OTP- One True Pairing

You can have more than one! I do! I have several! An OTP is a couple who you think belongs together forever... basically to sum up. A couple that are just perfect together, that totally belong together. This can be in real life or in fiction. They don't necessarily have to be canon/end-game (who are actually together/who ends up together in the end), it's just who you see together as one, and who have fantasmagorical chemistry, and you just want to cry every time they are together because they are so perfect! (All mine are canon AND end-game because it hurts too much to ship anything that isn't... because in the end, everything you hope for them will never actually happen. You just have to dream. Ya feel me?).

So, here's my boredom again. I've made a list of my favorite OTPs... and other details about them. (I have more than what's on this list, but several of them escape me for the time being.) Trust me, the list is endless). But now, I'm putting it up for all to see.

Alright. Down to business:

List (in ABC order):
Arwen- (Arthur+Guinevere) from Merlin

Clois- (Clark+Lois) from Smallville

Dizzie- (Darcy+Lizzie) from The Lizzie Bennet Diaries

Dizzy- (Mr. Darcy+Elizabeth) from Pride and Prejudice

Flypunzel- (Flynn+Rapunzel) from Tangled

Mondler- (Monica+Chandler) from Friends

Shules- (Shawn+Juliet) from Psych

Snowing- (Snow White+Prince Charming) from Once Upon a Time

Zorrena- (Alejandro+Elena) from The Mask of Zorro/The Legend of Zorro

First Meeting:
Arwen
Unknown. They met before the show began... apparently a bad first impression.
BAD WHY? Because Arthur was an arrogant, stuck-up bully.

Clois
In a cornfield in Smallville after Clark was returned to Earth by Jor-El, memory-wiped, and Lois found him... mixed first impression.
MIXED WHY? Because Clark was memory-wiped and Lois just thought he was this weird guy who was struck by lightening and was only trying to get him to a hospital.

Dizzie
At a wedding when they were forced to dance together after Lizzie caught the bouquet and Darcy caught the garter... bad first impression.
BAD WHY? Because Darcy was a "stone-freaking-statue" while dancing and called Lizzie "decent enough".

Dizzy
At a town ball in Meryton shortly after Mr. Bingley first arrived at Netherfield and he brought his friends... bad first impression.
BAD WHY? Because Darcy said Lizzy was "tolerable... but not handsome enough to tempt me".

Flypunzel
In Rapunzel's tower when Flynn climbed in and Rapunzel knocked him out and tied him to a chair... mixed first impression.
MIXED WHY? They were in an awkward situation. It wasn't exactly a bad first impression, but they were definitely a bit irritated with one another on some level.

Mondler
At the Gellar house when Ross brought Chandler home from college for Thanksgiving dinner... bad first impression.
BAD WHY? Monica overheard Chandler calling her fat.

Shules
In a diner when Juliet unintentionally took Shawn's seat while on a stakeout... good first impression.
GOOD WHY? Shawn did a good amount of flirting after he took the seat next to her, to which she positively received, but did not return since she was on a job.

Snowing
In the forest after Snow robbed James's carriage and he hunted her down and caught her in a net... mixed first impression.
MIXED WHY? They too had an awkward situation. It wasn't necessarily a bad first impression, but they certainly were very irritated with each other.

Zorrena
Outside the soldiers' barricades just before Alejandro broke in while dressed in his homemade Zorro disguise, and Elena was on her way to Confession at a nearby church... good first impression.
GOOD WHY? Elena was captivated by the mysterious man in the mask (which she later confessed to) and Alejandro was clearly enchanted by her beauty.

First Kiss:
Arwen
In Gwen's home before the jousting tournament (when Arthur is posing as Sir William)... Arthur initiated it.

Clois
Depends on your definition of "first kiss". Technically in an alleyway while Clark was posing as the Green Arrow to cover for Oliver to throw Lois off the trail, but Lois didn't know it was him. Then later, Lois was under some love spell and Clark was infused with red Kryptonite, in a phone booth at the Daily Planet, but neither had any memory of it (well Clark probably did, but wouldn't admit to it). Their first official kiss of both their own free will was at the Daily Planet after they got replaced on a news show that Lois really wanted... Alley- Lois initiated it. Phone booth- Lois initiated it. Daily Planet- Clark initiated it.

Dizzie
In the den of the Bennet house when Darcy visited to return Lizzie's voice message... Lizzie initiated it.

Dizzy
Unknown. Probably during their wedding... I don't know who initiated it. There wasn't one actually included in the book. If you watch a movie version, it differs.

Flypunzel
In Rapunzel's tower after Rapunzel's tear brought Flynn back to life... Rapunzel initiated it.

Mondler
In Chandler and Joey's hotel room the night before Ross and Emily's wedding in London... Monica initiated it.

Shules
In Declan Rand's house a few days before Jules was supposed to leave on a 2 week vacation to Italy with Declan, and Shawn was telling her to have an amazing trip... Juliet initiated it.

Snowing
In the forest after Snow had drank the amnesiac potion and was attempting to kill the queen. James leapt in front of the arrow and professed his love for her... Snow initiated it.

Zorrena
In the stables at Don Rafael's hacienda. After Alejandro had stolen the map to the mine (as his first official feat as Zorro) and Elena intercepted him trying to escape and tried to force him to return whatever he stole by fighting him... Alejandro initiated it.

Most Romantic Moment:
Arwen
When Gwen is accused of sorcery and Arthur is willing to give up his entitlement to the throne to save her.

Clois
When they dance in the barn after the high school reunion and Clark starts to float.

Dizzie
The latter half of episode 98 (aka when Darcy declares his love for a second time).

Dizzy
Darcy's second proposal.

Flypunzel
I See the Light.

Mondler
Their wedding vows.

Shules
When they're on the bridge in Canada and Shawn tells Juliet about his motorcycle. (It doesn't sound romantic when you say it like that XD)

Snowing
When they are reunited after the curse is broken.

Zorrena
When they dance at Don Rafael's party.

Favorite Moment:
Arwen
When Arthur takes Gwen on a picnic and they talk about their dreams (before they get caught).

Clois
When they're posing as an engaged couple to investigate kidnappings of other engaged couples.

Dizzie
When Darcy is attempting to ask Lizzie to the theater (before they get interrupted).

Dizzy
When Elizabeth is trying to get Darcy to recall when he first fell in love with her.

Flypunzel
Their day in the kingdom (aka their "first date").

Mondler
When Chandler is consoling Monica after she finds out that she gives bad massages by telling her she gives the "best bad massages".

Shules
Close talking.

Snowing
Their first meeting.

Zorrena
At Count Armand's wine tasting party when everyone is dancing and Alejandro gets drunk and finds out that Elena is the count's escort.

Most Heartbreaking:
Arwen
When Arthur confronted Gwen after finding her with Lancelot, then banished her.

Clois
When Lois was telling Oliver how she felt about Clark at Chloe and Jimmy's wedding. (Me: "Just when she was finally giving into her feelings for Clark, Lana had to return into his life.")

Dizzie
When they were talking when Darcy came to visit Lizzie after she left the voicemail (about how they aren't friends and stuff).

Dizzy
When Darcy walks in on Lizzy after she hears about Lydia running away with Wickham.

Flypunzel
When Flynn dies in Rapunzel's arms.

Mondler
When they find out that they can't have a baby.

Shules
When Shawn tells Juliet the truth about what he does.

Snowing
When Snow is forced to lie and tell James that she doesn't love him.

Zorrena
When Elena tells him that if he walks out the door (to answer the call for Zorro), he's not sleeping at the house that night. And he goes.

Romantic Lines:
Arwen
"Will you marry me?"
"Yes. Yes with all my heart."

Clois
"I wanted these vows to be perfect, but perfection is a hard thing to get your hands on. But life is meant to be a little messy. And when it comes to love, I think it's like what my dad always said about the army: you only sign up if it's the only thing if you can ever imagine doing. And Clark, I cannot imagine spending a moment of my life without you. I promise to always have your back, as you will always have mine. You're my best friend, you're my home, you're my true love. And I'm yours and will be forever."

Dizzie
"I don't want to be just friends and I don't want to be with you because I'm grateful. I want to be with you because of you. Got it?"

Dizzy
"In vain I have struggled, it will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."

Flypunzel
"You were my new dream."
"And you were mine."

Mondler
"I thought that it mattered what I said or where I said it. Then I realized, the only thing that matters is that you make me happier than I ever thought I could be. And if you let me, I will spend the rest of my life trying to make you feel the same... Monica, will you marry me?"

Shules
"You think I don't want her to be happy? I want her to be happy. But, serious Shawn moment here, I want to be happy too. And for some reason, I can't imagine that happening without Juliet."

Snowing
"I will always find you."

Zorrena
"Something in his eyes captured me. I felt warm and feverish."

Top 20 LOL Friends Moments

Ah, what you won't do when you're bored and have nothing to do. I have started rewatching Friends since the cruise this last week (yes, I have seen every episode. This should not be a shock to anyone who knows me). Afton, Shaelyn, Taylor, and I would order room service and watch some episodes (since the other three had not seen the show) while in our pajamas, or in their case, pantless. Anyways, watching the episodes made me remember how frikin' HILARIOUS that show is! I mean, it is seriously one of the funniest shows I have ever watched in my life! It's got all the different types of humor in it. Slapstick, witty, deadpan, (unfortunately) adult, ironic, physical, sarcastic, screwball, loads of situational, and even some stand-up.

Anyways, out of boredom, I have created a list of my top 20 laugh out loud moments in order. (Believe me this was not easy and top 20 was the smallest I could narrow it down to). OK, here we go.

20) Crap Bag
This clip doesn't show the whole of the situation, but the only video I could find doesn't allow embedding! >:( So go to this link to watch. Anyways, Mike's awesome. He should have been around for more seasons. He knows just how to handle Phoebe. Instead of telling her that her name is ridiculous, to which she would just ignore (like all her friends would), he shows her... like this XD

19) Chandler, Ross, and Monica Share Secrets
Skip to 3:38
(Actually all the clips in this are funny, but the only one to make the cut is the last one). Such weird things have happened to these people XD I love that Ross's comeback for everything is always "Whatever, dude, you kissed a guy".

18) Joey's Tailor
"Yes. Yes, it is... IN PRISON!" Oh, Joey. Your cluelessness is adorable. And Chandler. Your freaking out abilities are priceless.

17) Ross's Tan
I love how he's practically black at the end XDD And Chandler taking a picture. Counting "Mississippi-ily" will get you into trouble. "I'M AN 8!!!"

16) Joey's Eyebrows
This is supposed to be all one clip, but I couldn't find anything with it combined, so here's two. See, now Joey understands what we girls go through to make ourselves look nice. Chandler and Joey together always make me laugh. "Curl my eyelashes" "Yeah!" XDD

15) Chandler Getting Out of Exercising 
It just goes to show that lazy people are the most creative. His dance at the end is what really gets me though.

14) Rachel's Trifle
A layer of lady fingers, a layer of jam, a layer of custard made from scratch, raspberries, more lady fingers, then beef sautéed with peas and onions, then bananas, all topped with whipped cream! Yum! I love that Monica actually takes Joey's stupid acting advice to pretend to enjoy the trifle. I wish I could have found a clip that included Rachel and Chandler coming back in from the balcony: "So a bird just grabbed it and then tried to fly away with it? And then just dropped it on the street?"

13) Hypnosis Tape
The chapstick, the towels, the girly jumping. OMG I laugh so hard! Especially when the millionaire arrives and he's all bouncing in the background.

12) Rachel's Cat
Everyone's comments are the best. "Why is it inside out?" "It's a minion of the antichrist!" "What is this? Some kind of snake?" "What's wrong with your baby?" and Joey consistently insisting "It's not a cat!".

11) Moving Ross's Couch
One of the most famous scenes from the show. I had heard "PIVOT!" long before I even knew it was from Friends.

10) Emma Locked in the Apartment
Usually the best sarcasm comes from Chandler, but this is one fantastic bit of mocking.

9) The Jellyfish Story
I love how they tell it like a dramatic war story. And of course "EEEEEEEWWWWWWW!"

8) Boys Dancing to 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight'
I cannot get enough of these three. There is no way to describe it, you just have to watch it XDD

7) "Paper! Snow! A Ghost!"
This is why I love Joey.

6) Flan High
Again with the three guys, you can't describe it. You have to watch their little hop/dance thing to fully appreciate it XDD. And that was some quick thinking on Joey's part there at the end XD

5) Ross is Fine
Again, I couldn't find a combination! Argh! So much about this, I just die laughing. "MY FAJITAS!" and the whole L-O-V-E speech are my two favorites, but there's so much more. "*gasp* Let's take a trip!", "It must be the pressure of entertaining."


4) Joey Doesn't Share Food
The flashback while Joey is telling the story is the best part. The dramatic music, the slo-mo, Joey's face. I laugh so hard XDD


3) Coming Out of the Shorts
Their reactions and facial expressions seriously make me choke on my laughter! And Gunther at the end OMG!

2) Prank Call on Chandler
Poor Chandler, but BAHAHAHAHA!

1) Ross Kissed Monica
My all-time funniest scene EVER! OMG I laugh SO HARD! Their faces when it all comes together. Especially Ross "No! No! No!". And Monica's "You were my first kiss ever!?" XDDD I seriously die laughing every time. This show is awesome!
