Oh my god. We are so outnumbered.
(But our layout is better.)
(It's weird how I say "us" when I've only been hardcore into this ship for two days.)
Okay, tampons? SUCK. I started using them for the first time today, right? The first time was awesome, because it's taken me four years to figure it out. The second time, the string somehow got wrapped around it. So when I took it out, it was like giving birth to a very very small cotton baby. It was not fun.
Anyway, I'm really frustrated right now because my computer spontaneously shut down and the internet stopped working when I turned it back on. So to keep myself busy, I'm gonna muse on House and House/Stacy for a minute.
I first saw the show before it started, when I got one of those pilot DVDs in an episode of Entertainment Weekly. I thought it was awesome. Given the level of maturity I had at the time, it was pretty amazing that I actually considered watching a show that didn't have a female lead I had a crush on. But I thought it was a great show. I watched the DVD a few times, made my parents watch it with me, etc. My dad loved it too. We planned on watching the second episode when it aired, but I forgot, and that basically led to us not intending to watch the show again. Then I heard Sarah Clarke was supposed to guest-star on it, and I knew I had to watch that episode. I did, and I loved it even more than the pilot. But I assumed it was because of Sarah, so after that I still didn't watch it when it aired. I'd rewatch that episode occasionally because it rocked, but that was it.
A few months later, I started to have a life on LJ, and some of the people I eventually added to my flist were at least somewhat involved in House as a fandom. I still didn't bother to watch it. I acknowledged it and thought it was pretty good, but I never considered it my type of show. In the middle of season 2, I watched an episode. I don't know if it came on after something else I was watching or if I was just bored and willing to try it again, but I watched it, and it was Sela Ward's last episode. I had heard about Stacy through episode recaps on my flist so I vaguely knew who she was, but I was pretty skeptical because the whole universe of the show had seemed to change since I last saw it. I didn't dislike her; I think I'd gotten the idea that other people did, but I didn't really care either way. I was mostly just amazed that House was capable of getting laid, and I believe I expressed that in a post at the time. But there was mostly just a weird quality to the relationship, and the set was so much brighter than I remembered it being the last two times I watched the show, and it was just like...whoa. I did watch an episode a few weeks later, and it was good too.
So I actually started to be aware of how season 2 worked later this summer. When I realized they were showing reruns on USA I started watching them, and I started to understand more. I also got season 1 from the library, which was awesome. And now even more recently, my feelings towards House/Stacy have gone from "Dude, House got laid. Set up a press conference" to actually really liking them as a ship. I think since the S2 reruns I've favored them a little as a couple, but it wasn't until recently that I loved them. I don't know what it is. I think as a show its approach on love is really interesting and sort of abstract, and House/Stacy is where I really begin to understand it. She's in love with two guys, and the one she loves more is the one it's less perfect with. It's complicated, because she gets so caught up in what she wants and there's no way to know how long it'll last.
So...yeah, I heart them. Internet back.
I should not be up right now; I have so much shit to do tomorrow.
And it is so fucked how that guy died. wtf. His accent amused me. Damn it.
