ignipes, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for telling me to read this. Cause it kicks ass.

1.) I am a total sucker for family. I just want all the Starks to be back together again.

2.) I have a new boyfriend. Unfortunately, he's dead because he was STUPID enough to confront Cersai Lannister. Ned, I love you. But come on dude, she killed the last guy who caught on. Couldn't you have been a little more effective? But then you wouldn't be so honorable, and your honor is why you're my new boyfriend. Poop.

3.) I apparently don't mind incest as a plot device when it's the bad guys doing it.

4.) I definitely favor good guys. The Lannisters are as charismatic as bad guys get, and I still don't like most of them.

4a.) Except Tyrion. I so need an icon with the quote "Try not to kill and maim each other while I'm gone."

4b.) And I guess Dany is headed towards "bad girl", but damn, she's got to be one of my favorite characters. Total Mary Sue gone RIGHT.

5.) For some reason, I am not drooling over Jon Snow. Don't get me wrong- I love the boy. He's one of my favorite characters. (Look, I have a lot of favorite characters in this.) But I'd take his dad over him any day. Except that Jon's, well, alive. At least so far.

6.) Apparently, I have no problem with spoilers as I peeked ahead at all of Dany's chapters when I read Game of Thrones. But I've got to stop doing it, because it mixes up the timelines in my head.

7.) It is possible for me to drool manaically over a series and not want to write fanfic for it. Thank GOD, because I do NOT need another fandom and George R.R. Martin forbids it anyway. Although I do love looking at the fanart. But I put fanart and fanfic in totally different categories, personally.

8.) A Song of Fire and Ice can be an effective diet aid. My new diet is entitled "A Feast For Crows, A Diet for Lissa." It's actually Weight Watchers, but every day I stick to my points I get to read a chapter. It's too early to say if it's truly effective, but bribery often is.

9.) This series is going to make me significantly poorer. Our house has bookcases. Lots of bookcases. Most of them are either IKEA bookcases or ones that hubby's dad made. But downstairs there is a very nice bookcase that only gets hardcovers on it. The rule is that the books that are on that bookcase must be our all time favorite books. There's the complete collection of Ayn Rand, all the Harry Potters, Little Women, Gone with the Wind, Nick Hornby's books, The Lord of the Rings, Alice in Wonderland, Ender's Game... and now I'm going to have to buy these in hardcover because they're just that damn good. :P~~~~~~~~

Thus ends my current ode to A Song of Fire and Ice.

ETA: Just for the record... "the bad guys" equates more to "the people I don't like".
