What do you love?

[ChobiChibi]

Because too much negativeness sucks balls.

I love singing because of all those happy endorphins that it pumps around your body. There is nothing better to make you feel more positive than singing at the top of your lungs for a couple of hours.

I love feeling appreciated. Even with just a simple comment. For example, the wind band conductor said to me on Tuesday "I like it when you're here". Felt like it was worth my while to take time out of my busy degree to play with that ensemble.

I love cuddles. Cuddles with everyone. Cuddleeeessss.

I love to read a good trashy novel. I don't enjoy books that over complicate language so it's a struggle to read. If I wanted that, I'd sit in the library and research my next essay.

I love writing essays. Sue me.

Now it's your turn, TPM. LOOOOVVVEEEE.

[Heald]

Because too much negativeness sucks balls.

Yes. 10 points to Gryffindor for making this thread. 2000 points from Slytherin for all the jerks who made and participated in the other thread. And 10 points from Hufflepuff, because fuck Hufflepuff. Ravenclaw is all hoes and tricks.

Tru dat. I'm a fan of singing. Maybe not actually good or nice singing, but belting out a drinking song or a sports anthem with some friends is a blast. I also have a guilty pleasure for karaoke.

Now it's your turn, TPM. LOOOOVVVEEEE.

No surprises what I love. In no particular order:

Whisky/whiskey/bourbon/malt. Yes there is a difference to all of these these.
Beer/ale/bitter/lager/pilsner etc. Ditto.
My friends
Ponies
Music

I'm pretty easy going to be honest.

[ChobiChibi]

Does that mean I'm in Gryffindor? FUCK YEAH.

But I also participated. Saaad faaaace.

I love a good bargain. Like getting my hair cut for half price (Barry, if you read this, it shoulda cost more than the last one you were so shocked about when I saw you XD).

Ummmmmm... I had more.

[Kumori]

I love artfully placed semi colons. End of thread.

[classy_cat18]

2000 points from Slytherin for all the jerks who made and participated in the other thread.

I have no regrets. I feel relieved for posting in there, actually.

-I love MARIO. His twenty-something years have shaped my life. Super Mario Galaxy 2 was one of the best things that have happened to me since my college graduation.
-I love Nintendo in general.
-I love the improvement in Sonic games.
-I love dogs. Happy, bouncy balls of fun.
-I love anime. And anime songs. And anime conventions.
-I love the FF RPG that I'm in right now. I haven't felt that compelled to write in ages.
-Pizza with Coca-Cola to drink with it. *drools*
-Ice cream floats made with Coca-Cola and Homemade Vanilla ice cream from Bluebell.

[Knight of Time]

I have a few loves of my own, so I might as well share them.

-blue eyes (I'm a real sucker for blue eyes, not just because my own eyes are blue too; the eyes are one of the first things that catch my notice if I met someone new that I liked)
-Legend of Zelda games (I've loved them for years, not just for the amount of time it takes to complete the main story in each of them, but the sidequests as well)
-root beer
-Minute Maid orange juice (of all the various flavours of orange juice, I have a strong preference for the Minute Maid varieties mainly because they are not only made from concentrate, but have a slightly more acidic flavour than other varieties of orange juice, making Minute Maid orange juice have a slightly stronger flavour IMO)
-computers (I am pretty knowledgeable on them, and I also tend to adapt to new things pretty quickly)
-classic bluegrass (I can pretty much thank my father for this one, ever since I was a kid, I listened to many classic bluegrass albums by bands/artists that are or were known to a lot of people, and over the years, I managed to find a bunch of blasts from the past, which I have on my iPod classic)
-classic rock (I've been mostly into 70's rock for years as well, but I do occasionally like rock music from other decades, like the 60's and 80's...of all the classic rock artists, I especially enjoy listening to the Cooper Brothers; not just because they're based in Ottawa, ON, but that their music is a blend of country and rock, aka the perfect thing to get a lady friend in RL to listen to if she has a love of country music, and a great friendship with me too)
-digital cable TV (because it gives the TV in the den in my house more channels, thus more shows to choose from to watch)

[DivineAll]

Remember in the hate thread when I said I hated Power Rangers Operation Overdrive? Well, I pretty much love the rest of the franchise, save for the series after said season because I haven't watched them yet. The Power Rangers franchise practically defines my childhood memories and rewatching the classics and the series I haven't watched yet, thanks to Linkara, I have a better appreciation for all of them, except Operation Overdrive of course.

[Dark Sage]

Pizza.

Unfortunately, I'm on a diet right now...

Ever tried watching Super Sentai, what the Power Rangers were based off of? I've been getting into Dekaranger.

[Oslo]

My giraffe mug.

I drink from it everyday.

Makes me happy.

(Spoiler:) Its name is Hector.

[DivineAll]

Ever tried watching Super Sentai, what the Power Rangers were based off of? I've been getting into Dekaranger.

I've seen clips and images of Super Sentai before but have yet to watch an actual episode. I know that there are differences between the two, such as villains and storylines, but I'm more inclined to watch the Americanized version since I grew up with them.

I WILL say though, after being exposed to Power Rangers for the first time in the States, I've pretty much an instant fan of a couple of shows where there's a group of heroes trying to save the world/universe/galaxy from evil like Justice League, Teen Titans, The Powerpuff Girls, and Sailor Moon to name a few.

Jager.

[DarkestLight]

...I don't love anything logical. Will flesh this out. Be back later with positive aspects of my life....

[Telume]

Electronics (mostly computers and tablets and things like that.)

And Pasta (almost any kind)

And Pizza.

And building something out of nothing (programming falls under this category)

[Blademaster]

Everything.

To varying degrees, of course. I don't love Middle East rebels with AK-47's and negative scruples as much as I love you guys, but there's still something there.

(Spoiler:) inb4 some tunnel-vision loudmouth comes along bitching that I'm unrealistic, a hippie, an x sympathizer, or some other insult because of misinterpretation

[BTPoke]

Everything.

To no varying degrees, of course. I don't love Middle East rebels with AK-47's and negative scruples as much as More than I love you guys.

So you love the liberals, too? You love the terrorists, too? YOU HATE AMERICA HTOEHIAOWHGPOEHOIPGQAWOIHAEIPHGEOIPGA



On a note that's actually related to this thread, I love the following:

-People that can sing well and on key
-Anyone willing to look at things with an open mind
-My family, but that's a given
-The internet, also a given
-Ponies
-Pokemon (oh, look, another given)
-Music
-Literature
-Whoever invented the Lazy Chair, for I spend 50% of my day in said chair.

[Dark Sage]

You love everything, Blade? That's kinda hard to believe.

Do you love snakes? Cockroaches? Spiders? Head lice? Athlete's foot?

I could name quite a few things that are even more universally unliked, but I'll leave it at that.

[classy_cat18]

I love...not sucking at FPSes. I used to be bad at Halo, but I've gotten better. I love not being a total retard in Halo!

[Shadow Wolf]

Hah... interesting. I like it!


OK, I love...

-to do shadow battery while the song Everlong (by Foo Fighters) is on my Ipod.

-to sing out loud my favorite songs (American Pie, She Will Be Loved, My Own Worst Enemy and Ocean Avenue are some that come to mind).

-to play a good RPG (Currently Star Ocean: The Last Hope).

-to eat either Oreo or Chips Ahoy with a cold glass of Milk

-to have a good, realistic dream (a dream while sleeping I mean).

-to have a crush (heh... it helps me write poems and smile a lot, hehehe)

-and I definitely love it whenever I can make someone smile. If I can pull a lame joke, a goofy face expression, a good gift, or simply a compliment to make someone smile, that definitely makes my day. ^_^

[Blademaster]

You love everything, Blade? That's kinda hard to believe.

Perhaps I should explain it a bit more semantically: As I stated in Kumori's thread, I don't really hate anything. Hate is, to me, an irrational solution to a problem and its strength typically drives the one feeling it AWAY from the issue at hand rather than coming closer and trying and fix it. Sure, some things annoy me, and some things I'd rather not associate myself with. But 'hate' is closer to an absolute, and that's just not for me.

Do you love snakes?

Personally, I think most snakes are cute. And largely harmless. The venomous ones and the constrictors large enough to choke a person are obviously less harmless, but how can you begrudge a simple-minded animal for doing what it must to survive?

Cockroaches?

Not cute. But still a living thing, and one that is well over a hundred times older than even our earliest ancestor. Respect your elders.

Spiders?

I'm arachnophobic. That having been said, this should answer your question sufficiently.

Head lice? Athlete's foot?

This is stepping into a grayer area because lice and Trychophyton mitospores are still living things, despite the fact that they inconvenience humans.

I certainly wouldn't want to be afflicted with either of them. And if such an affliction were to happen, of course I'd work to get it fixed as soon as possible, just as if I'd gotten sick.

But I don't see them as just pests that need to die. All life has value; given enough time, the crudest and simplest single-celled organism could grow into a complex and amazing system of diverse, intelligent, and beautiful entities (Spoiler:) again. It's simply a sad fact that evolution favors more adapted life over less adapted life. Humans do the same thing to survive, albeit in much shorter time scales.

Maybe one day we'll figure out how to make everyone - and everything - happy. Right now, though, that's WAY too big an issue for our species to handle, let alone any single one of us. The best I can do is try and spread the love, one step at a time.

I owe it to those who strove for our past and who dream of our future to do no less.

[Kumori]

^I've had head lice and they're horrible.

I love writing. There's something about putting a pen to paper (or fingers to keys) and creating something new that feels so amazing. I've been writing for over 7 years, so I've written many things and I love what you can do with writing.

[Dark Sage]

Yes, Blade, I realize that the general dislike of snakes is more-or-less unfounded. Their bad reputation is really Older Than Feudalism (as the Trope says), seeing as it was a serpent who tempted Eve.

You should see my dad. He denies that he's ophidaphobic, but he was once so afraid of a little garter snake that he ran his car over it. Seriously, the guy feels the same way about them as Indiana Jones.

[ChobiChibi]

DS, still being far too negative/critical for this thread, considering the only thing you love is pizza.

I love having super awesome friends. People I see every day, and those I talk to every day online, and even those I don't see much. I'm lucky to know such awesome people.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Kudos for posting the thread from my part too! You could say I love reading this thread.

To spread it, I love TPM in general. I love you no matter what you say to me, because I can always improve myself here. This place means so much for me. I say it's a shrunken Pokemon message board, but isn't small cute?

I love Super Mario games. I love Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX. I love Pokemon games. I love Tekken. I love Bomberman World. I love videogames I'm familiar with, and play them through over and over again. Could do that forever. I recently had a nightmare where I broke my PSX, and was so delighted to see it in one piece in the morning.

I love anime music. Gives me energy. I also love Blind Guardian. Also I like to sing my favourite songs, no matter how people don't like it when I sing them. And then there's classical music.

But loving girls has always been a hard subject for me. Has it been love? When I talked about loving a girl as a child, I was told it was having a crush. My love has always been on the wrong level, it has been infatuation and worshiping. If I had a 'realistic' crush at the moment, I'd probably say I love [insert secret name here] but now I don't.

[DarkestLight]

Back.
I love driving. I didn't think I would, I didn't learn how to until last year (late, so what), but now I'm trying to be a stunt driver.

I love comedy in all forms. Hence why I'm working so hard to be a stand up comedian. Speaking of, we need an achievement thread so I can link to that video and get reactions.

I love my family regardless

I love the Jurassic Park franchise (JP3D 4/5/13 AND JP4 2014)

I love high speed

I love Ultimate Frisbee

I love alcohol.

Uhh I'm sure there are more, but that enough for now.

Now random point. The girl in JP2 finds Jeff Goldblum and says "I couldn't find a cab" :/ Shenanigans...

[Blademaster]

You're a TVTroper? Huh, small world.

Also as much as I hate to touch religion when it comes to you, I hope you told your father off after that tragic encounter. He took the life of one of (as you call Him) God's creations, and for utterly unjustifiable reasons.

[Oslo]

Oslo is also a slave to TVTropes!

Pics!! Piiiics!

Okay!

This is my beloved mug:



And this is an ACTION SHOT!!!!!!! of me drinking from my beloved mug:



(Spoiler:) The mug is actually empty in that shot. I am a fraud.

(Spoiler:) And omg, I have the beastliest eyebrows.

[DivineAll]

TvTropes, it makes everything original unoriginal! No, but seriously, TvTropes is awesome, and everyone who's been on the Internet for at least a day has looked up certain phrases or memes and has eventually come across said website.

[Lady Vulpix]

I love people who post threads like this one.

I love singing too, and writing, and my friends and family (including my dogs, and the cats are OK, I guess). I love feeling useful, and I love gratitude, whether it comes from me or someone else. And I love it when something or someone shows me that it's right to have hope for the future.

Oh! And tea.

[Gavin Luper]

Good thread idea.

I love ... lots of stuff: My boyfriend. My family. My mates. Writing. Action movies. Pool parties. Barbeques. Footy. Reading. Going to the gym. Rock music. Pizza, pasta, gelati. Cold beer. TV shows. Lots more stuff that I can't think of right now.

Looks like half of TPM are well-acquainted with TV Tropes, myself included!

Also, don't let your open-mindedness get the better of you. If you don't kill a snake when faced with it at close quarters, it may well bite/kill you, or your pets, at least in my country. It is entirely human for us to attack/kill threats to our survival. Don't forget we are animals, too.

[Kumori]

I love... hot chocolate. Could not live without it.

[Blademaster]

I was five years old.

They had cars back then?

I know; this isn't a threat.

[Crystal Tears]

I lurv… Video games. :3

Specifically I love HALO 4 for the simple reason of playing with my friends. Honestly, the hijinks that ensue. I find as long as I’m playing with my friends I really couldn’t give a damn about if I’m winning or losing. I’ll say its defo improved my relationships with some people, and I think it’s even improved some people’s confidence within the group (BTW CLASSY GET A MIC ♥).

I love my pets. :3 Zing and Kiwi (Cats), Ivy (Dog), Roc N’ Rolla (Betta Fish), and Tonberry (Bearded Dragon).

Dying my hair odd colours is a blast, I always get a kick outta it. Already got my next colour scheme picked.

Plotting things with people – the weirdest, but most creative stuff comes out of this. You can flesh out ideas with people and count on their input.

(Family/Friends is a given)

[Kumori]

I love...



That expression. It's priceless and it makes me cry every tiemcracks me up every time
Making things more broad, I love that whole meme because I've heard people in reality say it before XD

[ChobiChibi]

I love baking. I just made pastry for the first time, made chicken pies with it. I'm so excited. I hope it goes well!

[classy_cat18]

I love baking too, especially cheesecake.
And I'm part of the TPM Tropers Club.
And the Pet Lovers Club. I wuv my old dog, Sassy.

Oh! I love it when I run into a shiny Pokemon. That feeling of surprise I get is priceless! So I don't do any of the techniques you can use for increasing your chances.

[Kumori]

I love Photoshop. I'm trying to discover the world of art, so I've been doing a couple art trades with a friend of mine, and Photoshop has been immensely useful. It's also useful for creating signatures.

:3 I like sewing, when I'm not grumbling about how I can't thread the needle or yelping when I keep pricking myself with the needle.
