Just the Facts
Name: Michelle
Age: 22
Location: Orange County, CA
Other Places To Find You: tumblr
Stuff You Like
Current Fandoms: Parks and Recreation, The Good Wife, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Castle, Community, Glee (I both love it and hate it), Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, Gossip Girl (only for Dan/Blair), Cougar Town, Chuck, Fringe, Haven, Happy Endings, Luther, Mad Men, Miranda, Parenthood, Shameless (US), and The Vampire Diaries (and I watch some other things as well, but I don't talk about them as much).
Past Fandoms: Veronica Mars, Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse, Arrested Development, Better Off Ted, Dead Like Me, Farscape, Felicity, Friday Night Lights, Gilmore Girls, Greek, Lost, Battlestar Galactica, The O.C., and Wonderfalls.
Which New Fall Shows Are You Most Excited About? None of them really look outstanding, but the ones I think have the most potential (or I'm at least hoping will be good) are Up All Night, The Secret Circle, Ringer, Pan Am, Hart of Dixie, Terra Nova, Suburgatory, and Once Upon a Time.
Most Obscure Show/Celebrity/Book/Movie/Musician You Love: One of my favorite movies is Chungking Express (1994), which most people seem to have never heard of.
Randomness
Last Book You Read: A Dance with Dragons by George R. R. Martin
Fictional Characters You Over Relate To: Annie Edison, Britta Perry, Jaye Tyler, Alicia Florrick, Peggy Olson, Georgia Lass, and Miranda Hart.
Tell Us About One Non-Fannish Thing You’re Into: Music; I play 4 different instruments and used to go to loads of concerts.
You Are Passionate About… television, feminism, shipping, my family/friends, psychology/mental health issues (I was a psych major), and coffee.
Important Stuff:
Tell Us About Your Journal: My journal is actually like 99% unlocked so you can probably see what it's like, but it tends to be a mix of fandom squeeing/television reactions and stuff going on in my life, although right now my life is super boring, so it's leaning much more towards fandom stuff at the moment. I occasionally picspam stuff. I tend to capslock a lot, although I normally try to make the things I post mostly coherent. I tend to be devoted to a bunch of different fandoms. There are a few that usually greater in my heart (right now that would be Parks and Rec, The Good Wife, and Game of Thrones), but I talk about most things I watch, and I watch a lot of stuff, so I tend to post about different things. I usually latch onto one ship in a show and don't multi-ship very well (although I'm getting better at that!), but I never bash people for shipping different things; I try to be as respectful as possible of other ships (although that doesn't mean I won't point out things that I find flawed about ships/characters I don't like).
Fannish Pet Peeves: People who bash others for what they ship or what characters they like. Also, perpetuating the various -isms, particularly hate for female characters for no real reason and slut shaming.
Anything Else:

OMG I love Chungking Express! I love Asian cinema in general.

ah, awesome, someone who's seen it! Sadly the only Asian cinema I've seen is Chungking Express and Oldboy (which I also loved), but I definitely plan to watch more. I really just need to watch more foreign films in general.

Also, I saw that we have quite a few fandoms in common, and you love classic movies and award shows. Friends?

We have so many things in common (and I'm totally obsessed with TGW at the moment). Friends?

So you seem fabulous and you could probably encourage me to finally get off my butt and watch The Good Wife and we have lots and lots in common and I think we should be friends~

[http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/]

aw, I'm flattered you think I seem fabulous! Absolutely, I'll go add you now! :D (And YES watch The Good Wife! I basically just want everyone in the world to be watching it because it's wonderful.)
