Louise Glück, "Witchgrass" (also, this meme sucks.)
Today was the day to sign up for classes! And I planned to get up at 6am so I could get to the registrar as soon as it opened and sign up. Except, apparently, at 6am, I got up long enough to take my meds and then decided sleep was more important than getting into classes before they got all full up.
And then I woke up in a panic at 8am because I have a doctor's appointment this week and I was going to be late and oh god oh god oh god. Except. Today is not Friday. Good job, self. THEN I WENT BACK TO SLEEP AGAIN BECAUSE I AM DUMB.
Anyway, I eventually got to the registrar, freaking out because one class only had three seats left, and I didn't have the "Yes this person has taken the prereqs" form for one of the classes (I needed one for every single class because of the transfer credits fuckery). BUT! I only had to wait in line for an hour! And not only did I get into all the classes, the lady was willing to take the email the dean of the math department sent back in September as proof that I had taken the prereqs for that one class! WOOOOOOO.
Now I am just freaking out because I'm taking three CS courses, a math course, and a physics course, and internet that is a lot of work and I am really bad at school and oh god what if I fuck up again. D: D: D: D: D: D:
SO I AM GOING TO DO A FUN MEME SO I CAN NOT THINK ABOUT THAT.
-Write down twenty of your favorite pairings/threesomes/etc.
-Put your media player on shuffle. The number of the song corresponds to the number of the pairing.
-Quote a part of the song that you think has any similarity with the couple.
Internet, I am kind of really fucking happy that when I sit down and go "OKAY TWENTY OTPS, WITHOUT STOPPING TO THINK ABOUT IT, GO!" 7/20 are ladyslash, and only 1/20 is pure dudeslash (BECAUSE IDK WHAT TO COUNT BISEXUAL THREESOMES AS BECAUSE THE ONLY OPTIONS ARE "HET" AND "___SLASH" AND THEY ARE BOTH FUCK YOU AND YOUR BINARIES, FANDOM).

Something
comes into the world unwelcome
calling disorder, disorder—
If you hate me so much
don’t bother to give me
a name: do you need
one more slur
in your language, another
way to blame
one tribe for everything—
as we both know,
if you worship
one god, you only need
one enemy—
I’m not the enemy.
Only a ruse to ignore
what you see happening
right here in this bed,
a little paradigm
of failure. One of your precious flowers
dies here almost every day
and you can’t rest until
you attack the cause, meaning
whatever is left, whatever
happens to be sturdier
than your personal passion—
It was not meant
to last forever in the real world.
But why admit that, when you can go on
doing what you always do,
mourning and laying blame,
always the two together.
I don’t need your praise
to survive. I was here first,
before you were here, before
you ever planted a garden.
And I’ll be here when only the sun and moon
are left, and the sea, and the wide field.
I will constitute the field.
And then I woke up in a panic at 8am because I have a doctor's appointment this week and I was going to be late and oh god oh god oh god. Except. Today is not Friday. Good job, self. THEN I WENT BACK TO SLEEP AGAIN BECAUSE I AM DUMB.

- Aeryn/John (Farscape)
"The Brandy Tree (trad.)" by Adam Miller
I go down to the windy sea
And the little grey seal will play with me;
Slide on the rock and dive in the bay
And sleep on the ledge at night.
Yeah, this song is too happy for them. D: But this part kind of makes me think of Aeryn and John in that brief time period before John, you know, died. But I tend to remember Farscape as lolzy and fun, so I'm sure even that time period was awful and depressing and this song does not fit at all. - Parker/Hardison/Eliot (Leverage)
"Mandelbrot Set (Demo)" by Jonathan Coulton
And you're just in time to save the day
Sweeping all our fears away
You can change the world in a tiny way
Cause you're just in time to save the day
Sweeping all our fears away
You can change the world in a tiny way
Go on change the world in a tiny way
Come on change the world in a tiny way
Okay, internet, my music collection is really bad for this meme. D: And this does not remind me of them so much as it reminds me of Leverage, period, and I am GRASPING AT STRAWS HERE. - Bones/Booth/Sweets (Bones)
"Why Don't We Just Dance" by Josh Turner
Baby why don't we just turn that TV off?
Three hundred fifteen channels
Of nothing but bad news on
Well, it might be me, but the way I see it
The whole wide world has gone crazy
So baby, why don't we just dance?
LOOOOOOL INTERNET THIS IS PRETTY MUCH HOW I THINK SWEETS VIEWS THIS RELATIONSHIP. LIKE, YOU GUYS, JESUS WE DEAL WITH DEAD PEOPLE EVERY DAY CAN WE JUST DO SOMETHING FUN LIKE TAKE A POTTERY CLASS AND NOT TALK ABOUT DEAD PEOPLE FOR A WHILE. - Jessica/Luke/Danny (Marvel Comics)
"Dark Promises" by The Corsairs
It's harder than hell
And it doesn't pay well
But it's kept me ahead of the jailer.
Now I'm tattered and torn
My bootheels are worn.
Yeah, so, this actually works better for the OT4, and it is kind of hard not to cheat and switch songs. D: The problem is this is not exactly a happy song, but that is a lolzy, happy pairing. And I guess you could say this sort of reminds me of being a superhero? NOT REALLY THOUGH. I AM SO BAD AT THIS I DON'T LIKE THIS MEME ANYMORE. - Ben/Juliet (>Lost)
"Star Wars" by MooseButter
No one cares if you upset a droid
(nobody cares if you upset a droid)
REEEEEEEACHING BUT I guess because in the way I ship them is Juliet just being super mean to Ben because who gives a fuck it's just Ben and she hates him and he's just "*____*" at her. SO, YOU KNOW. - Desmond/Penny (Lost)
"No Moon" by Iron & Wine
Blue bird laughs on a fallen tree
Sunset burns on a quiet sea
Sold my soul and they ran me down
BECAUSE INTERNET THEY WERE HAPPY AND LOVELY AND WONDERFUL TOGETHER AND THEY HAD AN ADORABLE BABY AND NOW WIDMORE HAS DESMOND AND DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD: - Elizabeth/Peter/Neal (White Collar)
"Country Song (live with Dave Weingart at Concertino 2006)" by Seanan McGuire
Gold-diggin' is a fine tradition --
The courtship of the purse.
YOU KNOW, WHEN I THINK "EL AND PETER AND NEAL" I DO NOT ALSO THINK "SLITHER" but, uh, Neal... used to... charm people out of money? IDEK. I GOT NOTHIN'. - Jessica/Luke/Danny/Matt (FUCK YOU IT IS NOT CHEATING) (Marvel Comics)
"Cuddly Forces of Darkness (vocal scratch)" by Seanan McGuire
We know where you live and we never give up
Hey now I see that you’ve started crying
That’s really the spirit
You’ve got the idea
There’s no point in hiding and nowhere to run so
Admit that the cuddly forces of darkness have won!
OH ACTUALLY THIS WORKS PRETTY WELL BECAUSE LIKE. Matt is all Matt and stupid and WOE IS ME BLAH BLAH BLAH I DON'T DESERVE HAPPINESS BLAH BLAH BLAH. As Jessica and Luke and Danny are just relentlessly being like "Yeah, okay, but it's time to go home now so stop whining" and "Yes, that's nice, but welu, so stfu ♥" over and over and over again until he gets it. - Sam/Fi/Michael (Burn Notice)
"Bozo's Lament" by Jonathan Coulton
Pie in my face
Five days a workweek
It's in my face
Pie in my face
It sucks to be a clown
Because... their job sucks sometimes? IDK. - Annie/George/Mitchell (Being Human)
"Peng! 33 (Stereolab cover)" by Iron & Wine
Curiosity was far greater than our fear
It felt so simple, so prodigious at the same time
I JUST. YOU GUYS. ANNIE AND GEORGE AND MITCHELL. :( DOOOOOOORS. IDEK. - Charlie/Dani/Ted (Life)
"Todd the T1000" by Jonathan Coulton
Sometimes I kind of miss the old XJ-9 that we used to call Jane
Ted misses when life was nice and simple, before jail and before getting pulled into the mess and chaos and weirdness that is Charlie and Dani. - Jo/Zoe (WHEN ZOE IS OLDER OKAY) (Eureka)
"Love Potion No. 9" by The Clovers
I told her that I was a flop with chics
I've been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
She said "What you need is Love Potion Number Nine"
Right, so now all I can think of is how it's perfectly plausible that someone would try to make a love potion in Eureka and there would be an accident and someone write this fic for me, okay? - Phil/Lem (Better Off Ted)
"The Mother" by Nick Cave & Warren EllisOkay, no, instrumentals do not count.
"The Soulforged" by Blind Guardian
(WTF INTERNET ALL OF MY BLIND GUARDIAN IS ON MY DESKTOP WHY IS THIS HERE???)
And from the flames
As chance would have it
the soulforged will come into light
And from the flames as chance would have it
The soulforged,
The stainless will rise
PHIL AND LEM LISTEN TO THIS TO GET PUMPED UP FOR MEDIEVAL FIGHT CLUB AND PRETEND THAT THEY'RE TOTALLY BADASS. - Veronica/Linda (Better Off Ted)
"Do You Believe in Magic?" by Lovin' Spoonful
Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart
How the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll
Ahahahahaha Linda's niceness (compared to Veronica, I mean) and Veronica would just look at her like "..." and now I'm just loling and loling and loling. - Jackie/O'Hara (Nurse Jackie)
"Promise What You Will" by Iron & Wine
lately she don't care
for a warmer breeze
or shade around the base
of the maple trees
spring was on the mountain
we climbed upon
stopped to see how high
and how far we'd gone
i said, 'love is waiting
and better days'
she smiled and placed a kiss
on my waiting face
promise what you will
something good for me
time will take it all
and it will, you'll see
THAT IS THE ENTIRE SONG, INTERNET, and just. No. None of it. - Kat/Joanna/Roxanne (Eastwick)
"Sinning Hands" by Iron & Wine
The river still may rise
Wild and water take us both
Mine are sinning hands
Take our bodies, take our clothes
I...guess? Man, as this goes on I am getting worse and worse at coming up with tenuous connections. - Alice/Hatter (Alice)
"Prison on Route 41" by Calexico and Iron & Wine
I've a reason for my absentee
And no lack of love for my dear family
But my savior is not Christ the Lord
But one named Virginia whom I live my life for
HE LEFT WONDERLAND FOR HER, INTERNET. *____________* - Azula/Ty Lee (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
"Come Go With Me" by The Beach Boys
Love, love me darlin'
Come and go with me,
Come Home With Me,
'way beyond the sea;
I need you, darlin',
So come go with me.
This just makes me think of Ty Lee being all ":D! :D! :D?!" and Azula being like ">:( >:( :| :|" - Harley/Ivy (DC Comics)
"Re: Your Brains" by Jonathan Coulton
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand
But here's an FYI: you're all gonna die screaming
POISON IVY AND HARLEY CAUSING CHAOS TOGETHER AND *_______________* - Babs/Dinah (DC Comics)
"The Black Velvet Band" by The High Kings
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
Dinah is so hilarious *_______* over Babs all the time. Like, seriously internet. Seriously.
Internet, I am kind of really fucking happy that when I sit down and go "OKAY TWENTY OTPS, WITHOUT STOPPING TO THINK ABOUT IT, GO!" 7/20 are ladyslash, and only 1/20 is pure dudeslash (BECAUSE IDK WHAT TO COUNT BISEXUAL THREESOMES AS BECAUSE THE ONLY OPTIONS ARE "HET" AND "___SLASH" AND THEY ARE BOTH FUCK YOU AND YOUR BINARIES, FANDOM).

No, but really, unlike with, say, Parker/Hardison and Parker/Hardison/Eliot where the dynamic stays pretty consistent, chucking Matt into that mix changes it dramatically. <-- LOL JUSTIFYING
