BioMy name is Cujoy, and these are the things I'm interested in and generally post about:
TV: When I first joined LJ, I was really into The 4400 (I was, the maintainer of the LiveJournal![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
4400spoilers board. Which, alas isn't very active any more since the show is long over.) I then fell in Fanly Love with Battlestar Galactica - which I'll still call my current OTS One True Show, even though it is also over.
But I'm also into Mad Men, Primeval, Chuck, Leverage, My Boys, The Amazing Race, and Survivor. I actually rather picky about what shows appeal to me. It either does or doesn't I totally dropped Heroes because it just stopped gelling. Ditto, Lost. I like The Sarah Connor Chronicles, but not enough to get past my distaste of every thing related to Fox.
As I said above, my OTS is Battlestar Galactica. My OTC is Samuel T. Anders. And of course my OTP is Kara/Sam. I just can't get enough of those two kids, even if I'm spitting in the face of the overwhelmingly popular Kara/Lee ship. ;) I'm contrary that way. It's a curse.
Though I'm a fan of Supernatural, I'm definitely not "in the fandom" which I think is the wankiest thing out there. The main reason is that I find Wincest heave worthy and ewwwwwwwww. To be perfectly honest, I'm not a slasher. I'm a het-shipper. And no, as a matter of fact, that DOESN'T make me homophobic. So don't even go there. I find some slash very hot, and I can enjoy it occasionally in an AU way. But that's what it is to me... AU. And most of it? Pure comedy gold. I never have had, and most likely never will have a slash OTP.
And I actually like every female character they've ever brought on Supernatural. I liked Jo. I love both Rubies. I adore Anna. I ship Dean/Anna & Sam/Ruby. (They better damn well redeem her!)
Don't get me started on the female character bashing in fandom. I've been around long enough to have seen it all, and am at the point where I'm hyper sensitive too it, and basically will defend ALL female characters on any show just because! So there.
I also refuse to take a position on whether Sam or Dean is hotter. Because they're are both so super smokin' hot, who the hell cares!
One other fandom I've dabbled in recently is Avatar: The Last Airbender. I was lucky, I found that one just as it was ending, and was able to catch up on marathons. It was a great little show! Great male and female characters, and a simple true-hearted story. I think the movie casting white kids in roles that are clearly Asian is terrible! And I ship Zuko/Katara, I don't care about the canon Aang/Katara, Zuko/Mai ending. I also don't care that the Zutara shippers have a history of severe wank.
Movies: I loved Sky High, which is a dorky little Disney movie from a few years ago. It was just adorable and needs to become a franchise. I adored Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, though I've never been able to work my way through either fandom. I'm really looking forward to the Star Trek reboot.
Sports: Baseball (Reds, Cubs & White Sox) Football (Bengals, Bears, Colts, Steelers) Ben Roethisberger is my football crush. (It's another curse.)
Politics: I'm a Liberal. I am very happy about the election of Barack Obama. I know his administration has a lot of work to do, because the last one left a Cluster. I am active and involved in my local Democratic party ogranization. (If this bothers you, I don't care.)
I think the war in Iraq is wrong, always wrong, and very wrong. And Tax Cuts For The Wealthy sure as heck didn't do me any good.
All that being said, I'm thinking most of my journal entries will probably revolve around media and sports, with an occasional foray into politics. I don't generally talk about the family or personal matters - mostly because I don't want to embarrass the loved ones... but I sometimes make oblique references to "the guys" and to my extended, sports loving family here in Chicago...
In regards to my fandom tastes. I try my best to keep my fandom about the things that I love, not the things that I hate. I am, however, quite capable of issuing a good old fashioned rant when I think one is justified. You've been warned.
Cujoy.
FYI - If you want to be my Friend, that's great! You don't need to ask, and I'll be happy to Friend you back.
PS - Although I am obviously a media fan, I totally boycott Most things Fox. (Because of their crime-against-journalism news channel. Good thing I don't really like anything they show anyway.)
Complete list of OTC's & OTP's by fandom:
