snoggedDay Five: Favorite female character on a male-driven show
Penny (The Big Bang Theory)
What better choice for today then the only female regular character in a cast of five?
Penny is funny, sassy, sexy, and can hold her own against Leonard, Raj, Howard, and Sheldon. While she may be the most "normal" of the bunch, I have to say my favorite moments with her is when she gets in touch with her inner nerd. Favorite examples of this include: beating Sheldon at Halo 3 ("No one can be that hot and be that skilled at a video game."), playing Age of Conan, and quoting Star Trek to the upstairs neighbor who tried to screw up their dynamic. I'm also a huge fan of the "Soft Kitty" gag that's been present on the show for the last few seasons.
The Rest
Day Six: Favorite female-driven show
Day Seven: A female character that needs more screen time
Day Eight: Favorite female character in a comedy show
Day Nine: Favorite female character in a drama show
Day Ten: Favorite female character in a scifi/supernatural show
Day Eleven: Favorite female character in a children’s show
Day Twelve: Favorite female character in a movie
Day Thirteen: Favorite female character in a book
Day Fourteen: Favorite older female character
Day Fifteen: Favorite female character growth arc
Day Sixteen: Favorite mother character
Day Seventeen: Favorite warrior female character
Day Eighteen: Favorite non-warrior female character
Day Nineteen: Favorite non-human female character
Day Twenty: Favorite female antagonist
Day Twenty-One: Favorite female character screwed over by canon
Day Twenty-Two: Favorite female character you love but everyone else hates
Day Twenty-Three: Favorite female platonic relationship
Day Twenty-Four: Favorite female romantic relationship
Day Twenty-Five: Favorite mother/daughter and/or sister relationship
Day Twenty-Six: Favorite classical female character (from pre-20th century literature or mythology or the like)
Day Twenty-Seven: A female character you have extensive personal canon for
Day Twenty-Eight: Favorite female writer (television, books, movies, etc.)
Day Twenty-Nine: A female-centric fic rec
Day Thirty: Whatever you’d like!
Amber Benson guest starred last night!! She was fabulous and I was beaming every moment her (probably one-off) character appeared.
Tomorrow, I'm going to the Wisconsin Counseling Association Summit (which is basically a fancy word for conference). I'm definitely looking forward to getting the chance to hear more about issues in my chosen field, along with getting the opportunity to network and meet new people. Who knows maybe I'll find someone who wants to hire me...because you know, a girl can dream, right?
The only bad part about it is that I have to wake up at 5:30 am. That's a half hour earlier than normal and I have to do it on a Saturday.
*sigh*
I'm pretty positive that coffee consumption will be critical.
