Which Spuffy fanfiction cliche are you?

And really, people, how HOT is this pic of Spike? Love the messy hair, and I'm all for the "mystical connections"... ITS ALL ABOUT THE SOULMATES, BABY!

Well, I sat down on this bench to eat lunch outside today, and this guy just sits down next to me and starts talking. Then he's asking me questions, like what I like to do and stuff, do I have a boyfriend, what classes I have. I clue in about halfway into the conversation that he's hitting on me. Or, at least trying to make friends.

Yep, I'm slow on the uptake-- never got much attention from boys in H.S., and the only times I did were at somewhere not-school. But this guy said twice that I sound/look like I'd be an interesting person to know. I gave him my phone number. I'm definitely not gonna date him, because he smokes and I hate that, and he's a high school drop out (which says 'loser' in my mind, but he sounds he's trying-- he's enrolling he says, and he has a job), and he reads the bible everyday (he says that's the only thing he reads)...anyway NOT my type at all. But I don't mind hanging out with him, being friends. I so need to get out more anyway.

Maybe he has cute non-smoking friends.

Drew

Just called by weird lunch guy. Now known as Drew.

He wants to hang out sometime, but I dunno... we didn't have much to talk about on the phone.

It's confirmed though... prospect-wise, he's a loser. He is 19, has no job, has a car but its being used by his mom cause he drove hers OFF THE ROAD and down a small CLIFF. And he said he was at the de anza campus to enroll, but he didn't.

Anyway, he talks weird. And I found I get tense talking to him. You how some guys (or people), you instantly get along with, and others you feel you have to struggle for conversation topics, and do a lot of "uh...well...yeah..."

He's one of the latter, for me. He's friendly and amusing, but I don't kow how to behave around him. And when I was joking over teh phone he took me seriously, and kept thinking I was mad at him or something, because I replied back quickly. I can't help it! I talk sharp-- I like to argue, even in the vaguest way, and I often find things people take seriously to be funny. He thought I was mad or something. I'm like: "Wha? Mad? Why do you think I'm mad at you?" (I was tempted to add but didn't: 'I don't even KNOW you well enough to waste time being mad at you.') He said I jumped on him (verbally). Im like... "Uh... well.." I'm a snappy-comeback kinda girl, and if you don't liek that, we won't be cool. And when we were talking (while I had sat out to eat lunch) earlier, he said I'd walked off like I was mad. This confused me, because I remember saying (and NICELY!) that it was nice meeting him but I had to go and finish a homework assignment. What, did he think I made that up or something cause I was mad? Why would I? I mean, HELLO! am AT school... where people do things like assignments.

Anyway, I'll try hanging with him a few times... see what he's like. But so far I'm not terirbly interested in him, even as a friend. He hasn't done anythign to impress me much... and his jokes are lame... not even actual jokes, but the kind where he says something like, 'Yeah, I was just fuckin' around doin' nothin'... then laughs like it was a joke. Leaves me kinda lost as to which part was supposed to be funny.

And I'm not being uppity about this. There are lots of people that I find interesting. There's too guys in my stat class who I know equally as little about, and for all I know are just like him... but they interest me when I tak to them.

I dunno... if I'm gonna be friends wiht someone I have to LIKE them. This Drew guy... I don't like him or dislike him, I just couldn't care less, at the moment.

And I think I scared the poor thing off with my opinionated responses. That's ok though... the people I keep around me either arent' scared by my opinions and talk back in kind.. or like my dear lovely friend Katy, giggle at me and totally let it blow over their heads wihtout bothering to argue.

heeheeehee!!!!

New Lj-icon!!!

I finally found the song that was played on the last season finale of The West Wing--the version by Jeff Buckley.

I couldn't resist adding my favorite 2 lines to the achingly sad piccy of Spike (screencap brought to yours truly by _wisteria). I thought they seemed apporpriate for Spike. The whole song does, really.

I near cried when I heard this on the WW ep... it was played in the aftermath of when the achingly charming Secret Service agent was killed.

I bolded the Spike-ish parts.


"Hallelujah"
written by Leonard Cohen

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

::Ahem::

...just to clarify, in my previous post, I'm not sayin' Spike's about to find religion again or something (though William probably was a "good lil christian")... I just think it's a pretty song.

And so SAAADDDD!
