To all the shows I've loved before
The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets: Babylon 5
The mysterious dark gothy one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 a.m. at weird coffeehouses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized he really was completely out of his mind and believed all that garbage he was spouting: The X-Files
The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to see again although you're relieved he doesn't actually live in town: The Highlander
[...] The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at him and thinking Him? How the hell did he land all these cool babes?: Vampire: The Masquerade
[...] The new guy that you just can't stop talking about, even though everyone else is getting ready to beat you to death for your own good: Dungeons and Dragons 3rd edition
[...] The one you're ashamed of being seen with in public because he's so beyond your usual taste you're not even sure why you like him (except the sex is great): Dragonball Z
Wow. That's the geekiest thing I've seen in a while.
And this is one of the most pleasantly amusing things to happen to my LJ in some time. My first (known) blogging. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Did you look at the one I based that off of?

the one who throws you icy/sexy stares across the room when you least expect it, a stare that makes you think he either wants to slit your throat or suck you off: Space 1999.

=v= I have to confess that I don't entirely understand how The X-Files comes across as "gothy," except for that one episode where Scully got mixed up with a guy who was into tattoos and ergot. I do know that many geeks who are into women have swooned over Scully, which prompted actress Gillian Anderson to point out that she's not exactly a science brainiac. (Somewhere in the midst of all this she posed for photos in one of Rupert Murdoch's "men's" mags, which might've made the same point for her.)
