one more miracle

So, as they sometimes do, an awesome music video idea popped into my head this morning!

Get this - a Buffy the Vampire Slayer video set to MCR's Vampires Can Never Hurt You.

I know, brilliant right? *giggles* It's just absurd enough to work, and me being me I of course took it to the Faith place. The whole vampire thing of the song could be a grand metaphor for Faith getting all fucked up and dark inside and begging everyone (Buffy, Angel) to put her out of her misery, to extinguish the darkness. That's obviously in the tradition of the show itself, which takes all these evil things and makes them metaphors for every possible human crisis/situation/dilemma. So it would be like the metaphor of a metaphor! Or something. I don't know, I just know it would be awesome.

Musically, the video would be SO MUCH FUN to vid. It's got some really unique and catchy rhythmic bits, and these driving riffs that would be extremely exciting to vid fighting/dancing to (since Faith does so much of both). Also, it's not very repetitive (as our boys hadn't quite gotten down the notion of song structure, hee) and kind of rambles all over the place, so there's a bunch of fun different kinds of parts to work with.

There's a lot of lines that would just be so fun to play with. My favorite part is this verse:

And now the nightclub sets the stage for this they come in pairs she said
We'll shoot back holy water like cheap whiskey they're always there
Someone get me to the doctor, and someone call the nurse
And someone buy me roses, and someone burned the church
We're hanging out with corpses, and driving in this hearse
And someone save my soul tonight, please save my soul

Hanging out with corpses! Spike and Angel! Faith in nightclubs! Faith in a coma! Faith-in-Buffy beating up her own body in the church! OH IT WOULD BE SO AMAZING.

I wish this video could appear full formed from my brain! SIGH.

Can you stake my heart? Can you stake my heart?
(And these thoughts of endless night
bring us back into the light
and this venom from my heart)

Completely unrelated, I found out my friend Judy, another American student in Chemistry here at Trinity, HAS A 1965 MUSTANG. RED WITH BLACK INTERIOR. EIGHT CYLINDER. OH GOD I WANT. It only cost her $5k and $3k to fix it up, and it's LOUD and incredibly powerful and oh god I think I would embarass myself were I to ever get in that car. Nnnnnnnngh so jealoussssss.

So this has been an entry in which my rather unique obsessions come out in the form of flailing and flailing some more and everyone just shakes their head and goes "Oh Anne" and moves on without saying anything! *laughs* You love me anyway. ♥

So I've finally picked up Angel again - I'd stalled early in season 4 a couple months ago, when I got into Farscape and Atlantis and what have you. But I finally watched the next episode and now I've been plowing through steadily, cause it's so damn good.

I just watched the S4 ep where Wesley gets Faith out of jail. She... she just DOES things to me. I care about the characters on this show, I do, and I'm engaged in pretty much all the plotlines. But Faith's on for one episode and already she's got me crying. First she has me flailing and making small muffled noises of joy and want. Then she has me going "nnnngh" with the whole take charge bit. And then she's all broked and I want to cuddle her and make her better and so I cry. And um. I'm in love with Faith Lehane. The end.

*smitten sigh*

I finished Buffy season 3 with Meg tonight.

( Spoilers, I guess? Though if you haven't seen this show, YOU FAIL. Get on top of that. )

Can you tell I want Joss to have all my babies?

ETA: LOOK AT THE ICON CASSI MADE ME! NO JUST LOOK! *swoons* SO PRETTY. Thank you Cassibean! *huggles endlessly*

So Meg and I have gotten through the first 8 episodes of Buffy season 3 (that's up through Lover's Walk).

Firstly, and MOST important - David Boreanaz has the hottest Latin voice EVER. No, really. He blows Jared and Jeffrey out of the water. Sorry boys, but it's true.

You know, I love this season. I love it a LOT. Every single time we start a new episode I go "ooh, this is a good one!" because they're ALL good. And the reason for that is I love the cast of this season. It has all my favorite recurring characters - Faith, Angel and Oz. Plus the best villain, the Mayor. It's the best composition, in my opinion, that the show has at any point during its run. I love ALL the characters that are around (as opposed to when, say, Riley or the Potentials are hangin around) and so it doesn't matter who the episode focuses on - I'm guaranteed to love it. Eeee, I am so giddy with love for this show.

( Thoughts on Buffy/Faith )

All this Buffy watching is making me want to upload some more Faith icons. Hmmmm. I certainly have plenty of them (a whole folder! hee)
