lls_mutantDear AIL Sirius and Remus,
Hi guys. I was trying to make this chapter somewhat cheerful. So could you please stop fighting so I can move on and write the fun kind of fighting? Really. The two of you in a snarky, sulky fit at each other is no fun to write. Stop grousing and let's go kick some Death Eater butt.
Thanks.
Love,
Lissa

Speaking of AIL, question for you Brits. I know as of 1977, fathers were not allowed in the delivery room in America. By 1979 they were, at least in some places. Were men allowed in the delivery room in 1981 in London? What if it was a C-section? I realize I have some leeway because it's St. Mungo's, but I don't think I have THAT much. Thanks!

musesfool posted the link to Joss Whedon's 25 favorite TV characters. I was going to do the same, but didn't get around to it last night. Also, I don't watch much TV, so I shortened it to 15 anyway. :P
Anyway.
1.) Kaylee Frye from Firefly. Because how can you not love Kaylee? She's just so cute, one of the few true optimists that's not remotely a ditz that I've seen on TV. If I could be a female TV character, it would be her.
2.) Toby Ziegler from West Wing. Just for the ball. And should I ever write that West Wing/Harry Potter crackfic crossover that's been lurking in my mind, you know that's how it will start. With Toby throwing the ball at Snape's office.
3.) Philip J. Frye from Futurama. So often I don't like the main character. Futurama is one of the few shows where I really honestly do.
4.) Charlie from Lost. We've still only seen the first season, but I love Charlie. How could I not? Charismatic guy trying to overcome his own demons. And as expected from the above, I don't like Jack. He's very dull.
5.) The Janitor from Scrubs. Aside from the fact that I swear he's the love child of my stepfather and Mel Gibson, The Janitor has to be one of the funniest characters ever.
6.) Ned Flanders from the first seven or so seasons of The Simpsons. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the Simpsons family. But Ned just always cracked me up because he was so over the top... and yet, not really.
7.) Statler and Waldorf from The Muppet Show. They count as one character. Even as an adult, those two crack me up consistantly.
8.) Jed Barlett from The West Wing. I'm registered Republican, but I would have voted for him, I think. Although I'm all for Alan Alda's character.
9.) Lucius from Rome. Tortured soul trying to do write and frequently failing. God, I love that.
10.) Titus Pullo from Rome. Because they really kind of go together.
11.) Jayne Cobb from Firefly. I love comic relief, and Jayne manages to be that and not all fluffy (although I love Wash. And Simon. And... look, I just love the whole crew, okay?) But Jayne gets his own entry for Jaynestown, because it was undeniably funny.
12.) Jeremy from Sports Night. The only problem I had with Jeremy was that, aside from the sports obsession (and just the sports part), he WAS a guy I dated. (Hi, Kelse. Seriously. Has anyone ever told you that someone plays you on TV? It's really scary.) I mean, I like the guy still, but it's very wierd to see someone you know on screen without it being him.
13.) Bender from Futurama. Best sidekick ever.
14 and 15.) Pinky and the Brain from Animaniacs. Because they rule. Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
