Fact. When I hear a bluegrass group playing in a restaurant, I automatically look for Ed Helms, even though I know that it's physically impossible for him to be there. *sigh* You know what a strange combination is? Italian food and bluegrass. I loved the music though. The food wasn't anything to shout about, although the calamari was actually really good, but everything else was just meh. We went out for my dad's birthday dinner (my brother and his wife were paying) and we got this restaurant mixed up with another one, so we thought we were going to a fancy place and ended up in a bar. My parents gave me grief the whole way there about my attire (T-shirt and jeans) and how I need to grow up, then we walked in the place and I said, "You know what, I think I'm dressed more appropriately than you guys are." HA! Serves them right. They got all fancied up for nothing. *blows raspberries at them*
Just in case you all missed my add-on to my last post, check out young Damian on Micky Love. OMG, SOOOOOOOO CUTE! I just want to pinch his cheeks there. I think he would have been about 24 years old there, or possibly 23. OMG, so adorable! He delivered his one tiny line awesomely with that sexy voice of his, and I got to hear his British accent. *swoon* Ed Helms better hurry up and come back to my television, because he is in serious danger of being replaced with Damian as my TV boyfriend. My Ed obsession seems to always be bubbling under the surface though, so I'm sure once The Office comes back all you'll read on my journal is "Ed Ed Ed I love Ed Ed is hot OMG Ed is so sexy Ed Ed Ed." But for the next couple of weeks it is all about the Damian. *drool*
And now, a meme, because I've gone what... 24 hours without doing one?
What is your LiveJournal username? How did you come up with it?
firthgal. I took Colin Firth's last name and dubbed myself his gal.
Have you renamed before? If so, what were your old names? If you haven't renamed, what names would you want to rename to?
Haven't renamed, no idea how to without starting a new account. In fact, I had tried to change it when I actually started using this thing, but it wouldn't let me. If I changed it, I'd probably change it to helmsgal or something having to do with The Office or Andy. (I'm not very creative, I'm afraid, so most of my usernames are just variations of each other).
How much does your userinfo say about you?
Not a whole lot, but enough. It touches on the important things, like Ed Helms and mob movies.
How long have you been on LiveJournal?
Well, I signed up a long time ago to join a Colin Firth group, but then I completely forgot about it. So apparently, my very first post was in March of 2007, but I didn't start posting regularly until August of 2007, which was when I got into the fandom part of The Office.
What is the longest amount of time you've gone without posting?
Since I started posting regularly, that would be a week.
On average, how many entries do you post per day? (Divide how many total entries you have by how many days you've been on LJ.)
I'm too lazy to do the math, so I'll just say either 1 or 2 (in 2007, it was 1 post a day, in 2008 I've been averaging about 2 posts a day)
What are your posts normally about?
Whatever I'm currently obsessing over. I'd say my journal is 80% fandom related.
Is your LiveJournal friends only? Why or why not?
No, because I don't mind people reading my fandom stuff, in fact, I encourage people to converse with me, it's usually how I end up making fandom friends.
Does your LiveJournal have an actual title or are you merely USER @ LiveJournal?
I'm One of Andy Bernard's Ladyfolk, obviously.
How long do you see yourself staying on LiveJournal?
Erm... for as long as I feel like writing nonsense. Once I get a job, I'll probably be too lazy to even write in this thing. Although, my LJ tends to be my therapy, so maybe I'll use it even more, who knows.
ABOUT YOUR FRIENDSLIST
How many people are on your friendslist, not counting private journals, media journals, etc?
Wow, I guess I haven't looked my f-list in awhile. Some people cut me and some added me and I didn't even know it! Anyway, 25.
Why do you choose to add a person to your friendslist?
Well, 9 times out of 10 they add me first, so I add them back, because I'm an equal opportunity friender. As long as we have a few common fandoms and converse with each other, it's all good.
Is your friends list an actual list of people you consider friends, or more of a reading list?
It's a bit of a mix, really.
How often do you read your friendslist?
Almost every day, usually once in the morning and then once at night.
Do you use filters when viewing your friendslist?
Nope, I don't even know how the heck to use them. But my f-list isn't very big, so I don't really need any filters.
How much do you talk to people on your friendslist off of LiveJournal?
Virtually never. Sometimes there's an email or two, and occasionally I've chatted with IM, but I'm a horrible chatter, so I'm all about the LJ comments. But I'm always willing to chat too.
Do you do friends cuts? Why or why not?
No, because my list isn't big enough to need a cut. But if somebody cuts me, then I cut them, same as when somebody friends me then I friend them. I'm just a copycat I guess.
Do you regularly participate in friending memes? If not, how do you normally find people to friend?
Not regularly, but if I'm in the mood for it, then I will. That's how I met my LJ soulmate known as
tinted_glass, so I try to fill them out when I can.
How often do you add new friends to your friendslist?
Not very often, I'm very shy about that sort of thing really. The other person has to do the initiating.
Do your friends have to have things in common with you?
Definitely.
ABOUT YOUR ICONS / USERPICS
How many userpics do you get maximum? How many of those slots do you actually use?
Thanks to the lovely tinted_glass, right now I get 32, and yes, I use every single slot.
Do you mostly use icons made by yourself or by others?
Mostly icons by others, but I have a few that I slapped together and use every now and then.
Do you have your own icon community? How often do you post in it?
No. I can't do fancy shmancy stuff, I depend on others for that.
What fandoms are most frequently seen in your userpics?
The Office, Psych, Boston Legal, House, and Life.
How do you find icons to use?
From icon posts in the fandom communities.
How often do you upload new icons to use in your userpics?
Probably once a week, but I'll just trade out one or two pics at a time.
Which of your userpics do you use the most?
Either the Andy with a heart one, or the Andy lives to frolf one.
Which of your userpics do you like the most?
Currently, I'm in love with the one where Charlie Crews is biting his lip as he looks down. OMG, so adorable!!! But normally, I like my default icon the best, which is the Andy with a heart one.
The old maximum number of userpics was three. Could you see yourself "surviving" on three userpics now?
No, I have too much fandom love to express in icon form.
What do your userpics say about you?
That... I like to ship, and I like men that make me laugh.
ABOUT YOUR FANDOMS
Which fandoms are you most active in?
The Office and Ugly Betty
What do your choice of fandoms say about you?
That I like light-hearted shows.
Do you make friends based on fandom?
Yes indeedy.
How many fandom communities are you a part of?
45.
Do you join fanfic or icon communities or only the general communities?
I join the fanfic and the general communities.
How many fandom communities do you moderate?
Just one,
andy_chronicles. I've been neglecting the comm lately. Bad me.
How often do you check fandom communities for new posts?
Same as when I check my f-list.
Do you contribute to fandom? If so, by way of what?
Depends. With UB and The Office I contribute fanfic, fanvids, and meta. With everything else it's pretty much just my insane ramblings.
Have you ever read (or been featured on) fandom_wank?
No, never heard of it.
What is one thing you wish you could change about fandom?
I wish I could get rid of the crazies who refuse to see things from a different perspective.

I stumbled upon your blog through the google blog search. I just wanted to say I really love your mood icons. They're so cute! And I think I'd look around for Ed Helms anywhere I heard bluegrass too.

I don't participate in friending memes frequently either. The first time I tried was when I found you! ♥ (And to this day I am SO GLAD I did.)

Hahaha mine too. My icon list is also like a composite of sedimentary fandom layers. You can use it to easily gage the order of my obsessions and the SEVERITY of my addiction.

I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU DID, TOO!!! And I'm so glad that I added my slash pairings. No one was saying any slash Office pairings, so I was basically setting myself up to be ignored, but then you found me! Question, how do you make those little hearts? I've seen everyone post with them, and I have no clue how to do that. I'm stuck with this sloppy <3 instead of that cute little heart picture.
For the heart type &-hearts-; without the hyphens! ♥
