This looked like a fun meme, so I thought why not?

Meme from [info]jannika   :

1. REPLY TO THIS POST, AND I WILL PICK THREE OF YOUR ICONS AND SEVEN OF YOUR INTERESTS.
2. MAKE A POST (INCLUDING THE MEME INFO) AND TALK ABOUT THE ICONS/INTERESTS I CHOSE.
3. OTHER PEOPLE CAN THEN COMMENT TO YOU AND MAKE THEIR OWN POSTS.
4. THIS WILL CREATE A NEVER-ENDING CYCLE OF SQUEE. WHOO!

Interests:

80s Television: If I had a channel that aired 80s sitcoms 24/7, I would be a very happy girl. There is just something special about those shows. Sure, they were a little preachy at times, but you had fun characters and writing that provided laughs without the constant sex joke. And, well ... there were some cute guys who graced the screen at times.

Adam Lamberg: I love this boy. I really really do. As Gordo, he was witty yet lovable. To be honest, without him, "Lizzie McGuire" would have been doomed. You needed one level-headed person among the main characters. Lizzie was too consumed with popularity, and while Miranda did have some spunk, she fell to peer pressure fairly easy. Gordo had his faults, but it just made him more real.

But enough of Gordo. I have seen nearly every project Adam has done. I own the short, "Pirates of Central Park," which is the cutest thing ever. (I have screencaps to prove it!) I've seen "When Do We Eat," in which he plays an autistic kid named Lionel, about 3 times. I avidly followed it for like a year before it was released on DVD ... maybe 2.

I"m now anxiously waiting to see "Beautiful Loser." I've read some early scripts online, and they have me excited.

Full House: I grew up with this show. Every Tuesday night, my family and I would gather around the TV to watch the new episode. I thought DJ and Steph were cool, and well .... Michelle was my age. Later on, I watched reruns numerous times, and well ... through "Lizzie McGuire" fandom, became humored by the character of "Danny Tanner."

Kim, I love you, but I will never forget the "intervention" scene you wrote in your fanfiction, "Digital Bean Smoothie: Uncut and Uncensored" (Part 2). It brought a whole new level of love for the show.

Old Nick Shows: This was my childhood! "Clarissa," "Are You Afraid of the Dark," the old "All That," "Secret World of Alex Mack"...."Kenan and Kel"....."Double Dare"...."What Would U Do"...."Wild and Crazy Kids"...."Legends of the Hidden Temple"....

There is just so much to love here! The comedies were quirky and strange, the game shows involved crazy stunts, and the Midnight Society told stories that scared me. I watch the Food Channel all the time because Marc Summer hosts some of the shows. It just brings me memories.

And well ... the girls had so much spunk! Clarissa always revealed her plans on her amazing computer ... despite the retro graphics. Alex Mack shot electricity through her fingers ... and outsmarted the science lab. And well, nothing was impossible on "All That."

That 70s Show: I found this show toward the end of its run. I had heard a lot of my friends rave about it, but I just couldn't get into it. But reruns helped me. It's quirky and really sets the tone of 70s life. Red is that tough as nails but loving father that was quite accurate of the times. Eric/Donna and Jackie/Hyde also kept me watching. I love the little scene transitions, and well ... my co-worker and I used to belt out the theme song when we delivered newspapers to the hotels on weekends.

Wonder Years: Kevin/Winnie forever! I watched this show religiously when I was in early middle school. There is just something special about the show. Even though it was set in the 60s, it relates to any decade. It just reveals life during those awkward years during puberty. It shows the ups, the downs, and even the in-betweens. I also think I connected to this show because Kevin was roughly the age of my parents during this decade. So it was like a glimpse into their childhood ... or at least the world around it.

Growing Pains: Yet another show I lived for during 6th and 7th grade. I have to admit that I found Kirk Cameron to be quite cute during early 1987 and 1989. I wasn't too fond of his mullet style in late '87 and '88. The show just made me laugh numerous times over the seasons, although it did falter toward the end. (I didn't care much for Chrissy.) Sure, the show had its over-the-top moments, but you have to love a show with a character named Boner!

Icons:

LWD: Life

This was a fun icon.  I just thought the whole scene captured a domestic idea.  Very husband/wife-y.


Adam Lamberg: Smile

Because ... who can't smile back at this picture?  He's just so happy here.  A happy Adam = a happy me.


LWD: Geek Love

When I saw the Auditions podcast and realized that both Mike and Ashley were wearing glasses ... I thought of this "geekdom love" and well ... this icon emerged.  But it's cute.

That fanfiction was just so many levels of awesome! I mean, Bob Saget hosted a reality show involving us!

We also had a magical fro, special appearances from Ben Stiller, and a hunt for Camille and Susan Duff. A crazy, yet memorable experience.

And you're such a kickass writer, so it made it even better!

Thanks! I've written even more disturbing things since then, if you can believe it.

Didn't you write a slew of "American Idol" fanfictions?

I vaguely remember reading one. I remember some action taking place at a pool?
Mrs. 'Oh my God, that Kim is Shameless'[info]atoasterstrudel on April 13th, 2008 03:46 pm (UTC)
I wrote two Idol fanfictions, yeah! Then I wrote the Cheese series, and then I write political slash which was the crowning glory of my disturbing writing. :D

XD This was a fun post.

I <3 Adam Lamberg too, and you're right, he did take the show. Maybe it's just because he was my age and the girls were younger, but I know without him I would never have watched the show.

I actually love Doris Roberts (is that how you crossed Lizzie with Full House?, or is that an inside joke or something?) but I was just thinking about that time way back when I first got on LJ when we were discussing Lizzie episodes and I totally left out "Gordo's Grandma". (I think that's the episode title) One of the best!

Glad you found it fun!

Adam Lamberg is just amazing. I could watch the boy for hours.

Actually, it wasn't a Doris Roberts connection at all. During my LM fandom, I was part of the Digital Bean Smoothie yahoo group, which was quite the place to be during that time. We produced fanart, a website, and had DBS chats every once and a while. We also had an awards show, and all sorts of discussions about ships, episodes, and whatnot. (Sort of like how the LWD fandom is now.)

During the DBS years, Kim (atoasterstrudel) wrote 2 wonderful fanfictions that involved a reality show that had us DBS members living in a house. The show was hosted by Bob Saget. In the second installment (which has mysteriously disappeared ... *tear*), Bob Saget wants to be bad ... and we stage an intervention to make him become good again. How so? We make him watch hours of "Full House" segments that feature good "Danny Tanner" moments.

It was strangely hilarious.
