round 4: New Girl: Nick,Schmidt, Winston
Fandom: New Girl
Subject: Nick, Schmidt & Winston
Title: This Is Home
Warnings/Notes: vague spoilers for the first season.
I tried to keep the sad sack out of this mix and keep it light and bromance-y and for the most part I succeeded but some light angst snuck in there anyways. Blame Nick. Nick Miller, Winston Bishop and Schmidt are three of the main characters from New Girl. I know I’m probably supposed to love Jess the most being the female roommate and all but I love all three of these men so very much it’s ridiculous.
Nick is a bartender who dropped out of law school with three semesters to go and is this neurotic, grouchy old man in a thirty year old man’s body. Winston played basketball in Latvia for two years before returning to the states to live with his old roommates, he’s hilarious, somehow deals with Nick and Schmidt without losing his mind and in my opinion, gets into the least ridiculous situations, minus the earring. Schmidt is, dear Schmidt, is an insecure chubby man in a metro sexual douche bags clothing. He’s a germaphobe and is somehow the mother of the group. Winston and Nick apparently grew up together but the three of them have lived together since college. I don’t think any of them is particularly where they want to be, but they seem to be okay with that fact because they have each other.
The thing I love about these guys is that their personalities shouldn’t really mesh the way they do, but they’ve spent so much time together that they’ve become a little family. Families don’t mesh but they love unconditionally. There is no way Nick and Winston could have put up with Schmidt for so long if they didn’t love him. So what I tried to do was throw the three personalities in a blender and create something delicious…or at least enjoyable. I’m gonna stop rambling, have a mix.
This Week The Trend :: Relient K
and this week the trend
was to crash and burn and then return again
to practice the life that I pretend
provides enough to get me through the weekend
Giving Up The Gun :: Vampire Weekend
You said you wouldn’t flinch
But in the years that passed
Since I saw you last
You haven’t moved an inch
Leader of the Pack :: Sleigh Bells
do you remember when
you used to walk on by
and now you run and hide
pretend they never knew you
know you, know that it’s over
Pursuit of Happiness( Aoki Remix) :: Kid Cudi
Tell me what you know about dreamin’ dreamin’
you don't really know about nothin’ nothin’
tell me what you know about them night terrors every night
5 am, cold sweats wakin’ up to the skies
Magic :: B.O.B
I got the magic in me
Everytime I touch that track it turns into gold
Everybody knows I've got the magic in me
When I hit the floor the girls come snappin' at me
Nice Guys Finish Last :: Cobra Starship
You got style, you got grace
But kid you try so hard
she just laughs in your face
Yeah you're a nice guy
With the wrong attitude
Ideal Waste of Time :: Treble Charger
I don’t know what you had in mind
Is this your ideal waste of time?
I don’t know what you’re here to find
It’s not much but it’s still mine.
Here it Goes Again :: Ok Go
I guess there’s gotta be a break in the monotony
But Jesus when it rains how it pours
Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa
And you leave me, yeah you leave me
In the Garage :: Weezer
In the garage, I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the garage, where I belong
No one hears me sing this song
It’s All Been Done :: Barenaked Ladies
I knew you before the west was won
And I heard you say the past
was much more fun
You go your way, I go mine
But I'll see you next time
Bouncing Off The Walls Again :: Sugarcult
I’m bouncing off the walls again
And I’m lookin’ like a fool again
Waking up on the bathroom floor
Pull myself back together just to fall once more
What New York Used To Be :: The Kills
What fun used to be
What dreaming used to be
What fame used to be
What the city used to be
You and Me :: Plain White T’s
You and me, we couldn’t stand being normal
That’s why we make a good you and me
We both laugh at the most random situations
That’s the key baby don’t you agree?
This is Home :: Blink 182
We work and slave the day away
Were raised in perfect families
We fuck and fight like vagabonds
We dance like fucking animals
Umbrella :: Mcfly
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
"Be nicer to Coach or he's going to take off! Live with a bunch of other white people"
Bonus Track:
Gives You Hell :: All American Rejects
I wake up every evening
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place
And you're still probably working
At a nine to five pace
