apocalypsos | (no subject)

I realized this morning I didn't even answer my own question from yesterday ... you know, the fandom question. So, just 'cause --

Lost: Oh, I would so be the one most likely to be DOING SOMETHING. First off, once I got over the shock of the airplane crash (because frankly, an airplane crash would probably freak me out more than anything else on the planet if I were involved in it -- I hate planes), I'd dig out one of my notebooks, since I never go anywhere without a large notebook or three small ones, and I'd start making lists. Food, clothing, shelter, and water, and where we could get it. What skills everybody on the island possessed, including who knows how to handle electronics and who's knowledgeable about sailing. Get the sailors together with Michael (who might tell him that that flat raft is a dumb idea in the rough South Pacific, especially if they don't bring someone with them who can fish, and there's only one of them on the island successfully fishing and providing protein for everybody else). Get people training to fish with Jin or hunt boar with Locke (none of this only-hunting-with-Boone shit). Organize people to build huts, since it's a crime that Gilligan's island has more and better shelters than that one. Then get the best and the brightest on the island -- teachers, scientists, etc. -- to figure out what the fuck is going on.

I wish I could say I would be chasing after Sayid or Sawyer or hanging out with Hurley and Charlie (oh, you have no idea how much I wish I could say that), but instead I'd be so anal about surviving in a disaster situation everyone would be driven nuts. (And they'd probably STILL consider Jack the leader. Bah. Ungrateful future jungle monster food, the lot of them.)

Buffy: Well, I'd probably be another student at UC Sunnydale who went to explore the Wiccan meetings and realized like Willow and Tara that they were a crock. I'm guessing I'd be sort of their hetero tag-along, and considering my dating history would presumably turn into Xander's fall-back girl after he and Anya broke it off.

Desperate Housewives: Honestly? I could totally see myself in a Borders or something just wandering through the place randomly like I do sometimes soaking up the vibe (BOOKS EVERYWHERE! WHEEEEEEE!) and run into John in the kids's section, buying up a bunch of baby books and toys and stuff after Gabby tells him she's pregnant and it might be his. And then I'd help him shop, 'cause books, yay! :)

Firefly: With my luck, I'd be an old acquaintance of Wash's who used to work with him and had a huge crush on him, with my addiction to redheads flaring to life. And then we'd run into each other, I'd find out he was married, and I'd be bitterly disappointed until I met Zoe and realized that there was no way I could beat that.

Dead Like Me: I'd so be a Reaper who got transferred in to work with the gang, and ended up mostly tagging along after everybody else watching people die. Because seriously, those were some amusing deaths, y'all.

Law and Order: SVU: I'd probably be a witness. One who comes and goes in one scene. I mean, I love that show, but here's hoping I never ran into those people in my life. GYAH.

Terminator: Oh, you just know I'd be one of John's lieutenants. Well, really. I'd find my way to the West Coast somehow, damn it.

Today's pointless question, since I think I've done one a day the past few days ... you know that website that gives you random facts about Vin Diesel? Well, give me random facts about other celebrities. Pleeeeeeeease? :)

Wheeeeee. It's so pretty out. And all it does is remind me that I need to exercise. *sigh* Is it the weekend yet? Now that my parents aren't coming in, I just want to curl up in front of the computer or head off to Starbuck's and work on the monster ficathon entry of doom (still holding steady at 3,000 words, mostly because I haven't gotten to work on it again yet). Also, I still have to finish my Volcano summary for

plan_9_from_lj. Hell, what am I saying? I still have to START my Volcano summary.

EDIT: TAR looks like it's going to be awesome tonight. Especially since I went to double-check when it's on tonight on the CBS website ('cause I'm a dumbass) and read that somebody's getting Yielded tonight. Also, there was a whole bunch of discussion on the TWoP boards about the fact that it looks like the oldsters and Uchenna and Joyce get to the double-decker buses when the street lights are still on and it's pretty light when Team America, Fuck Yeah and Romber are there when it's pretty light out. So either U&C and M&G get there early or late.

And speak of the devil, they just played a promo with more clips from tonight's show. They show Rob and Amber making a huge gamble (whatever that's supposed to be), Amber with a Sherlock Holmes pipe (okay, HEE), the teams having to go up in the Millennium Wheel thingy (I think that's what it's called) to look for clues (which won't do Meredith and Gretchen any favors), and then the announcer mentions something about Beatles albums, they show the Abbey Road crosswalk, and Joyce says, "I don't know any Beatles albums." AWWWWW. *hugs her*

Yes, I'm a huge yammering geek about this show. Sue me. :)
