And as 2004 draws to a close, we pause to reflect on the past 12 months.
*pause*
Okay, reflection's over! (j/k)
But seriously, this year hasn't been that much different from the ones before it. I graduated (officially) from college. I managed to find a steady, if part-time job so that I'm making my own income, and found out that library patrons can suck just as much as retail customers. We lost a President that many in the nation loved, and re-elected a President that many in the nation don't really care for. I learned that the first week in August is not the best time to visit South Dakota if you want to avoid motorcycles. I was smacked upside the head by Mortality as I watched my grandmother slowly start to slide away from us. And I learned what pains in the arse health insurance companies can be.
And now for something completely different...a couplings meme! (stolen from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

1: Name a pairing that you absolutely would die for
2: The pairing that you like
3: You would give this pairing, or keep it
4: The pairing that you wouldn't really care about but still support it
5: You really hate this pairing to hell, and you wish it was never alive
Digimon Adventure/02
1: Daisuke/Hikari & Hikari/Wizardmon (don't look at me like that)
2: Hikari/Iori, Jun/Shuu & Sora/Yamato
3: Ken/Miyako
4: Jyou/Mimi
5: Takari, Taiora & Mimato (Rabid fans and bad fanfiction scare me and piss me off at the same time)
Digimon Tamers
1: Juri/Takato, Kai/Minami & Yamaki/Reika
2: Ryou/Ruki, Hirokazu/Alice, Kenta/Shiuchon & Takato/Minami
3: Jenrya/Ruki
4: Jenrya/Juri
5: Rukato (again, rabid fans and bad fanfiction. I want to read about the characters I see on the television screen, not the badly distorted perceptions of the characters as viewed through the author's rose-tinted glasses)
Digimon Frontier
1: Junpei/Izumi & Kouichi/Chiaki (brown haired girl with the pigtails, with the group of kids with the Angemon. Remember them?)
2: Takuya/Tomoki
3: Kouichi/Kouji (incest isn't really my cup of tea, but you do have to admit the signals were there)
4: Takuya/Kouji or Takuya/Kouichi
5: Kouji/Izumi & Kouichi/Izumi (second verse, same as the first: rabid fans, bad fanfiction. It's okay for Izumi to date someone who is not an OMG! pretty-boy angsty bishounen! Really!)
ER
1: Carter/Kem, Elizabeth/Mark & Doug Ross/Carol Hathaway (waits for people to scratch their heads at that last couple and go "who?")
2: Abby/Luka, Luka/Sam, Abby/Dubenko (he has a crush on her, I know it!), Neela/Gallant & Elizabeth/Romano
3: Chen/Pratt & Cleo/Benton
4: Carter/Lucy & Elizabeth/Benton
5: Carter/Abby (They tried dating, it didn't work, they broke up and Carter went to Africa and met Kem and fell in love with her and fathered her baby. Carter and Abby are NOT Doug Ross and Carol Hathaway, they are NEVER going to get back together. END OF STORY, get over it already Carby fans!)
Harry Potter
1: Ron/Hermione, Harry/Luna & James/Lily
2: Harry/Ginny, Neville/Luna, Lupin/Tonks & Bill/Fleur
3: Harry/Cho, Harry/Gabrielle, Ron/Luna & Hermione/Draco
4: Harry/Hermione & Harry/Draco (they stand a snowball's chance in hell of ever happening, but...)
5: Harry/Snape & Hermione/Snape
Codename: Kids Next Door
1: Numbuh 2/Cree, Numbuh 1/Lizzie & Tommy/Sonya
2: Numbuh 1/Numbuh 86, Numbuh 2/Numbuh 5, Chad/Cree & Tommy/Mushi
3: Numbuh 1/Numbuh 5 & Numbuh 1/Numbuh 3
4: Numbuh 2/Numbuh 3
5: Numbuh 3/Numbuh 4 (okay, I know Wallabee has a crush on Kuki, but give me a break 3/4 fans! You're turning an okay pairing into the Takari of the KND fandom!)
Robotech
1: Max/Miriya & Bowie/Musica
2: Louie/Allegra, Roy/Claudia, Dana/Louie & Dana/Angelo
3: Rick/Lisa & Rick/Minmei (*sticks tongues out at all Minmei-haters* They dated for a while and had genuine feelings for each other, live with it!)
4: Dana/Zor
5: Lynn-Kyle/Minmei. Not because they were cousins, but because Kyle was a sleazy bastard that just used Minmei as a propaganda tool AND tried to blur the line between professional and personal relationship with her.
EDIT: And now including, becauseakino_ame came up with the idea and got it stuck in my head, the Strange Couplins edition of this meme! Same rules for the regular Couplings meme apply.
Strange Couplings: Digimon
1: Kouichi/Hikari (I have no idea why I love this pairing so much. I know they probably wouldn't be compatible, but tell that to my muses), Kouji/Alice & Iori/Jaarin
2: Iori/Shiuchon, Ryo/Hikari & Daisuke/Juri
3: Ken/Ruki & Junpei/Hikari
4: N/A
5: Kouji/Hikari. What Akino said is true; just because two characters from different seasons share the same attribute doesn't mean that they are romantically compatible.
Strange Couplings: Anime (here's where it gets really odd, folks)
1: Ken/Tomoe Hotaru. I've loved this coupling to bits ever since it first popped into my head.
2: Daisuke/Tomoe Hotaru & Iori/Chibi Usa
3: Sasami/Kaioshin or Tsunami/Kaiobit. It makes a lot more sense than some of the Mary Sues I've seen written for Kaioshin/Kaiobit's character in the DBZ fandom.
4: N/A
5: Usagi/Goku, Usagi/Legolas or Usagi/ANYONE from a non-Sailor Moon fandom. Usagi loves Mamoru. Mamoru, even though he can be a bit of a jackass at times, loves Usagi enough to die for her and would never betray her. Which means Usagi would never leave the SM universe to travel to another dimension because Mamoru and the Inners betrayed her, and meet her One Twu Wuv in Middle-Earth or DBZ-land or anywhere else the author chooses to put her.
Well, that's done. Now to spend the remainder of the night surfing the 'Net and working on writing stuff. And as Col. Sherman Potter once observed: "Here's to the new year. May she be a damn sight better than the old one, and may we all be home before she's over."
