Tue, 22 Jul 2008 21:05:25 -0400

this song was playing in the dream. now i can’t get it out of my head. & it makes me think of her. which i was doing anyway. & i am just a mess.

dreams.

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 20:57:09 -0400

have you ever had a dream that was so real & wonderful that you never wanted it to end? i had one like that the other night. it was amazing. it was the most passionate thing i’ve ever experienced. once i’d woken up from it, i kept my eyes closed trying to go back to sleep to continue it. & it worked. once. then i woke up & kept my eyes closed again. but i couldn’t sleep anymore. i really need to get back there. it was absolutely perfect. every kiss in the dream was real. it was honest & sexy & raw. & i really wish i could remember the details. i know what happened. i know who was there. i know what was said. the girl was so great. i knew she was beautiful, but this made me look at her so differently. & it made me want her on a whole new level. of course i could never tell her this because i’m pretty sure she would, A.) not care or B.) be weirded out.

i can’t get her out of my head. i can’t stop thinking about her. or the dream. i never really believed in love at first sight. but when i saw this girl for the first time, in real life of course, i knew. honestly, i haven’t stopped thinking about her. it’s the first time in a long time that i’ve felt this way. not since melissa. but i feel like the feelings i have for her are going to go to waste. because i’m too chicken to tell her. “if you never try, then you’ll never know.”

i can just imagine all the ways a conversation with her would go. and none of those ways involve her wanting to be with me. because i want everything. and i want it with her. god, i’m pathetic. i don’t even know her, really. but, man, i would really love to. every song i hear reminds me of her. every time i see a passionate kiss. “i’m yours.”

i don’t know what to do. i can’t talk to anyone about this. i guess that’s why i’m blogging it. i want to write so much more. but i can’t put the words to the way i feel. what do i do? just give me a sign. was the dream the sign? i’m not good at reading that stuff. how about just telling me to go for it? or something.. anything.. “it’s best for us both if i keep my mouth shut.”

the first song i ever loved.

“If it were physically possible, I would fuck this movie.” - Aziz Ansari

The early reviews on AICN and Rolling Stone are not at all overhyping. This film is incredible and will blow away even the highest of expectations. I am fucking stunned and you will be too. Heath Ledger’s Joker is even more amazing than you think it will be.

I want to see The Dark Knight again as soon as possible!!

jeffrubinjeffrubin:

I love finding the corners of the Internet.

As well all know, sometimes Wikipedia’s Lost pages just don’t cut it. Thankfully, someone started a Wikipedia that’s just about Lost - lostpedia.com

Just to test the site, I thought I’d see if they have a list of every nickname Sawyer has ever given anyone. For the uninitiated, Sawyer is a wiseass who works a pop-culture reference into a degrading nickname for one of his fellow cast-aways in nearly every episode. Lost enthusiasts are famous for combing through every detail of the show for clues, but is someone tracking even this level of minutiae?

Not only is the answer yes, but Lostpedia has a page with every nickname every character has ever called anyone. Remember when Hurley called Desmond, “Desmondo”? Or when Charlie called Jack, “Mr. Haha”? It’s all here! It even notes pet names, like the time Kate called Claire, “honey.” Think about that. Someone was (presumably re)watching Lost with a pen and paper, paused the show when Kate called Claire, “honey,” and then made sure to update Lostpedia.

For the three months Lost was new in the Spring, I would plan Thursdays around the 60 minutes the show was on but this is a level of fandom I just can’t understand. There’s no explanation as to why anyone would do this. The page simply says, “The characters often give each other nicknames.” Who is responsible? Is someone on quote duty?

Thankfully, because Lostpedia is running on the same platform as Wikipedia, we can find out. The entire update history is transparent.

Okay, so. Unscientifically scrolling through the update history I see a a wide variety of names. I’d say there’s at least 100 people who have contributed. I noticed two names that seem to show up more often than others. Now, I don’t mean to belittle the contributions of all the men and women who worked hard on this list of every time a Lost character has called someone else a nickname. If I knew a way to put this information in a spreadsheet and break down how many people contribute how much, I would*. But two names seemed to really stand out to me. They are
*If anyone knows how to do this, let me know in the comments.

CTS - No detective work needed here. CTS has a profile page that tells you everything you might want to know about the guy. Favorite episode of Lost so far? “The Shape of Things to Come” (the Ben flash forward from this season. Interesting selection since this was his least favorite season!). CTS boasts 2,000 edits to Lostpedia, so he definitely works on more than just nicknames.

Sockmonkey - Sockmonkey has made only 500 changes to Lostpedia, mostly to the nickname page and to the list of “regularly spoken phrases” (which is a great way to tell how many times someone on Lost has told someone else, “I’m not going anywhere with you.” Seven.)

If you’re still reading, you’re probably interested to hear that this goes on. Like all wiki pages, there’s an area where people discuss potential changes. Sample conversations:

-Topic: Well, there you go.

Sawyer didn’t look too surprised when he found out Ana-Lucia’s last name was Cortez. Perhaps that’s because Cortes was an explorer, and since Sawyer already nicknamed Ana “Ponce de Leon”, he probably would’ve played this up as well, if he’d known about it

-Topic: Nicknames for Driveshaft [a band one of the characters was in before the crash]

Johnny called it “Suckshaft” and Lily called it “Drive-through”. Would these belong in this article? -Sloths 18:49, 11 October 2007 (PDT)

Yeah I think it does, although i am starting to think this article should be seperated between flashback characters and island characters.. Anyone agree? - Lewis

The nickname list is so unwiedly Lewis thinks it needs to be split into two. He can’t even use it when it includes minor characters like Howard L. Zuckerman!

To give you an idea how important Howard L. Zuckerman was on Lost, when you Google his name the first link is a urologist with the same name. The Lost Zuckerman is the producer who Nikki and Paulo killed for a diamond in their only flashback episode. He’s included here because, in his 2 minutes of screen time, he called Paulo, “The Wolfgang Puck of Brazil.” I’m no longer surprised to discover that Howard has a page of own.

I thought I’d be lucky to find a list of nicknames Sawyer called Hurley, so stumbling on a resource like this did something few web pages do - it surprised me. I’m glad someone is always willing to dig a little deeper to the level nobody really cares about. It means they’re already past what I might want to know.

It really blows my mind to consider that none of these pages just appeared. Nobody was paid to create them. They were organically built by crazy fans, for crazy fans. I love Internet people who are unreasonably passionate about things. In a way, they are my passion.

But why would you want to?
