brokenrecordYesterday I found out that this guy who went to my school died a week or two ago. Actually, I heard about it last week, but I didn't hear the details. His name was Charles Geo and I didn't know him, but I know people who did, and it's still incredibly sad. He was a freshman last year, so he's a year below me. He was exercising or working out or something like that I guess, and a blood vessel in his head burst. How random is that? I mean, I would expect something like a car crash or... I don't know. But a blood vessel bursting in his head? geez. I feel horrible for his family and anyone who knew him. :(
I love this episode times infinity. I was spoiled for it and knew what was coming, but it was still fucking amazing. I love this as much as 122 and 308, which is saying something. guh.
Melanie/Lindsay: Can we be done with this? I like Corinne, but... I just want this storyline to be over. The scene post-explosion was very sweet, though. I'm hoping that means they're going to work things out.
Emmett/Drew: Poor, poor Drew, and poor, poor Emmett. Drew was being an ass when they were talking before the explosion, but I can understand it. Drew is so lucky to have someone like Emmett there for him, though. But they were too adorable when Drew came to find Emmett at Babylon. sigh. I'm spoiled for all the stuff relating to Brian and Justin for the rest of the season but no one else, so I don't know if Emmett/Drew will last, but I'm hoping they will.
Ted: I haven't always loved him (I don't now, either. I don't dislike him, but I don't love him. I'm kind of indifferent to him), but I do hope he finds a husband, or at least someone to settle down with. He's had a lot of crappy stuff happen the past few years, so I think he deserves it. Also, OMG MICHAEL/TED INTERACTION! TED/EMMETT INTERACTION! I love the Brian/Ted friendship, but Ted hasn't been interacting with anyone else, and that makes me sad, since he used to be such good friends with Michael and Emmett. He's had some scenes with Emmett, but very, very few with Michael. It made me happy seeing them actually talk and everything. ...though... they didn't really talk that much. BUT THEY WERE IN THE SAME SCENE TOGETHER!
Michael: What I wrote down when Ben and Michael were discussing where to have the Benefit: "GET. OVER. IT. The Benefit > your issues with Brian. ESPECIALLY SINCE HE ALREADY FUCKING APOLOGIZED. GEEZ." And then he finally does go ask Brian, and MY GOD WATCH BRIAN RISE ABOVE THEIR ISSUES WHEN MICHAEL CAN'T. I mean, Brian tries to make things right and Michael totally shoots him down and crushes his heart. Yet, Michael goes to ask Brian for something, and Brian gives it to him without even having to think about it, AND doesn't charge him ANYTHING when the other place was charging $10000. My GOD. I totally love Brian. Also, I used to really love Michael (he was my favorite character at the start of the series, and I even shipped Brian/Michael over Brian/Justin for about half of the first season), but he's been a total ass this season.
Brian/Justin: First of all, they played "Lover I Don't Have to Love"! My favorite Bright Eyes song! wheeee! :DDD I guess I'll go in order of all the stuff. First, seeing Justin at the club all alone when everyone else had someone else: awwwww. When he was watching his mom kiss Tucker (who is still very hot. That needed to be mentioned, for some reason.), I was struck by how lonely he looked, and it made me think that part of his dislike of Tucker might not even be because Tucker's younger than Jennifer, but because he's jealous that his mom has found someone and it's serious, and he and the man he loved just ended their relationship. I mean, I think it's mostly due to Tucker being younger than his mom in addition to it being weird seeing his mom with someone who's not his dad (even if he hates his dad and doesn't want his mom to have to be with someone like him, that doesn't mean that it'll feel normal to see her dating), but I think a part of it could also be jealousy. Anyways. When the explosion happened, with the flash? I totally got chills. And continued to get them with Brian in the car on the way to the airport and with all the ambulances and with Brian frantically searching for Justin and everything. I loved how the second Brian heard about the explosion, he said "Turn around." I knew he would, that's not surprising or anything, but... I still loved it. No hesitation. And later how we find that all he was thinking about was making sure Justin wasn't hurt makes me love it even more. His alarm when arriving at Babylon and trying to find Justin was so... guh. Poor Brian. And their instantaneous hug made my heart leap.
Some Brian stuff that isn't Brian/Justin: Yay for Brian's clean bill of health! Also, I loved his "Doesn't anyone like to fuck anymore?" and in response to not being able to see the guys' dicks on the site Ted was on, "How do you know if they're quality men?" lines. I love Brian putting a hand on Ben's shoulder in the hospital, comforting him. So sweet. And Debbie and Brian at the church was really sweet and sad.
Back to Brian and Justin. And, like, the main thing that makes me adore this episode. Brian talking about how scared he was and how all he could think about was "Don't let anything happen to [Justin]"=awwwwwww. And I loved, once again, instantaneous hugs: the second Brian finds Justin outside, they hug. And. Then. Of course. "I love you." Justin's ear. Justin's gasp. Pulling apart. "I love you." Justin's expression. Kissing. Hugging. SQUEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! I've been spoiled for this for months, but oh my god I loved it. And when I first heard "Brian will tell Justin he loves him this season" it seemed like it wouldn't work, I couldn't buy it happening, but... it totally worked. Totally and completely. EEEE BRIAN TOLD JUSTIN HE LOVES HIM TWICE AND THEY KISSED AND THEY'RE SO BACK TOGETHER AND I LOVE THIS EPISODE!!!! :DDDDD
Yeah. I've watched the end of that episode about 5 times now. [sigh] I can't wait until next week. Especially since I know what's coming. I can, however, wait for the finale (513? I believe?) both because... well, I know what's coming, but also, IT'S THE END! I don't want it to end. :( sigh. Three episodes left. Insanity. And to think I've only been watching this show since, like, May. Actually, the screeners for 511 are out, so I could easily download the torrent. And I've been so against that in the past since I wanted to drag the season out as long as I can but... I think I'm going to break down and download 511 now. I'm desperate to see this episode.
Anyways, I got my camera back from Andrew's house on the way to my tenor lesson, so
From left to right, Justin, Mike Tseng, Andrew, and Emma. They were playing DDR, and it was one of the really tough songs, so they had it so Justin would have like... up arrow and right arrow, and Mike Tseng would have down arrow and left arrow. Same for Andrew and Emma. It was really amusing while we were there, but I suppose it doesn't look like much in the picture.
Michele Wong, preparing to bowl. It was really amusing, because the very first time she went up to bowl, she went into this position and it looked like she knew what she was doing and then... gutterball. And the same for her second roll. It was pretty funny. Not that I'm making fun of her; we played two games, and she did better than me both times. It still was amusing, though.
Hee. Most awesome thing ever. We were lane 14, on the right of the pink ball. It was Andrew's turn and Mike Tseng (and maybe Justin too) told him to do it like... shot put, I think is what was said. So he launched the ball forward, except it didn't go down the lane, it landed right where you see it in the picture; in between the side and the bumper of the lane next to us. It was hilarious.
Emma bowling! ...I felt like I should have at least one picture of everyone who was bowling.
Justin, bowling between the legs. Also, the back of Andrew's head.
Justin. Hee.
Andrew. I include this solely because I love how you can see that the ball is not rolling down the lane, but actually has bounced off it.
Another crazy shot from Andrew.
Justin, bowling backwards.
Justin, bowling into the lane to the left of us. oops. Hee. The people bowling in lane 14 must have hated us.
Mike Tseng, bowling backwards. Another ball flying through the air instead of rolling down the lane.
Emma, rolling the ball backwards through her legs.
Lastly, Andrew while we were playing Cranium.
I have an essay for SAT class I really need to write. sigh. And plus, I have a critical reading section thing to do, which I hate. I really need to do those tonight, though. blah.
