Music & More Challenge
16.) a gif that makes you smile
John Standring is just all kinds of adorable!
I ❤ him
⭐
music question: a song that makes you happy
Cecilia by Simon & Garfunkel
Making love in the afternoon
with Cecilia up in my bedroom
I got up to wash my face,
when I come back to bed
someone’s taken my place
that part always makes me smile because I think of it literally, like he comes back to bed and their St. Bernard is all sprawled out in his place or something.
I’m weird.
Nowhere in Particular RA 
OK, not to be a pain, but: is there a GIF that *doesn’t* make you smile? 🙂

I totally LOVE John Standring! I’m not sure, but I think it was after I saw him in that role that I was lost forever in Armitagemania. So great gifs!!
As for the S&G song – I love them, but that line always bothered me because I took it even MORE literally. I love your take on it much better.
Thanks! (I guess I’m even weirder!)

I know, it is an unsettling line
she replaces him super quick but then when she loves him again, he falls on the floor laughing? I don’t think it’s supposed to be a serious song 😉

I have been bothered by that line too. Especially when you combine it with “You’re breaking my heart.” I’m going to try and listen with your ears kelbel.

it just can’t be a serious song to me with that jaunty beat!

RA is so convincing as an awkward Standring. I wouldn’t watch sparkhouse for the longest time (because of the subject) but you inspired me and I’ve watched it a couple of times now 🙂

The more I have watched Sparkhouse the more I have come to like and understand Carol…at first I thought she was horrible, but she is really not. She had a very rough time with her father and mother but she totally cared, loved and provided for Lisa and I think she cared about John Strandings feelings and was very honest with him. I think over time she had real affection which over time probably grew to real love. It is a great movie, I think. Her ‘soulmate’ on the other hand was a selfish little boy who never grew up.

I didn’t like Carol at first either but I understood her. I respect her, she doesn’t want pity, just a fair chance. she wishes she could be more loving to John but she’s who he wants, whether that’s who we would want for him or not 😉 I think they have a lot in common, though their experiences are different; they understand each other.
