Top Ten: Buttons

Okay, not really a top ten… just a selection of ten favorites from my button/pin collection (which I keep in an old shortbread tin shaped like a kilt that sits on the pass-through from my kitchen to living room/dining area… which is possibly not where most people keep their collections of buttons/pins, now that I think about it). Note to self: do more top ten lists this way.

Quiz: Marvel Female

This was an interesting quiz. With so many possible choices, the number of questions and number of choices seemed pretty limited. So I was curious to see what characters were the possible results.

Quiz: What Female Marvel Character Are You?

Answer: Marvel

Thoughts: Wow. Not even. Sure, I’m loyal like Jean… and I guess sometimes she seems quiet and unassuming and I like the bit about being loved & cared for… but the rest? How did it come up with that result for me? I swear I’m not going dark phoenix any time soon–yikes! Nor do I have any desire to be admired or be the most powerful anything (quite the opposite, in fact). I was secretly hoping for Sue Storm, honestly. And I was really hoping to not get Black Widow (because I am none of the things she is: brave, manipulative, clever, secretive, etc.).

Craft: Care Bear ATC #1

In honor of St. Paddy’s Day, here’s an early craft post.

CareBearsATCs-01

For this swap, each person posted the name of a favorite Care Bear and we had to make ATCs accordingly. Here’s the one I made of Good Luck Bear.

I made the background, carefully cut out the bear, and wrote the little rhyme myself:

As long as you
Are good and kind
This bear will bring
You luck, you’ll find!

For the other two Care Bear ATCs I made, stay tuned on next Thursday for my regularly-scheduled craft post.

Quiz: Which Fandom?

By now, you probably noticed that I like a lot of fandoms. So I thought I’d try this quiz.

Thoughts: Hrmm. I liked the Hunger Games, sure. But it’s far from my favorite fandom.

Top Ten: Fandom Purchases in Seattle

I recently went to Seattle for work (okay, as I’m typing this, I’m still in Seattle, stranded because of cancelled flights and a foot of snow back home, but maybe I’ll be home by the time this scheduled post goes live). I didn’t get much time to explore the city, but I did purchase a few fandom items… because that’s just how I roll.

Also, two of these items might be presents for one of my online friends whose username might be abbreviated L.K. So don’t read this if that’s you or you will be spoiled!

Top Ten: Times Joss Made Me Cry

And not the good kind of crying, either. This is a list of ways Joss Whedon broke my heart. But he’s so damn good at it, I can’t help but love him. Not a single tear went to waste, though. Like he says, he gives us what we need, not what we want.

BEWARE: SO MANY SPOILERS IN THIS LIST! SO MANY! ALL THE SPOILERS! BEWARE!

Top Ten: Kisses

In honor of Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d come up with a list of some (big & small) screen kisses. This time, I thought I’d characterize them to emphasize that these are in no order and not necessarily my top ten favorites.

License Plate: MUGGL

I couldn’t help but notice this car during my quick drive home yesterday during the day, and it reminded me that I wanted to start posting the fandom-related license plates I come across in my travels.

Muggles

Gotta hand it to these people; they’re brave to admit it!
