*Repeated viewings/readings are included if I read/saw the movie/book at a time when I could not appreciate it or if I read/saw the book/movie in a new context. Multiple viewings of theater productions (even ones with the same cast) are included as performances change one day to the next.

If you cannot read this post, you have been cut.

I meant to do this a long time ago, but things got a bit hectic and I never managed the chance to sit down and go through my f-list. I don't think any of these should come as a surprise: either we haven't interacted in a long time, or we became friends within the past year or so and you never commented. I tried to exclude those who have taken a hiatus from LJ or with whom I'm friends on other social networking sites. If you think I have made a mistake, however, please let me know -- it's easy to accidentally uncheck the wrong name!

'Kay, everyone. This is how I've voted so far on March Madness (at this point, none of them are strategic unless I feel very strongly that a character that is leading shouldn't win). Feel free to try and sway my vote for any fandom for which I have not yet voted (you're also more than welcome to try for the ones for which I've already placed my vote, although I don't promise you'll succeed XD)! I've placed a star next to any character I'd love you to vote for if you're not invested in the fandom.

If you can't read this entry, you have been cut.

With the beginning of a new school semester, I thought it was time for a friends cut. It's been over a year since my last one, and a lot has changed in that time. The cut shouldn't come as a surprise, and everyone I cut hasn't used LJ in quite a while, or I've had little to no interaction with them on here or by any other means. If you a) were on an unannounced hiatus but have recently returned, b) think I cut you by mistake (definitely happens!), c) were surprised to find that you were cut, or d) have any other concerns, please leave a comment and we can sort it out. (Eep, this sounds so formal!!)

I wish you all the best. <3

Figured I should probably post my thoughts on last night's episode as Tali arrives tomorrow and I'll be busy showing her around and catching up.
