Five Reasons

[in_the_blue]

Five Six reasons I like Sting.

1. Who else in the known universe has written a rock song where there's a rhyme for 'Nabokov?'
2. All that yoga.
3. Great vocal range.
4. Seems pretty passionate for a Libra.
5. Former English teacher.

Edited to add #6 (which was my whole reason for thinking of this post in the first place):

He should have been cast as Remus Lupin!

haha! Sting is a pretty cool guy. My favorite song of his is "Every step you take". :)

Ooh, the stalker song. Good one.

*laughs* lOl, yes...the stalker song. I loved that scorpio icon you had! So you're a scorpio too? :) I absolutely love atrology! I know so much about it!

But of course I'm a Scorpio.

So is sosirius.

Do your chart for a Galleon...

Was the moon dominate at the time of your birth as well? I was born Oct. 23, 1987 at 7:07 a.m. So I'm actually a "double" scorpio. Its unreal how much a typical scorpio I am. :)

Gemini rising, moon in Pisces.

Where were you born? You could be a triple Scorpio, although your sun might actually be in Libra.

Oh no, I've done the homework. :) The sun was definately in Scorpio. I was born in Wheeling, West Virginia. That be awsome if I were a triple Scorpio...but I'm afraid I'm not that educated when it comes to charts and whatnot.

Aha! I thought that would draw your attention, my highly passionate Libran friend.

This idea never occured to me, but WOW, you are right!

Unfortunately, they didn't make me casting director. But yeah, he's the image I've long had in my mind for Remus. And although he is a fine actor...

but the Casting Hat didn't listen to me, did it.

Do you know the CD "Mercury Falling"? On the inlay there is a picture of Sting and his (?) dog. He looks sooooo Remus on this photo(Sting, not the dog). Unfortunately I haven't got a scanner, so I can't show you :-(

David Thewliss really doesn't look like Remus. But Gary Oldman doesn't look like Sirius either... *sigh* By the way: Nice avatar :-))

This picture? (http://www.caratuleo.com/s/sting_-_mercury_falling-in01.jpg) (That's one nice wolfhound, by the way.)

I can give public thanks to sff_corgi for the avatar. This one too, come to think of it! Thanks, C!

I'm sure I've said it over and over again to anyone who will listen: neither of those actors are my first choice for their roles. But I can deal with Gary Oldman better than I can deal with David Thewlis.

Not. My. Sirius.
Not. My. Remus.

YES!!! Exactly this picture!!!! Thanks für the scan :-)

Yes I know, you said it over and over - but I really like to hear it over and over again, so don't stop repeating it... I will always listen/ read, because I am glad that I am not alone with my opinion about David Thewliss and Gary Oldman, good actors as they may be.

@sff_corgi: Your avatars are superb! Stubby Boardman Fan Club! *LOL*
