First I have a job. Yay!
I've been watching all my vids on DVD these days which is a lot of fun. I'm getting so excited about Vividcon! Reading some vid meta too in thinking about possible Premiere vids. I love the advice (from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sockkpuppett) about knowing the end of your vid. I have two vids that I know the exact clip I want to end on and in both cases I feel so much more confident and comfortable about how to vid it because I know exactly where I need to end up.
I've taken to staying up late searching and reading Jack/Irina fic. I found some long fic the other day and it was soooo nice. Everytime I read fic, I get super squeeful about them and listen to some ridiculously romantic music and it all makes me so happy. And then I watch the train scene in the Passage which is my all time favorite Alias scene EVER and it never fails to make my heart full. I laugh, I sigh, I love and wonder at my favorite family ever. Mmmm SpyFam. Also I can't help but watch all the Jack/Irina vids on youtube which can be iffy in quality but there are some that are unintentional wonderful Lord King Bad Vids and they make my inner 12 year old SO HAPPY OMG and are such a joy to watch. Cheesy transitions are my personal favorite hehe. The problem is at first I start out half laughing and then I start to believe and then I'm totally in love again. Oh, SpyRents.

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, or haven't blogged about recently, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on slash, favorite type of underwear, vidding techniques, etc.
Repost in your own journal if you are so inclined.
Pick a fictional character from a fandom and I'll answer the following questions to the best of my abilities:

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance or platonic)
6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?

It's so fun! I usually stay up til 3 or 4 AM now but it's nice to be cozy in bed and just read fic and get inside the stories. Yay fandom love!
Well there's not much to tell lol. I'm single and haven't been in love with anyone for two years. Mostly I'm not really in the place in my life for a relationship, I'd like to be more happy with myself and the way my life's going first. I do know what I'm looking for and it's kind of rare from what I've seen but I do hope to find someone someday. For now, I satisfy my romantic part of myself with fandom and I'm cool with that. Hopefully in a year or two I'll be looking for someone in California.
I knew you'd say that! :)
1) What is your opinion of this character? I LOVE Jack. I like how he's so controlled, how he's great at strategy, how he can take down people with his words and his badass spy skills, his love for Sydney who he'll do anything for, his social/emotional awkwardness, how he tries to be good with the darkness inside him, how he uses words and of course hot hot/sexy/cute he is.
2) Is he/she important to the general plot? Yes! In my opinion he is second only to Sydney and plays an important part in taking down SD-6, helping Syd and being involved in the Bristow-Derekvo-Sloane dynamics. I definitely think they could have used him a lot more; he should have gotten some more plots revolving around him.
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally? Yes in both cases. I relate to his social awkwardness, the deep emotional love he has for his family (although in my case it's more close friends) and trust issues to a degree. I am deeply invested in Jack basically, probably the most of anyone in Alias because I care so deeply about the issues he has to go through and want him and Syd and Irina to be happy together.
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from? I love Alias although a lot of it centers more on the SpyFam than anyone else. But I do adore most of the other characters and enjoy the plot. And the fandom itself has been really great so far with lots of nice, smart and interesting people so that's great :)
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance or platonic) Obviously I am all OTP shippy with Jack/Irina and I *ship* Jack and Syd in a platonic way as they gave me the same squeeful feelings when they get great moments together. But I enjoy him with everyone, he makes everyone more interesting.
6) Is there anything about the character you would change? The end times infinity of course. Um...I wish he didn't shoot Irina and had looked into it more before he did but I get he has issues so it works for me. Mostly I'd just give him more screentime/plots.
7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc) I think it'd be kind of awkward and he'd be pretty formal with me. If I could get him to open up, talk about his family maybe we'd be friends (or at least I can dream...).
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites? Well he's my favorite in Alias and top 10 favorite characters so yes, he makes the cut.
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom? HYPE so much. SpyDaddy is definitely one of the best reasons to watch Alias.
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase? He seems to be fairly popular and most people seem to love him although it seems previously the Syd/Vaughn/younger people focus didn't give him as much time but I just recently got into the fandom so I don't know much. How can you not like Jack is my question.
