I don't fangirl about movies/tv/celebrities. I get swoony about several characters, but am too realistic to think I'd actually enjoy hanging out with the celebrities themselves. I *might* be convinced to enjoy a poster of a particularly decorative celebrity, but not to wear a shirt that only exists as a wearable poster of the same. On the other hand, I enjoy a good in-joke or crossover.

Movies I like to watch repeatedly: Princess Bride, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, Sound of Music, Harry Potter series, Iron Man

TV Shows I have watched multiple seasons of in their entirety, in no particular order: Agents of SHIELD, Stargate, Sherlock, QI, Good Eats, My Little Pony, Alias, CSI (original only), House, Star Trek: TNG, Stargate Atlantis, Archer, iZombie, Color Splash, Monk, The Guild, Nero Wolfe, Diners Drive-ins and Dives

Movies I have recently watched or look forward to: Star Wars, Avengers, The Hobbit, Ender's Game, Hunger Games
