So, I originally hoped I'd be a cool enough dude to memorize some of Brook's breakdowns from One Piece, but got too embarrassed to actually practice the pieces; I have no problem performing them in front of people, but I was worried what my roommates would think a room over >> a weird thing to get caught up on. So, instead, I did the more reserved "I aim to misbehave" speech from Serenity, which I suddenly realized I pretty much had memorized already. It went over well, though by chance I got to talk with the acting teacher at the end and she mentioned she could tell I hadn't rehearsed it much, and she'd like me to try again. Either way, yay geekery.

I also made up for the lack of Brook by bringing it into another aspect;

edward_hyde and me were talking the other night about how not enough people appreciate the crippling solitude that the skeleton had to deal with. So I wrote a piece on that for the quick weekly reflection that we share in small groups on Thursdays. Before I was even done reading they were like "God stop I would have killed myself by now ._." I think they meant it in the way I intended rather than "your writing is awful" so... hooray?

Also I am still so happy over last night's episode of Glee. The show can do so great when it stops focusing on whiny white kid romance drama and instead branches out to the more neglected characters. Artie is amazing, Kurt has the best dad, and aaaaaugh Sue ;-;

Basically I am such an utter dork ._.

I felt like such a jerk for suspecting her at the start D=

I'm really, really happy they're adding more depth to her character. It could have been easy to make her a two dimensional villain -- her crazy evil can get pretty ridiculous. But the last few episodes have really made her a lot more...not understandable, exactly, but interesting. I wanted to hug her for calling Shue on his shit.

Yesss, really. This is a show of exaggerations, but giving an enemy character depth is almost always beneficial. For all the preachy kindness Will gets painted for, he can be really a short-sighted dick sometimes.

Not to say that I don't enjoy the crazy evil and unrealistic stuff. It's part of what makes the show so fun.

And you know it appeals to the relentless shipper in me to see so many unfulfilled pairings. SO MANY. *A*

oh man I know right
