NBC ramblings and a meme

A couple parts of the US Office last night made my inner Dwim fangirl squee. Like the part where Dwight goes to put his arm around Jim. Of course, by then Jim had actually left, but that's just a trifling matter. (Oh, wait, wrong Office. Uh...Jim's your biggest flan?) Oh, Dwim. You're like Tim/Gareth, but with more beets.

Also, Dwight reading to Jim and Pam from Harry Potter was pure love. (I would be all up ons Jim/Pam/Dwight, like I am with Tim/Dawn/Gareth, but that would look like I was endorsing Jam too, and I don't do that.)

Speaking of Office pairings/threesomes/what-have-yous...why aren't there more out there than Jim/Pam and Tim/Gareth? Not that I don't love the latter, but seriously, there are 30-something pages on fanfiction.net. And while most of it is good, the US stuff (which is almost the whole section) is pretty much all Jam, with the occasional Man or Dwangela thrown in there for variety. (Have I ever mentioned how much I hate these pairingsmush names? Except "Dwim", because...well, just say it. Dwim Dwim Dwim.) I saw a grand total of one Michael/Pam and one "Dwim if you squint". That was about it. Where's the variety, people? And, like I said, I don't think I've seen any UK Office fic there other than Tim/Gareth, but it's a small fandom and I am quite fond of the pairing, so I'm more inclined to forgive it. Still, I wish they would take a small cue from the US fans: surely Tim/Dawn isn't a worse pairing than Jam, right? And where's my Tim/Dawn/Gareth?

And now for something completely different. Apparently, there will be a show that combines Uri Geller, Criss Angel, and ten magicky people. I'm in two minds about this one. On the one hand, I'm not a big fan of Uri Geller since he hates Pokémon (he claims that they were using his identity unauthorizedly in the form of Kadabra, which is ridiculous - just because the name is a play on his ("Yungera" looks like "Yurigera", or "Uri Geller") doesn't mean the Pokémon is intended to represent him. He ought to be flattered, in my opinion). On the other hand...it looks cool. Phenomenon starts on Wednesday if anyone wanted to know that.

I do love Tim/Gareth, but I also think Tim/Dawn is so sweet and so nyaargh. Clearly, the only solution is a threesome. :D

I don't really know, man. It just really creeped me out. I got about halfway through and it gave me nightmares, so I had to stop reading.

Clearly, the only solution is a threesome. :D

Is that your answer to everything?

...Stupid question. (>.<)

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2010-03-19 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course it is. :P
(also this entry is like two years old why are you reading it o_O)

[identity profile] rekkazaal.livejournal.com 2010-03-19 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
That was your solution for HoND too, so...

I was looking for memes, but eventually lost interest.

I can make animated gifs! Sort of!

Hello,
You've mentioned me a lot in this post Veth! :D Tehehe :o
Anyway, Rob's still gonna win. Even if he doesn't in real life, he's still the winner...because I said so. Oh! What now?! ;D

bsergurl!

P.S...ROB MORROW ROX!

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2007-10-21 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if by "a lot" you mean "twice". :P

And judging by the votes, Mackenzie won. So what do you say to THAT.

(Anonymous) 2007-10-21 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I already told you, Rob will always be the winner! So what do you say about that? I know why Mackenzie got all the votes anyway, so there...

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2007-10-23 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know why Mackenzie got all the votes too. Because he's hotter than Rob. :P

[identity profile] bsergurl.livejournal.com 2007-10-23 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
Umm, not true. It'a because, I hat to break it to ya, but he looks like an anime character. OOPS...Sorry! :O
And Rob, as you know or should know, does not look like an anime character! lol
So there you go, there are the reasons why Mackenzie "won."

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2007-10-23 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, no.

These (http://www.anime.com/Inuyasha/images/01mini.jpg) are anime characters.

This (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/ldamon6987/mackenzie%20crook%20site/UKDMC4.jpg) is Mackenzie. (Not the best picture but you get the idea.)

Note the difference.

(Anonymous) 2007-10-23 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
What's the difference? I don't see it. Even if you explain it to me, I still won't see it. lol

:D

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2007-10-23 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Gee, I don't know. Maybe it's that his eyes don't take up a third of his head. Or that he isn't a cartoon. :P

[identity profile] bsergurl.livejournal.com 2007-10-25 11:47 am (UTC)(link)
or is he? or is he an it? whatever...rob will always be hotter, and he looks younger than mackenzie. his eyes do take up a third of his head because his head is soo small.

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2007-10-25 11:52 am (UTC)(link)
Are you kidding? Rob is 9 years older than Mackenzie. 9 years. "Younger" my behind. And no, he is not an "it". :P

[identity profile] bsergurl.livejournal.com 2007-10-25 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't say Rob was younger, I said he looks younger! So ha!

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2007-10-25 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
He definitey doesn't. He looks oooold. :P

[identity profile] bsergurl.livejournal.com 2007-10-25 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Umm...NOT!
