7 Songs I'm Into Right Now Meme
This meme has lousy timing because I am regularly nuts about several songs at a time and there are only a few I'm excited about lately. Alas.
Suddenly I See by KT Tunstall. This is the song in the background of the Amazing Race commercials and it caught my attention. It's upbeat, it's fun, KT Tunstall is adorable. Also, in my vidding daydreams, this makes a great Vala/Daniel song. *happysigh*
Renegade by Styx. I am shameless and picked this up from someone the day after it was in a Supernatural episode because people kept talking about how great it was and I...didn't know the words and didn't remember it from the episode and...look, I failed at SPN that night, okay? I'm making amends.
Letters From the Wasteland by the Wallflowers. Yeah, um. *looks at journal title* I actually only read the lyrics before picking it as a theme and I found the CD at the used music store the other day so now I have it. I think this one might be an mp4, though, so if you don't use iTunes, you may have to convert it.
The Heart of Me by Alexa Ray Joel. I'm not so much into the song as I picked up the CD at Target a few weeks back and kind of want to discuss it with other people. I think this is the best song on the disk. (There are only six anyway, and one's a cover.) It seems the most sincere.
Sleeping Dogs by Merrill Bainbridge. Yes, I loaded all my mid-90s classics on Gracie and dragged this song into the Vala/Daniel folder. I find the line, "I don't think you're very smart; you don't think I'm very pretty," most appropriate.
Einstein on the Beach by Counting Crows. I dunno, I just really like it. I'm having a whole Counting Crows renaissance.
Fuck Her Gently by Tenacious D. I...this one should just speak for itself. It's a tender, loving, ballad. Really. You can ask furina_1975. *cough*
The Meme Where I Still Like Five of My Stories
There's some text that goes here about how it's okay to do this. Okay. My biggest problem is that I usually look back at things I write and find every single awkward phrase and line that doesn't sound like the character and...oh, I could make a list. But I shall overcome.
Dysgeusia. I actually still like quite a lot of my House stuff, but this one is my favorite. It's a Cameron story from the end of the first season. When everyone was bitching about how stupid, and self-centered, and immature she was, I remembered being stupid and self-centered and immature, and how much I messed up myself back then.
One to Let Go. The Weir/Sumner fic - hey, the meme said it had to be our favorite, not our best! I think there's still a lot of problems with the voice and tenses in this, but I feel like it got an incredible response considering the main characters aren't necessarily the most popular.
The Best Things in Life Are Free. I can't not love this one. I just can't.
Objects in the Rearview Mirror are Closer Than They Appear. It's a Dinah/Bruce story from the Potatoverse days. I didn't re-read it for fear that I wouldn't love it anymore, but if even if it sucks now, I can love it for the title, can't I?
I'm so going to hell for this one but...House of Cards. It's the Star Wars Mary Sue story. I'm so ashamed. It was the first time I really tried to write an action story and I was only a little in love with my own OC. It was 1999? (This is another one I haven't re-read for fear I'll hate it.)
Bonus! Favorite Drabble: Visiting Hours. Batman/Death.
*** HOUSE SPOILERS ***
Aw, Dave Matthews, you are so adorable!
Did House actually roll his eyes before Cameron kissed him? I was pretty sure she was up to something because it was all too reminiscent of the "Cameron, I love you," scene. I would have liked to see her draw blood blind, though.
Chase! "I'm going to hug you." SO CUTE. Also, I love how he keeps casting the doe eyes at Cameron every time someone (Foreman) makes a comment about House and Cameron.
Also, House feeling up Cuddy was a highlight of my evening.
I was pretty sure from the beginning that House didn't have brain cancer (although that might have made a good season-and-a-half arc where they try to figure out other things he has...that sounds pretty medically unlikely as a timeline, though.) I'm disappointed that it's still All About the High, which I'm tired of, several times over. (To the point where I'm only watchin House on its actual night instead of Friday reruns because Veronica Mars wasn't on.) I read Sherlock Holmes, I know about the cocaine. I'm just over House shoving it in people's faces, I think.
*cough* kerithwyn, I know what I forgot to do this weekend. *hangs head* Photoshop is open and if not tomorrow, Spring Break is imminent. 4 more classes!
Also, WTF, snow tomorrow? I am SO COLD.
