The world was evil and played a cosmic April Fool's Day joke on me yesterday by giving me this song on the radio as I was coming home:
The Click Five,
Happy Birthday Hey you
I know I'm in the wrong
Time flies
When you're having fun
You wake up
Another year is gone
You're twenty-one
I guess you wanna know
Why I'm on the phone
It's been a day or so
I know it's kinda late
But happy birthday
Yeah yeah, I know you hate me
Well I miss you too
Yeah yeah I know
I know it's kinda late
But happy birthday
So hard
When you're far away
It's lame but I forgot the date
I won't make the same mistake
I'm so to blame
Now you know
Don't hang up the phone
I wish I was at home
I know it's way too late
But happy birthday
It's not that I don't care
You know I'll make it up to you
If I could I'd be there
I know it's kinda late
But happy birthday
To you
Just listening to the opening stanza makes me smile. I can just see a song like this on any teen movie soundtrack. I’d describe it as, “That Idiot You Can’t Get Angry At”, which also explains why my delight at liking the song turned into a sense of gradually increasing horror when I realised that it was a perfect YamaGoku song. No, really. This is nearly-TYL!YamaGoku long-distance romance! Yamamoto can be singing the WHOLE SONG over the phone to Gokudera, who will be snarling and FULL OF HATE just because IT’S YAMAMOTO, he doesn’t need a REASON to hate Yamamoto, and WHO GIVES A DAMN IF YOU REMEMBER MY BIRTHDAY ANYWAY, BASEBALL IDIOT.
And Yamamoto is all smiles and a perfect ray of sunshine even over the phone in that absolutely infuriating way of his, ESPECIALLY when he goes, I know you hate me, hey, I miss you, too.
... SHOOT ME NOW
Gokudera is kind of as emotionally retarded as Xanxus that way (except when it comes to Tsuna, for which he is an entirely different kind of emotionally retarded). In the same way as throwing a glass at someone’s head = THANK YOU FOR BEING MY SUBORDINATE even though I can’t understand why you’re still with me, SNARLING = AFFECTION.
Anyway, the point is, it’s a beautiful day today where I am, with clear blue skies and gorgeous sunshine, so if this turns to torrential rain all too soon, it’s all my fault for the YamaGoku thoughts.
It’s no mistake that my favourite … *twitch* … I find it very difficult to put the word “favourite” next to the words “YamaGoku fic”, so shall I just say, the fic I liked best that happened to have 8059 listed as a pairing involved Gokudera finding out that he ends up with Yamamoto ten years later, and then immediately informing Tsuna that he was going to kill himself. Immediately.
IT’S WHAT I WOULD DO.
Here are some funny things that happened online today. I'll put them here so you can laugh at them instead.
Google's Custom Time. My favourite part: the testimonials from satisfied beta-testers. "The entire concept of 'late' no longer exists for me. That's pretty cool." [Oh God, NO MORE LIMITATION PERIODS, what would this do to the legal industry!?]
I was still more fond of the
Gmail Paper joke a while back.
Here's
LJ's joke.
My favourite was
half-sleeping's
Spanner/Tsuna, Xanxus/Tsuna, Leon/Tsuna fic, based on the
Leon/Tsuna is fandom canon joke.
