Peace and love to everyone on this day. Reading ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lissinthecity's post made me teary, and it's hard to believe that it's been two full years since it happened. Am not going to be sharing any 9/11 stories, as I was not at ground zero and I don't know anyone who was directly involved in the tragedy. So I'm going to leave the speaking to those the day really belongs to, and offer my quiet support to anyone who needs it. I can't forget that the things we have endured in human history goes far beyond 9/11, so I'll take this opportunity to say that to all those whose lives have been lost: You are remembered.

I am so geekily excited, because my favorite actor of all time -- Christian Bale -- is apparently the new Batman. Now, I'm slightly torn because I thought the Batman franchise was dead (and after the last few, think it should be dead), and I don't want him to be part of a sinking ship. The last I heard, he was also in contention to be the next James Bond (he's Pierce Brosnan's first choice to replace him), and I think that's a role far more suited to him. While I hate the thought of Christian in that ridiculous bat suit, Christian as Bruce Wayne ... Bruce Wayne is a quasi-American James Bond, isn't he? (He'd SO fit my BBBB preferences in that role. Yum.) Anyway, I hope being involved in another big franchise doesn't hurt his chances of landing JB. What's exciting is that the new Batman is not taking off directly after the last one -- it's dealing with Batman's early years, so that might be really, really cool. PLUS, the director is Christopher Nolan of Memento fame, and with so many quality people on board, I have high hopes. Thanks toropo for directing me to this news (because she knows of my great and t00by love for CB), which is on a temp page here: http://www.tvguide.com/news/entertainment/

My friends list has gotten unruly again. I cannot keep up with you all! Thus, I have had to trim my friends list once more. I knew I had to when I started missing posts that I really wanted to see. It's so not personal, it's not you, it's me, I'm lame, etc. I basically went by how much interaction I have w/ y'all, as I figure that makes the most sense. Feel free to defriend in return, as I imagine many of you could do without my prattling on and on, about, say, Christian Bale. :D When I have more time/get a handle on my life better, I shall no doubt be adding some of you back. Just right now ... my head is spinning. All my fic stuff, as well as 99% of other stuff, is public anyway.

A few discussions I've had recently have really made me interested in how my mind works and why I like the things I like. Specifically wrt ship preferences. So I'm going to start charting out what my ship preferences for various books/movies/TV shows are, and come back to it from time to time and see if there's a method to my madness. (Some of these will be from way back when, before I even knew what a "ship" was.) I don't think this will be of particular interest to anyone but me, but it might at least be mildly interesting to see whether we have similar taste or not, so I'm sharing. :D I hope I don't lose friends because of any disagreement here ... hee.
(I probably forgot some, so I will be updating this all the time. If you can think of any off the top of your head, feel free to smack me upside the head.)

Date: 2003-09-15 09:55 am (UTC)I'm so glad at least one other person shares my t00by preference wrt PH. I even started writing a story re: D/E, but never finished yet. Plan to finish it some day ... perhaps knowing that there's at least one other person out there who might possibly read it is the motivation I need. :))

Date: 2003-09-15 01:01 pm (UTC)As for A/C...well it is just so sad! Why couldn't they have gotten the pairing right!? Of course if they gave it to us, it would have ended up sick and perverse like B/S...but I like sick and perverse! Plus it was all Buffy's fault as she was in denial. I mean he freaking sacrificed himself for her! BUT Spike is going to be on Angel! W00t!

Date: 2003-09-17 04:13 pm (UTC)Actually, if they had really done C/A, I don't think it would have had to be sick and perverse like B/S. Angel has a soul, and Spike didn't when he was involved w/ Buffy. B/S was always meant to be destructive, whereas C/A was the opposite. However, the problem is that I'm convinced Mutant Enemy is just one big B/A shipper, and that's going to be the end result. B/A is their OTP.
