[thelittlespanko.livejournal.com]

YAAAAAAAY!!! Pet detective Cas!! LOLOL =D I love the narrow eye thing he does in it. ::flails:: It's so cute!

Haha, I haven't listened to Any of these albums. ...well, that might not be true as hubs is a huge Matchbox Twenty/Rob Thomas fan but I don't know more than perhaps two of their songs. I'm listening to Scouting for Girls right now and I really like it. I'll be checking out the rest soon as well! xx

Also, I think I may steal this meme from you. ^^

EDIT: Now you've done it. I'm completely enamored with A Fine Frenzy, so thank you for that! ::bear hugs you:: I'm ecstatic to have new music to listen to!!

[cookiegirl]

Hee! I haven't actually seen that episode yet but I liked the gif :D

Aww yay I am glad you like A Fine Frenzy!! There's one song called Near to You that always makes me cry. And Almost Lover ♥

*also nods approval at your hubby's excellent taste*

*runs to leave you a top 5 question*

[thelittlespanko.livejournal.com]

Oh it's a Great ep! You'll love it.

I just listened to two of their albums [from the library, which sadly doesn't have your fav] and she led me to another group called Bat For Lashes, which I'm just as in love with. Have you heard of them [her]? I'm listening to The Haunted Man and think it is Fabulous.

YAAAAAAAY!!!! *runs to see what you left me*

[cookiegirl]

Ooh I have heard of Bat for Lashes, but for some reason I've never checked out their stuff before! But I've just done so now and ahhh so beautiful ♥ And they have a song called Laura! (I may have listened to that one first :D) Thank you for the rec!!

[thelittlespanko.livejournal.com]

ISN'T THAT A GREAT SONG!!!! I think it's my fav. Gah, it makes me Feel!!!! I now have all 3 albums and love them ALL. Bat For Lashes reminds me a lot of Cocteau Twins, only modern and with understandable lyrics. Have you ever listened to them? They're from the 80s.

[cookiegirl]

I've never heard of them but will definitely look them up on Youtube! Non-understandable lyrics sound amusing :D

[thelittlespanko.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEEE you Must tell me what you think when you listen to them!!!! ::flails:: I'm much too excited, LOL.

Ok, ok ok ....here are my fav songs of theirs:

[cookiegirl]

ahh these are awesome! Sort of ethereal but really catchy at the same time! I will definitely keep listening!

(I looked up the lyrics of the first song to help me figure out what it meant...but that did not help at all lol! :D)

[thelittlespanko.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked them! Ha, yes, looking up the lyrics are useless. She's known to sometimes 'sing in tongues' while other songs DO have lyrics...that she often doesn't release, or - when she does - don't make sense to anyone but her. Artists. XD

[jerusha]

Five episodes (any shows) that you wish you could strike from canon.

[cookiegirl]

Ooh good question :D

1. The Girl in Question (Angel 5x20) - I remember watching this with a rising sense of absolute horror as I realised this was the way they were ending the whole Buffy/Angel/Spike story /o\

2. Shoot the Moon (White Collar 4x14) - ACK. DISLIKE.

3. Flight (Grey's Anatomy 8x24) - I wish the events from this had never transpired. Also, it's not even that great an episode.

4. The Blood Line (Torchwood 4x10) - Terrible way to possibly end the series!

5. The Killer In Me (Buffy 7x13) - I reeeeally don't like the whole Willow - Warren - Kennedy thing.

There were lots of others too!

[doctor-fangeek.livejournal.com]

So someone asked me this and I thought it was a good one, so...top 5 fic tropes?

[cookiegirl]

Hee, good question, I love loads of tropes!

I guess special favourites would be:

1) cuddling for warmth
2) first times (kiss, sex, meeting, talking about feelings, saying I love you, negotiating limits, etc etc!)
3) two people (who may be secretly attracted!) have to share a bed or pretend to be in a relationship
4) pretty much any hurt/comfort stuff like sick!Nealcharacter. Hair stroking optional but appreciated \o/
5) anything with D/S!

[artemis_wandering]

Top 5 literary characters?

[cookiegirl]

I'm guessing characters from fanfic don't count :D

Ok, so embarrassingly a lot of these are from children's books! I read far too many Saddle Club books when growing up!

1. Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)
2. Scout Finch (To Kill a Mockingbird)
3. Stevie (The Saddle Club series!)
4. Leah (Siege by Sarah Mussi)
5. Callie (Starters by Lissa Price)

[artemis_wandering]

That's awesome! No need to worry about favs from kid's books, I have a few of those myself; I think such characters are more likely to stick with us. :)
