Thanks *hugs* I am totally contemplating using the cold as an excuse to go home from work even though it's not like it effects my typing or filing or anything.
By the way, I've watched two episodes of Veronica Mars - as I've seen you like it so much, I thought it might be worth a try. I liked them! Weevil is ♥
I'm so glad you like it. I mean I'd figure you would because we tend to like the same things (otherwise known as you have excellent taste). Keep me updated on your progress so we can discuss.
How can anyone not love him? ;) I was all "aww" when he hugged Veronica in the second episode.
What really caught me immediately, though, was how Veronica is someone who tries to gather together the pieces of her life, is so tough and yet so lovable - and the relationship she has with her father. Fathers&daughters are a weakness of mine, these days. ::sniff::
Some people have a harder time getting over the whole flagpole issue. But I mean how can you not love a guy who confesses to a crime he didn't commit to save his grandmother?
Yes, Veronica's attempts to glue her life together are really really compelling and Keith and Veronica have one of the best father/daughter relationships on screen, hands down. It's the almost post-apocalyptic nature of the show in great part that makes it unique.
Exactly! And the alienation and how painful secrets can be... As to the flagpole - it's not like I'm inviting my daughter to marry him. It's of no importance in whether I love a character or not.
I also love the contrast between Veronica 1.0 (as we like to call pre murder and rape Veronica) and Veronica 2.0. It so clearly demonstrates the far reaching effects that things can have... it's there with Logan and Duncan too as you'll see as you continue to watch.
Of course... I mean we love Snape for god's sake.
I think you'll grow to love Weevil in more of a way of affection and not just interest though. He's... well you'll see.
He definitely has potential for being adored, doesn't he? I mean, his being grateful and for chrissake, giving Veronica a hug? I know my being away from my RL friends shows... But the hug totally had me.
Yes, she's so different. I'm looking forward to seeing more :)
The hug totally gets me too. I love how the episode starts off looking to make Weevil seem worse but really teaches us he is better than we expected. Weevil is just such a good human being, despite being a gang leader and all.
Ew, I know what you mean I've been doing nothing except being lazy lately. I should be out looking for a job, but I took a little time off. Does that make me horrible, because I felt like I needed it. Now I feel like I need to get back on the ball and get to work again. Heh.
Ooh and I need for you to read my Kanecest and try and help figure out how to write in second person pov in a way that won't dis-interest the readers or help me convert it either to first pov or third pov. I tried to do third and it just didn't feel right. But someone else told me that my Lilly was spot on, but I need help with my Duncan. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp, friend, heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!
sorry i left you hanging on IM yesterday. my mom was on tech support when i woke up and i don't know what they told her to do, but we hd no internet all of a sudden, then didn't get back on for like half an hour. the worst part is that i LOST my crossword puzzle! i was almost done too! thanks for your help on it though.
