You know it's NEW LOST DAY when I pop in to say...nothing. Nothing but SQUEEEEEEE!!!.

And, :D :D :D

And, y'know, to just generally be spammy. Because New Lost + me = spam. Tis a law of the universe!

I made my icon to post in the lovely [livejournal.com profile] ficangel's journal but then it decided it wanted to be my default for the day. Josh's excitement is contagious, don't you think?

Okay, see, you have to talk to me on New Lost Day, 'tis another Law of the Universe, for otherwise my hyper-ness will spill over into Too Much Spam, and Too Much Spam is unmannerly, not to mention fattening. So, tell me something. Something happy. It can start out gloomy, if you want, but it MUST turn into something happy by the end of the reply.

Okay, I'll go first. It's raining. AGAIN. BAH! But RAINING on CRAPHOLE ISLAND means HOT WET BOYS. And now my gloomy mind can take me to a happy place where there are hot wet boys, all dripping and glistening, you know, like this:



and this, which has nothing at all to do with rain -- see how quickly this game takes you to The Happy Place?



Now I must go work on a picspam for [livejournal.com profile] lostsquee, for I suddenly find myself Inspired. And Strangely Enamoured of Capital Letters. Tra la!

And, just to prove that I *can* post something besides "SQUEEEE" and "WHEEEE" and other things ending in "EEEEE!" today, here's a bit of Lost-related thinky-stuff.

This is for those of us who are STILL HERE, after everything Lost has put us through. [If you've moved on but still read my journal anyway, *great big smooches*, but you can skip this bit o' spam.] I just read an article in [livejournal.com profile] eponine119's journal that compares Lost to an abusive boyfriend. It's here. Is there anybody left who hasn't been disappointed, hurt, or just plain pissed-off by Lost at least once? If you're like me, though (I've been all of the above at one time or another), you just keep coming back. I think that's intriguing (and happy-making, because, like I said, it means we're still HERE!). *simultaneously dances with you and clings to you*

So, even if Lost isn't the show you expected it to be (which is the lament I hear most often, and totally agree with), or if they've messed with your favorite characters to the point where you've screamed and thrown things (me, too!), or you're so sick of dropped plots and ENDLESS FUCKING QUESTIONS (I could launch into a meta here about how those are nirvana for a fanfic writer -- if they drop or lose sight of the ball, that just means we get to pick it up and run with it! but I'll save that for later), why do we still come back for more?

For me, it's because I have to know what happens to these characters. I HAVE to. Sometimes I wonder if it's a trainwreck mentality -- even if I *know* they're gonna meet a bitter fate, I still have to sit right there with them, like I can hold their hand or something. But really, I think it's just that I care about most of them more than I do anybody else on TV (and most people in RL!).

So, tell me, Lost fandom (without harshing my buzz, please -- I'm in my Happy Place today, remember!), why are YOU still here? and I hope you never leave! ♥

There's something about being very, very spoiled that makes it hard to write a review. I feel like everything's already been said, but that's only on the spoiler boards! I need to stop being spoiled, obviously. ain't gonna happen, though...unless someone out there is staging an intervention? *blinks hopefully*

I guess I already knew everything except for this, and this )
