Wow, last night. So, okay, I need to go on about three things!
1. Nervous breakdowns-- almost! But luckily not quite.
( Definitely not quite. )
2. Ladies' Choice
I recently put this song back on my .mp3 player and still love it. When it came on this morning it woke me back up out of a stupor I'd been struggling to chase off for several minutes without success. I love the lyrics, and the concept, because in my opinion, guys are never actually encouraged to go out and be sexy to girls in a positive role. I've been thinking about THAT because of SW:TOR- a lot of the time, I cancel out of flirty conversations and redo them because the flirt options are SO clumsy and awkward, and then I feel like I'm making an idiot out of myself for women who aren't even interested anyway. Which is the societal norm! The 'guy who tries too hard and irks the ladies' is comedic fodder (I then thought of the entirely appropriate song I Just Had Sex, for example), so there's rarely a 'guy who's hot, knows it, and wants to seduce the ladies'-- seduction is treated as the lady's job. Not going to go too far down the route of how it's also a lose/lose for ladies-- we're expected to be chaste and not like sex because that would be 'slutty' or 'whorish', but by being chaste we're 'prudes' and 'ice-queens'--except to say fuck you, society!, but the song at least expresses a kind of sexuality that is simultaneously funny and awesome.
This is all a long-winded way of saying, I've been embarrassed to admit it before because I know I will get made fun of for saying so, and I am stepping up now to say that's stupid and admit it anyway: I not only thought Christopher Walken and James Marsden were totally hot in the new Hairspray, I thought Zack Efron was really fuckin' hot, too. As well he should be! So there!
3. SW:ToR
( Oh my god, Dev, shut up about this game already! )
But what I really want to do is draw goofy fanart of our characters from it. I think it'd be fun! Though I do think it's a shame we have an all-human group. Yes, I know Dustin is technically Miraluka. No, I don't really count those as non-human.
Edited to add:
In the vein of #2, I love Ok Go for being a band about boys wanting to seduce everyone. I hope it's not out of line to say so, but they feel very pansexual to me, in an awesome way.
In the vein of #3, I forgot to mention: the best thing about Risha is that she's voice by Tara Strong, who is in everything, but most recently I've been hearing in MLP:FiM as Twilight Sparkle. Not that the voice isn't totally different, but every now and then an inflection makes me think of Twilight Sparkle, the underworld gangster instead of Risha, the underworld gangster, and that is excellent and also kind of hilarious!
