I find it kind of funny

spazzSo I've been listening to Mad World all day today. Many things have arisen because of this.
1) Promax announced their second "Making the Cut" competition, and since I'm now in college, I can enter. Yay, me. Supernatural is involved again, so I want to enter, but that's beside the point. I would enter if the only show was Gossip Girls. Honestly, I would. So I downloaded their footage, and started watching it and recognized the Hells Bells promo without Hells Bells playing and I don't know what that means about me. But I'm thinking about using Mad World for my song... Just don't know if that's the most efficient thing to do. Maybe a little too angsty, but they didn't provide any clips from Bad Day at Black Rock, so they're obviously not looking for delightful-crack-tastic-ness.
I can tell from the footage they've provided that I'm supposed to introduce the girls, but I have this beautiful silent, slow motion movie half-fully-formed in my mind, and it's fantastic. I just... I know exactly the sort of eerie quality I want it to have. There aren't too many brother moments in the clips they gave me, but I'm going to frankenstitch some together and oh yes. You will all see. Even if I don't win the competition, you will all see. My pro-ness.
*cough*
2) I realized the Gary Jules version was a cover, so I went looking for the original by Tears for Fears. Everyone in the world needs to watch this video. Now. Seriously. At least watch til about halfway through. Trust me, you'll know when you get there.

3) I need to see Donnie Darko. I've never watched the whole thing in one sitting. Seriously. I need a good cry or something. Also Frank is love.
My finals got jumbled about, and now I have two on Monday, and one on Wednesday. So I'm officially on Christmas break next Wednesday at 3:00PM. Probably before, as it's my Astronomy Final, and I don't expect it to take up the whole class. Oh yes.
Also, my high school football team made it to State. :) So I'm skipping Final Reviews on Friday to drive with my family to Louisville for the weekend. We will party and partake of the greatest muffins in the world, and win. Also, my brother will play. And I will not freeze to my death.
Hopefully, I will tun out to be a good psychic.
On the Supernatural page on Wikipedia, it states that Kripke referenced the Hero's Journey as a source for his inspiration. Which, you know. Kind of obvious once you know that.
Obviously, Sam's the hero. He's pulled out of normalcy and into doing something he doesn't want to in order to "save the world". Or, ya know, for revenge. Same thing. While it saddens me that Dean doesn't get to be the hero, eh. At least he gets pie.
So what does this have to do with Ruby? Why, my favorite part of the archetype, of course! :D The mentor. Now, it must be said that I love Ruby to death, and may be a little biased that she won't turn out to be Satan or anything nearing evil because I just think she's awesome. *cough* So, I think she's there to impart slightly-evil wisdom to Sam. Re-watching all the Ruby clips from the "Making the Cut" footage made me start to think about this. She's there to give Sam whatever information he needs to do whatever it is he's supposed to do. I guess in this case it's save Dean. Fight the power. Whatever.
Actually, yeah. It's to fight the power; massive legions of demons. Right. Forgot about them because Dean is... er... more important. :D *oh is so making this up as she goes*
But I do have a point! Ruby! Mentor! Imparting wisdom!
So she has to die. The mentor always dies. Yoda, Obi-wan, Qui-Gon, Dumbledore, whatever, I like my Star Wars references. It's because if the mentor lives, they become too much like a deus ex machina, which obviously having a demon on your side would do. So yeah.
Course, this is all most certainly entirely wrong and I'm an idgit, and Ruby will be spotted roasting babies over and open fire next episode, but... I do enjoy my delusions.
*bows*
Thank you, and good night.
