v --around-- 25 on YSI --if the bandwith isn't killed before, granted-- but if you want to share the file with just one or three persons, it's perfect. It never crashed once.

[ninkasa.livejournal.com]

OMG! Canal+ is airing Fullmetal Alchemist! I can't believe I'm finally going to see that anime!

*tacklehug & glomp* YAY!! *is thrilled whenever someone I know becomes interested in Hagaren. . .err, FMA. Whatever.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Oh I'm more than interested in that anime, believe me. I'm truly hooked. It's just brilliant... but so bloody sad! Can't wait to see the rest *g*

Also, do you sometimes have a fandom/show/anime that you associate with someone on your flist? You'll hear about it, watch it or whatever and you'll think of that user, even if just for a second? Well to me FMA is definitely associated with you, so when I saw it was airing, I immediately thought about you. That just struck me as funny *g*

[ninkasa.livejournal.com]

You mean like how I always associate "Lost" with you? :-P And apparently, cabari thinks of me whenever she sees anything anime oriented.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

You associate Lost with me? This is cool lol I actually wonder sometimes who associates what with me - I mean, I 'play' that game myself obviously, so I'm just curious about whether others do it too. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity a bit *g*
