This is like the bellybutton lint of LJ entries.

[chibirhm]

What I mean, when I say that, is that I don't really have anything to say but have a lot of links sitting at the top of my whatever that bar is called where there are bookmarks and shit that are going "YOU SHOULD WRITE ABOUT ME". So. Uh. Here is like a random list of random stuff? IDK. Mostly I'm just tired of these links hanging out, bored, and miss having comments in my inbox.

ONE:
So, I'm still not watching this week's episode of Merlin, but I did go look at the promo photos (which are the first Arthur/Gwen promo photos so fandom was all abuzz) and OH MY GOD. I'm sorry. I'm sorry! I'm trying to take this episode seriously but AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Not only does this look like a really terrible pulp romance novel (trust me, I know my trashy romance novels, I bring along one on every vacation I take to do dramatic readings of), but oh my god, could the two of them look less enthused to be there? Angel looks either bored or like she's finally realized what a great pillow Bradley's chest makes an is all "yesssss, finally I can take a nap". (It does look like it makes a great pillow, let's not lie. Call me, Angel. Feel free to tell me alllll the details.) Bradley looks like he's trying not to cry and/or vomit. OH SHOW. OH ACTORS. YOU AMUSE ME SO MUCH WITH YOUR EFFORTS. It's kind of adorable! It's like this video, right?

See, the show is like the puppy and the floor is like heteronormitivity, and poor show, can't quite roll over and get its paws on solid ground. Only this time I'm rooting for the puppy to stay on his back forever. So I can rub its gay, gay widdle puppy tummy.


TWO:
So it's not, like, a secret to most people that I am STUPIDLY IN LOVE with Joseph Gordon-Levitt. STUPIDLY in love. I've nursed a crush on him since 10 Things I Hate About You. (Everyone else was all gaga over Heath Ledger. I had my eyes on the prize. Also, I was fourteen.) But for a while he was all going to college and having unfortunately long hair and so he has only recently re-surfaced into my consciousness, but he has, and with a vengeance.

Basically, if I had to make, like, a baseball card like thing of my ideal man, including looks, he would resemble Joseph Gordon-Levitt to a frankly creepy degree. And this card was created, let's remember, before I knew of him and during the time he was going through his greasy long-haired hiding-in-college thing and out of my consciousness. All the guys I've liked? Resemble him to, again, a creepy degree. If I met him in a coffee shop and he wasn't even famous I would break all my creepiness rules and pretty much throw myself at him bodily. He is that much exactly my type. (I've actually been refraining from ever doing a meme like ems did of my favorite hot guys because they all look like they could be related. JGL. Colin Morgan. Iker Casillas. Sufjan Stevens. Seriously, look them all up. The only varient is how much muscle mass they have.)

This is so unfair, you guys! Guys in real life aren't as cute as he is! Or as earnestly nerdy and pretentious! And he makes himself so stupidly accessible via his various internet outlets so all those walls you build up normally against liking a celebrity are really hard to keep up when everything seems so possible. (Which, of course, it isn't, because how many way hotter girls are there than me attempting to ensnare him using those very avenues? A LOT.)

So, if Joseph Gordon-Levitt would not mind, I would like for him to stop going to Lakers games. More specifically, Joseph, dearest, stop going to Lakers games looking so fucking cute I want to tackle you to the floor. Cease with the stripey socks that go with my stripey socks (that I am wearing right now! DAMMIT JGL)! Stop wearing horn-rimmed glasses! Which are a giant fucking nerdy pretentious kink of mine! Stop having dimples! Make your neck less nuzzlable! Don't have such gorgeous stubble! STOP LOOKING LIKE YOU SMELL LIKE HEAVEN. I am attempting to quash this fantasy I have where we live in Cambridge and own two dogs (pitbull mixes and adopted, natch) and walk to the bakery every Sunday and go to all-organic farmer's markets and listen to records on vinyl and blog about it. YOU ARE MAKING IT DIFFICULT. STOP RUINING REAL LIFE DUDES.

God you are so hot.


THREE:
Ever since Sherlock has started re-airing on PBS I've been nosing around Sherlock fandom a lot, because, well, John Watson and Sherlock Holmes are one of the greatest archetypal couples of all time. Also, Benedict Cumberbatch is ridiculously endearing. ANYWAY. One of my favorite artists of any fandom I've ever been in is pollums. Her work is so gorgeous and stylized and amazing I can hardly stand it. I am, like, in physical contorted agony over how jealous I am of her talent. She's been doing sketches every day for November and she did this one of Sherlock and John kissing and oh my shit. OH MY GIDDY MAIDEN AUNT. I can't, you guys. I just can't. I cannot even. I. I give up. On life. THIS IS TOO GOOD TO EXIST AND BE REAL. I CLEARLY HAVE DONE VERY KIND THINGS TO DESERVE SUCH BEAUTY IN MY LIFE.

BRB STARING IN ADORATION FOR FOREVER.


FOUR:
I'm kind of stupidly excited by the fact that Jon Stewart is going to be on Rachel Maddow's show tomorrow. Like, looking-forward-to-it-all-week excited. Counting-down-the-hours excited. I may have to wear restrictive clothing to not injure myself from flailing somehow. I might not even wait until midnight and WATCH THE ENTIRE THING AS IT AIRS.

Oh, who am I kidding, that'll fuck with my nightly routine of Maddow at Midnight. BUT OH MY GOD WHO HAS TWO SUPER-LIBERAL THUMBS AND IS EXITED? THIS GIRL.


FIVE:
There was no new Cougar Town or Modern Family tonight because of the Country Music Awards. Aren't those award ceremonies usually on the weekends? FUCKING HILLBILLIES.

The thing I find most hilarious about those pics is that you could literally photoshop Gwen out of them and you'd never know she'd even been there. THAT IS HOW STRONG ARTHUR'S INDIFFERENCE IS.

Though I do love those pics because OM NOM NOM ARTHUR CHEST HAIR HAIII.

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

CHEST HAIR IS ALWAYS NICE. But ahahah, Angel doesn't look too psyched either. She's either like "...must... keep... eyes... open..." or like, resting on Bradley's chest like "YES I THINK THIS WILL MAKE AN ACCEPTABLE PILLOW".

[lamardeuse.livejournal.com]

All I could think when looking at that Arthur/Gwen photo was HELLO, CHEST HAIR. I AM SHALLOW, OKAY. Beyond that, IDGAF.

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

LOOK CHEST HAIR IS NOT A BAD THING TO FOCUS ON. NOT AT ALL. I BET COLIN SPENDS A LOT OF TIME FOCUSING ON IT TOO. RUNNING HIS LONG, ELEGANT FINGERS THROUGH IT. NOSING DOWN THE TRAIL OF IT TO BRADLEY'S BELLYBUTTON....

...WHAT WAS I SAYING AGAIN?

[lamardeuse.livejournal.com]

I MEAN, REALLY. IS IT A CRIME THAT I ENJOY FOCUSING ON THIS PARTICULAR STRETCH OF REAL ESTATE?

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

AGREED. (Though I do prefer my men, as a rule, to be less hirsute. My dad has always been bald as an egg but had a Lorax forest of body hair, so whenever I see a bald man or a v. v. hairy man my first thought is "DAD!" which is such a buzzkill I cannot even. But omg, imagining Colin just going nuts on that and running his fingers through that while he kisses Bradley's jaw until he whines and flails is, like, mmmm. That is a good image.)

[shesashewolf.livejournal.com]

Is it strange that I am in love with his adam's apple? Re-watching season one last week, I noticed my newest Bradley obsession.

[inspiredlife.livejournal.com]

I completely and totally agree with you aboutthe Arthur/Gwen snaps. It's so ridiculous.

That puppy is adorable and my face was all woeful for him because j am pathertic like that.

OMG I have such a type and JDL is like the prince of it. Sorry, Colin's the king. Bascially, yes, yes, yes to everything in this point.

Can't wait for Maddow! It'll be amaaazing.

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

Ahahha, don't worry about the pup. He's a French Bulldog and he, like most bulldogs, is bred to be so silly-looking that his body is actually physically impossible. They're all like this when they're puppies, and they have to actually have back time as babies so they can learn to roll over on their own. This anatomical ridiculousness is the same reason bulldogs can only give birth via c-section and also why most of them can't swim. Their center of gravity is just whacky.

Yeah, Colin's on the fey end of my spectrum, but oh, he's on that spectrum. Especially those pictures of him in theater all scruffy and gorgeous. JFC.

I love Maddow and Stewart together. So much. Whenever they do things it's clear they have such a deeply-held respect for each other. I mean,he mocks MSNBC all the time, but he almost never mocks her. I want them to, like, mentor me on how to be awesome. All the time.

Also, I am like the straightest girl in the universe (not for lack of trying but I'm sorry, boobs are terrifying) and Rachel Maddow? WOULD TAP THAT. UNF. I THINK IT'S THE NERD GLASSES ALL OVER AGAIN.

[inspiredlife.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you so much for explaining. I assumed it was something like that but I like knowing for sure.

I used to say I didn't have a type but it's so obvious I do. And, Colin sums it up perfectly. My spectrum is apparently wee and overwhelmingly consistent. At least for men. My taste in women is a bit more varied.

You've summed up perfectly what it so awesome about Maddow and Stewart together. I am so fricking excited...it's a bit pathetic.

Also, I'd tap Rachel in a heartbeat. GO NERD QUOTIENT!!

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

IKR? I'd never do a lady because, like I said, ridiculously heterosexual, but the number and type of women I think are attractive are many and varied.

OOH OOH WHO ARE YOUR OTHER FELLOWS THOUGH?

[inspiredlife.livejournal.com]

It's funny you say that. My type of women I think are attractive is crazy varied. But when actually getting together with a woman? My type is pretty consistent there too.

Hmm, other fellows. As suggested by my insane love for Colin, I'm rather into lean and lanky boys. I also have a thing for floppy hair (mostly brunets). Current fannish crushes include David Tennant, JGL, Gareth David Lloyd, David Malone, Matt Smith (but only on occasion). It's mostly Colin these days though.

[nympha-alba.livejournal.com]

If I met him in a coffee shop and he wasn't even famous I would break all my creepiness rules and pretty much throw myself at him bodily. He is that much exactly my type.

This, THIS is Colin Morgan for me. It's what got me into the Merlin fandom. Without Colin Morgan I'd never have bothered, but oh God.

Poor puppy, I feel a bit sorry for it, especially towards the end when it starts to make pathetic little noises. But OH GOD THE DOG SLEEPING IN THE BACKGROUND. I laughed for five minutes. Just waiting for Tom & Jerry to enter the video.

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

I was, I will admit, drawn in by Bradley and Colin's video diaries. And the gay. I wasn't even attracted to Colin at first because I'd only seen him looking like S1 Merlin, which is more "CUUUUUUTE!!!!" and less OMG DO ME NOW. But then I saw pictures of him with his mussed up hair and when he had a beard and that was it. I WAS DONE FOR. I am SO GLAD about his new haircut because oh my god, it makes him no longer look fourteen and also RIDICULOUSLY HOT. He is on the skinny end of my spectrum, though. Normally I prefer guys with, like, over 2% body fat, just because I know from experience that cuddling with someone like that? Hurts.

Don't worry too much about the puppers! It's a French Bulldog, and like all bulldogs, it's pretty much anatomically impossible. The way a bulldog is built has such a front-heavy center of gravity that they HAVE to be put on their backs as puppies because they cannot roll over unless they explicitly learn how. This anatomical whackines is the same reason they all have to be born by C-section and most of them can't swim, either. It looks cruel (adorable, but cruel), but it's actually necessary. Like when you try to give a baby tummy time and it throws a tantrum.

YOU'RE WRITING MY LIFE. :D

[shesashewolf.livejournal.com]

Bradley looks like he's trying not to cry and/or vomit because his cute, chinchilla-like boyfriend looks like Albus Dumbledore!

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

It is, indeed, a tragedy. D:

[blameitonmerlin.livejournal.com]

Bradley looks like he's trying not to cry and/or vomit. OH SHOW. OH ACTORS. YOU AMUSE ME SO MUCH WITH YOUR EFFORTS. It's kind of adorable! It's like this video, right?



I have to say, when I saw the photo, I straight up started laughing. Bradley looks like someone kicked his puppy, and just looks...oh my goodness, I can't even think about it and not start up again. SO FUNNY I CANNOT EVEN

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

I can just HEAR HIM being five seconds away from going "COLINNNNNNN!!!!!" in his whiniest voice. OH BRADDERS. WE KNOW. WE KNOW YOU WANT TO SNUGGLE YOUR BOYFRIEND. IT'LL BE OKAY.

[frantic-allonsy.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahaha Angel Coulby and Bradley James. They're like WE ARE ACTORS, WE CAN SURELY GET THROUGH THESE TRYING TIMES OF HAVING TO TOUCH EACH OTHER.

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

CLENCH YOUR JAW AND MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR BOOSTER COOTIE SHOTS, KIDS.

[blameitonmerlin.livejournal.com]

IT'S LIKE THEY ARE ACTIVELY TRYING NOT TO SELL US ON THIS ROMANCE THING IDEK

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

I WISH THE SHOW RUNNERS WOULD TAKE A FREAKING HINT
