You Say It's Your Birthday...

I normally suck when it comes to remembering and wishing people a happy birthday (waves sheepishly to _green_) but I can remember sockkpuppett's for her birthday is also * the day Spike left for Africa, Warren shot Tara, Willow went red with evil and Warren was flayed alive. I'm just glad Giles didn't die.

Sigh. Good times. If I could I would say that Spike tried to rape Buffy on Lum's birthday, but I think that probably occurred before midnight with Warren's flaying occurring the next day around 11pm. BUT - I am certain that if Lum wanted to claim the attempted rape as occurring on her birthday, she could - since BtVS is set in California - when the AR occurred in real-time it was already her birthday on the East Coast.

Since it is your birthday - come talk about season 6 in the land of denial, I mean, TBQs LJ:

Donnie Darko Vid...

I am watching Donnie Darko tonight. I think it is time and really, if I can handle the next 2 weeks, then I can handle a movie.

Why the urgency? heres_luck has finished (and I am proud that I did not say finally, for I am working on patience) her Donnie Darko vid.

And how great is her song? ::shivers::

Go here for the vidness and let her know you are watching:

For Once In Your Life

So I am sitting at my desk and today I am not working ahead - I am only working enough to stay afloat. Hence my manager's (who isn't really my boss anymore - it is complicated) recent comments to me about how I am not working to expectations. I am - see that is the problem - he just *expects* more of me.

I wish I knew what it was that I was doing that was inspiring this feeling. I'd quit doing it cause, no really, I am quite content to coast. Coasting is great and allows me to keep up with my friendslist.

Like right now I am listening to The Jealous Sound's "For Once In Your Life" on repeat (off of one of the most recent heres_luck mixes "Contact High! the sugar finger mix") and I have totally decided it is about Wes. Of course, yesterday I decided that Richard Ashcroft's "Buy It in Bottles" was all about Wes (both songs are Angel POV, btw) and I got so moved I pulled over and cried. Geez. But WES!!! My poor Wes. He is so messed up.


And then I see my ats_endofdays assignment: "Sleep Tight" and...

Omigod.

::cries::

I'm gonna write an essay. And make a vid. And write an essay about the vid and, and... I could do icons too and maybe a fic, except I have sucky Wes voice, but maybe someone else's voice and, and...

Did you find something deeper, something profound
It's hard to make sense, kids sprawled on the ground
Is your new god in front of you (is your new god in front of you)
Is your new god in front of you (is your new god in front of you)
Is your new god in front of you (is your new god in front of you)
Are you dead, reborn?
Did you find something deeper, something profound
The suns coming up as we're going down

My Show.

And This Is My Four Leaf Clover

So I thought about it. And yeah, I'm depressed - but I think that is just me. Like, that is just an integral part of my personality. And I'm doing better - or well - or whatever it is you say. And I finished Paradise and that has to count for something with the dealing with things status.

And I've been putting off seeing "Donnie Darko" just cause I thought it might upset me. But then I really want to see heres_luck's vid and understand it. And I thought about it. It is supposed to be dark, yet beautiful. Disturbing and intriguing. These are not things I have shyed away from in the past.

And it is fox1013's favorite movie. Amy likes "The Princess Bride" and Muppets and Madeline L'Engle and Faith and Lilah and Mary Cherry - all things that are good and pure in the world. Amy would not steer you wrong.

So I watched. And cried uncontrollably for an as yet unspecified time. But god. It was. And. With the. So Beautiful and god.
