Tonight is the finale of LOST. Oh, goodness. I hope it is a good ending. Whatever happens, it has been one heck of a journey. I started watching LOST when the second season began. My best friends had been talking about it all through out the first season, but I never watched it. So the night of the 2nd season premiere, I watched the recap and by using that info, and what I had heard from my friends, I was able to pretty much understand what was going on. I was hooked instantly. My sister was too. So we watched the second season. My sister got the first season on dvd that Christmas and over the break we caight up on the show by watching the whole first season. From there I don't think I have ever missed an episode. If I did then I watched it online as soon as I could. This is a show that has driven me crazy, made me want cry, cracked me up, and made me want to run around the house because it is so full of awesome. I will always love this show. No matter all the terrible and pointless things they have done, especially of late, I will always love it. It is creative and totally different than anything else on tv. In its honor, I have made a small fan-mix (and graphic which you can feel free to snag if the desire strikes). Oh, Lost. I will miss you.

Hero/Heroine by Boys Like Girls I got a closet filled up to the brim,
with the ghosts of my past and the skeletons
And I don't know why you'd even try
But I won't lie
You caught me off gaurd,
And now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero, and you are my heroine
Ever since Jack opened his eye on that island and proceeded to help as many people as possible, there have been heros and heroines running around that crazy island. Whether the intentions were noble or selfish, LOST has taken flawed characters and given them a chance to make a difference, save a life.

Uninvited by Alanis Morissette It must be exciting to watch the stoic squirm,
Must be somewhat heartening to watch shepherd meet shepherd.
But you, you're not allowed
You're not invited
An unfortunate slight.
Power shifts = Every episode of LOST. It was interesting to see how everyone intereacted with each other. Who had power and sway over others and who stood up for themselves. I also like the second line up there because it has a nice play on Jack's name. And he met his sister who is technically a Shephard too. I actually have that same last name too, just a different spelling. Whenever I feel like crying I just say it runs in the "family."

How Can I Not Love You by Joy Enriquez
Must be brave and we must go on,
Must not say what we've known all along
How can I not love you?
What do I tell my heart?
When do I not want you hear in my arms?
One of my favorite things about LOST, my being such a hopeless romantic, is all the loves, lost and lasting, the show had.
Charlie and Claire. Jack and Kate. Kate and Sawyer. Sun and Jin. Sayid and Shannon. Hurley and Libby. Juliet and Jack.
Juliet and Sawyer. Faraday and Charlotte. Rose and Bernard. Locke and Helen. Sayid and Nadia. Desmond and Penny.
*SIGH*

I Will Find You by Clannad No matter where you go I will find you,
If it takes a long, long time.
No matter where you go I will find you,
If it takes a thousand years.
Speaking of Desmond and Penny... this song is the equivalent of their phone call. I have always thought so. It was epic and amazing. It is one of my favorite LOST moments. Top 3.

Glitter in the Air by P!nk Have you ever looked fear into the face, and said 'I just don't care?'
It's only half past the point of no return,
The tip of the iceburg, the sun before the burn,
The thunder before the lightening, and the breath before the phrase,
Have you ever felt this way?
LOST has been such a crazy journey. I watched the pilot episode last night, and things were just so simple back then. I don't think I could ever fathom that at episode would lead up to this... whatever this is. So excited to find out.

This is Home by Switchfoot I've got my memory, always inside of me,
And I can't go back, back to how it was.
------
Belief over misery
I've seen the enemy
And I won't go back, back to how it was.
And I've got my heart set on what happens next
I've got my eyes wide it's not over yet.
We are miralces
And we're not alone.
Is LOST really ending tonight? No more late nights journaling, emailing, and scheming about what is going to happen? This story is really going have some kind of end? I hope it is a good one. Not just for the fans' sakes, but the characters' as well. :)

Remember by Josh Groban I'm with you whenever you tell my story,
For I am all I've done.
Remember, I will still be here,
As long as you hold me in your memory.
How could I not, LOST? How could I not?
It has been awesome. Now, I have to just not cry. Or else my sister will hold that over my head. Forever.
