Which fictional character do you think I resemble the most, in terms of personality?

Would you like them listed by fandom?

I'm gonna go with Sam and I mean that in a GOOD way. (Icon only kinda related)

But you're nicer. You're some sort of crazy Sam/Willow/Castiel hybrid.

...

That would be awesome if 2 out of 3 of those named didn't go evil and stuff.

*is a bit creeped out now*

[gadgetorious.livejournal.com]

Welllll, you DO get cranky when stressed. ;)

Seriously though, Sam doesn't go evil, per se. They are just both victims of their magical addictions. I'm sure you know something about that, Ms. Wants-a-poster-of-Chris-for-her-office-door.

[caitri.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure a poster of Chris is not the same as stuck to the ceiling magic benders....

[gadgetorious.livejournal.com]

No, it's a gateway obsession. And Willow totally learned her lesson.

Soooooooo when I go all veiny who's going to remember the yellow crayon?

[gadgetorious.livejournal.com]

I take it all back, Cait. You are totally the Ernie to my Bert.

[caitri.livejournal.com]

I....don't even.

[gadgetorious.livejournal.com]

You're really just not going to accept anything but what you want to hear, are you? ;)

ALRIGHT. YOU'RE JIM KIRK, OKAY?

[caitri.livejournal.com]

For the record it's LESS about being Jim Kirk and MORE ABOUT BEING A GENDERLESS PUPPET!

[gadgetorious.livejournal.com]

You do realize that none of these characters are real, right? And genderless? What?

[caitri.livejournal.com]

Yes I do know none of them are real.

And I'm just saying that puppets don't have parts and that concept applied to me freaks me out.

[gadgetorious.livejournal.com]

Where is your imagination, woman? Just like the CHARACTERS in movies are not the actor that plays them, the CHARACTER of Ernie is not a puppet. He's a dude with a bizarre love for his rubber bath toy.

This is really how you spent your childhood? Watching Sesame Street and thinking about whether or not Bert and Ernie had little felt dicks? NOW IT IS MY TURN TO "I DON'T EVEN"

[caitri.livejournal.com]

Haven't we covered previously that Sesame Street didn't really play a role in my childhood?

[gadgetorious.livejournal.com]

Okay, here's what we're gonna do. You pick the character you WANT to be and list everything you like about them. Then we'll say that that was my answer and put all this behind us because OMG, apparently I do not think what I thought I thought.

[caitri.livejournal.com]

I'm cool with Jim or Sam except for the evil part.

I just want to not be evil or not have genitals, IS THAT SO WRONG?

[gadgetorious.livejournal.com]

You know, Ernie doesn't have a spine, or a brain or internal organs of any kind, and most of the time he doesn't have LEGS. What is the preoccupation with his muppet junk? Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean you're meant to assume it doesn't exist. YOU NEVER SEE DEAN'S DICK, BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THE CHARACTER IS MEANT TO HAVE ONE.

[caitri.livejournal.com]

But muppets are not characters they are INANIMATE OBJECTS WITH PEOPLE'S HANDS IN THEM.

Except for the ones in Smile Time.

[gadgetorious.livejournal.com]

That's like saying that Batman's not character because he's drawn. Or Gollum's not a character because he's CGI.

[caitri.livejournal.com]

My brain.

I give you it.

[reena_jenkins]

Well, first I was gonna say, "You're like the Librarian, 'cause you work in a Library that involves the bending of Space and Time, and also you enjoy your work."

But then I saw you much you didn't like being compared to Willow or Sam, and they're human so I take it back.

You're like a female, gender-parts-included, Waldorf or Statler, 'cause you've got a witty-yet-snarky comeback for everything.

[caitri.livejournal.com]

...

That's the most terrifying answer by FAR.

o_0

[reena_jenkins]

....but at least it's memorable, yes?

[caitri.livejournal.com]

Very much so.

I will be remembering it for years in the therapist's office.

[gadgetorious.livejournal.com]

You really need to get over your muppet hate. Bigotry is an ugly, ugly thing, Cait.

[caitri.livejournal.com]

[dramapunk.livejournal.com]

Oh Gee I don't know I could say Kirk to make you squee but I wont I am gonna have to say you remind me of Willow from buffy. <3 Because you are that awesome, but Willow before she became a witch.

[caitri.livejournal.com]

See, THANK YOU FOR SPECIFYING THE NON-EVIL!!!!!!!!!!

[dramapunk.livejournal.com]

You're welcome eeep gotta jet I have film theory to talk about with idiots. But I just wanted to say I never liked what JW did to Willow's char.

[caitri.livejournal.com]

I'm cool with the character, I just prefer to be associated with NON EVIL. *eyes gadgetorious pointedly*

[gadgetorious.livejournal.com]

Dude. I didn't say evil Willow. Haven't we already discussed that I don't believe in the existence of the last few seasons of Buffy like A MILLION TIMES. Jesus.

[caitri.livejournal.com]

A nonexistent disclaimer is no one's friend.

[gadgetorious.livejournal.com]

I fucking give up.

[szkoda.livejournal.com]

I think you are very Kaylee-like. My argument:
1) Lots of squeeing
2) A love of a detailed subject that requires both intelligence and physicality
3) Apparent comfort in a Western-like atmosphere
4) Joy over things like fresh strawberries and other culinary delicacies
5) You are very genuine

(For the other guesses so far: Muppets are wonderful characters with a breadth of personality, but none of them really fit as well. Same with Star Trek. And I haven't watched all that much Buffy...I will someday when I have time and/or tenure.)

[caitri.livejournal.com]

I <3 you.

Unrelated, are there now or have there been in the past 25 years gas burners at CERN?

[szkoda.livejournal.com]

For stoves? I would think so...
For experiments? Probably not-- my impression is that those are used for chemistry, and CERN doesn't really do tabletop experiments.

[caitri.livejournal.com]

Okay that's what I thought. I'm betaing an AU where Jim Kirk's dad is a physicist who dies because in a CERN lab and I'm like, I'm pretty sure there aren't that kinda labs there...

[szkoda.livejournal.com]

It is in character for a physicist-type person to use a kitchen burner for ridiculous reasons, though. So if it is an at-home type of lab experiment, that would be reasonable.
Alternately, the dad could somehow sneak past the elaborate security measures, and get caught in a beam line. (Radiation poisoning!) I don't think that's ever happened at CERN, but it could hypothetically happen.

Duly ntoed!!! <3
