just along for the ride [HERMIONESPARKLE@lj.com]

I made a sticky post about where to find me on DW, LJ, and elsewhere. I wasn't going to do a intro post over here but since I am adding new friends and "restarting" basically on DW, I thought I had better do one. :)


Name: Jamie
Location: NE Ohio.
Job: Part time worker at a pizza place. I had struggled to find a job for quite awhile before I landed this one and I am shocked how much I like it.
Other various things: Oldest of 3. Anxious. Homebody. I have one friend I still hang out with semi-regularly and we have been friends since high school. Most of my other "real life" friends have moved away or are busy with life. I love fiercely and miss people/friendships I shouldn't miss. Loves laughter, candy (skittles & minty candies are my crack), the color blue, names, glitter, and photographs (taking/looking at/sorting/making art from them online/etc. I love family history stuff as well). Sensitive soul.

Fandom activities: Making icons, tweeting, sometimes reading fanfic, making fanlistings (I 'own' over a 100!!), joining fanlistings, & making screencaps (not so much sorting them though, haha!). Of all of these, the fanlistings ones are my main fandom excitement right now. You can see all of the fanlisting stuffs, here.

TV shows airing that I watch: Mom, Modern Family, Black-ish, Superstore, Once Upon A Time (may be dropping though), Big Bang Theory, Hawaii Five-0, Bob's Burgers, Blindspot, The Good Place, Deadliest Catch, Fuller House, Little Women LA, Little Women Dallas, Outdaughtered, 7 Little Johnston's, Little People, Big World, Teen Mom, Judge Judy. I also sort of watch How to Get Away with Murder, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, & This is Us.

My other TV show loves: Gilmore Girls, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, ER, Full House, Charmed, Little House on the Prairie, The Waltons, Parenthood, Mike & Molly, Downton Abbey, Party of Five, Angel, The Guild, King of the Hill, Reba, House, Home Improvement, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Sister, Sister, Girl Meets World, Boy Meets World, That 70s Show, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Mama's Family, M*A*S*H, and a lot more.

Movies: Harry Potter films, Now & Then, Disney (Mulan, Emperor's New Groove, Black Cauldron, Great Mouse Detective, Lion King, Aladdin, Princess & the Frog, the Aristocrats, 101 Dalmatians, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid..basically like them all besides the more recent ones), anything Shirley Temple (favorite is The Littlest Rebel, Heidi, and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm), The Mummy 1 & 2, George of the Jungle, Austin Powers series, Moulin Rouge, Where the Heart is, and more I am sure I am forgetting at the moment.

Celebrities: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Melissa McCarthy, Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen, Dakota & Elle Fanning, Busy Phillips, Drew Barrymore, Shirley Temple, Seth Green.

Music: Backstreet Boys, Green Day, Kelly Clarkson, Pink, The Beatles, Eminem, Adele, Britney Spears, Madonna, Sia, and basically anything from the 1990s. If it's catchy, chances are that I like it.

Books: Harry Potter series, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, Baby-Sitters Club series (I collect them), & I love non-fiction and biographies.

Sports: I. Love. Sports. I pay most attention to the Cleveland Indians (baseball), gymnastics (both the elite world and college gymnastics), & NASCAR (especially Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Bubba Wallace, Elliott Salder, Jamie McMurray, & Ryan Blaney). I mostly ramble on twitter about these sports. I am a life long Indians fan who still can't think of last year's World Series (and 95 & 97) without cringing and wanting to cry. I have loved gymnastics since the 1996 Olympics when I became obsessed with Dominique Moceanu. NASCAR I have loved since around 1994 which is when I noticed Jeff Gordon's rainbow car and I was hooked. I also watch football. I am by default a Cleveland Browns fan but also pay attention to/support the New England Patriots & Dallas Cowboys. I also like figure skating & beach volleyball.

I think that's it. If you want to know more about me, than please leave me a comment. :)

So um, it's, um, been, um, awhile. Oops. Life, ya know?

Anyways, I thought I would start out slow back into the journal world and just update this journal about what I am planning to watch this fall. Can you believe it is nearly time for fall tv?!?!?! Where has the year gone?!?!

What I plan to watch:
Young Sheldon - I already watch Big Bang and I watched the "first look" for this on TVline.com. I think it looks cute. Plus it will be fun to see how they develop the other members of Sheldon's family. I am most interested in his mother since she will be played by Laurie Metcalf's daughter.

Will & Grace - Not really a new show and I watched it off and on back in the day. But I have a lot of memories attached to this show and I am interested to see what they do with it.

The Gospel of Kevin or Kevin (Probably) Saves the World [whatever they are calling it now] - I have a soft spot for Jason Ritter. J. August Richards & Joanna Garcia Swisher are also awesome so I gotta give this one a try.

Law & Order : True Crime - The cast is rad especially Sam Jaeger & Anthony Edwards.

The Orville - Well part of me is watching it because it is the same street name as mine (though spelled differently) haha. Also, I do enjoy Seth Macfarlane & Scott Grimes and wacky funny things so I will watch at least the pilot.

Marvel's Inhumans - I am not sure about this one yet. I do watch S.H.I.E.L.D but I mainly watch for Ming-Na and I am pretty behind. Thoughts?


I also have plans for another post about the shows I already watch and how long I have been watching them. I'll have to do just shows that will also be on this fall or it'll be wayyyy too long. Hehe.

What about you all? What are you watching anything new this fall?

I just did a deletion of my personal entries on LJ but now I think I am going to delete anything that isn't strictly fandom now. The new terms over there have me nervous. I am staying over there for now because still run a few communities. If I thought that I could move them onto Dreamwidth, I would move over and be done with it. Sad to think about but it's time to move on. I am moving on in a lot of aspects of my life right now. That would be just an extra step.

I am horrible when it comes to recasting or swapping genders or cross overs or whatever so here is my sad attempt lol.

LJ has been really sucky lately. I may have to switch to this journal for random purposes since it doesn't take 5 years to load. I haven't touched it in nearly a year, how sad! I need a new layout and fun stuff here. I had forgotten about my default icon, I was so proud of it when I made it. /done being random.
