it's really too bad i can never think of interesting things to post!
I don't suppose anyone would like to help me brainstorm ideas for what to name my new (warranty replacement) iPod???? I SUCK AT THIS, I ended up haaaaaaating my last iPod name (Lefou, to go with Gaston the laptop) AND YOU GUYS... DON'T SUCK AT THIS?
P.S. I am kind of upset about the del.icio.us redesign, but not nearly as upset as I am about the fact that it is no longer del.icio.us, BUT INSTEAD delicious.com. I... WHAT. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? I'M SO NOT OKAY WITH IT. Not on, del.icio.us people. NOT. ON.

Picking which Scully icon to use next: ALSO A DIFFICULT DECISION.

I think I may very possibly be running out of icons. THIS IS NOT OKAY.
Right now I'm reading David/Gillian fic and watching MSR youtube fanvids and their adorable interviews. It's quite sad how much joy this brings me, but this is how I roll right now.

I KNOW. I have a strange love for her freckles. AND YOUR ICON RIGHT NOW IS MY DEFAULT. I do believe it is my favourite icon ever ever ever.
That's actually exactly what I'm doing! That's quite scary. HOW DID YOU KNOW?! :D
UM OMG - you must spam me with your favourite youtube fanvids! If you have any! Because there are many on youtube that are really hard to find. (I can't explain it, but there's some you just find out of nowhere and you're like ... I've never seen this, and it's good!) The crap ones are there in abundance, and although I love them too, good ones make me happy.
Btw, I am so happy that you're online! Long comment threads are so rare for me in this timezone.

I'm psychic? How far back are you? There are two stories you should avoid.
OKAY BUT UM -- do you want vids that are actually good or ones that are kind of silly but I love them anyway (or ones that are kind of crap but entertain me)? I... actually can't think of that many that I genuinely love. MAYBE I CAN. I'll have to go through my faves.
I'm glad too, I LOVE COMMENT THREADS. Although uck, you poor Australians :(!

I'm near your post where you had that article that said David and Gillian "dated around the Golden Globes 1997 and probably during the/after the shoting of the X-Files pilot." Which was the 10th of January. I read a few articles that saddened me, but mostly they make me happy. :D
ANY/ALL. All three of those categories make me happy. I have many in all of them. (I CANNOT HELP MY LOVE FOR CRAP VIDS MADE TO SEXYBACK).
I love them too, but I'm not kidding, I have probably had 5, if not less, in my 5 years on LJ. And they were with other Perth-ians. :D

My two favorite vidders are on imeem, not youtube? I GUESS I'LL GIVE THEM TO YOU LATER, seeing as I'm on youtube and non imeem right now?
I love this one unironically (it's actually the only fanvid that inspired me to ~put a song on my fanmix~, HA):
My favorite line is "we eat chinese off our knees/and look for each other in the TV screens" but you can't quite represent that in a fanvid? BUT CAN'T YOU JUST SEE THEM, STARING AT EACH OTHER'S REFLECTIONS WHILE THEY EAT DINNER IN THE MOTEL ROOM OF THE WEEK? I think about this too much?
WHAT. WHAT. THAT IS TRAGIC :(
no subject
Awesome, I look forward to that.
The video is loading. At the speed of slow. My computer is having some issues today. BUT THIS SONG. I know it from your fanmix, and that was also my favourite line, because YOU CAN SO IMAGINE THEM DOING THAT. This song makes me laugh, actually. I love the bit where it's like "We should be more adventurous with our meeeeeals". Actually, I have to say, apart from your fanmix being one of the things that made me want to watch the show, because I wanted to know who these wonderful songs and lyrics were referring to, this one was one of the major drawcards. The part "All I do/ I want to do with you" just ... affected me. I thought it was really sweet. And I think it's so appropriate for them now I've seen the show more too. I DON'T THINK I'VE EXPRESSED TO YOU ENOUGH THE COMPLETE EPIC AWESOMENESS OF YOUR FANMIX. It's just perfect in every way. It's basically all I listen to now, because I'm so deep in the obsession. (I've clearly got serious problems! I think about this too much, too!)
The video is only a quarter loaded, so I can't tell you what I thought about it yet. I want to post one for you, too, but I couldn't decide which category, either. Adorable MSR? Angsty and dark? Hilariously bad or just hilarious? But I figure, hilariously bad ones are the safest bet because they're funny FOR their badness. It's mainly the songs they manage to pair up with X-Files that I find funny, and that's totally the best thing about this.
I will let you know what I think of your rec in my next comment. And um ... I talk WAY too much.
no subject
AND THAT LINE "all I do/I want to do with you" IS SO RIGHT FOR THEM, ISN'T IT????? I can't really think of any other pair that would apply to as completely as it does them? They really reach this point where they literally DO EVERYTHING TOGETHER. And they're not sick of it (I mean, sometimes they are? But I love that they get snitty and tired of each other), ANYWAY WHATEV. I'm so glad that fanmix I put together affected you in that way???? I'm still a little unsure about it -- there are some songs I always wonder if they WORK for everyone else the same way they work for me? And two are three are pretty episode-specific and I wonder if they even make sense? I DON'T KNOW. I'm SO GLAD you like it.
ALSO LOLOLOL I LITERALLY JUST SAW THAT VIDEO (I was looking at the ~humor contest~) ABOUT AN HOUR AGO???? PERFECT CHOICE. I secretly am really fond of that stupid Avril Lavigne song? It's on my running playlist, hahahahahaha. AND IT MAKES SUCH GOOD HILARIOUSLY BAD FANVIDS.
Talking too much is the new black.
no subject
IT IS PERFECT. And it doesn't apply to anyone else because no-one else is together as much as them in any show I can think of. They spend every single day together and end up in the same motels at night and OMG EVERY MOMENT. I love it when they can hear what the other is doing through the walls :D. But I have a TOTAL LOVE for them when they get sick of each other and fight and stuff. Because they're so cranky and adorable and sexy.
I REALLY REALLY LOVE THE FANMIX. Srsly, if your choice of MUSIC can make someone want to watch the show, then that is a major success!! I know what you mean about the episode specific ones, but they work! Trust me! I have so so so many lyrics that I associate with them now from that fanmix. LIKE OMG "I guess I can't replace/the poetry from off your face/it speaks to me like I'm the only one". THAT IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITES. Along with all of them, but y'know.
I FOUND THAT VIDEO THROUGH THAT HUMOUR CONTEST TOO, LOLL. I'm kind of fond that song too, and seeing it applied to X-Files makes me happy. Idk. It's like sexyback for the good/bad fanvids.
Anyway I might be awhile replying to the next comment because I have been bugging my Mum all day to watch "Ice" with me and her dumb program is finally finished so I'm going to go watch it. But I'll come back and let you know about the vid! (Which is still loading, WTF).

Uh, word, pretty much?
I KNOW, IT IS A SUCESS AND IT MEANS A LOT? And ahhhhhh, I've had that song for them forever? There are a couple of songs on the fanmix that come from the old playlist I had for them when I was fifteen, and that was one of them. It's so... EARLY THEM. Like, they're already in this place but they're also NOT. I DON'T KNOW.
Yeah, there are seriously not enough XF fanvids to Justin Timberlake songs. Once I wanted one to What Goes Around Comes Around and NO GO. SLIM PICKINS. However, there are about 48394082394023 to Bleeding Love and Celine Dion alone? I... don't get this fandom?
Oh, have fun! I was about to go for a midnight run anyway. BECAUSE I AM CRAZY.
no subject
It is such a perfect song for them, omfg. Apart from the fact that I love the song, them and it are basically intertwined in my mind now. Well, as are all the songs.
"If I said the way he looks at me/Doesn’t make me want to undress/If I said I could leave you now/And go where I could forget/I’d be lying"
HOW DID YOU FIND THESE. God, idk, but it's like you reached into the heart of what is Mulder and Scully and found these songs. They are SO PERFECT.
"What Goes Around Comes Around" would have been AWESOME. I remember I saw on to "She Wants to Move" by N.E.R.D and that was TOTALLY awesome, I loved it :D I can't stand "Bleeding Love" anyway, so I don't think I could watch that. Have you seen the one to "Bubbly"? I kind of hate that song too, but most people don't seem to. Anyways, the video is cute.
"Ice" is SO AWESOME. What an amazing episode. I mean, I knew that, but OMG. Then I watched "Space", which I hadn't seen before. After "Ice", well, not much can possibly measure up to that. There's so many scenes in "Ice" which are so incredible, apart from the paranoia that grows through the episode. Mulder and Scully fighting and the others listening to them! Pulling guns on each other! "I want to trust you!" Examining each others necks in such a hot way, considering the circumstances!!!
And, uh, the video is still not done. I think there's something wrong with my computer, wtf. It was still at the exact same point. I've refreshed them so they will now hopefully load.
AND UM, MIDNIGHT RUN? Wow.

Here's that really, really fluffy but still so cute "Bubbly" vid.
I couldn't find the other two I liked on youtube, I dled them from LJ, but I have links somewhere.

Was it this version (http://www.imeem.com/astarte/video/dxovwVA-/astarte_xf_move/) of "She Wants to Move"? The one on youtube doesn't quite compare, but then, I don't think anything could quite compare to Astarte's vids.
LOL "Space". Oh man. That's a bad one. "Ice" really is incredible, though.
I R INSANE?
no subject
Yes, it was that vid! I absolutely love it! The youtube one is nowhere near as good. I watch it all the time. Also, link me to vids on imeem whenever you want, btw. I'll watch anything, anytime. :D
Yeah, "Space" was not good. At all. I'm almost finished S1 (only two more eps! I'm happy, but I'm never going to get a first watch again, you know?) but anyway, that was one of the worst. Along with "Shapes" because I couldn't understand how they weren't ... getting it. I thought it was so obvious and thought they'd worked out the whole werewolf-thing-does-clearly-get-passed-on-through-attacks but apparantly not? I really haven't found any episodes that I didn't enjoy though, which is good :D There's always good elements. Mulder and Scully usually add good moments to a poor storyline anyway. (But there aren't that many? Idk). I totally laughed at this one description of "Ghost in the Machine", though - 'Mulder's former partner is killed by a building.' I laughed so hard, even though it's true, I guess! But "Ice", man ... just genius.
I THINK YOU MUST BE.
Um, when I'm overtired, I ramble. 5 hours sleep a night is like death to me. So I basically couldn't shut up. Sorry about that.
