A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blog and replace any question that they dislike with a new, original question.
B) Tag five people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you. If you feel like it.. ;)
1. Make a list of 5 things you can see without getting up:
Uhm, my glasses which I should be wearing, the Thunderbolt and Lightfoot dvd, a James Dean poster, a tangerine-shaped candle and a Bruce Springsteen cd lying on my desk.
2. How do you style your hair?
I don't. I dry it when I wash it and that's it. If it comes out alright fine, otherwise I'll tie it for the next three days.
3. What are you wearing now?
Black trousers, black sweater, blue shirt under the sweater.
4. What's your occupation?
What she said.
5. Do you nap a lot?
Sometimes, but just when I didn't start the day well.
6. Who was the last person you hugged?
My mother?
7. What's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
Pf, Lost and Bruce, but that's not news.
8. What was the last thing you ate today?
I had breakfast? A lot of coffee, not so much milk and crackers with orange marmalade.
9. What was the last text message you received?
You remember my uber religious (former) friend? He sent me a text saying last morning there was an interview airing on the national tv about his conversion (which wasn't a conversion. He became a fundamentalist, which is different than conversion, but anyway). Of course I didn't watch it, also because I saw it too late and I was studying rather than checking a program called The road to Damascus.
10. What websites do you always visit when you go online?
LJ, lastfm, yahoo, my newspaper's site, youtube.
11. What was the last thing you bought?
Uhm, a comic book? Can't remember.
12. What are you listening to right now?
What Love Can Do by Bruce Springsteen.
13. What do you think about before you go to bed at night?
How the holy fuck am I going to write that Jack/Sawyer fic which I have in my head but can't seem to actually write? But that's specific. It depends.
14. What was the last CD you bought?
Working on a Dream for myself. ;)
15. What is your favorite weather, and why?
Warm and sunny, but not uber-hot. Because I like to be out but when it rains it sucks and I hate, hate, hate cold.
16. If you could play any musical instrument, which one would you play?
I'm the worst bass player in existence but I do play it when I manage.
17. How are you?
Cold as hell and Kant is killing my head, but in a week it'll be over. \o/
18. What's something you'd like to say to someone right now?
I don't have an idea and I can't come up with another question.
19. Say something about the person who tagged you:
She's awesome! And she rightly envies the camera who got sexually harassed by Mr. Springsteen at the Superbowl. ;) ♥
And stolen fromlenina20 because it's way cool:
Pick a pairing - canon, made up, crossed or otherwise, and I will tell you five reasons why they're together.

Date: 2009-02-22 10:45 pm (UTC)1) Because they get each other. They both made wrong choices and did terrible things and while they deal with it in a different way, they both know what it means carrying such a burden on your shoulders better than anyone else could.
2) Because they saw each other at their worst a week after they met and while it's something that will always hang between them, by all means they should have ended up hating each other. But not only they don't, but they end up respecting first and trusting each other after and it's not exactly every day that it happens.
3) Because Sawyer needs someone who can deal with him the way he is and who won't make him feel trapped; Sayid will always think that nothing Sawyer has done can get worse than what he did himself and won't ever try to change him or crowd him, which is probably the reason for which Sawyer stays.
4) Because Sayid doesn't exactly like to talk but he likes to listen and with Sawyer around there rarely is silence.
5) Because once Sayid was the one, between them, who tried the hardest to be a better person and he made Sawyer believe he could try it, too, even if it wasn't like Sayid didn't have his slips. Now Sawyer is the one who has changed and Sayid is the one looking up at him thinking that maybe he can have one last chance at it.
(the last one was probably very much influenced by that last fic of yours but now it kind of became my fanon ;) )

Date: 2009-02-23 08:42 pm (UTC)#1 is kind of the starting point whenever one writes them together, isn't it? And #2 as well. Starting out by showing each other the worst side of themselves - not exactly an auspicious beginning, but then there's nowhere to go but up. Plus, I think it reinforces #1.
Your other reasons are great as well. I guess we see the pairing in a pretty similar way. :)

Date: 2009-02-24 01:34 am (UTC)I think that #1 and #2 have to be the starting point because you just can't ignore that or otherwise it can't work. You're totally right about #2 reinforcing #1 but then again you can't have Sawyer/Sayid without Confidence Man, at least for me. (Fun thing that Confidence Man is also one of my Jack/Boone main episodes. Talk about importance of episodes here!)
Well, great to hear we do. ;)
