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?
New How I Met Your Mother on Monday YAY! I am so glad my shows are slooowly coming back. I really can't wait til April though. Thursdays will be so much better when I have The Office, Ugly Betty, Scrubs, 30 Rock, Grey's Anatomy and Supernatural all back on one amazing night.

no subject
2) Is he/she important to the general plot? Well she didn't have a big role sadly but she was important to the Jack and Sydney and Irina storyline which makes her a big part of Alias for me.
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally? It's hard for me to figure out exactly who she is so this hard but I relate to her having a little fun with the spy stuff and thinking Jack is sexy ;) Her stories about the past to Nadia affected me emotionally, I wish there was more family stuff so I could have felt this way more.
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from? Repeating myself here but I love Alias a lot, the SpyFam parts to all time favorite TV shows level but as an entire show it's still one of my favorites. And the fandom is wonderful :)
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) Not really although I do enjoy Katya and Jack but mostly in relation to the fact that Jack has a thing for Derevkos and can't help seeing Irina in her.
6) Is there anything about the character you would change? More screentime!! I can't remember well but it seemed the whole shooting Syd at the end of S3 didn't make much sense or seemed a little "she's EVIL" thing.
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 we would have more of a friendly rivalry especially if she found out I supported her sister more ;) But it'd all be in good fun.
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites? Not my all time favorites but in my top 10 Alias characters certainly.
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom? I'd say Katya certainly adds another dynamic to the Bristow-Derevko dynamics.
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase? Um...I really don't know. Kind of, maybe some Jack/Irina shippers wouldn't like her I suppose and some people think she might be too *bad* but I'd think most people would enjoy her.
Oh fics from all over the place, I'm mostly going from recs I find on google.
