How I Met Your Mother - Day 10
Oct. 10th, 2010 07:52 pmDay 10 - Favourite main cast character.
This is a tough call since each character holds a special place in my heart for various reasons, but my instinct is telling me to go with:
Lily Aldrin

She's cute, she's played by Alyson Hannigan (!), she's sex-obsessed, she's slightly manipulative, and quite the puppet master. I love the relationships she has with the rest of the characters in the cast, especially Barney seeing as he puts more trust in her than most of the group even though he views Ted as his best friend and Robin as his wingwoman. I love her friendship with Robin and how it frequently triggers her bi-curiosity. I love her relationship with Ted and how one conversation between them led to the sweetest Christmas gift ever from Marshall. And while talking about Marshall, I have to say that her and Marshall are one of the few canon pairings that I will actively get behind (that is, until Carl/Wendy becomes canon and then LAME might have a run for their money.)
There are times when she comes off as a brash or bossy or just downright awful (as occurred frequently in Season 5), but none of those times ever made me stop loving her.

> Day 27 - Fanfic or fanvid rec (or both).

> Day 30 - Sketchiest character development OR Whatever you like.
In other news, we went hiking at Devil's Lake today with my family and it was wonderful. I loved seeing all the fall colors and feeling the cool breeze coming off the water. It was also great to see Devil's Doorway, which is one of the coolest rock formations that I can go see without driving super long distances. The one downside is that I rolled my ankle while we were descending the slippery rock stairs that lead you down the Eastern bluff. I took some ibuprofen though so hopefully that kicks in soon.
