I haven't heard Jimmy Eat World's "Sweetness" in
forever, and now I'm listening to it on repeat whenever I can. It is so my feel-good song. What's a song that you can just listen to and suddenly feel carefree and just.... \o/!!
So, a meme. All my posts have been fairly short and pointless lately, so I'm going to try and drag this one out to the best of my ability. :D
Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.
_touched gave me these to answer...
Lex/Lana - Oh yes, for the longest time, I HATED this idea. So much. It's a miracle how I turned to love these two so much. But I did. It was dark, it was hot, it was beautiful and fucked up. Just how I like them. Well, they had the potential to be this dark, epic couple, but it just couldn't happen. They had a great connection though. Lana was the only one left after Clark and him
broke up drifted apart. Lex challenged her, he saw her full potential unlike any other person in her life, and she kept away the dark... momentarily.
I think what appealed to me at first about them, was there was this kind of pure beauty (Lana/KK) matched up with an unconventionally attractive, crazy man (Lex/MR). The girl from Edgemont with pigtails, making out with the guy in drag from Sweet November? DUDE. Brilliant.
If it wasn't for Superman canon, I would have pleaded for these two to have their own show.
Lexana: Kicking Ass in Metropolis (And Sexing in Shiny Cars)D: WHY.
Shawn/Jules - When I was first introduced to the show, I still had my slash goggles on, and wasn't particularly interested in seeing anything happen between Shawn and Jules. But I did turn around and saw the appeal of these two.
Their first scene at the diner was probably one of the cutest things and if Shawn could do his Jules voice in every episode, I would be happy. These two work well together, they care about each other, trust each other, and I love that Jules actually gets (most of) his references. And she hasn't completely fallen under his spell. Even if nothing romantic happens between them for a long time, that's okay, because their relationship on a friendship level is good enough for me. And they make a cute couple in real life, so, you know. It's all good.
IMO, whether Shawn changed his answers or not to the personality questionnaire, those two are a perfect match. It won't work right now. It's partly a matter of when Shawn is ready to mature and make the move. Because she won't wait forever. Just... please. No repeat of any Dawson's creek love triangle bullshit.
James Roday - He's hot, he's funny, he's kind of Mexican, he loves dogs, and he has great hair. Come on.
But no, really. This man has a real talent for humor, and his flexibility is impressive! He isn't an action star. And he isn't the deep-voiced hunky romantic who sweeps you off your feet. Which, to me, isn't a bad thing in the least. It makes him more interesting. I don't know what roles he'll be casted in now, I just know I would love to see him in more movies.
Go see Rolling Kansas. That is all.
Reading one of his interviews out of boredom also introduced me to Mew, my new 3rd favorite band. Woo!
Six Feet Under - I remember seeing a clip about the finale on Best Week Ever, or the episode before the finale, and at that time, I had no interest in watching the show (but I do know what's going to happen in the end, thanks a lot!) and also, I didn't have HBO. I don't remember what possessed me to finally check out the first season. But it sounded good at the time, and within the first couple minutes, It was like I had found Jesus. Or just, a really good series. Each ending made me craving more, and I was so interested in this family and all their fucked up-ness. I stopped watching after S4's "That's My Dog" episode. Not because I don't like it anymore, but because renting is expensive! But someday, I WILL finish the series.
Chris/Jal - I really would not have put these two together, but then that episode "Chris" happened. And it was only a matter of time. When it finally did happen, it was amazing. Never did I love Chris more. And Jal, oh Jal :( It's heartbreaking how this ended, and part of me isn't so forgiving, but the other part of me... well, likes heartbreak.
Sorry, I tried to say what I could about them ^ without getting spoilery lol.
