Fandom high meme
I was perusing through some random people's journals last night searching for Logan/Mac stories. I read this one, which I totally will rec to anyone, whether your a fan or not, of either the ship, or the show Veronica Mars, simply because it really has nothing much to do with the show and it is just beautifully written.... the story is Remembering Your Divinity by
monimala. And it is just freaking amazing. 'Nuff said. I actually think i found this meme in that journal...
But anyway... for those of my friends who are VM'ers, and know how in love I am with the Mac/Dick ship, I do have to say, I am slightly intrigued by Logan/Mac, which is how Mac/Dick totally started for me. But it is nothing serious, and I would never want it to be cannon. I much prefer the two as friends, GOOD friends, but friends nonetheless (Logan and Mac, that is). And Mac/Dick will remain my OTP (even though I have totally forgotten what it actually stands for, I still know the meaning of it) no matter what, even a little more than Logan/Veronica and LoVe may be my OTP... anyhoo...
To the meme!
Fandom High
Sure, none of us really want to go back to high school--even those of us who are still in it--but if you could create your perfect fictional high school, what would it be like?
The School: Sunnydale High, Buffy the Vampire Slayer; it is just such a beautiful school and I was quite upset when the Scoobies blew it up - but it is a real school, Torrence High, in Torrence, CA, also where they shot Beverly Hill 90210.
The Principal: Van Clemmons, Neptune High, Veronica Mars; just because he's sorta cool.
Your Favorite Teacher (educationally): do librarians count? if so, Mr. Rupert Giles, Buffy the Vampire Slayer; because hey, he taught Buffy a lot - well, at least a lot in the world of the occult... if not, do guidance counselors count? Mr. Jeff Rosso, Freaks and Geeks; because he's a nerd, but a cool nerd.
Your Favorite Teacher (because they're hot): Mr. Rooks, Veronica Mars; only in one episode, Mars v. Mars, episode 1.14 - because he's super hott (yeah, Adam Scott) even though he totally had sex with students and got fired... oops.
The Sports Authority: Coach Ben Fredericks, Freaks and Geeks; because he's totally Biff from from Back to the Future and he dated Bill's mom.
The Jocks: Wallace Fennel, Veronica Mars; because he's got a killer something in basketball.
The Cheerleaders: Cordelia Chase, Buffy the Vampire Slayer; no freaking contest.
Jen Lindley, Dawson's Creek; because she was the anti-cheerleader.
The Brains: Brian Krakow, My So-Called Life; he's just such a nerd, and that hair is AWESOME!
And maybe, Joey Potter, Dawson's Creek; that is, before she started pissing me off, and more when she was in love with Pacey than with Dawson.
The Outsiders: (this is going to be a LONG ONE) Veronica Mars, Veronica Mars; because everyone hates her in season 1, and I miss that.
And of course, The Freaks, aka Lindsay Weir, Daniel Desario, Nick Andopolis, Kim Kelly, and Ken Miller, Freaks and Geeks; because hey, they totally ruled the 80s for half a season.
(And honorable mention to The Geeks aka Sam Wier, Neil Schweiber, and Bill Haverchuck, Freaks and Geeks; because they're the geeks and totally not cool at all.)
Also, could not forget, Angela and Ricky, My So-Called Life; they were just too weird, but too cute. 13 years later and I'm still pissed that show was cancelled.
Oh yeah, and Max Evans and Michael Gueren, Roswell, because hey, they were aliens - and I would also say Isabelle Evans, but she was kind of cool - and Alex Whitman and Maria DeLuca, because they weren't aliens, but still kind of outsiders.
(P.S. can you tell I love the outsiders?)
The In School Hangout: The Library, Buffy the Vampire Slayer; no where will ever be as cool to be in at school as that damn library was; why did they have to graduate and blow the place up? Seriously. And, honorable mention to, The Bleachers By the Track, Freaks and Geeks; because I always wanted somewhere to go "be cool" at when I was in high school, too.
The After School Hangout: The Desert, and it's random whereabouts, Roswell; because you have to admit, hanging out in the desert is pretty randomly cool.

And, there you have it. High School sucks. Teachers have sex with you, you get taped to the flagpole on your first day at a new school, your so-called best friend has sex with the guy you're in love with, your best friend gets murdered and then your dad and you are outted by society because you blamed the "wrong" guy, fake i.d.'s cost you shit loads of money and then get taken away by your hip guidance counselor and you end up drinking cokes anyway, sometimes your guidance counselor turns out to be an undercover FBI agent looking for proof that you're an alien, you flip flop between the guy you thought you were in love with and the guy you really should be in love with because he's way better than that other loser, and of course, most importantly, sometimes the end of the world comes and you have to stop it and in order to do that you have to blow up your high school.
It all sucks, but what are you gonna do about it? Wait until you can a. graduate, or b. blow up you school, or c. take off in a spaceship and go back to your home planet. All of the above, if you ask me, in that order.
And now, I'm going back to sleep because it's 9am and I went to bed around 4am, and the cable guy has come and it is all fixed and all is well in the world. Well ok, not ALL is ever WELL. But at least the cable and internet in my apartment are. And that's good enough for me right now.
