- NaNo starts in less than five days and my main character STILL DOESN'T HAVE A NAME. D: Or, well, she has a name, but it's not the perfect name, it's just a name that'll do. And that's basically the same thing as not having a name at all.

- I feel like I've been shirking my duties as a Skins fandomer by not commenting on the US Skins trailer! Mostly I think it's going to be super weird for the first few episodes that are basically remakes of series one, but I'm really looking forward to seeing where it goes once it branches off. And of course I'm mostly interested in Tea, because, well, you already know my feelings on cute lesbians. Also, I love how fandom's already shipping her with Michelle, but I just have one request: please, fandom, don't start calling them something stupid like ~*Teachelle*~. JUST SAY NO TO NAME-SMOOSHES.

- Who's watching Lip Service?? It can't exactly be described as quality TV and yet I'm enjoying the hell out of it, probably because after The L Word the bar for lesbian TV is set so low you can step over it. Anyway, brief thoughts: Frankie is SO HOT but her emo is tedious, I like Cat but she needs to pull herself together, and Tess is my favourite even though sometimes her storylines hit my embarrassment squick hard. And I LOVE Tess and Lou together, even though Lou's awful to her. :/

- I've had 'I Wanna Be Like You' in my head intermittently throughout the week and it's all Katie Fucking Waissel's fault. Why is The X Factor trying so hard to make her happen? She's not going to happen.

I tried to resist LS, but I'm totes addicted now.

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

JUST SAY NO TO NAME-SMOOSHES.

A-MEN.

TYPING FULL NAMES OUT FTW.

lolll It seems like a silly thing to be even ~slightly irritated by, but sometimes people bring up a fandom name for a pairing, and I don't even know what they're talking about, it's so contrived.

Yeah, seriously. They can occasionally be acceptable if they a) make it clear what the pairing is, and b) don't sound ridiculous, but most of them fail on at least one of those counts.

As far as I'm aware, everyone's just referring to them as MT (to differentiate of course from Tony/Michelle, which is TM). :3

Oh god, flashbacks to Harry Potter fandom where it was IMPOSSIBLE to keep all the initials straight...

I'm watching Lip Service! And I agree with all your thoughts except for Frankie being hot, because she looks and dresses (and acts) like a 13 year old boy.

Hahaha, I don't think she LOOKS like a 13 year old boy, although she does dress and act like one, I'll give you that. Then again I've always been into Keira Knightley and she gets that same criticism, so maybe I just have an unfortunate type!

I LOVE LIP SERVICE. I think the characters are well written even though the dialogue is a little bad sometimes. Tess is my fav too. I adore Tess and Lou together. I've got my hopes up that Lou will declare her love at the end of the series.

I really like Katie Waissel now. HATED her with a passion before, but I loved her last performance. It's been stuck in my head as well.
