dreaming_faerie:
1) Winx Club
The show I never expected to fall in love with like I have. I'm actually a latecomer to the Winx fandom as well. The first episode I ever saw was Season 3, Episode 1! And it pretty much captured me - probably having something to do with the Omega Dimension/Trix/Baltor/Ice Snakes. Well, after that first episode, I repeatedly watched the opening song and downloaded the first season (I happily own it on DVD now), watched it in a week, watched Season 3, Episode 2, and downloaded Season 2 (which I also own on DVD now), and watched it the next week. After that, I was hooked and the rest is...history?
This show got me back into writing/creative things after a really long "dry spell" too. So it's like the spiritual successor to Jewel Riders in that respect.
2) 80s Cartoons
Well, being born in 1985, I didn't actually get to watch many of these great toons when they first ran, but I devoured them in reruns!
Some 80s childhood favorites: Transformers, Dinosaucers, TMNT, Muppet Babies, Gummi Bears, Duck Tales, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Inspector Gadget
Some 80s current favorites: He-Man/MOTU, Jem, Dungeons and Dragons
Some I still want to see: GI Joe, She-Ra, Galaxy Rangers
3) Aladdin and Jasmine
One of my absolute favorite OTPs. I think they have one of the best dynamics of all the Disney couples. This may be because we got to see so much more of them through the two sequels and the animated series. :)
They've got real quirks too - like Aladdin is totally prideful, and Jasmine gets bent of a shape really easily over little things. That imperfection just adds to their charm to me.
4) Sarah Brightman
My absolute favorite musician. I've been lucky enough to see her perform live twice now, and each time I was blown away. She's pushing 50, and her voice is still AMAZING. Plus, she's always trying new things. They may not always work, but I like it that she's still growing as a musician.
The first CD of hers I listened to was La Luna, and it was pretty much instant love. That was back in 1999 or 2000, and I've enjoyed every CD since. And pretty much every previous CD as well (except perhaps Fly, which I have very mixed feelings about). Nobody will ever be Christine (in Phantom of the Opera) to me like Sarah; the part was basically written for her, after all.
And when she hits those high notes, protect your crystal glassware! :D
5) RPing
Playing over at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
winxclubrpg has been one of the most fun experiences I've ever had. Even if it's incredibly time-consuming and constantly draws me away from necessary schoolwork. XD
It's the first time I've ever RPed, and I love how it not only improves your writing on a technical level, but teaches you to really get inside a character's head and see what motivates them.
Did I mention how addicting and fun it is? It's kind of like drugs for writers - you get instant feedback, creative collaboration, and the ability to play in somebody else's universe! :)
~~~***~~~
Midterm update: Only five hours of sleep last night. Joy! Thankfully we have tomorrow off to study for the last midterm on Friday.
Also, I am so weak. Collecting instinct took over and I just bought this lot of Italian Winx on eBay to complete my collection. Though I still want the Trix!

I love the Trix dolls! They're definitely my favorite Italians. I still wish they'd made Diaspro, Mirta, Chimera and the other boys instead of the lameass mermaids. *sigh*

Date: 2009-02-18 10:14 pm (UTC)I know, right? There were six of those mermaids - SIX! That would have covered Disa, Chimera, Mirta, Riven, Timmy, and Helia! A Nabu and a Baltor would have been cool too.
It really bothers me that they're the non-speaking mermaids. I mean, couldn't one of them at least have been Tressa or something?
The Italian Daphne is lovely too - I'm definitely coveting her. I want either her or the Mattel Daphne, but I can't decide!
