Twenty-Five Favorite Characters Meme

Gakked from all over but most recently from ww1614. I don't know whether I can come up with 25, but I'll try.

The 25 Favorite Characters Meme

1) Spike, BtVS/AtS (badass punk rock vampire with the heart of a poet)
2) Aeryn Sun, Farscape (badass ex-assassin who is just... amazing)
3) Dana Scully, X-Files (repressed, brilliant, honorable, scientific skeptic who can almost never be flummoxed. She rocked.)
4) Jack Deveraux, Days of Our Lives (screwed-up rich boy with issues upon issues. More comfortable with unrequited love than requited)
5) Remington Steele, Remington Steele (Or whatever his real name was. Irish Art thief/con-man who assumed an identity for so long that he actually became the guy)
6) Fox Mulder, X-Files (porn loving conspiracy nut who was wonderfully witty in his quixotic crusade)
7) John Crichton, Farscape (the innocent scientist who lost all his ideals... except in love)
8) Wesley, BtVS/AtS (poor little dork who became freaking hot... but was beaten down until he became a cynical man. *sniffle* poor Wesley)
9) Janette, Forever Knight (Her husband sold her into prostitution during the Dark Ages in France until a vampire offered her the ultimate power of choice. She then spent nearly the next thousand years as a vampire herself)
10) Al Swearenjen, Deadwood (Woremonger/murderer/ and all around bad guy. But damn, he is one hell of a fascinating character who has redeeming qualities)
11) Lorna Devon, Another World (Alicia Copola version not Robin Christopher version. Black leather clad rock promoter whose father couldn't bring himself to love her... until he was dying in her arms)
12) Steve Johnson, Days of Our Lives (Bad boy with an eye patch and an overdeveloped sense of responsibility)
13) Michael, Roswell (cute kid who put the 'alienated' in alien)
14) Maria, Roswell (cute side-kick waitress who fell for Michael)
15) Data, Star Trek TNG (the android who wanted to be a real live boy)
16) Seven of Nine, Voyager (this ex-Borg was the only redeemable thing on Voyager)
17) Chloe O'Brien, 24 (she can kick any computer's ass and taser any man's)
18) First Lady Martha Logan, 24 (drugged out First Lady who, when she can avoid the meds and her vodka, saved the United States)
19) Kendal Hart (Alicia Minshew version, not SMG version), All My Children (the bad girl who pulled a gun on the mother who gave her up for adoption... but only because she wanted to be loved. Also bought a poisonous snake and set it loose on the guy who raped her sister.)
20) Christian Troy, Nip/Tuck (the guy who puts the ho in man ho. And he's a bastard while doing it... but he looks good at it too)
21) The Doctor, Doctor Who (Count me as someone who likes both Nine and Ten)
22) Arnold Rimmer, Red Dwarf (he's the insufferable hologram resurrected to keep the last human alive from going insane... by driving him nuts)
23) Samantha Jones, Sex and the City (talk about a liberated woman)
24) Charlotte York, Sex and the City (eternally optimistic romantic)
25) Chris Stevens, Northern Exposure (ex-con turned existentialist radio host/artist/preacher/philosopher in a backwater town in Alaska)

Sigh. So very, very tired.

I hate this building. I hate this building. I hate this building. Part Two.

It's the building that will. not. end. At work I've compared it to a mountain made of sand. You're trying to climb to the top, but it's impossible to find a firm foothold. It seems as though there's little or no progress, and you keep sliding back down.

We're supposed to finish this week (or, dear GOD, let us finish this week), but it seems like such an impossible ambition right now. Sigh.

And...I slept through my alarm this morning. I woke up twenty minutes after I was supposed to be at work, so the day started off on the wrong foot (though I did work until 7:30pm last night so I wasn't feeling terribly guilty). ( cut for work griping )

On a slightly brighter note, one of the advantages to drawing for a living is that, around the office, people frequently listen to books on CD/Mp3 while working (especially in heads down DRRRAAAAWWWWWWWWW!!!!! mode). I've discovered audible.com which has downloadable audio books (and they download pretty damn fast). You can burn them to CDs, stream them off the internet, or copy them into a mp3 player.

Anyway, I've just finished listening to the unabridged version of Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys, which was pretty darn enjoyable. As always audible books depend on the reader, and the British actor who did the reading was excellent. I'm not sure how I would have reacted on reading the book, but listening to it made the book's excusions into the occasional African folktale interesting rather than simply interrupting the story. I suspect that when reading, that may not be the case. Anyway, I enjoyed the book. It's amusing and fantastical somehow reminding me in some ways of Hitchiker's Guide, Dresden Files, and... er... Br'er Rabbit (which I suspect may actually be an 'Anansi' story.)

Oh, and I read that BAPS is closing its doors. I suspected it was coming. Alane has sort of wanted to close it for a while. Still, it makes me wistful. This makes two (completely different and unrelated) old fandom haunts of mine that have folded their tents. I may not have much time for fandom at the moment, but I really miss the days when it was full of zest and life. ( cut for wistful nostalgia )
