30 Days of HIMYM and Musicality Challenge

HIMYM Meme snagged from idioticonion

Day 1 - Discuss how you got into HIMYM and why you still love it.

I was hanging out with my friend Becca, who was in RA in my dorm. She had to go out on rounds, but told me to stick around, so I just turned on the TV and found a re-airing of "How Lily Stole Christmas." I'd known that Alyson Hannigan had made the move to a new sitcom, but I hadn't really considered watching it until then. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing and I knew that I'd need to add the show to my list.

I keep watching because I care about the characters. I love Marshall and Lily's dynamic (for the most part). I love Ted's search for his perfect wife. I love seeing the sensitive underbelly of Barney Stinson. I love Robin's fierce independence. I love that it can make me laugh and make me cry and make me want to chuck shit at the screen. Never before has a sitcom gotten to me this much.

Now for the Musicality challenge. With cee_m's assistance, I'm running a challenge/music call sort of thing. What this involves:

1. YOU pick a theme/pairing/word, etc. (ex. happy songs, songs about Spike/Willow, songs to work out to, and so on)

2. At some point in the next week or so (depending on how many people sign up to do this) I'll go through my iTunes library and select five (5) songs that I think best fit your prompt and I'll post them in a file for you to download.
