80's children ALWAYS. You can take the girl out the 80s (and oh, I guess we are way out of the 80s now), but you can't take the 80s out of the girl! :-)

Yes, NEIL DIAMOND. I have pretty much been raised from birth with his music. My mom is a huge fan, and she passed it on to me.

Oh, and also? I must quote your profile and agree: "I love Dean Winchester." Dean Winchester is probably the reason I can never give up on Supernatural. Don't get me wrong, I do love the show, but some of the plots/what happened to some of the characters.... (Though I don't watch in real-time any more. I just buy the seasons on DVD, as they come out, and watch them in marathons. Though I'm a little behind. I have seasons 6 and 7 to watch, now that the holiday craziness is over.)

My mom raised me on Neil Diamond, too. We just saw him again this past July. And, I got a record player for my birthday last month and have been playing old albums of his from the seventies and eighties. Nothing like the crackle of vinyl. Lol.

I understand your SPN feelings completely. For me, the series could have ended after season five. I tolerated season six, but season seven is really trying my patience. I love Dean, and I love Castiel. But I can only be put through the Sam/Dean repetitive angst ringer so many times before I go numb. :-/

me, too! i had a few people come up to me at work and be all, "BUT IT'S NOT HARRY POTTER!!!" well...no. It's not suppose to be? I felt like smacking them, no lie.

friends? :D?

CABIN PRESSUREEEEE!! TIMBUKTU AIRS TODAY, I AM SO EXCITED

YES. LOKI IS TOTALLY WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT. ~coughs~ Hi. :D

HEY. HEY YOU. WE SHOULD BE FRIENDS OR SOMETHING.

I bet J.K Rowling feels like smacking people for the exact same reason ;)

Added you! :D

right? i almost feel bad for the poor woman.

added back! :D

Movie you are most looking forward to seeing this year: Not a movie person
Book you are most looking forward to seeing this year: I don't really follow the most recent book releases (just don't have the money), but I'm looking forward to finishing the Vampire Academy series this year. Does that count? xD
Tv Show you are most looking forward to seeing this year: Doctor Who!

Hobbies Reading, writing, watching TV, talking about TV
Favourite season Autumn
Favourite food Fries

What you are looking for in a friend: Someone who comments every once in a while
The optional gif part:

Definitely!

DUDE, WE SHOULD LIKE. TOTALLY BE FRIENDS. OR SOMETHING.

OMG WHY DIDN'T WE THINK OF THIS BEFORE??

I HAVE NO IDEA. CLEARLY THIS WAS LIKE. SOME KIND OF LACK OF FORESIGHT ON OUR PARTS

that first parenthetical phrase in what you're looking for in a friend is basically my entire DW lol.

also! LSP! she's my favorite.

Yeah, I was all /eyebrow/ at first about a Zombie ROMANCE. But the trailer does look amazing I have friends who wax poetically over the book whenever given the chance, sooo. XD Can't wait!

And yep, chances are. Hehe. Friends? :)

The book is kind of more and less disturbing than the premise at the same time? I don't think they're going to do some of the really gross stuff. But yeah. I was a little concerned for when the movie was being released in the States. January (and parts of February) are considered 'dumping grounds' for terrible/mediocre movies, and the Feb 1st release date makes me think that the movie is going to be terrible or didn't test well with audiences.

Friend-ed you!

Your name: wallflowerish
Age: 26
Location: An island in the Pacific Ocean.
Five things you think are awesome: internet, pit bulls (and just dogs in general), ripe persimmons, miniature versions of things, finding a pair of jeans that actually fit right.
Three major dislikes: motion sickness, crowds, irresponsible dog owners.

Current Fandoms: ASOIAF / Game of Thrones, Madoka Magica.
Past Fandoms: Too many to list. See my interests list.
Things you like about these fandoms: (ships, characters etc. etc.) I love a good story. ASOIAF - Arya, Tyrion, Brienne. Madoka Magica - the feeling of wanting to rip my heart out so I do not feel these feels anymore.
Note: I'm not really sure what fandom is. I think I just... like what I like? I don't read fanfiction or ship characters that aren't canon. I like seeing fan art when I come across it, and I like reading wiki pages. I don't have a fannish DW journal. The most I do is flail, claw at my face, roll around on the floor, and scream "I can't handle this!" at my husband, and then reblog a gif set or screencap on my tumblr.

Movie you are most looking forward to seeing this year: Star Trek, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
Book you are most looking forward to seeing this year: Lately all I've been reading is ASOIAF, so I'm not aware of any other books that are coming out.
Tv Show you are most looking forward to seeing this year: The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, Mad Men, Community (kinda sorta?), Parks and Recreation.

Hobbies ...internet?..., reading, playing video games, watching shows, hanging out with my fur babies (a dog and a cat) and my husband.
Favourite season Autumn, which I miss because we don't really have seasons where I live.
Favourite food Filipino food, ramen, french fries with fancy sauce.

What you are looking for in a friend: People who are cool beans. Similar interests is a plus, but it's not necessary. Someone I can actually get to know and be friends with.
The optional gif part:

I'd like to be friends - and I love the elephant gif lol.

Yay, I've added you to my circle!

I love elephants. Especially baby elephants :3

Yay added you right back. And elephants are awesome. One chased me once - I was in a safari truck though!

Mom and I have gone to (if I'm remembering right) 4 or 5 Neil Diamond concerts together, over the past 20 years or so! LOL. It's always a fun night. But damn concert tickets have gotten really expensive!!

Yeah, I have mixed feelings about SPN going past season 5. On one hand -- YAY -- I mean, it's SPN and it totally fills my Dean - fix. ;-)

But, on the other hand, the way Season 5 ended, wasn't so bad. I kind of liked the idea of Dean attempting to be 'normal'. That seemed ok. (Though I'm not sure the idea of him settling down with Lisa and Ben was ever terribly realistic, and the lack of Castiel wasn't so great, either...)

See, I think that's why I've been hesitating a little to watch Season 6 .... I just know it's going to be full of Sam/Dean angst, and that gets old. Poor Dean still having to sacrifice and suffer for the younger brother who ... well, fill in the blanks as needed. :-P Still, I think I am going to start working on watching season 6 & 7 soon, just because season 8 will be over in the spring/summer, and by September-ish it'll be out on DVD. (And I'll be further behind. LOL)

Ohh, I had no idea about that 'dumping grounds' thing. Here's hoping it'll be decent anyway. XD

Yay! :)

Those ASPCA commercials break my heart every time. I can't even look at adoption sites or classified ads without wanting to adopt ALL THE ANIMALS. I love dogs. What kind of dog do you have?

I think we have a bit in common (tea, books, dogs. i actually just joined a bible study too.), and I'd like to make friends with nice people and actually get to know them :) Friends?

I know - I'm a big supporter of animal welfare, I just don't want to have to hear about all the awful abuse/neglect every time they need money or want you to sign a petition...it bothers me for days!

I have an 11 year old Australian Kelpie. She's a nut!

I've added you - nice to meet you!
