This and that; butter wank; OTP meme

[misscam]

Have recieved a job offer which involved me getting a police testimony today, confirming I have no criminal record. It's a bit weird having a stamped paper saying you're not a criminal, must admit. First time I've ever had to get that. And this job could spin my life in a slightly new direction. Huh. I can't tell all about it yet, but it could be good, yes. We shall see.

Merlin has started to air on Norwegian television, and so far it's not exactly Arthurian legend as I remember it. It seems to simultaneous be on crack and just about to turn into an orgy. Even the dragon seems keen! This could possibly be a good thing. Possibly. Worth keeping an eye on, y/n?

Life on Mars season one is on rerun meanwhile, and reminding me I really liked this show. I never felt like doing fandom for it, but the show was smashing. Hard to predict sometimes what gets me fannish and what just gets me faithfully watching.

ohnotheydidnt have managed to find LJ's hereto unknown and undocumented cap of 16.7 million total comments before there's no more room in the dataspace to store them. I'm impressed.

Jessica Alba and TMZ seems to have a bit of a war over which country is the 'neutral' one and it involves taking pot shots at Sweden. Hey now, TMZ! Leave Sweden alone! We're the ones allowed to take pot shots at them. That's right. Norway. Don't be weaseling in on our territory. We will oil-smack your ass.

Wank about butter. As you do.

Pick up to 15 OTPs.
Describe them in less than 15 words.
Have your flist guess the OTP.
(In my case, many of these are more PPP.)

1. Wandering sewage drains can be hot. Complicated is the whole point. Fantasy lost. Catherine/Warrick, guessed by falena84.
2. Book by book, touch by touch, build love after the end of the worlds. Adama/Roslin, guessed by rivrea and skybound2.
3. Last word was his name; he had sailed away never to hear it. Frank/Rachel, guessed by lotus79.
4. She'd probably call him 'sir' in bed; still wouldn't be the weirdest thing about them. Lynley/Havers, guessed by falena84 and enchantedmoon.
5. She's something worth living for; twenty years the limit. Sheridan/Delenn, guessed by padawanpooh.
6. He would love her sorrowless, she loved him though he was no King. Faramir/Éowyn, guessed by rivrea and skybound2.
7. Issues, bad communication, silly hats, proposal among bees and even bugs in the jungle. Grissom/Sara, guessed by falena84.
8. Seduce him for a reason, fall in love despite it, be suprisingly fuctional against all. Sharon/Helo, guessed by falena84.
9. From ancient grudge break to new unity, where different races makes friendship true. Legolas/Gimli, guessed by rivrea.
10. Sam and Sam, friends to lovers to spouses to tragedy. Rita/Chris, guessed by enchantedmoon.
11. Break a heart in Norway, end up in the same place with one for keeps. Doctor/Rose, guessed by rivrea and longtimegone and skybound2.
12. Opposites attract, said the believer and the sceptic, and there's no global conspiracy denying it. Mulder/Scully, guessed by rivrea and longtimegone.
13. See the moon, inspire a sonnet, walk away without the boy: maybe time wasn't right. Doctor/Martha, guessed by rivrea and skybound2.

All those are right :)

[longtimegone]

11 is clearly Doctor/Rose :D

and 12 is totally Mulder/Scully. <33333333333333333

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Damn straight it is.

[skybound2]

1. Grissom/Sara (totally a guess, as I've never seen the show ;-P)
2. Adama/Roslin
5. Nine/Rose
6. Faramir/Éowyn
11. Ten/Rose
13. Ten/Martha

2, 6, 11 and 13 is right, but you're wrong on the others :P Though possibly you got a pairing right but a number wrong. Possibly ;)

[skybound2]

Hmm, I was going to make another guess for Grissom/Sara, but I would have been wrong ;-P

3. Sam/Frodo? (Totally a shot in the dark, as I have no idea if you ship them, AND I can't remember the book that well...)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

No - it's not a book, it's a TV show. You'd probably not know it. In fact, I'm pretty sure you don't.

I have occasionally liked obscure things ;)

[skybound2]

Obscure is good, nothing wrong with obscure :-)

[skybound2]

And yes, 12 is totally Mulder/Scully ;-P

Also: 9. Gimli/Legolas Just realized this was already guessed *is slow*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah.

Some of these are really obvious and several got them pretty fast.

[falena]

1. Catherine/Warrick, CSI
4. Lynley/Havers, Elizabeth George
7. Grissom/Sara, CSI.
8. Sharon/Helo <3

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed.

[enchantedmoon.livejournal.com]

4. Lynley/Havers

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yep.

[enchantedmoon.livejournal.com]

:)

Btw, I think Merlin is a show on crack. I meant to say this in my previous comment, but I hit the wrong key. Is it the greatest television program ever made? No. Is it lots of fun? I think so.

Hmmm...Is 10 Chris and Rita from Silk Stalkings?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Shows like that can be very nice at times too :)

YES. I was worried no one would get that. Mah first OTP, back when I was a silly teenager.

[trialia]

Um.

4 - Sam/Jack
8 - Caprica/Baltar?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Afraid not. But 8 was the right fandom - Helo and Athena, though.

[trialia]

Well, not far off. It could only be one or the other there. *G*

[claena1.livejournal.com]

I actually really like Merlin. But I don't expect it to follow any particular Arthurian Legend. Most people are familiar with the romances, but there are so many. It's like vampires... the fun is in seeing how the canon will be shredded, I think.

Oh and Arthur makes me purr... but we'll leave that before I show my fangirly ways.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there are many different versions of the legend and many different takes on it, I just hadn't seen one quite like this before ;) That can be a good thing too.

Eyecandy is always good, yes.

[padawanpooh.livejournal.com]

5 - Has to be Sheriden/Delenn

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Has to, and is :)

[padawanpooh.livejournal.com]

YAYS!!!!

Jessica Alba and TMZ seems to have a bit of a war over which country is the 'neutral' one and it involves taking pot shots at Sweden.

Yeah - this was a big deal over here because most of it was after she took some shots at Bill O'Reilly and O'Reilly sent one of his producers to ambush interview her.

I think she chose Sweden because O'Reilly has had a devil of a time getting his WWII history right.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Hah. Anyone taking shots at Bill O'Reilly gets my vote. Switzerland is definitely more known as 'enutral', but it's definitely not wrong to call Sweden so in a WWII context. As my own country likes to point out a lot. (Of course, Sweden's neutrality was of help to us at times - many who were fleeing the Nazis in Norway and Denmark went to Sweden, including Jews.)

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Noone was gonna guess #3 but me, LOL.

Frank/Rachel!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Just you, baby :P

[neadods.livejournal.com]

Good luck on the job!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

[chicklet73.livejournal.com]

I hope you get the job!
