How precious is this birthday gonna get, I ask you?

[crazydiamondsue]

Happy Birthday, adis723!

In regard to your present, allow me to quote David Boreanaz: It's just so silly! Allow me to follow that up with a Joss Whedon quote: Sometimes I'm derivative and lame. Eh. You love me. And while the vid idea is terribly derivative, the love is sui generis. (Check that Free Rice obsession, huh?)

SPN Personal Canon
(As filtered through all of your fandoms, even the ones you don't claim. Oh, and one I just thought was funny.)

Following along with the derivative, but if Lane can make one for Lorelai, then I can make one for you! A song for every year of your life -- replete with inside jokes and fandom references and even a few just because they sum it all up. And when am I ever gonna have a chance to put Black Flag and REO on the same mix again?

I tried to think of all the many important things I should tell you about how much your friendship means to me and why I love that fandom finally gave me what I've wanted since I was three - a baby sister (I actually got two of them! And the three of us are so Benneton ad!) But it's just all the small things that I love most.

The fact that you can compose coherent sentences out of an amalgam of Buffy, Supernatural and Gilmore Girls quotes. That you send me random cover songs - the more surreal the better - and random acts of Chad Michael Murray on a semi-daily basis. That I could call you right now and say, "No. I don't know. I don't know what kind of racially insensitive syrup we use," or "Pack of smokes. Brick of cheddar. What are we doing?" and you'd crack the hell up. That our first phone call in 2004 lasted four hours and at least three of them were devoted to the shadows Nick Brendon's eyelashes make on his cheeks. That you can look at a crock pot or a space heater and tell me the brand and serial number. That Caza loves you almost as much as I do. That you write prose better than I do because it allows me to say I'm the funny one. Fandom's given me many great things -- and hours of distraction -- but you rank right up there with Eliza Dushku's eyeliner, Nick Brendon's smile, Charisma Carpenter's laugh, Jared Padalecki's crotch-shots and David Boreanaz's chicken-fear. (And I love that you know there could be no higher praise from me.)

Vinnie, I love you. I love you, Vinnie.

Whoever you made that vid for, they are a lucky, lucky person, because it. Fucking. Rocks. Made me laugh so hard, thanks for that!

That vid is the best thing in the history of ever.

I've been sitting here making flaily hands at my keyboard because... You like me, you really, really like me.

The vid. Good God woman. Make me laugh, then laugh, then laugh, then nearly cry and then laugh again. They were all so perfect and so ME. I wish your phone worked, because I'm really not capable of conveying all that I want to in typed word format. Seriously. Srsly.

Blue Steel Magnolias: The lip sync? Awesome. Jensen is the new Dolly, Dean is the new Truvy and I'm never watching the canon versions of those scenes the same way.

Gilmore Boys: Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Perfection. Like gum.

Charlie's Angels: Seriously, that should not work as well as it does.

Queer as SPN: Ditto. But really. Hee! And Big Texas Towing & Storage FTW!

Firefly: I... *sniffle* I'm speechtypeless. *breathes* Oh DEAN. Oh SAMMY. And with the sun flare and all the Sam angle shots and JOHN found serenity! And the wide shots and I LOVE YOU.

The Creek: My Chad! And lil Mikey Rosenbaum. Oooh, Trailerdoorframe!Jared, oooh, sittingonabed!Jensen. And all the flares were perfect, but especially on the end pic!

But for years I've been wondering, who the fuck is DEVON?!?!

And, lord, was I really only 10 (probably 9) when 'Lithium' was released as a single? I don't remember feeling like a kid, but I remember watching video on 120 minutes. But of course, I'd probably just gotten home from seeing 'Interview with a Vampire' at the theater.

You are the bestest ever. And I love you more than my luggage. Get your roots done.

In conclusion, how amazing are Nick Brendan's eyelashes? I mean really.

Bonus points for Steel Magnolia reference!

Sue!!!! That vid is so much awesome it can't be textually rendered. I cracked up out loud at the "Gilmore Boys" and DC bits and well, most of it. But of course, Vinnie totally deserves it. <3

P.S. I recced it on my journal but I linked to the You Tube page. If you want I can redirect here, but I figured that maybe you'd rather have strangers going over there?

That was awesome!

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU SO.

[brandil.livejournal.com]

are an *insane* genius. The QaF destroyed me, absolutely destroyed me.

*mwah*

[untitleddemo.livejournal.com]

Still the most awesome thing EVER!

And yay for the music mix, I'm gonna download when I get home later tonight.

heeeee! This is so awesome and funny - and I say that as a non-SPN fan. I'm impressed at how well all those clips worked, especially the GG and Charlie's Angels! It's surprising how many similar type shots you found to the GG credits. And I absolutely love the Dawson's Creek one and how you even had them diving in the water like in the DC credits!!!

What an awesome gift to the awesome Vinnie!! :D

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

That vid is made of pure awesomesauce. :D

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

The vid is just adorable and clever and terrific! I loved the Gilmore Boys one the most, I think...

[electricalgwen.livejournal.com]

Firefly was awesome! (Mind you, it probably helps that that's the only one of all of them I'm familiar with. *is highly pop culture ignorant*) I can't believe how much JP looks like Mal in that shot.

[nikki-holly.livejournal.com]

LMAO! i love it! i absolutely loved Gilmore Girls and Dawson's Creek. Especially the Creek. "The Chad" lol. and Steve is just too cool to actually have a last name. Loved it, loved it, LOVED IT!

[lyr]

That vid is a serious piece of awesome. My ribs hurt from the laughing, especially during the Charlie's Angels bit. Do you mind if I link this?

[minnow1212.livejournal.com]

Over via a rec--the SPN personal canon vid made me crack up hysterically. Very fun!

Devon? Who the fuck is Devon?

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

Sue!!!!!!!! I just made it to the office to watch this vid and OMG it is so funny. The Firefly one had me almost tearing up and that last Dawson's Creek one? So FREAKING FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!

I bow before your amazing awesomeness. SPN - it's anything you want it to be.
