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:
1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
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?

no subject
1) What is your opinion of this character? I loooove Michael. I adore him so much. I don't agree with some of the things he says or does but I understand them.
2) Is he/she important to the general plot? Michael IS the plot. At least for me, that's why he's the main character and I take issue to the people who say Jim and Pam are really what the show's about. They react to Michael (and Dwight) who are the main storylines and form a lot of the conflict and action in the show.
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally? I relate to Michael a lot which is a big reason why he emotionally gets to me. I relate to his enthusiasm and childlike wonder, that innocence about him. I also relate to his lonliness and how he tries so hard to make friends and cares so much about his Office family even when they don't seem to pay much attention him (no matter how hard he tries ;)).
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from? I LOVE The Office which is why it's my #1 all time favorite fandom. The show is just perfect for me, I relate to everyone, laugh so much at it and it charms me to pieces not to mention I think it's brilliant. I wish the fandom itself would focus less on Jim/Pam/JKrasinski but most people seem great for the most part.
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) I ship Michael with Jan especially pre-Women's Appreciation but I do love their relationship after it as well. I really do think they fit together well now and support each other emotionally. I love his friendship with Dwight and the power issues inherent in it, his wanting to be like Jim friendship with him, his almost parent-child relationship with Pam, his boycrush on Ryan and his relationships with everyone in the Office. I'm interested in all his relationships basically.
6) Is there anything about the character you would change? I wish he'd be a little bit more self-aware sometimes and not be so...politically incorrect let's say but that's part of his character so he can't change too much.
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) Well I think he might make fun of me a bit as he does with most everyone but once he saw that I wanted to be his friend and liked him for who he is I'd hope that he'd be friendly with me.
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites? Yes, favorite on The Office and in my top ten list of favorite characters.
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom? Well I'd say that Michael can be very lovable once you understand him and care about him but he can say things aren't PC or particularly sometimes but he doesn't really mean them.
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase? Well...it seems like people like Michael but obviously not as much as Jim and Pam and Dwight and some really don't like things he says or does. Thankfully I've found some other Michael lovers though.
