Talk to me . . .

Ausiello says Greek will be back on January 25! So that's exciting! Not too much waiting for new episodes. And it's on at 10, which is a little weird, but better for my poor TiVo. (Except for I keep hearing about how the show is getting bad ratings. Please don't take it from me!)

I know I just did a poll, but I thought of some more "important" questions, and everyone loves polls, right?

SEE. I can't decide! I love all the guys, but I feel like each of them has traits that would drive me crazy in an actual relationship. (Or else I have traits that would drive them crazy.)

I HATE it when my name is used on TV! (And I consider "Kate" my name, not just Katie.) I've always complained to my parents that my name was too common and it's been popping up on tv more and more lately.

I think Ted is like that perfect boyfriend guy, but alot of what makes him this adorable guy would piss me off, so I need a combo of him and Barney.

*uses mind-control* you want to write Cappie/Casey fic, you NEED to write Cappie/Casey fic...

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! That's kind of how I feel. Maybe even mix some Marshall in because as much as I love all three guys, I don't think any of them would really be the best match for me.

I DO want to!!! But I don't have any real ideas!

[identity profile] crazygorgeous13.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
OMG NOOOOOOOOO! I'm gonna be interstate when it comes back! *sniffles*

You don't need ideas! Psh! You could write Cap/Case sitting on a couch next to each other and I'm sure it's be awesome!

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
WHAT??? That's not allowed!!!

Haha, I'm thinking about it! I just want more of them being adorable together!!!! THEY'RE SO RIGHT FOR EACH AND THEY'RE FINALLY TOGETHER!

Gah it's gonna SUCK not being able to see it till the 30th!

Hee, go for it! :D

Marshall is probably my favourite HIMYM boy.

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
He's the one I'm leaning most toward, but I don't think we would work because I'm not really one for appreciating his little romantic gestures. I was contemplating this last night, how as much as I love the HIMYM guys, none of them would work for me.

BTW: Also last night: TOTAL revelation: One of my big high school crushes was TOTALLY Cappie. That fun, outgoing guy, who was smart, but didn't care much about school. Only now, thanks to Facebook, I know he's in the army, which, haha, I can't ever see happening to Cappie.

[identity profile] torigates.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
I think I really would like to date Marshall or Ted. Not Barney, though. Haha.

HEE. That's pretty awesome. I can't see Cappie in the army AT ALL. No, he wouldn't do well there. but the army is pretty hot too ;)

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, love Barney, but NO WAY would I date him!!!!

Haha, yeah, I can imagine Cappie doing a lot of things after graduation, but not that!

[identity profile] torigates.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
What do you think is going to happen when they graduate? How long can they drag out their winter term?

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know! But I seriously am worried that they won't even get that far. Like these last 10 episodes could be the last ever. :( And I feel like we should at least get to see them graduate!

But I could see at least Casey staying for grad school and then Cappie staying for either grad school (I refuse to believe he won't graduate on time) or her.

[identity profile] torigates.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh really? Well maybe they'll rush through the last term then? But yes, I like to imagine Cappie going on to grad school.

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm just hoping they get enough time to wrap it up. I'd hate it to be one of those shows that just . . . ends.

[identity profile] torigates.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Is it going to be cancelled or something?

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
I don't really know, but I keep hearing that the ratings are just horrible. :( But maybe moving it until 10 will pick things up? I don't think anything's for certain yet.

[identity profile] torigates.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
OHhhh, well that would just be horrible :(

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
I KNOW. And I've been feeling like all my shows (or at least the ones I *really* care about) are safe. :(

[identity profile] torigates.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Well at least most of them are in that case. BUT GREEEEEK.

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
At least we'll get 10 more (well, 11, with the season finale!) for SURE.

[identity profile] torigates.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and that's a good run.

[identity profile] mini-miss.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, I didn't feel very creative.

My name is never mentioned on tv.

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
That's okay.

And you can have my name. I get so tired of hearing it on tv all the time. Don't they know it belongs to me? ;)

[identity profile] mini-miss.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Trust me, you don't want mine. No one can pronounce it, it's the most annoying thing.

Katie is very much a guest star name, though I don't think I ever watched a show with a main character called Katie. Hear it LOTS in real life though...
Lots of Kates on tv though.

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that would be annoying.

There was a main character named Katie on Journeyman. Oh, and Skins. And my family calls me Kate, so I think of that as my name, too.

[identity profile] brandyleigh.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well I picked Ted, but I didn't want to. As much as I love Ted, he would probably work my last nerve sometimes, and even though I don't have problems telling people I love them like Robin does, if a guy told me on the first date that he was in love with me? I would be out of there so fast. Then again, though I love Marshall and Barney too, they both have character traits that are both great and annoying.

I'm sorry you have to wait so long for Greek, but that gives me time to catch up on it. Yay!

I really want to see a HIMYM story about the doppelgangers! I think it would be hilarious if Barney's doppelganger is the last to be found, so he gets jealous and decides to pretend to be his own doppelganger so the gang will run into him and then report back to him that his twin has been found. Of course, someone would eventually figure out that it was actually Barney pretending to be his double, and not his actual doppelganger.

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
I always think about that when I watch the pilot! I don't think I'd *ever* be able to be friends with a guy who told me he loved on the first date (let alone end up eventually dating him!). I guess if I had to pick, I'd go with Marshall, but I don't really think any of them are right for me. I mean, I love them, but not to date!

HEE. And you better do it! :D

Haha, maybe I will! That would be fun, and SUCH a Barney thing to do!

[identity profile] starryeyedmagic.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
I guess the name thing totally depends on the context. Like if there was some awesome character named Laura then I think I'd be happy, but if she was lame/annoying...not so much. Unfortunately I think I've experienced the latter more often. But I hear you with the common name issue.

I seriously didn't answer the HIMYM guy question. lol because I just can't. They're all lovable in their own unique way, and TBH I wouldn't mind dating any of them. Although with that said, I think I would only want to date Ted "now" rather than Ted in s1. And in regards to Barney I think I would literally have to be Robin for it to work. He would just need to be desperately over the top in love for the relationship to stand any kind of chance.

Woah, Greek on at 10pm? It seems weird to me that Abc Family would ever air anything at 10pm just in general, lol. It's just such a kid friendly network. Although I suppose it's true that Greek is not really a kid friendly show.

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, well, it really got me going when a girl named Katie hit on DAN on Gossip Girl! WHY?? I mean, if it had been Chuck, great, even Nate! BUT NOT DAN!

Ha, that's why I asked it! Because I couldn't decide for myself! I love them all, but I don't think any of them would really be right for me. They all have traits that would just end up annoying me in a relationship.

I just hope that maybe it'll end up helping the ratings? It's a little weird that it airs at the same time as Gossip Girl, since they have such a crossover audience.

Hello Katie.

Treasure Hunt!

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
CEE!

AND YES! THAT WOULD BE FUN!!!!

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
OKAY!

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
I probably won't get to it any time soon, so feel free!

I don't think I could really be with any of them. I know I wouldn't appreciate Ted and Marshall the way they should be. I mean, I can awww when they do sweet thing for the women in their life, but in the real world? Yeah, I don't need that stuff.

But I don't think I could handle Barney, either. As much as I love him, I think he would drive me crazy if I had to deal with him on a daily basis.

So I will have to look for other fictional men to date! Or, you know, real men, but that's a lot harder . . .

[identity profile] katie087.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
Good question about names being used! I so don't know how to answer it though lol... like initially I think 'ooh cool there's a Katie' and then it quickly turns into 'omg I hate her' 'cos they're always the awful characters (like that horrible psycho woman who attacked Violet in the season finale of Private Practice or that bitchy patient from the Greys pilot)

One of my fave singers (Missy Higgins) has a song called 'Katie' and I was all excited 'cos its my name and it turns out the song is about a drug addict named Katie. Fail.

Us Katie's are nice people! TV should reflect that!

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I know! There have been very few Katie's (or Kate's, which my family calls me!) that I "approve" of! Don't these people know how awesome our name is???

And, lol, I kind of had the same experience with that Missy Higgins song . . . but at least it's pretty? Once I searched for "Katie" on iTunes and came up with a whole bunch of songs. We should listen to more of them and see if there's an awesome one!

Wait, the babies don't die. Lily and Marshall die. Too tired right now to fill out polls apparently

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-30 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, but poor Ted! No best friends, no wife . . . or maybe he can still have a wife, but she's not the mother?

[identity profile] sarahkjrsten.livejournal.com 2009-10-30 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
Barney died in the same accident and so Ted and Robin got married for the sake of ~teh children~ ?

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-30 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, now I'm all sad! But I bet they'd have all kinds of hilarious adventures! Robin would be the worst mom ever, and Ted would be a good dad, but in a completely over-the-top way.

[identity profile] happyhappenings.livejournal.com 2009-10-30 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
You crack me up!

My name never get used on TV so the first question doesn't even pertain to me haha.

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2009-10-31 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee, good!

Aw, sad! It seems like a lot of people either never hear their name or hear it too much, lol.
