Lana: "You're what happens when models marry..."

Hornblower has ruined all historical/costume dramas for me. I'm serious. Watching anything historical, my first thought is to figure out hwo the timeline fits into Hornblower. Then, I have to resist the urge to slash someone with Horatio.

This came up tonight, because I saw an episode of the "Scarlet Pimpernel". I have to say I absolutely adore Percy. *Love* him. Unfortunately, that is Horatio's time, with the revolution in France, so slashing Percy/Horatio is rather possible.

I mean, certainly, Horatio would have a low opinion of Sir Percy the fop, but something would happen at sea, some kind of calamity, and the highly capable side of Percy would emerge. One thing would lead to another, and ta da, there'd be shagging. *g*

Now for something totally unrelated. velvetglitter posted a link to Paul McDermott singing "Happiness". Apart from the fact that I love this song (and remember it from Good News Week), it's seriously reminding me of Lana. Not S3, kung-fu barbie Lana, but the creepy girl in a graveyard, constantly stalked, S1 Lana.

You're what happens when models marry,
You're the kind of angel they produce.
Pale creature more sad than savage,
Heaven knows you're fireproof.
In an apartment with a dirty mirror,
You can still kiss you face goodbye.

I want you,
I need you,
I want your skin upon my skin.
I want to,
Possess you,
I want to know where the hell you've been.

You're what happens when models marry,
You're the sort of victim they let loose.
Sitting on your own it's tragic,
That no one knows the awful truth.
Your scheming little junkie friends all tell you,
That sort of beauty is a crime.

I want you,
I need you,
I want you confused and unable to stop.
I want to,
Possess you,
I want to know what the hell you want.

I want you,
I need you,
I want your happiness and scars.
I want to,
Oppress you,
I want to know who the hell you think you are.

It also makes me think of Clark a little, which isn't surprising considering that both of them are almost too pretty to be real. However, the victim, helpless quality to the song fits S1 Lana far more, even if the apartment, dirty mirror and junkie friends references make me think of S3 - Runaway Clark.

You know, if it was possible, I'd probably sepnd all weekend online. However, Mum's up and bustling around, so I'm going to take that as my cue to emerge from my bedroom.

I have fic I could be editing, wallpapers I want to try to make,a new episode of SV to watch (and let's not think about the eps of Firefly that are sitting there waiting for me), but instead, I'm going to go watch "The Virgin Suicides".

Sometimes, celebrity almost-crushes are hard to resist. (Kirsten Dunst.) *g*
