Part 1 here.



Whew.  I had no idea I've had so many ships.  Damn.  And now for the meme that grimorie and adlervan tagged me for:

1. List your top seven character ships
2. Put all of them in order of your love for them; 7 to 1, 1 being your main fixation.
3. Name the movie/show that they're in.
4. Supply photos for said people.
5. Tag seven people.

Refer to all the babbling above (and in previous post) for the pics/reasons why.  Keep in mind that my ranking changes with wherever my obsession takes me.

1. Do you know what's awesome? This completely unbiased review of BoB explained all the reasons why I am so in love with Winters/Sobel:


See?  SEE?  They were so irrevocably linked together and responsible for making Easy Company what it was.  Opposites inexplicably united together.  Immense hatred yet begrudging respect.  Loud and harsh vs. quiet and understanding.  Inflated ego and incompetence vs. humble and greatly skilled.  OH, HOW I LOVE THEM!  I need to watch ep 1 of BoB again.  I fail to see why there aren't more supporters of this ship.  It's like sacrilege to ship Winters with anyone but Nixon apparently.  That's what it seems like anyway.  And you'd think I'd like Winters/Nixon since I'm into soulmate slash ships, but they're a little too perfect, which bores me.  If they were a het ship, they'd be Jim and Pam.

Anyway, I don't know why I'm suddenly so passionate about Band of Brothers.  I think I'm just being super procrastinatey right now.  I've got so much crap that I'm supposed to do, and haven't done any of it.  Even fandom stuff.  And when I start procrastinating from fun fandom stuff?  That means I'm really getting disturbed by the chaos around me.  And my life really isn't that chaotic.  I just put every single thing off till the very last minute and then I burn out.  I have no idea why I do that to myself.

2. The Escapist is available for preorder OMG OMG OMG!!!!!  I want that movie SO HARD!  But it's too expensive for the small screen time that Damian has, so I'll try to restrain myself, or at least wait and see if the US dollar ever goes up in value so that I can afford it (psh, yeah right).  I'm looking into another job option though, and if I get it, I guarantee you that this will be my first purchase, because I have no will power.

3. Speaking of no will power, I gained back that three pounds that keeps going away and coming back again.  But we've been going off our diet like mad, so I'm lucky it's just that three pounds.  And I haven't been exercising as often either.  Today I decided to be lazy, and it's a beautiful day.  I used to never be able to resist the beautiful days.  So now I am hating myself.  I'm also hating myself for not doing all the crap that I'm supposed to be doing right now.  I am also feeling worthless because I'm having trouble finding a job that I want, and I hate myself for being so picky.  And I hate myself for not having the drive to finish school and be a teacher like I had originally planned.  I've actually been rethinking the whole teaching thing lately.  Maybe I should just go ahead and finish my Bachelor's, then get a teaching job.  The problem I have with teaching though is the homework.  Teaching consumes your life, and I just don't want that.  I also don't want to deal with the insane parents.  And I'm still pretty weary at the thought of being responsible for 30 kids for 6 and a half hours a day.  Actually, it's the older grades that have more openings, and they switch classrooms, so I'd be responsible for even more kids than that if I had to teach the older grades.  Ugh.  It's too much work for too little pay.  And yet it's what I keep going back to.  I should just finish the degree.  Do my student teaching, take the tests, get certified, get a job.  But ugh, what if I hate it?  There's a reason why only 1 out 3 teachers make it past their first year. *sigh*  I'm so damn indecisive.  That's another reason why I'm hating on myself.  What I need to do is finish my coding stuff.  That would be a 9-5 job, wouldn't have homework.  Unless... well, unless I get a work at home position, then I'm really in trouble, because you all know how I procrastinate.

4. Speaking of procrastinating, MEME!!!  Stolen from piecesofalice, only tweaked here and there because I have no clue where the camera is:

If you leave me questions/fics to read/vids to watch/tell me interesting stories/etc, I will answer/react to them in audio form. (any fic is fine, I really have no problem reading sex scenes, except that they get boring after a page or two).

So leave me questions etc, the more funny/crude the better. Thanks!

5. I was watching Dirty Hole again, and OMG!!!  Damian left me breathless.  I love that after being obsessed with Damian for 5 months and after watching that vid about 20 times, he still manages to leave me breathless.  Particularly the bit where he's walking with the guards and the camera is kind of looking up at him from the ground.  Oh lordy, how I love his pants for being so expressive. *pervy sigh*  Seriously, whoever chooses his suits, they do a wonderful job.

Disc 1 of Band of Brothers arrived in the mail today, and I flailed.  It was exactly what I needed after the mind-numbing 3 hour postal battery exam (which I think I did fairly well on, but as I predicted, the personality assessment confused me to no end and I have no idea if I put down the answers that they were looking for or not.  But I think I nailed the memory portion of the test, which is what I was worried about on the skills part).  Anyway, my email had said that the disc was coming today, so I was looking forward to it.  And OMG!!!!  Nobody warned me that Damian would make me swoon almost as much as I did when Andy sang Take a Chance on Me to Angela.  And all he did was appear on my screen!  OMG, HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!  I WAS LITERALLY GASPING FOR BREATH BECAUSE HE STOLE IT AWAY FROM ME!  Gah, so gorgeous.  Also, David Schwimmer trying to be intimidating + short shorts = funniest thing ever.

Okay, so... I'm not big on war movies/shows, but this one is pretty good.  But I must admit, if not for the pretty Damian, I probably wouldn't be watching it.  The way it's shot is actually very visually attractive, so I think that's adding to my enjoyment, plus I'm loving the instrumental arrangements, and it is pretty fascinating learning about the very first airborne platoons.  But again, if not for Damian, I would probably only watch a few minutes and say, "Wow, this is really well done," and then watch something else, because war movies are far too much of an educational experience for me. :D  Oh, but guess what distracted me from the learnyness of it?  The steamy love affair between Captain Sobel and Lieutenant Dick Winters.  Whaaaaat?  I'm serious!  They totally wanted to do each other, and I'll prove it with a steamy hot Damian/David picspam:


And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the saga of Winters/Sobel.
