What Do You Do With a B.A. in English?

[sisabet]

It stands to reason that I would get so excited about "Avenue Q" that I would leave my suitcase in another state.

On the bright side - when it comes time to have the "Wiseguy" marathon, I'm already packed and my stuff arrived before me.

Things I Learned this Weekend:

Killa and I are perfect drinking buddies, but should not be left unattended at a candy counter.

Surprise renenet is almost my favorite renenet, closely bested by sleepy, rambling renenet and any renenet that you can have for an extended period of time. Suprise renenet, however - is awfully damn good.

Broccoli is not just a vegetable, it is also a marital aid. Or Measure.

I never tire of discussing Bobby Hobbes.

I never tire of discussing cave-ins.

If you are trapped in a cave in complete darkness for over a week, you will go blind. This information is courtesy of Snoo.

You should write about that. Include Bobby Hobbes, please. Also - Darien is going Q-mad.

The girl scout manual was designed to horrify you about ways that bones could break. The boy scout manual was designed to horrify you about masterbation. I think the two are related but that was as far as my brain got before the margaritas hit it. Also, it is possible that you go blind in a cave in because of the constant masterbation. Again - margaritas met brain and then I found out that Jim and Blair merged spirit animals that one time at band camp and I dispaired of any of my fandoms ever matching that level of gay.

If you fall asleep all nestled snug while watching "Wild Wild West" chances are the next time you open your eyes it will be to a gratuitous ass shot. It is like a permanant Christmas Eve.

Seriously, Spirit Animals Unite! Beat that, Smallville.

I thought I was reading too many comic books. Now I find that I am just not reading *enough*

William Daniels was not always the voice of a car. Once upon a time he was Teh Hawtness. And a founding father.

At this point, 1776 and Avenue Q are merging in my brain. Ben Franklin is quite comfortable there.

While I was prepared for Jim West and the back that just won't quit and I already knew he was just preternaturally pretty - NO ONE TOLD ME that Artie would one day dress up as a gunfighter and my head would explode. Seriously. He should just be a gunfighter all the time. Well, no cause then he wouldn't be Artie - but if he wanted to be a gunfighter on every even Tuesday, I would so go along with that.

If you bumper watching "The Wild Wild West" with "The Monkees" all WWW plots then will seem entirely reasonable.

People just don't rip off rubber masks anymore like they used too. Used to be - every show at one time or another would have someone pretending to be a lead and then ripping off the mask and revealing themselves to be the villain (this happened to poor Bo and Luke All.The. Time). Also - guys don't freak out and run and leave man-shaped holes in walls or doors anymore. I find this a shame. I look to Smallville to fill both gaps and to use the following WWW line sometime in the near future: "My underwear is made of solid rubber!"

Flowers for Hobbes?? [Invisible Man ep] Never Gets Old. Also, one partner thinking the other is dead and going off the deep end because of it?? [WWW] Also, never gets old.

Puppet Angel is still funny.

I still need for someone else to fix the pain in that WWW post-Pistoleres fic I read cause I just made it worse in my head. Damned infernal stubborn men! I'd spank them, but they'd like that. Hey! Maybe that is the fix?

In conclusion: WOMAN! Where is my supersuit??

I truly love Dr. Loveless. "I despise you for your firm, straight body!"

Ummm... I don't think so. That would mean anyone who was unconcious for a week (coma, whatever) would also be blind when they woke up.

And, anyway, what would the mechanism be? You may feel blind for a second or two when you get out (like walking into bright light after being in a dark theater) - but as long as nothing is pressing hard on your eyes for that time, you should be OK. Just FYI.

Um ... can I please have some of what you're having?

It's been a crap ass day at work.

You know what's great about being surprise renenet (apart from the obvious)? I was there for just long enough to have witnessed some piece of conversation about most of the topics on your list. And I got to see gunslinger Artie. Because oh. my. god.

I was so sleepy that I almost feel I dreamed it. Do you think I could dream my way back down there and find you all still in the living room?

I so wish I could lure you into La Femme Nikita fandom. This is a fandom that knows it's rubber masks! And they know how to take them off to dramatic effect!

Plus, nudity and even tighter pants on the male hero than Jim West's were. Cuz he didn't have spandex in the old west.

HEE - I missed your posts.

Though, given that I'm about to declare myself a major for a BA in English, I should probably actually be giving your title some thought....huh.

*G*

WA DO YOU NEED TO KNOW!?

You are making me loopsick. I have been sadly browsing ebay auctions, and I'm THIS CLOSE to buying...things. Also, my brain is trying to distract me from working with repeat shots of Jim's ass, and Lightning McCoy, and Jim looking up at Artie, and Jim finding out Artie is not dead, and Artie thinking he's killed Jim, AND IT'S ALL SO SAD BECAUSE THERE IS NOBODY TO ASK ME WHY I NEED TO KNOW OR RAVE ABOUT JIM'S ASS WITH MEEEEEEE.

Also, *good* point about the Monkees and WWW. And Killa and I nodded at your suitcase on the way out and neither of us thought to stop and really think about it.

I did find one story that had Artie dressing up as the gunslinger, but sadly it was mockable role playing, and I realized I'm not sure I want to read them roleplaying. Or any of my fannish boys. I'm not sure it can be done in ways that do not make me giggle.

In my head, however. Hummina.

I miss you guys!!!!!!

Avenue Q is much more fun live and in-person on Broadway. Come visit!

[aimeelicious]

I'm not entirely sure I followed this entire post, but I *really* enjoyed it anyway. =)

Puppet Angel is still funny.

yep, yep, yep.

All that other stuff of which you speak - it makes no sense to my poor little brain, but I realize, that I can read your posts without having ANY idea of which you speak and still find you entertaining and oddly comforting. Therefore, I continue to read, and still gain no actually *knowledge* from the experience.

[luminosity]

I missed you and am glad that you're home in one piece. And I like your advance planning vis a vis the next trip up there. Why pack when it's all there waiting for you?

Also? I hate all of you with a fiery purple passion. Just FYI.

There is no gay gayer than The Sentinel. Queer as Folk wishes it could be that gay, that's how gay it is.

I miss Bobby Hobbes.

1776 is full of Teh Hawtness. 1776, The Wild, Wild West, little Davey Jones on The Monkees, the boys of Here Come the Brides (which you didn't mention, but work with me here).... They just don't make men like that anymore.

::glances at current fandoms::

Oh, wait. Yes, they do. It's the shows they don't make like that anymore. Why is that?

[heresluck]

I wish I could have been there! Except for the not so much caring about the TV part. Maybe next time I should just show up and cook.

What Do You Do With a B.A. in English?

Same thing you do with a B.S. in Theater.

Nothing.
