February Siggy Challenge

kns1988

February is almost here! Any siggy challenge ideas? 

KMD1106

With a the seriousness of things in the world right now, my vote is something light hearted and funny. 

pshaortao

I love something lighthearted. Valentine related?

kns1988

I'd be down for a Valentine's theme. 

ETA: I'm kinda feeling mushy lately so here's Jim and Pam being adorable.

I normally don't like Valentine's themes, but I'm for it in lieu of anything more serious. I like hearts and happiness right now! What about childhood kisses? I mean, how cute?!

onebadmotha

Call me unromantic if you will, but I'd be more pro Valentine's fails- funny ones- I agree that we could use something lighthearted  

BeachMommy2B

I'm with @kayemjay2 with Valentine's Fails!
sorry @jayandaplus the childhood kisses is not my jam....

BabyMC517

I immediately thought of Valentine's Day fails too lol I mean I enjoy romantic stuff, but a good laugh would be helpful right now! 

L1C4gal

I second (third? fourth?) the Valentine's Day fails idea! I know we do a lot of fails around here, but they're just so dang funny

nda_roxybabe

I looooove Valentine's Day so I'm down for anything Valentine related. Either fail, pretty, or w/e

Jens_Hoes

I like valentine's fails. Even though I don't know how to do a siggy.

I like your new dog pic btw

Jens_Hoes

@nda_roxybabe Thank you!! That was my puppy when he was a few months old, so adorable 

BabyMC517

@jen_shoes you just copy/paste a picture, or GIF if you know how to do those, into the signature box on your profile preferences.  

KMD1106

Should we get specific like Valentine Card fails or craft fails or date fails? Or do we just want a general Valentine's Day fail?

ShadeofGreen816

I got valentines fails or favorite tv/movie couples!!

L1C4gal

@BeachMommy2B Just noticed your gif--love it! That's one of H's favorite Simpsons episodes...

nda_roxybabe

@ShadeofGreen816 OOH yes! Favorite movie/ tv couples!!

onebadmotha

Alright, ladies- what's the final verdict? 

nda_roxybabe

A. Valentine Fails
B. Favorite movie/ TV couples

Vote

kns1988

I'm voting favorite movie/tv couples just because I already picked one!

KMD1106

I vote B! Fails are easier to add to any month. 

nda_roxybabe

B for me too I also already have mine picked.

ShadeofGreen816

B! And I have to say that Jim and Pam might be my ultimate fave but I respect your dibs @kns1988! I call Marshall and Lilly from HIMYM. 

NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot

I want to vote B but @kns1988 and @ShadeofGreen816 stole my 2 favorite couples!!

ETA: Dibs on Monica and Chandler.

nda_roxybabe

Hey, they have tons of cute pics together, you could all do your own. Are we posting our choice here?

kns1988

There are enough Jim and Pam gifs to go around! 

NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot

I'm secure in my choice.  DH watches The Office wedding all the time! It's a favorite of both of ours.  Plan A!

L1C4gal

Let me see if I can make this work. Not technically a couple but perhaps I can bend the rules for love!

Edit: Couldn't get the gif to work and it's time to eat. I'll be back. I have one of Snape and Lily--dibs!

nda_roxybabe

I'm kind of overly excited about mine. I love that I did not intentionally choose to do girl on left looking at boy on right, yet..<3

NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot

I love all of yours @nda_roxybabe! I also love Snape and Lily, but I'm still sort of creeped out about Snape's attitude towards Harry @L1C4gal.  Maybe I just love all the popular couples?

nda_roxybabe

@NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot Thanks! I have a huge, horrible confession. I LOVED (love?) The OC. I got all my friends (including the boys) hooked in HS and we'd watch at my house. I went off to college with my Seth Cohen poster (sigh...) and watched there too, but somehow after that I stopped watching and I've never finished the series! It's 100% on my Maternity Leave watchlist. Then GG...I watched all the way until the last like, 6 episodes :O! I didn't want to watch them because I wasn't ready for it to end. Need to go ahead and do those too.

NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot

I got hooked on the OC in college because my male friends stationed in Iraq all watched it and sent me the dvds.  Seth Cohen is my favorite.  The last season wasn't the best but I become incredibly dedicated to TV shows and will insist on seeing it through to the end if I know the end is coming.  GG is great too.  I got DH hooked on that.

My confession is that I give almost all CW shows a chance. It usually pays off.

kns1988

L1C4gal, Wait, Snape and Lily? Is that like Harry Potter fan fiction? Because my knowledge of Snape and Lily Potter is that they're most definitely not a couple. 

pshaortao

Speaking of the OC I have the dvds from the first two seasons

NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot

@kns1988 This might require a spoiler alert, but it's definitely from the source material, not fan fiction. Not technically a couple but a love story nonetheless.

ShadeofGreen816

OC fan girl over here! I too have the DVDs from the first two seasons of The OC. Also last summer/fall I rewatched every single episode including the end that I never really watched. After *spoiler...? Does it count 11 years later?* Marissa's death things kinda got weird, but I think they wrapped the show up nicely. Plus I have a major crush on Ryan. And I feel ok with that since he was like 27 when the show was on

(Spoiler warning just in case) I haven't read the books since I was a kid and have a really bad memory when it comes to books and movies... I'm actually about 150 pages from finishing the 7th book because I've been re-reading them this month, so I think I'll probably get a refresher soon! I could never be a real fangirl since I can't remember details to save my life. 

SKZW

@kns1988: I'm rereading all the HP books now too! It's been a few years. There's so many more great details than the movies could fit in (though those are great in their own way).

kns1988

@SKZW, I've only watched the first movie. I'm planning on bingeing on the rest during maternity leave  

kat81

I shouldn't be allowed to vote because I'm not going to do one (can never get them to work anyway), but I think I'm on board with couples because I agree with the reasoning that it's one good month not to do fails. And I think it's TOTALLY ok for people to choose the same couple as long as it's a different gif. I mean, because Jim and Pam really are objectively the best. I'd rather be looking at 8 of you with different Jim&Pam gifs than couples from shows I don't like or don't know.
