Morning all

Got a doc's appointment this morning which isn't until 9:10 so I got to have a bit of a lie in :)

I was thinking last night about Clark and Lex's relationship (yeah, what's new there) and when it started to go downhill. To me there's a very specific moment after which, in my eye, things changed between them. They were still pretty much friends at this point too but it just felt different

So, I thought I'd open it up. When did the Clex change for you? I'll give you my answer later ;)

The plan comes together

Just booked my train tickets to the airport so I now have everything I need for my trip to Canada apart from spending money which I will get at the end of the month when I get paid. WHEE!

The weekend before I fly out is when I'm due to to visit my parents (and play with the new puppy!). Mum-Ra is going to take me shopping to buy some new clothes and then we're going to go and see Shrek 3. Should be fun!

I think I need some new songs for my ipod. I'm getting bored with what's on there at the moment. Anyone want to rec me some stuff? I'm in the mood for happy, summery songs so nothing too slow or depressing please :)

Interview meme

The interview meme is doing the rounds again which is good as it will give me a chance to get to know the new people on my flist a bit better

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions. (They probably won't be the same ones you see above!)
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

( I was interviewed by Bagheera_San )

In other news, there's lots of weird zombieness going on on my flist. I don't quite see the point of it but y'all have fun

A self-conscious ramble before bed

Over the last few days a few people have mentioned how frequently I post in my LJ. Not in a bad way I hasten to add, but it's made me more aware of it than I usually am

I'm not going to apologise. I post in LJ to keep me amused when I'm bored (or specifically to generate comments that will keep me amused at work. LOL)

But, I just want to invite people to defriend me if my levels of posting are annoying you. I promise I won't be offended.

And I am trying to cut it down a bit by combining lots of things into one post. I've only done 3 posts today which is very good for me!

*shuffles off*

I forgot something

The moment Clex changed for me was Asylum, or when the episode ended anyway. I don't think I've found a storyline as raw and emotionally painful as Shattered and Asylum. I was in tears for hours after the episodes ended and to me that's when it all changed. The hug between Clark and Lex at the end of Asylum was like the closing of a chapter for me, ready to move into a new state of relationship between Clark and Lex

I don't know what it was but to me things after that were different between them. Maybe because the ordeal had aged them both. Lex endured weeks of what was essentially torture at the hands of his father, only to have the whole thing literally burned out of his brain. Clark is swamped by the guilt of not only leaving Lex to be taken away to Belle Reve in the first place but also failing to rescue him in time

Gone is the sweet, innocent and almost childish relationship that the boys had in the early seasons and it's replaced with something gritty and more raw. Lex goes to work for his father (I think, my memory is a bit shakey here) and begins his journey into supervillainry. Clark finds out about the investigation and his guilt turns to anger and thus begins the rift

That's how I see it anyway
