New icon, general stuff...

[shadowkat]

The new icon is to express my love for both vampires. I became fascinated with Angel in Innocence. And followed him to ATS when it premiered. Became fascinated with Spike in Fool for Love. Best vampires in fiction in my humble opinion.

Thanks to those who decided to attempt my memes.
Again the only rule guys is no bashing or criticizing of others choices. (And everyone followed that one - cool beans!) Oh don't worry about answering all the questions - if you read my responses you'll notice I didn't. And if you can't come up with ten? no big. Just enjoying reading the responses - learning lots of cool stuff.

gakked from anneth, the best episodes
of BTVS and ATS in your humble opinion, not favorite just the one's "you" think are critically the best. The you is important.


BTVS:
1. Innocence
2. Hush
3. Once More With Feeling
4. The Body
5. Becoming Part II
6. Restless
7. Conversations With Dead People
8. Selfless
9. Who Are You
10. Fool for Love

Honorable mention: Dead Things (was torn between this one and Who Are You), The Gift (which so beautifully ends the series that one almost wishes the series did end with the Gift) and Passion (which I recently re-watched tonight and does not have a flaw).

ATS
1. Five by Five
2. Darla
3. The Prodigal
4. Home
5. Sleep Tight
6. Deep Down
7. The Magic Bullet
8. Reunion
9. Reprise
10. Awakenings

Honorable mention: The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinquo (I enjoyed Destiny more, but Numero Cinquo was better written and filmed.)Soulless and Destiny (which may have been clunky in places but riveted me. ;-) )

(These are ones that I see really nothing wrong with)

Still trying "not" to dwell on my life or lack of it right now. Suffice it to say, am broke, dispirited, depressed, and worried. But hey, I handed in my marketing plan, that's something. Also applied to four more jobs this week. Yay me. Thinking about writing a post comparing Awakenings ATS S4 for Destiny ATS S5 to distract myself. Or maybe work on that fantasy novel I dabble on whenever I get depressed...no it's not associated with the stuff posted on my site, this baby will probably never leave my hard drive. ;-)

In that boat with you

Nearly broke, kinda depressed, worried and annoyed by parental nagging. Wanting a job but not wanting to work. Needing money but not really caring. And I haven't applied to any new jobs this week yet. I did last week, but that was last week. Plus, I got a killer headache. I never used to get headaches.

So yeah. Totally know how you feel. *mopes with s'kat*

Ah..misery loves company, except this boat feels as if it is sinking. Dang. Don't worry, trying to keep it afloat...

Yep have all the same symptoms. The tension headaches.
etc. I think it's not that we don't want to work so much as it's we want to do something we're good at and everything being offerred right now...isn't well that.
I feel as if I've got all this wonderful schooling and experience behind me - but no one will choose me to apply it. Ugh. Feeling a bit like Spikey hunting for that ring in In The Dark, bloody tired of hunting a job.

Oh off topic slightly - agree with you ATS episodes - found it much harder to limit it to ten best - I kept wanting to include ones that fit with other ones. I'm rediscovering a fondness for ATS watching the reruns on TNT. Never quite appreciated the humor of the Pylea arc until now. Methinks I'm just saturated on Buffy, finally got burned out on BTVS after seeing every episode six times. Also the last portion of S7 (episodes 10-22) disappointed me and left me unsatisfied, while the entire year of ATS S4 made me very happy.

Does that make us a Ship of Miserable Fools? BTW you can steer.

Write out your frustrations and let the time pass. Hopefully things get better for you soon.
