Introduction post

[midnight-jo.livejournal.com]

Name: Jolene (but everyone calls me Jo)
Age: 28
Location: Vancouver, Canada
Favorite TV Show: At the moment: Criminal Minds. Of all time: X-Files
Other Shows Watched:
Past - Lost, Alias, The Office UK, Arrested Development, Flight of the Conchords.
Present - Skins, How I Met Your Mother.
I'm also just starting to get into Supernatural, Modern Family, Big Bang Theory, and Fringe.
Favorite Quote: "Act the way you'd like to be and soon you'll be the way you act." -Leonard Cohen
Favorite Color: Yellow
If I was a criminal, I'd be... in prison. I'm not exactly known for my amazing stealth/manipulation skills.


Anyway, I simply wanted to introduce myself and hopefully make some CM-fan friends in the near future! I'm a relative newbie to the fandom, and it saddens me that hardly any of my current friends (on LJ or otherwise) understand/appreciate my newfound love for this amazing show (in actuality they're just sick and tired of hearing me blab about said love almost 24/7 these days. Hah.) It seems like a really fun crowd here. I will definitely make an effort to participate more now that I've gone ahead and gotten the formalities over with. Cheers, and happy Wednesday (the best day)!

Yay, X-Files! Welcome to the community :).

[midnight-jo.livejournal.com]

Eeep! :D The first thing I saw was your FTF icon. I might've flailed a bit. Thanks for the warm welcome!

[doritosaddict.livejournal.com]

Jolene as in Dolly Parton's Jolene? (yes, I'm a fan:P)

Welcome! And you're right, it's pretty active around here;)

[midnight-jo.livejournal.com]

Yes, just like that... except I unfortunately don't have flaming locks of auburn hair or eyes of emerald green. *sigh*

Glad to finally be out and about in the CM community! Thanks for the welcome :)

[doritosaddict.livejournal.com]

Aw, that's too bad.

Glad to have you! There's never enough flailing over CM;-)

I was just in Vancouver this weekend - flying visit - literally - flying from one end of the airport terminal to the other to catch my connecting flight to Edmonton!! Welcome.

And you'll like Supernatural

[midnight-jo.livejournal.com]

Nice!! I hope you enjoyed your visit!

So far I'm enjoying Supernatural. I'm only a few eps into the first season. The only thing is, I can't watch it at night in my apartment by myself. Haha. It's SCARY. (Yes, I'm aware that I'm a wuss.)

[runriggers.livejournal.com]

Well, the airport was nice ...... that was all I saw

[coffeebuddha.livejournal.com]

Welcome to comm! And major love your way for the Leonard Cohen quote. &hearts

[midnight-jo.livejournal.com]

And major love to YOU for loving Leonard Cohen!!! Did you happen to flail as spastically as I did when they used, like... 6 of his classic songs in Our Darkest Hour/The Longest Night???

[coffeebuddha.livejournal.com]

He's Leonard Cohen! How could anyone not love him? Yes! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who spazzed over that! <3

Hi & welcome ♥

[midnight-jo.livejournal.com]

THANKS! <3 your smiley-Garcia icon!!!

[invaderk.livejournal.com]

Welcome! :D

I totally feel you on the "no friends in fandom" thing. It's gotten to the point where I open my mouth and they go "please just shut up." The internet is a wonderful, wonderful place for that!

[westmoon.livejournal.com]

I'm in the same boat. Sometimes I feel like a lone voice crying in the wilderness.

[goddessdster.livejournal.com]

I always think of it as shouting into the wind, myself, but I believe the sentiment is the same. Though I doubt even joining this comm will keep me from spamming my flist. Sorry, flist! ;)

[midnight-jo.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I've been feeling extra bad for my flist these days. One of them even chastised me on twitter the other day when I was spazzing because my local TV website (ctv.ca) hadn't yet uploaded the newest episode to their streaming video section. I think I stopped tweeting about CM for a week after that, then I decided... y'know what? It's my twitter and I can bitch if I want to. :P

[westmoon.livejournal.com]

Exactly!

Love your icon, by the way!

[midnight-jo.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna friend u. Iz okay? I need more people on my flist who understand what it feels like to cry into the wilderness! lol.

Plus your icon is WIN. I laughed so hard when he posted those on twitter!

[westmoon.livejournal.com]

More than okay. :)

[pink-siamese.livejournal.com]

I have some friends who are s-l-o-w-l-y converting (mostly because they want to read my fics and have them make sense). But it's too slow. I'm like come on, man, mainline a season or two already so we'll have something to talk about!

[midnight-jo.livejournal.com]

I totally and completely understand. This is what happens when I try to talk to my friends about my love for CM:



I feel your pain, Spence.

[westmoon.livejournal.com]

Bwah!

Okay. Must stop spamming your post now.

[midnight-jo.livejournal.com]

By all means, spam away!! I am often found guilty of this myself.

[invaderk.livejournal.com]

+1 daily dose of happiness. That just got me SO excited for the next episode. <333

[goddessdster.livejournal.com]

*waves*

Ain't it cool?

So you're going to recap tonight's episode, right? ;)

[midnight-jo.livejournal.com]

First off... who knew I would encounter so many fellow X-Philes on here? You too? Marvellous.

I will recap tonight's episode!!! I had such a fun time doing JJ, and I've been wanting to do it with the past few as well, so I'll be back in proper form tonight.

*waves back*

And yes... it is pretty cool.

[westmoon.livejournal.com]

Oooh. Love recaps. :)

[midnight-jo.livejournal.com]

I want to cry from the abundance of X-files love on here!!!

And I love writing recaps, though I've only done one so far (http://midnight-jo.livejournal.com/16843.html) (for JJ). It's completely in point-form and rather spastic, but I had fun doing it, and since I don't feel so bad about spamming my flist anymore, I'm gonna do it again tonight. Muahahaha.

[westmoon.livejournal.com]

How can anyone not love The X-files?

Ooh, and Flight of the Conchords and Arrested Development and Lost and The Office UK?

[pink-siamese.livejournal.com]

::waves:: Hi there!

We can never have too many X-Philes around here. Just sayin.

[midnight-jo.livejournal.com]

The world can never have too many X-Philes! Hehe! I suppose I shouldn't be surprised to find out that so many CM fans are also X-files fans. Still, I can't deny how giddy this makes me feel! :D

::waves back:: Thanks for the warm welcome!!!!
