This journal is probably 75% friend's only, and with the amazing friends I have right now, I'm not very interested in adding more people to my friends list. If you happen to add me, I don't add you back. If you're looking for my icons, go to ibroughtuflours. If you're looking for my fan fiction, go to maskmaid_fics.

Comment to this entry and I'll pick three of your fandoms. You must then update your journal and answer the following questions:

Laura chose the fandoms House, Big Love, and Scrubs.

01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
House: My parents are the reason I'm in this fandom. Seriously, it's the truth! It happened on a night where there was supposed to be a nasty tropical storm approaching us. I decided to go home before everyone on our college campus was told forced to stay, and one of my roommates did not want to be left alone. So she spent the night at my house. What were my parents watching when we arrived? House, 1x03 "Occam's Razor." House impressed me with his gout diagnosis and, I must confess, I've been hooked ever since. Watched the reruns on the USA Network, then bought the first and second season DVDs, and then started watching as it aired when the third season premiered.
Big Love: There is really no fancy story behind this fandom. I was flipping through the channels one night, saw that HBO was having this kind of Big Love marathon. I think up to episode five or six had aired, and they were playing the past episodes so viewers could catch up. I started watching episode two, and it intrigued me. By episode three, I enamored.
Scrubs: The promos. Back when Scrubs was one of the new shows on NBC, I kept laughing my ass off at the promos they kept showing during the summer. I love all sorts of medical shows, and I *loved* there was going to be medical comedy. When the fall season started that year, I was more than ready for the series to start. So I've loved this show since the very beginning, and it's been one of those amazing television journeys.

Only two or three of you will understand the relevance to this, but oh well. No one minds if I rant for just a bit? Over something that is completely nothing but fandom, because I do need a bit of an escape from the real world right now.

There are some Fullmetal Alchemist fans who need to stop crying, blow their noses, and put on their big girl (or big boy) pants. Please. There is no sense in getting all emotional because Aaron Dismuke may not return for FMA: Brotherhood as the voice for Alphonse. The young boy is now almost a young man. He's seventeen! His voice has cracked and he can no longer play the twelve-year-old whose soul is trapped inside a suit of armor. Don't get me wrong, I love Aaron's portrayal of Alphonse, I love that he came back for dub of the OAVs (and I love how they wrote in a wisecrack or two that deal with his voice cracking), and while I'll miss him if he doesn't come back... I'm not going to be crushed. Funimation has to do what's right for the series. So most likely, they'll replace Aaron with another voice actor.

I mean, come on. I know change is hard, but it can sometimes be a good thing. Funimation doesn't really have the reputation of having bad dubs, they spend a lot of time and effort in finding talented voice actors for the anime they distribute. So let's all just chill, relax, and at least enjoy the subtitled episodes they've posted on YouTube. There's no need to worry over stuff that is out of your control.

HERE IT BE. MY REVIEW FOR TRUE BLOOD 2x01 "NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD". IT BE AWESOME. (The episode, that is. Can't say if my review is awesome or not...)

( When I was 20, my cousin Rufus, he was going out with this girl who claimed she could crush a beer can... with her tits. And one night while we were alone, I asked if she'd showed me. One beer can led to another, and before you knew it, she was crushing my head... with her tits. Rufus came home and he was so mad, he threw me out the window. My hip shattered into millions of pieces, and they replaced it... with metal. )

... I went to see Star Trek today. It was my second time seeing it and I want to see it yet AGAIN. And I never thought I'd say those words about a Star Trek movie, but it's so awesome. And I think I'm in love with Spock. I'm definitely in love with Spock/Uhura, and I'm very much in love with Kirk/Spock and let's go ahead and say I love the whole Kirk/Uhura/Spock triangle thing going on. Trios are so much fun to ship.

And I think I need a Spock layout. Yes, yes, I do. I've downloaded some caps from the trailers, but does anyone know if they're so some awesome kick-ass promotional pictures somewhere? I'd like to have as many pretty pictures to stare at as possible. :D
