Long and boring ramblings

[raisingirl99]

Random (long-ish) thoughts of the day…


I haven't watched All My Children on a regular basis in I'm not sure how many months. However, from what I've seen, I had been enjoying Kendall and Aidan. I thought they had great chemistry, I've grown to include Kendall in my list of favorite characters (even though I couldn't stand her when Alicia Minshew joined the cast of AMC), and I think Aiden Turner is charming and adorable.

However.

Yesterday, one of my friends compared Aidan/Kendall to a couple that I am firmly against, and I can no longer support an Aidan/Kendall pairing.

The couple? Seth and Summer from The O.C.

Think about it. Both involve a somewhat obnoxious, snarky female who can be downright mean to the guy. Both involve a sweet, appealing guy who adores the witch-y girl, despite said cruelty. In both cases, the guy deserves to be treated better, perhaps by the third part of the equation (Mia/Anna), who seems to care much more about the well-being of the guy.

To me, the couples really are similar, and since I can't bring myself to support Summer/Seth, I can't in good conscience continue to support Kendall/Aidan.

So, it's time for me to give Aidan/Mia a chance, and hope to goodness that the show doesn't go with Kendall/Ryan. (I think Kendall's awesome, but I cannot stand her with Ryan. Besides, I enjoy Ryan and Greens together.)

Speaking of The O.C.


As most of you probably know, I'm fairly obsessed with The O.C., and I'm a fan of Seth and Anna. So, it probably doesn't come as a shock that my dream triangle (which one of my friends suggested quite some time ago) would be Seth/Anna/Ryan.

I'm thinking something a little along the lines of Dawson's Creek. Let Anna and Seth get together for good (no more Seth/Summer, a.k.a. Dawson/Jen, though I know those pairings aren't that alike). Let them be happy for a while, but then have something come between them, maybe Seth's immaturity. Have Anna and Ryan grow closer, develop feelings for each other, but then be afraid to do anything about it for fear of ruining their friendships with Seth.

Yes, there are problems with this comparison, such as the fact that ultimately I'd want Seth and Anna together (and I did not want Joey to end up with Dawson). Still, I think it would be interesting to watch, if for no other reason that it would provide lots of chances for good, heated, subtexty scenes between Ryan and Seth. ;) (Wait, what am I saying? As if the subtext isn't obvious in all of their scenes! ;))

Then again, I probably just want this because I love Seth, Anna, and Ryan (and don't care for Summer or Marissa). =) By the way, Ryan? I love him now. Absolutely love him. Benjamin McKenzie is hilarious, and his brand of humor complements Adam Brody's beautifully.

I'm sure you really wanted to know all this, right? ;)

I hope I didn't offend anyone with my comments. They're just my opinions (and not particularly popular ones at that).

I hope everyone has a wonderful evening. =)

Also... yay Panthers! =)

I'm obviously a little too fixated on fan fiction, because I thought at first that you wanted all that to happen in fanfiction, not on the show. Because where you said 'triangle', my brain read 'threesome'. And I was thinking,
'well, I'm going to have some time over holidays. I'll write that for her.'

But, on the show? Yeah, that would be cool, too. I'm going to try to warm up to Anna, and really, I just want to see Ryan with anybody but Marissa. Except, is there anyway to do this without hurting Seth? I love Seth.

I'm big on funny!Ryan, too. Oooh, now I can't wait for tomorrow night.

And I was thinking,
'well, I'm going to have some time over holidays. I'll write that for her.'

Aw, that's really sweet of you. :) Threesome? I wouldn't mind being Anna in that case. ;)

I know a *lot* of people aren't particular fond of Anna. Hmmm, I don't want to see Seth hurt, either. Unless I can be the one who comforts him. ;)

You're so lucky to be able to see The O.C. tomorrow. :P

[shoshannagold.livejournal.com]

Threesome? I wouldn't mind being Anna in that case. Nope. Not many people would. Not the sane ones, anyway.

If this paper doesn't hurry up and write itself, there will be no viewing of The O.C. *sigh* Oh, who am I kidding? Everybody needs to take breaks, right?

[raisingirl99.livejournal.com]

Everybody needs to take breaks, right?

Definitely! :) Then you'll be refreshed and better able to get everything done. Besides, it can be your motivation before the episode airs (if I get this much done, then I can watch The O.C....).

Aren't I a bad influence? ;)

Wait, now I actually am starting to feel guilty. So if you need to ignore me, go right ahead. Oh, and again, good luck with everything.

No worries. I'm all about the distractions. But my comuputer died today, so if I'm not in touch very much over the next week, that's why. *sob* I want my computer to work! *sob*

I got another extension, so I got to watch The O.C! It rocked!

[raisingirl99.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you got an extension! Yay! :) (I'm also glad The O.C. rocked! ;))

As I just said on your journal, I am so sorry about your computer. Did I read you're thinking of getting a laptop?

[shoshannagold.livejournal.com]

Did I read you're thinking of getting a laptop? A laptop is what I dream about. Oh, for a laptop. Not even Santa loves me that much.

So I think you may have been in my dream last night, at least peripherally... not to creep you out.

In the dream I told Shia that I mentioned him in my thesis (even though I haven't). He was (predictably) toolish about it. A.J. was there, and he was upset that I hadn't mentioned him. I think your role was to be upset too.

I have not been able to watch AMC for awhile (I cannot wait for Wednesday when I turn everything in), but I have been loving the whole Kendall and Bianca plot line. Whee!

[raisingirl99.livejournal.com]

Yay for Wednesday! That's exciting!

Wow, I turned up in your dream? With AJ? *g* Shame on Shia, even if it is predictable and, you know, a dream. =)

[fullycompletely.livejournal.com]

AHAHA YOUR ICON. That's awesome.

[raisingirl99.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks. :)

Sorry, but I don't think we see eye to eye on this. Me, I was glad Joey picked Pacey. Mostly because I hated Dawson. I like the Summer/Seth/Anna triangle the way it is so far (I'm backed up on episodes so please don't give away any spoilers >_< !). I don't like Marissa all that much, but Ryan and Anna? I just don't see it. She's too happy and well-adjusted for him, I think. He's more of the brooding, angsty type.

[raisingirl99.livejournal.com]

Me, I was glad Joey picked Pacey.

Oh, me, too. (Sorry if I said otherwise before. :\) I hated Dawson at the time, but that was simply because I thought he might come between Pacey and Joey.

Ryan and Anna? I just don't see it. She's too happy and well-adjusted for him, I think. He's more of the brooding, angsty type.

Mmm, I see your point. I guess that's why it's more of my dream storyline than anything I think actually would (or even could and still make sense) happen on the show. I still think that, taken slowly, it might not be so hard to believe, but yeah, I see your point.

I caught about a minute of AMC the other day, long enough to see & hear two guys exchanging words of love. Do you know who I'm talking about, and if so, could you satisfy my curiosity as to whether they're brothers, lovers, or what?

[raisingirl99.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I haven't been watching enough lately to know off the top of my head who they would be, but I have a few people I can ask. I'm almost 100% sure that they're not lovers, though that would certainly shake things up a bit on the show. =)

[simplelyric.livejournal.com]

I'm almost 100% sure that they're not lovers

I figured that was less likely, but the possibility certainly caught my attention. *g* I only didn't stick around to watch more because my mom was there and would've complained because she hates soap operas.
