ever_neutral gave me "R".1. RANDY GILES
I had to get Spike in here somehow ;)
2. RYAN KWANTEN
What's not to love about Jason Stackhouse? #1 He's GORGEOUS. As if that isn't enough (which, for me it is) his character has had the most growth of anyone on True Blood. I NEED to see Ryan Kwanten ingood movies.
3. RED FORMAN
Red reminds me so much of my own father, which is probably the reason I love him so much. That 70's show is great, and Red plays the perfect hardass, yet he's a pushover when his wife and daughter are concerned.
4. REMEMBER THE TITANS
Denzel, Ryan Gosling, Will Patton, Donald Faison. I'm a sucker for football movies (The Blind Side, The Replacements, We Are Marshall), and this is one of, if not THE BEST.

6. READING
These days I'm mostly reading fanfic, but some of my favorite authors to read are Jodi Piccoult & Emily Giffin. I enjoy reading Chelsea Handler's books and the Twilight series (I know I'm gonna get shit for that lol).
7. REID, DR. SPENCE
Matthew Gray Gubler is perfection as Dr. Spencer Reid. Two of my favorite episodes with him are "Masterpiece" and "Revelations". Quote from "Masterpiece":
[during a lecture at a school about joining the FBI]
Reid: [after telling about the studies he's undergone] I’m also completing an additional BA in Philosophy. Which reminds me that I have a joke.
[Rossi looks at him sceptically]
Reid: How many existentialists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Rossi: [whispers] Don’t.
Reid:: Two. One to change the light bulb, and one to observe how it symbolizes an incandescent beacon of subjectivity in another world of cosmic nothingness.
[chuckles, the group remains silent]
Reid: [awkwardly] An existentialist…
Rossi: [interrupts] Okay, before he does his quantum physics knock-knock joke [the group laughs] do we have any other questions about opportunities in the FBI?
8. RENT
Both the musical and the movie are amazing. I highly recommend both to anyone who hasn't seen either of those.
9. RAINBOW COOKIES
10. RALPH'S ITALTIAN ICES
Favorite summertime treat :)
• Write about your favorite character from each fandom.
ever_neutral gave me HIMYM, TVD, BtVS, AtS.BARNEY STINSON (HIMYM)
This man is legenWAITFORITdary! I prefer Barney when he's single, and one of my favorite episodes of HIMYM is when he goes on the Price Is Right (two of my favorite shows coming together). I love that Wayne Brady is his half brother - they are just hilarious together. He lives and dies by the "bro-code". I wish I had a friend like Barney! I'd give him a high-five any day...he's AWESOME!
KATHERINE PIERCE (TVD)
I think the reason I like Katherine so much is because she's the anti-Elena. I much more identify with Katherine the psychotic bitch than Elena the sticky-sweet angel. Katherine looks out for numero uno, and you gotta respect her for that. She's badass and doesn't apologize for it. PLUS, we owe her for vampire!Caroline ;)
Damon Salvatore was a close second. I love him for his sarcasm, wit andmost importantly hotness.
SPIKE (BtVS)
^That scene is my personal favorite of Spike. It ALMOST makes up for the complete bull shit that happened in Empty Places. Spike is consistently my favorite character from season 2 on. I loved him as a badass villain in S2, love's bitch in S3, pathetic, neutered nuisance in S4, almost-sidekick in S5, Buffy's punching bag/sex slave in S6, and her crazy, souled champion in S7. He really gets the short end of the stick from the Scoobies because he doesn't have a soul, but when he gets gets one (and then actually kills people, ironic heh?) he still isn't good enough for them (or the potentials, which is MEGA annoying).
I could go on and on and on about Spike, but I won't. I'd love to list my favorite episodes, but it'd be a ridiculously long list. I particularly love the scene when he gets busted in the basement with Faith - it could be because he's shirtless and damn is he sexy all rumpled on that cot. He provides some comic relief in Ats S5, but he's nowhere as great as he is on Buffy. However, he is GREAT in "In The Dark". Hilarious rooftop scene!
WESLEY WYNDHAM-PRYCE (AtS)
I couldn't find a better Wes gif. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be many available through a Google search. I would've LOVED a gif of him and Cordy acting out Buffy/Angel - hands down one of the best scenes on AtS. I wasn't a fan of Wes until AtS, I was pretty indifferent to him in Buffy (although I did laugh at him being knocked unconscious during the battle at graduation). It broke my heart when he stole Connor, got his throat slashed, and everyone turned against him. I really felt bad for him, BUT it did give us Wes/Lilah so it can't be all that bad. I ship Wes with either Lilah or Fred, which I guess is kinda weird because the relationships, as well as the women, couldn't be more different.
Scruffy Wes = teh HAWTNESS

Date: 2011-08-28 10:42 pm (UTC)Red Foreman also awesome, I miss the 70s Show.
Wesley! I agree with you on this one. I love his little dance in that episode though, so I like your gif. I ship Wes with either Lilah or Fred (maybe Fred just a bit more) too!
I never had rainbow cookies! o.O Are they good?
no subject
Date: 2011-08-29 03:34 am (UTC)Rainbow cookies are delicious! You have to get them from a good Italian bakery, because they can be dry if they're not made well. I made two rainbow cakes last holiday season, and I have to say they came out delicious! And no, I'm not Italian lol

Date: 2011-08-29 10:57 am (UTC)As much as I like Elena, I identify a lot with Katherine too, lol. I adore that she looks out for no. 1, and that she's completely unapologetic. Ugh, fabulous.
And, obviously, yes to Spike and Wes. My boys.
