I AM BACK!!! MUAHAHAHAHAA!!!

Hi guys! Time for the LPF articles, it seems. I made a pick, you wanted the articles back and so they are back :) I wasn't really sure I wanted to continue at first, considering that the last article was posted 9 months ago and I have a lot of other stuff going on {which include the LPF fanfics...}, but I like writing these, so how about I get to the point?

Yes, let's see.. updates.. A lot has happened in nine months, I'd say.
#1 - Banjo's account has been deleted. WHAT? WHAT? I know, right? What the hell is going on? Has anyone talked to Banjo and asked her whether she deleted it herself or if it was fanpop again?
#2 - We have gotten a few new members! Yes, we have! I'm not quite sure who was here the last time I wrote an article, so how about I just mention everyone who's semi-new? Sound good? Ok!
Diana, or Smiley, as I know her, Ade, Atie, Zrinka and Z. I truly apologize if you were all here 9 months ago and I just made a total ass out of myself. I'm sorry! But yes, those are the newest girlies, and don't we just agree they're all great? :)
#3 - As a sidenote here I'd like to say that I will not be continuing the test portion of these articles {unless you guys have awesome tests for me to add here} because, SERIOUSLY, I pulled most of the stuff out of the hat and it was all kind of stupid.
#4 - The quiz stuff... I think I am gonna start that again, and I'm gonna start with myself since {oh my god, how????} I won the member of the week thing. The next winner shall get the next quiz! :D I'll ask different kind of questions, so it'll be more updated.
#5 - The LPF awards happened, didn't they? 8 months ago, wasn't it? Well, you all know what you got and stuff, but how would you feel about the awards happening again, like in a few months?
#6 - Updates, updates.. Life sucks, didn't you know? Other stuff, Holly and Moosh are super active girlies who truly make this spot and we love them, don't we? <33 Celine is (HOPEFULLY) gonna meet Paul Wesley, Albie started watching Greys, Meredith became my number 1 female, Christian Bale became the love of my life, fanpop got orange medals (...sigh.....), the year changes to 2013 and the world did not end, Elle finished high school (<3), Celine made a spot, Moosh & I made a spot, something bad apparently happened in PLL, Mark Sloan died, school started and is now ending and a lot of crappy stuff happened and yes, I'm reading all this off the wallposts - wall.
#7 - The LPF fanfics. Ha hahhaa haaa. Yes, as most of you know (and if you don't, you just don't know me, then :P) I love writing more than anything. It's what I do and it's what I wanna do. And I WILL finish these fanfics, I swear to God, I will, I will. I'm just super busy and tbh kind of depressed right now, but I will get them done once I gather myself and get enough energy. Ok? I Will, though. I always keep my promises :)
#8 You guys just keep joining the 10in10 icon contest of mine, because I love hosting it and I love all your icons!!
#9 Just a quick warning that I have super major picks coming up if I'd just PULL MYSELF TOGETHER and get all the info I need for them. But yes, coming up!
#10 - As always, if you want to say something bad, say something nice, suggest anything, the comments can be posted right below this charming article. I'm always happy to know what you guys think, unless it's something bad, because that I won't like. Kidding :P Actually, no, not kidding, but really, say whatever you want! :)

And the next member of the week shall also be the person who the quiz is done on, so whoever the winner will be, be ready for a PM! :)

Oh, and before I let you guys read all the wonderful things Ale and Holly said about me, I decided to take the time to describe myself:
I'm an 18 year old (almost 19!!!) girl from Florida who really, really, really doesn't like herself. I don't like my personality or my looks, but that's just something I have been living with for like forever, so I'm used to it.
I love a lot of fandoms, in case you have not noticed :P Favorite will always and forever be Harry Potter.
As for men I love, I wish I would be answering to this at another time, because then my answer could be more interesting :P Right now it's only Christian Bale/Bruce Wayne for me.
And now to professions! A doctor is who I wanna be - a surgeon to be specific. Right now I'm leaning towards trauma, but neuro would be awesome, too. But of course we all know I'm never getting into med school, but I can still dream. Many people say I should be a writer because I love writing and I think that is my one and only talent I'm good at. Writing. It's the only thing that I'm not ashamed of, so, yes.
Favorite characters in the world. I'm gonna give you a little list of my top, very favorites that no one can beat:
Harry Potter, Meredith Grey, Emma Swan, Bruce Wayne, Katherine Pierce, John Connor, Rose Tyler, Hermione Granger & Stefan Salvatore. Those 9 are the perfect characters that never do anything wrong in my eyes XD
Oh, and should I list a few couples I love? I dunno, maybe. Atm my very faves are of course Stefan&Elena (OTP <33), John&Kate, Meredith&Derek and oh, so many others, but suddenly I'm too lazy to list them. You know what I like (I think) :P
Favorite fandoms... Like right now (and current obsessions in them)? Once Upon a Time. Harry Potter. Batman. Terminator. Grey's Anatomy. The Vampire Diaries. Yeah. No, actually scratch that, not TVD. Not now. Not because of season 4. Definitely not.
I doubt there's nothing else left to say.. You all know what I'm like, for good, and definitely for the bad, so, yeah! I don't like myself, but if you guys do, then awesome! That's great! :) Thank you for voting for me for the member of the week! I don't know why you did, but hey, I'm not complaining or anything. Thank you :)



Now I shall let way smarter and more awesome people take the lead in talking XD Thank you, Holly and Ale, for making this profile for me! I can't thank you enough, you're both amazing <3
And thank you everyone who made those icons for me even when you didn't have to :) Thank you!! I don't deserve this XD I'm blushing. Thank you, everyone!

Holly's part:
Who is Rachel aka Ray aka XxXrachelXxX? Well for starters, she is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest driving forces behind the LPF spot! While we have many creative members that help keep the spot active, it's hard to find anyone that is a active and creative as my bebe Ray. <3 Just to put things in perspective for everyone, so far Ray has made a total of 3,263 picks throughout all the spots she's part of, and 1,930 of those picks are here on the LPF! I'm always really excited to check out Ray's new picks because they never fail to entertain. There are the picks about what couple & character you associate with each of us, which actress would best play us, her joint picks with Moosh & Laura, to the many other picks she's taken the time to do - and there a lot, the majority of which had to be fairly time consuming since she did them for ALL OF US! :O In case it hasn't been said enough, thank you for all that you do for the spot Ray! *hugs* We all love you so much <3
When i think about Ray, there are many things that come in to my mind - There's Doctor Who of course! I think i will always associate DW & Ten/Rose with Ray, even though I've never watched DW! It's just such a huge part of who Ray is, it would be impossible to not think of it when describing who Ray is. Then there are the characters & couples I'm actually familiar with, like Meredith Grey, Emma Swan and Stefan/Elena. And then there's Shannon Rutherford from Lost! I recently talked in one of my picks about how Ray would be the perfect LPF member to play Shannon and i truly meant that. Ray would obviously portray Shannon's beauty perfectly, as well as being able to intertwine the delicate mix of vulnerability, insecurity, charm and wit of Shannon . Shannon was this character who, despite being young, beautiful and having a great life... she was still insecure, unsure of herself. As misplaced as it may be, i see that in Ray. She is such a wonderful young women; smart, funny, beautiful outside AND inside, and very talented... but she struggles to accept that as being true. I keep trying to get her to realize how amazing she is, maybe you guys could help me out?!
I really suck at this, I'm sorry! Haha i had all these ideas in my head before i started writing, but then they just vanished or they didn't seem as good when i started typing... So i apologize for how randomly constructed this is! But yeah! I have to mention my favorite talent that Ray has:
Art- I can't even tell you how much i love Ray's gorgeous art, there just aren't enough words to properly explain. I love how she balances simple & complex, making her flawless piece of work look so effortless coming from her, yet for most of us... we don't even come close! I have always felt like one true test of how amazing someones art is, is to look at a piece of art they've made for a couple/character you hate - if you can look at that art and immediately get past your dislike of the couple/character and think to yourself, "Damn! I wish i liked them because i would so wear this icon/use this as my wallpaper etc." - that's when you know someone is truly a great artist, and i find myself thinking along that same line pretty much every time i see Ray has made a new Stelena icon :o
I think i will wrap this up on a fun note & tell you guys a few of my personal choices for who i ship Ray with, actresses i associate her with etc.

1.) Ray & Stefan Salvatore aka Salvaray or Rayvatore {lol idk}

And Ale's part:
This week Ray won fan of the week and I’m certainly not surprised. As you already know this girl is the most active person here, she is always entreating us with her creative picks, games, picks and now her article. We all have to agree that is the soul of this family, without here most of wouldn’t be here and the spot would be dead. She is very well known for her love for TV shows like Doctor Who, Once Upon A Time and The Vampire Diaries. Who doesn’t remember Ray talking nonstop about The Doctor and Rose? I sure do and even though I still don’t know much about them every time I hear someone mention it I immediately think about her. Although, she adores that couple to death she changed her OTP to Stefan and Elena not so long and I’m sure that shocked more than one girl in here.
Ray and I aren’t the closest of friends, we haven’t invest much time on that but we are working on getting to each other more now and I’m looking forward to it. Why? Because Ray have always seemed to me as a passionate, smart and selfless girl. She is also very creative, she is constantly writing fanfiction, developing new games for us to have fun here and working on fanart and icons. I can’t deny this girl has talent, a lot of talent and I want to ask you Ray to value your own artistic skills more because you are amazing.
Rachel has 53 medals. Impressive, right? I don’t think I’ll ever get not even 10% of the number she has because unlike Ray, I’m lazy and not as determinate and passionate as she is. She owns 16 dedicated medals, 33 Die-Hard and 4 Fanatic medals. I would tell you every spot she has one but 53 is a lot, so let’s just focus on the Red ones, okay? Those are: Emma Swan, Doctor Who, Once Upon A Time and Harry Potter. The last one is her favorite movie ever, apparently it was a good saga but I wouldn’t know. (Seriously, what am I doing here? Everyone in this spot has seen the movies except from me!!)
A few of Rachel’s contributions to this beautiful family are: The article this profile is a part of, A hundred millions of picks we all love, that amazing fanfiction about a few members of this family (I really hope you update soon because that’s like my favorite fanfic ever!!), the icon contest and the 10in10 icon contest. She is also the brain behind the games The Movie Cast Game and When I Say, You Say.
As you can see, Ray is amazing, unique and very important to our family. So if you aren’t a fan of her yet you are making a bit mistake, HUGE!
I love you Ray and thank you for being so patient and wait a million years for me to finish this.





Aren't these two just amazing or what? Wow. Seriously, Ale, Holly, I love you! And Atie, Albie, Holly & Celine, I LOVE the icons you made for me and am gonna show my fave of each of those icons in this article <3




- Ok, right here I'd announce the icon of the week, but just guess if I forgot? :P I'm going to add those polls for next week's article, so be ready and choose the best icons you can find. Muahahahaa XD

Now, stuff of the week:

The movie of the week:
So, it's a tie between Pretty Woman and the Harry Potter movies. Yes, I failed to notice it was a tie, but by the time I noticed, I was already done with this article, so why can't they just share the honor of bieng the movie of the week? XD
Pretty Woman: To be honest, I didn't think any of you even liked this movie. I remember watching this when I was a kid and I loved it. Then I grew up and kind of started to dislike romance movies, but I like this one. And I'm glad it got votes. For those of you who don't know it, it's a movie starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere and it's about this rich guy and a prostitute who meet and - long story short - fall in love. It's sweet.
Harry Potter: Well, I'm sure all of you know this masterpiece. I absolutely love the Harry Potter movies, best thing everrrr, and I'm happy they won! No surprise, either, since there are a lot of HP fans in the family. GO HARRY POTTER! .. Sorry, am I supposed to be unbiased? :P

The TV-Show of the week:
One Tree Hill: Oh, my God, One Tree Hill won. WHAT? I AM SO SHOCKED? Ok, that was sarcasm. After all, this is they LEYTON family, and Leyton is from OTH. So, yes. No need to explain what this show is about to any of you, but I know so many of you genuinly love this show, so I'm happy that it won even if it isn't that big on my list <3

The actress of the week:
Hilarie Burton: No surprise there, either. Hilarie plays Peyton, and she's pretty epic, and wow, so many Hilarie fans on this spot (to mention a few: Moosh, Laurie, Albie, Amber etc...). She's gonna be starring in Grey's Anatomy soon, which I know some of the girls are excited about, so yay for Hilarie!

The actor of the week:
Milo Ventimiglia: Again, not surprised. I know how the love for this man is quite.. major on this spot. Especially amonst Laura, Amber and Moosh. They love him from Gilmore Girls, for his role as Jess Mariano. He was kind of a bad boy, but weell girls will be girls, am I right? ;) Congrats, Milo!

The male character of the week:
Jess Mariano: Oh, Lord. Hah XD I shouldn't feel surprised, should I? Jess from Gilmore Girls, aka Milo, won the first round. Woohooo!!

The female character of the week:
Peyton Sawyer: Our very own Peyton won the first female character of the week award! Yay! :D She's quite something, and I know many Peyton fanatics on this spot agree!
Hilarie, Milo, Jess, Peyton... Am I seeing a pattern here? :P

The couple of the week:
Lucas & Peyton: Well, it's only right that the couple that owns the name of our spot won the first award. Lucas & Peyton are Leyton, aka the thing that brought us all together in the first place. I know some of you don't even ship them, which is cool, though! :) You know what I mean anyway, I'm sure! Woohoo, congrats, Leyton!



The friendship of the week:
Meredith & Cristina: I'm personally happy about this one because I love Grey's and especially Meredith (a shock, to know this I'm sure), and her friendship with Cristina is pretty epic. They're each other's "persons", so that's cool! :D Those of you who watch Greys know what I mean by this. Yay, Meredith&Cristina!

The RL-relationship of the week:
Andrew Garfield & Emma Stone: The stars of the Amazing Spider-man. Well, well, well. I knew Celine was obsessed with them, but I didn't know the rest of you were! Not that I'm complaining. Andrew & Emma are super cute and play Gwen & Peter very well :) They are dating for real, right? Emma and Andrew?

That was it with the stuff of the week. Keep your eyes open for more polls!

Now, I think I'm gonna end this article with a few nice words. Oh, and I want to say that I know I'm a bit rusty and this article probably wasn't that great, but I'm just getting back out there & inventing new stuff for the articles, so don't give up on me just yet, ok? :)

Now the nice things.. I know we were all kind of MIA at one point, but I'm glad the spot is back again and you guys are all here, because I love you guys. I know I sometimes seem like I don't like you guys or think you guys don't like me, but that's not true at all. I'm so happy you accepted me into this family and.. it has been an experience that I have really loved. And I hope it won't be over yet! :) So, let's celebrate our epic spot and.. you guys all can like eat a cookie at your own houses to celebrate it or whatever. *goes to get a cookie*. Love you guys! You make this spot what it is! :)
