Where The Wild Things Are

Stealing a meme from abvj because I need a good meme:

Ask me about a pairing and/or character I have written (or haven't and you think I should write) and I will give you five facts about them. OR a ficlet or a song that is CLEARLY THEIR SONG or what they order from the Chinese place down the street or what they do on a lazy Saturday night, etc etc.

Bonnie! Or Bonnie/Jeremy. Or Jeremy. You choose.

[leobrat]

When it comes to Chinese, Jeremy and Bonnie are both totally all about the appetizers - beef teriyaki, scallion pancakes, peking ravioli.

Bonnie's song to Jeremy is the Ellie Goulding version of Your Song. Jeremy's song to Bonnie is Endlessly by Green River Ordinance.

5 Things About Bonnie Bennett
~She noticed Jeremy even way back when, even in the Vicki Donovan days. There was way too much going on for her to *think* about it, but she noticed.
~Caroline taught her how to put on eyeliner.
~The first time she made something move with her mind, she was five years old. She was afraid to tell anyone about it though.
~She enjoys verbally sparring with Damon. But shhh, that's a secret.

Endlessly is the perfect song for a hopelessly besotted boy. It really is.

*nods* I need new episodes!

John/Taylor, because I'm pathetic and a glutton for punishment.

[leobrat]

I have a thousand John/Taylor songs, don't you know that!?!

I believe I've recently read that John is a vegetarian, so I'm going to go with they don't order Chinese, they order sushi. And I imagine on lazy Saturday nights they do little else but have sex and play music in bed together. :D

A song that I truly dream of John covering is Song For You, this version by Michael Buble. From Taylor, I would love to hear her sing a song like You're My Best Friend to him. Like a happy, fun song like that would make him smile, I think. And I would love to hear a rendition of Hallelujah by both of them as a duet, with only him playing the guitar.

5 Things [I PERCEIVE TO BE TRUE] About John
*like that little disclaimer there? ;)~Nobody in the world can fight with him like Taylor. She just doesn't know enough to take a breath, walk away until you're calm enough to not be spouting outrageous ultimatums and things you can't take back. (But then again, he was supposed to be the grown up

Thanks so much for this!!! Yes, I kinda figured you would have at least that many songs for them! Or at least, I should have! I agree about the lazy Saturday nights, though I tend to believe that it'd be more like lazy Sunday mornings and/or afternoons for them. I looked up "Song for You" and wow, that's totally their song, or at least his song for her. I'd love it for him to do just on guitar, or piano, nothing and no one else behind him.

She just doesn't know enough to take a breath, walk away until you're calm enough to not be spouting outrageous ultimatums and things you can't take back. Oh, how my heart breaks for him here, because I can almost perfectly imagine something like this happening near the end. Then, countering it with this: He did say 'I love you' first. And he meant it (means it?) He still hasn't learned to take a breath before he speaks either. It only breaks my heart for him more.

He keeps watching her on TMZ, on youtube and she looks like a fucking supermodel. I totally agree with this, because I've always

I think that's what they would do if they ever have some 'time off', which is rare for both of them. What do you think they would do?

There are a thousand versions of Song For You, and I would love to hear his solo on guitar for that (most people do it as a piano cover).

I'm really kind of stuck in this idea of angry, bitter John lately, rather than tortured, regretful John.

I'm going to be in Europe in May too! I'm also trying to get in shape for the trip. I'm currently working out like 6 days a week. I know, I'm crazy, but I can't help it. I'm being lazy and not going tonight, though. I'll be making up for it by working out on Saturday. Do you like to cook? I've been gathering a lot of recipes and cooking lately, trying to keep from eating too much unhealthy food. I can give you a few recipes if you'd like.

[leobrat]

Look at you! That's right, you're gearing up for Paris!

Oh, I love to cook. And I love 'real', good food and stuff, that's not the problem. It's getting my ass off the couch. I need to motivate to MOTOR.

[distant_lines]

Well, the exercise classes have really helped me. Even when my hair is soaked because I've sweat so much, and my muscles are killing me, being surrounded by 30 (mostly) women, while really great music is playing, makes me push myself harder. They say it takes 30 days to form a habit, so if you can just force yourself to stick with it for that long, it should just become second nature...hopefully. I'm never gonna be a girl that runs on the treadmill, nor will I ever enjoy it, but I do love the exercise classes.

I'm from the South, so I love all kinds of foods I shouldn't. I love healthy food; I'm a vegetable whore, but I love Southern food more than anything...and Cracker Barrel so does not count...lol.

[leobrat]

Oh, I do not mean to make it sound like I'm a vegan or anything. I'm Italian, so...yeah. Definitely not afraid of carbs.

Yeah, I was *super* in shape and into working out two years ago, and then it just all...fell out, I guess. I was looking at pictures of myself from 2008- so depressing. Yoga was my thing. And I was going twice a day, and loving it, but I don't think I'd like Zumba, or dance classes. I'm way uncoordinated, and I think I'd get frustrated more than anything.

When they're little, Sev goes to Lily's house on Saturday nights and they watch Disney on television. They take the fortune cookies from her parents Chinese carry-out.

It's kind of a cliched song, but I definitely see Gary Jules' Mad World for them.

Hmmm....

I don't know if I can come up with five distinct things for Sev and Lily. It's been a while since I got thinky on them.

Julie Taylor.

Also, I do too. I need like a support group or something to motivate me into doing it. We're going on a cruise to the Bahamas in June. I do not want to look fat in a bathing suit. I constantly tell myself this. Then I still eat too much junk lol

[leobrat]

Just look at Candice and Nina and let them psych you up. (You be Candice. I'll be Nina.)

JULIE! Can polish off two orders of scallion pancakes *drenched* in soy sauce without stopping. When she's at home on Saturdays, she's usually baby-sitting, so she paints Gracie's nails and teaches her her old tap routines and they watch the 2005 Pride & Prejudice.

Her song, to me, has always been Rangers by A Fine Frenzy.

5 Things About Julie Taylor
~She loves doing her hair. Curling it, braiding it, updos. Her mom taught her and she teaches her little sister.
~It's actually hard for her to make girlfriends.
~She stopped eating meat when she was eleven. Her mom finally gave up.
~The first trip she takes outside of the country is Paris (You'll see why! And no, I'm not spoiling anything!)
~Julie has a LiveJournal, and she looks forward to Yuletide every year :)

Meep! When you come back here, don't read the comments below yours, they're kinda spoilery (but not much).
