vid: what you're waiting for [How I Met Your Mother]
So, I finally watched my way through to the end of How I Met Your Mother, now that there's an alternate ending to take the edge of my rage, but, er. Er, I have never been so angry about anything I made a vid to express it before. (I may yet make an actual post about this, in actual words, that are not just "aaaaargh", but we'll see.) I've also never made a vid for a single character before, nor for something with less than eleven seasons of source. Er.
Anyway: this is a a vid in praise of Tracy McConnell, perfect beautiful dorky musician economist Tracy, who deserved so much more than she got. (It is a great disappointment to me that I could not fit any of Tracy's paintings of robots doing track and field into this vid. I love her so much.)
[NB re: spoilers - for the last season of How I Met Your Mother (er, if you don't want to know who the mother is, look away a couple of paragraphs ago!), but not the actual ending.]

lyrics:
You've been waiting for the wind to change direction
Waiting for the sun to shine
You've been waiting for a new connection
But you're walking on the same old line
You've been waiting so long
How can you wait a single minute more?
You've been waiting so long
you just don't know what you are waiting for
You've been wishing for a gentle hand to guide you
For a heavenly sign
You've been wishing for a spark to burn inside you
For a little bit more time
You've been wishing so hard
How can you now wish for any more?
You've been wishing so hard
you just don't know what you are wishing for
Some say the good things come to all those who wait
Then again they might not come at all
Some say the good things come to all those who wait
Then again they might not come at all
Also, if you're looking for the alternate ending, which I now subscribe to utterly and completely, here it is. One of the many things I love about it is that it has no new footage - which is to say it is, itself, a vid! - and also Alyson Hannigan hasn't aged in twenty years, and I'm gonna end up making the 1000-word post on my thoughts and feelings about this, aren't I.
