You better let somebody love you before it's too late
I love it when my head fucks with me. I *love* it.
Calculus and government done; favors for favors, laddies.
House, M.D. kicked ass this evening, as usual. Wong Foo is on Bravo right now until 11:00 PM Arizona time if anybody wants to watch that. I had to pry myself away from the TV after fifteen minutes. To anybody who is not familiar: it is a popcorn-fluff feel-good movie about drag queens, and everybody loves a good drag queen.

ariseishirou) Pick 5 of your OTPs and then list which specific moment made them your OTP. Then tag 5 people.
There are a few more pairs I did not mention (Team Rocket, Dalet and Migel, Greg House and Stacey Warner etc). I tend to have relatively few OTPs, and those that I do have endear themselves to me forever.
Alucard / Integra Hellsing (Hellsing): The moment that comes to mind is the one in episode 10 of the TV series--"Master of Monster", if I recall correctly--in which Integra tells Alucard that no, she will not surrender her blood to some goddamned vampire freak, since she is a Hellsing and by God the Hellsings do not fraternize with the enemy or lie down and die, so help her God. I love their relationship dynamic; it's pure tension hemmed by mutual respect and the mutual knowledge that one could kick the other's ass--figuratively speaking, since Alucard is a No-Life-King and Integra is still a human, but you know exactly what I mean.
Sumeragi Subaru / Sakurazuka Seishirou (Tokyo Babylon / X): So many moments for a fandom over which I have obsessed for far too long. I'll select the critical turning point in volume 6 of Tokyo Babylon where Subaru says "I'm in love with Seishirou-san." It is so much more powerful if you already know how things are going to end... And, of course, one can't not-mention Rainbow Bridge and that Pesky Missing Word. We all know deep down in our hearts what he said.
Tenjou Utena / Himemiya Anthy (Shoujo Kakumei Utena): Final episode, where Utena opens the Rose Gates with her tears, and tries to pull Anthy out of her coffin even though she is severely wounded--that did it, if it wasn't already done with "That's the sort of friends I want us to be" in episode 25.
Dryden Fassa / Millerna Aston (Tenkuu no Escaflowne): The final episode in which Dryden tells Millerna that she is free to go, but that he is determined to win her back of her own free will, is a point at which my respect for Dryden skyrocketed beyond the levels it had already reached.
Hannibal Lecter / Clarice Starling (Hannibal Lecter trilogy, soon to be quartet): If you want to adhere to the movie storyline, this would be it:
Lecter: Would you ever say to me, "Stop. If you love me, stop."?
Starling: ...not in a thousand years.
Lecter: "Not in a thousand years." ... That's my girl.
If you want to adhere to the novel ending, the entire last chapter would do it. Say what you will--yes, it's far beyond left field across the street and down the block--but I loved it.
I just tag everybody.
So close to being done with this college crap, for now--at least, until it's time to apply to honors colleges. Head down power through.

Hooray for drag queens! I've been typing up the journal entry of DOOM for the past three hours, otherwise I might just check it out. XD
Hell, this means I've been tagged with a meme, doesn't it. Hell! XD
And good luck with all of the college things. You can do it, Lauren. It's a pain in the ass, but just keep reminding yourself that once you finish, it's done.

Ganbaru!
