Right...so Other than Avatar, what do you guys/girls dig? Favorite books/series? Anime and manga?
I'm a big reader, and some series I"m really into right now are Wheel of Time (even though I have neglected to finish the last two books, but hey), Harry Potter, and G.R.R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice (Or maybe it's Ice and Fire. I always forget.)
I also love anime: Bleach is our latest craze, and I really need to finish up what is out.
Also, we're crazy gamers. D&D, BESM, L5R, Exalted.
Yeah. I'm the Queen of the Dorks. Anyone with me?

I'm not that big a dork, but my husband is. He's a huge D&D fan, but hasn't played since his dad died a couple weeks ago. I like Martin Mystery, Full Metal Alchemist, and tons of Nick cartoons like Danny Phantom, Fairly Oddparents, and Spongebob. Then there's Disney shows like Kim Possible and American Dragon: Jake Long (which also shares and pairs the voices of our favorite Avatar couple). Yay!
Plus, I'm a big Final Fantasy freak. And Kingdom Hearts. And Mario. And Donkey Kong. ;D I love video games.

Full Metal Alchemist looks great--I've seen an epi or two, and I really want to get to watch the whole thing in order. My husband watches Danny Phantom and AD: Jake Long (omg I didn't realize they did that too!!) (OMG--The guy that voices Zuko is from HOOK! Omg, and now he's all grown up!)
OK, getting back to being coherient. I really like Kim Possible (Ron! Squee!) and even the movies. OMG, so cheesy. I love cheesy.
Also, I have a one year old. Jenna, I understand you have a baby? Is it not the most UNREAL experience ever? Our boy is way into electronics. I'm forever taking away the telephone, the remote, the game controls, etc.

lmfao Me too! My daughter always plays with the keyboard while I'm on the computer. She helps me write some of the chapters on my fan fiction story and everyone loves it lol. She's always trying to grab my cell phone and playing with remotes and stuff. She'll be one at the end of February. She's been learning to walk the last couple of weeks and she will NOT sit still. If I put her in her bouncy seat, she screams at me because she wants to walk. She still doesn't have any teeth, but my mom thinks they may all come at the same time, which may or may not be a bad thing lol. I'm not sure about that one.
Dante Basco is Rufio! *chants* RUFIO! RUFIO! He's so cute.. *sigh* He plays in that new Antonio Banderas movie "Take The Lead" too. I love that movie, especially the scene at the end where he does the tango. I watched that scene so many times over and over that I practically have it memorized lol. He's on my Myspace friends list.
Yeah, the crazy thing about AD: JL is that Jake (Dante) and Rose (Mae) are supposed to be enemies but they like each other. I think it should've been like that with Zuko (Dante) and Katara (Mae). That's still freaky and an even better reason for Zutara to happen! *squee!* lol I love Ron (KP). He's always losing his pants! And Rufus is so cute! Very smart for a little molerat.

I loved it when Ron and KP hooked up in So the Drama! And while the Zutara paiiring is cute I'm still a huge fan of AngxKatara I just am^^ But Zuko is still the best character in the show. and as far as KP goes, Rufus ownz all!!!

Yeah, I wish Ron and Kim would hook up in the show. I think they're just so cute together! Even if he is a little uncoordinated sometimes lol. And Rufus does own! I love when they face off with Monkeyfist cuz Rufus kicks some monkey butt! I wish Ron's monkey ninja moves would kick in sometimes. Ah, maybe if you read some fan fiction or seen some fan art of Zutara, you'd be a bigger fan of it! I know the Katara and Aang relationship is more probable, but Zutara is so romantic with the opposites attract deal.  I've always been a fan of seemingly impossibly relationships and I love it when they actually do work out. Look at this pic from my favorite artist: www.deviantart.com/deviation/42736416/?qo=10&q=by%3Azutara-shewolf777&qh=sort%3Atime |

She's got tons of Zutara and Taang pics that she draws and I love them all.
You guys ever watch Rob & Big on MTV? I hate that channel, but that show is soo funny. Rob is a little skateboarder guy and Big is his bodyguard. They went to a mattress store and Rob was jumping across all the beds and doing flips and stuff and it was soo funny! And this one time at band camp.. ;D lmao sorry..

My husband tells me I'm not supposed to watch MTV.
I just stare at the screen in slack-jawed awe. It's rather disturbing, really.
Jenn, I all have to say, is get some Hylands Teething Tablets, and keep them on hand until your daugher is done teething. (Well, providing they work of her, of course. But definatly give them a shot.)
I LOVE improbably parings. I'm so bad.

lol I'll keep that in mind. I'll need something strong cuz chances are they'll all come in at the same time and it'll be worse for her. Then again, she's pretty strong. Maybe it won't hurt as bad. Gah, I'm afraid lol.
lol MTV zombies! *runs* haha I'm a Nickelodeon zombie. I can barely peel my eyes away from it, but when I do, it's hard to get away from the computer lol. I don't think I'm easily distracted. Maybe that's a good thing, I'm not sure yet. ;D

LOL. I use to be a nick Zombie, now I'm just an Avatar Zombie. I miss the old Nick still. And, asside from the whole Kaatang and Zutara pairings I'm also a supporter of yaoi and yuri. Though it won't happen on a Nick show.

Anime stuff....as I recall, yaoi is same-sex pairing between pretty boys, while yuri is a same-sex pairing between females. Mostly hentai; sometimes it's comedic. (when in doubt, refer to Wikipedia!)
Yeah, I can see it right now--Late Night Nick, all Hentai for it's older audiences. A Nick version of Adult Swim, a la Cartoon Network.

LOL. Yeah. And we can have Sokka and Aang fighting over Zuko. Whie Katara is in love with Toph and Azula is so jealous.
