It'd be so easy to lose myself to you

exsequarI am sick. *sadface* It's just a normal viral headcold, but it manifested in a really bizarre way. Last night I woke up at 4 AM and blurrily realized that my eyes hurt so much that I pretty much couldn't open them, but having them closed felt like they were on fire. It was... unpleasant. I stumbled through my apartment, squinting and getting some water and basically completely overwhelmed by OW OW OW OW. I tried to look online for something to help me but I essentially could not look at the screen for more than a second, so I woke up my poor Michelle, scaring the crap out of her. Sorry love :( She helped me by reading some stuff on conjunctivitis. I put warm compresses on my eyes, which turned out to be exactly the recommended treatment, and it helped a little, but I was still in so much pain. She looked at my eyes briefly and said they were SCARLET. Meep. I dictated two emails to her to my professors that I had class with in the morning. I still couldn't go to sleep though so I had her turn on the Buffy episode Tabula Rasa for me to listen to. It's a weird experience to listen to TV, and I was kind of half delirious, but it was pretty funny too.
When I woke up this morning, my eyes felt better but still pretty scratchy. I gave myself an extra hour of sleep and skipped my Cinema class (sorry Prof Moss :( ) but forced myself out of bed for Analytical Chem lecture and lab. I went to our health center and the doctor said I have a viral infection that likes to migrate to the eyes and that I was the fourth person to come in with that complaint. Awesome. This probably means my roommates will get it. Oops :( I had an awful sinus headache all through lab, then I got home and collapsed into bed and slept for three hours.
So that was my day!
Now it's 1:30 and I'm pretty damn perky, though getting a little sleepier. I took some decongestants, advil, and visine, and I feel quite a lot better. No headache right now, yay! Me and the roomies watched more WEST WING, which we refer to as "crack" because it's so fucking addicting (Michelle comes out of her room for a break from paper writing and says to me, "Crack?" And says I, "Josh!" and so we sit down and watch another episode. Or two.) and I would like to flail some. We have finished season 1 and watched the first 3 episodes of season 2, so behind the cut thar be spoilers! DON'T read if you plan on watching the show some time.
*flails* Where do I BEGIN? I love everyone! Everyone is awesome! The show emotionally punches me in the gut sometimes, and other times makes my stomach hurt from laughter. Apparently it just causes STOMACH PAINS, but really I'm okay with that :D Every storyline is fabulous in its own way, and there's so much SUBTLETY and power and oh it is glorious. I loved when, right at the end of S1, they made that decision to say "Fuck, we are sick of sitting on our asses and we are going to try to CHANGE SOMETHING." I got all misty and inspired, not gonna lie. It's such a surreal time to be watching this show - on the one hand, I have this desperate hope that Obama could bring something like this to the White House, but on the other, there's the creeping despair that he won't be able to do it and that such things only happen in fiction.
ANYWAY. Onto what I really want to talk about - JOSH LYMAN. *flaps hands* I love him SO MUCH, you guys. I have taken to squeaking "Josh!" from time to time. Often for no apparent reason. I just love him, and his presence on screen makes me happy in my heart. EXCEPT WHEN HE'S GETTING SHOT IN THE STOMACH OH GOD. When they revealed him holding his hand over the gushing wound it felt like someone had ripped my heart straight from my chest. JOSHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I'm getting all verklempt just thinking about it. NOT MY BABY. His woozy, faint rambling on the gurney, Sam shouting "I'M HERE, JOSH", and fighting to get to his side... ack!! I knew he was going to survive, obviously (he's JOSH!) but it still hurt to watch. A lot. The flashbacks, however, were GLORIOUS. I loved seeing all the pre-existing relationships that form the basis of Bartlet's team. Is anyone surprised Sam and Josh were old friends? Anyone? Or should I say, 'friends,' because Josh's reaction of "...okay" to Sam's news that he's getting married smacked of nothing more than an ex informing his ex that he's... well, getting married. OH SAM/JOSH COME TO ME :D But more than that moment of "aha! now I can go read fic!", their relationship was so glorious. Josh forgetting the name of the fuckwit lawfirm Sam was working for, running in all soaked and interrupting a meeting and just pointing at his own smile, Sam's answering sunshine smile, and and then they frolick off into the sunset together! *flails more* I adooooore them.
(This is where you start reccing fic :D)
Augh, I love everyone. CJ is such a compassionate, brilliant, determined, kind person and I want her to be my mom. Toby's so stoic and cynical in the face of idiots, but also so very very idealistic. He also reminds me of my dad frequently, mostly because of the balding and the black beard. Sam is such a GOOF, but also so passionate and brilliant (okay, that word applies to all of them) and.. okay, well mostly he's a ridiculous wonderful DORK and I want to ruffle his hair. Leo is... wow, what a guy, you know? He holds this circus show together with such aplomb, but at the same time he's also so marvelously human. I love when he smiles - it's so surprising and boyish. The president is... fascinating, really, and I'm not sure I have a great handle on him as a person yet. He's got a great moral compass, but sometimes he veers off course, only to be returned by the brilliance of his staff. I suppose that's the idea? But he's definitely a man of conviction and heart and he's really something else. Mrs. Laningham is so so so fabulous, Charlie makes me want to hug him lots, Zoe is snarky and precious, Donna is adorable and lovely, Margaret is ridiculous and hilarious, and and and. OH YEAH. JOSH. Saving the best for last :D Josh is... hm. Josh is deeply, fiercely loyal, and has such a fundamentally good heart. He cares with all of his being. He's also adorkably goofbally (one of my favorite moments was when he sat down where there WAS NO CHAIR OMG) and has this gloriously infectious enthusiasm and devil-may-care attitude. I think I actually cheered when he told that asshole senator to stick his policies up his ass. &JOSH; &JOSH; &JOSH;
I LOVE THIS SHOW :D Brb gonna go watch Josh and Sam be boyfriends some more <3
Now I need icons! Or at least one, of JOSH. <33333

Date: 2008-09-13 12:34 pm (UTC)Um. I have this thing, where I would totally bang Toby through the floor? Despite his paunch, baldness and, you know, generally sour disposition. I love him.
Let's be honest though? I would bang most of the cast through the floor.
The WEST WING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG. I don't think I can adequate express my love for this show.
JOSH LYMAN!

Date: 2008-09-13 01:25 pm (UTC)That show! I watched it from when it first started airing and that first season finale? HOLY CRAP ON A HOCKEY STICK. I was flaily and worried all summer about him. Honestly, that one was worse that the SPN first season finale. But season two? Oh how I love me some season two. And the beginning half of season three. Especially the 9/11 episode. That one still makes me cry.
Also? CHARLIE! I love Josh and Sam, but I will forever have a deep, deep love for Charlie. *bounces*
PS. *HUGS* Feel better, darling.
