Ship Meme:
# Day 13 - What is your favorite television pairing?
Spike/Dru from Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I'll confess - it's not very easy to answer who your favourite television pairing out of all television pairings in existence is, but... here's an attempt? I'm letting Spike/Dru have the prize for now. Why, you might ask. Well -- Spike and Drusilla are the vampire version of Sid and Nancy, Spike and Drusilla are a rock 'n' roll fairy-tale smeared in blood, Spike and Drusilla are twisted unhealthy love -- you know what, just read this Ship Manifesto essay about Spike/Dru instead, from which I will quote this little piece:
"The thing about Spike and Drusilla is that it contains so many different elements. It's sweet and tender while being painfully dysfunctional. It fits into classic romantic archetypes and breaks them too. It is first love, lost love, painful love, dysfunctional love, idealized love, and, oh yeah, that entire eternal love thing. They're incestuous and star-crossed. It's like the greatest love story that occurred entirely off-screen and so we have to imagine its greatness and fill in the gaps."

Song A Day Meme:
Day 13- A song I sing to in the shower
I don't sing in the shower. I never really have. Does that make me weird? But I guess I would sing something like this if I were prone to do it.
