even if it leads nowhere
Jul. 16th, 2008 09:30 pmIf there are one or more people on your friends list who make your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the Internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.
um hi. pretty much all of you. :)
still the emo-est girl in all the land, but feeling a little better. still desperately want to run away from life, but am keeping it together. mostly. there was a moment when I had to duck into M's office earlier because I didn't want to cry in the god damn hallway where the fucktards I work with could see me. ugh.
so randomly I've been thinking about the cook/archuleta pairing and why I can only stomach it sometimes and other times it skeeves me the fuck out. for a while I was all 'ewwwww he's only 17 it's icky' which okay, valid I suppose. but then I flashed on what is arguably one of my favorite pairings in popslash... timbertrick. and euro-era timbertrick at that. so what's different? the age difference is about the same. cook and kirkpatrick have the same snarky, been there-done that, this isn't how i thought i'd make it but oh well let's ride the ride vibe to them. so the difference is archuleta and timberlake. archuleta is only 17. timberlake was never that young. timberlake was never a kid. archuleta has somehow managed to grow up on the stage (much like timberlake) and yet somehow managed to retain a real innocence about him. timberlake cloaked himself in a parody of innocence. that was his persona for the first part of his career. archuleta isn't putting on an act of innocence. he just is. so yeah. I'm not sure why I felt the need to get that out.
I have too many thoughts.
