trancer21Gakked from stark. Fandom Meme: If my TV habits were my dating life:
1.) The one who seduced you and fucked you over and broke your heart in a million pieces and laughed about it:
The X-Files. It was my first fandom. It was fresh and new and exciting. It started out beautifully, then went to complete and utter shit. And I kept going back for more hoping to rekindle the fire only to have a giant bucket of grimy, sewer water dumped on my head. The breakup was soo bad, it's been five years since the show ended and I have yet to watch a single episode since. And I own five seasons on DVD.
2.) The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets:
Xena. It's the one I cheated on the X-Files with and quickly stole my heart. There was a rocky patch near the end but like the saying goes - absence makes the heart grow fonder, we've rekindled the love and now I miss that show, and the fandom, like crazy.
3.) The mysterious dark gothy one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 a.m. at weird coffeehouses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized she really was fucking crazy:
*sigh* Gotta go with the majority on this one - SVU. *forced whisper* I thought you were 'the one'!! Second would be Stargate SG-1.
4.) The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to fuck again although you're relieved she doesn't actually live in town:
Lost. Besides, Lost is kind of a slut and all those other girlfriends are batshit insane.
5.) The steady:
Power Rangers. Shut up, I like this show! And after fifteen years, I'm not breaking up with it.. again. Sure there was the godawful 'all about Tommy' phase, or 'In Space' and it's best just not to mention 'Wild Force' at any and all times. But, like a fine wine, it's gotten better with age. Or, at least it changes enough to retain some sorta newness.
6.) The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with:
Bones. One of the great things about Bones is it's like the fallback relationship, you know it's always going to be there leaving you free to flirt with other shows. Bones will never 'take my breath away' but it'll never rip my heart out of my chest either.
7.) The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with but ultimately you're just good buddies 'cause the friendship is there but the chemistry ain't:
Stargate Atlantis. The one I keep flirting with even though I know it's just not good enough for me but keep hanging around hoping it'll get a clue and get better.
8.) The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool chick except it's never really gone anywhere:
Damages.
9.) The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at him and thinking, "Him? How the hell did he land all these cool babes?":
Supernatural. Cool babes, yes, but like Lost a whole helluva lotta batshit insane ones.
10.) The one your friend has fallen for like a ton of bricks and whom she keeps babbling to you about on the phone for hours, and you'd be happy for her except you just know it's going to end badly:
Big Love. I just.. can't. I don't know what it is but no matter how good I hear it is, I know it's not the show for me.

I confess to being one of the batshit crazy Supernatural fans, though.

There's just something about a bunch of teens solving the world's problems by putting on color-coded spandex and using extreme forms of violence!
