Jen

The Social Network - Jesse Eisenberg, you are magical. Tomorrow, When The War Began - I ship Ellie/Homer, and laughed so hard at the use of cattle and the Lord of the Rings reference. Easy A - Emma Stone is stunning and that movie has so many quality quotes.

In the absence of any new Glee episodes I've taken to watching all the episodes from Season 1, in order. And I came across something that confused/intrigued me. It seems in the early episodes Karofsky was not on the football team. He was, as far as I can tell, a hockey player. Azimio has always harrassed Finn for choosing football and glee, but Karofsky did not come into the picture until 'Mash-up' (episode 8). When Quinn and Finn are no longer considered popular, Finn initially gets slushied by Karofsky in the hallway. Finn then choves him back going, "What the hell?" in which Karofsky explains that he's been waiting to be able to do that. And now he can because Finn has fallen below the hockey players on the social heriarchy. Quinn then calls Karofsky a puck-head. Throughout this episode whenever Finn is dealing with the football players - them not respecting him as captain - Karofsky is absent. He is not a football player. I have read so many times that Karofsky was a footballer player on the team with Finn. Finn himself, said that Karofsky was a wide-reciever and would beat him up if he asked him to stop picking on Kurt. So, is this just Glee's poor continuity that has messed up, or something else? I'm not saying it's impossible for Karofsky to play both sports, or even shift from one to the other, but I just think it's interesting that he wasn't always 'in' with the football team crowd. It seems as of 'Mattress' (episode 12) that Karofsky was just grouped with Azimio on the team, for convenience. Interesting.

Yay! Thank you so much rubyxfan, Sabrina, Kristen, Lore, Lise, Zetti and Carina for your comments. I'm glad you like them. I aim to please. I've been sitting on these batches for a while and just wanted to get around to posting them. Thanks for checking them out. Thank you. And I agree. They are all unfairly attractive. I think Kevin is quite possibly one of the most adorable people on the face of the planet. Nick and Joe however, should not be overlooked. They did a LiveChat yesterday, which I am yet to watch, but I will get around to that soon. Success!! That was my plan all along. To lure you in with their obvious good looks and charm, and then remind you that they also have music, which you play once or twice. And then before you know it you are playing Lovebug on repeat and don't know how you got there. (At least that's what happened to be me). I take full blame and responsiblity for any Jonas-related feelings you may have. These include, but are not limited to; squeeing, squealing, flailing, fangirling, clapping, and ridiculously smiling all the time. And if you are telling me that this all happened on account of me -- then I'm going to call that a win. However, I wouldn't call my icons perfect. They are far from it. I just make them to how I like them, and then post them. It's just a bonus if other people say they like them too. I really do appreciate all the positive comments you make. It can make my day .

Thanks guys . Warning: The next few posts are going to be Jonas related, because even if they are doing nothing significant right now, they are still pretty to look at. Shallow, who me?

Thank you so much Kristen, Carina, Lesley, Lore and Sabrina . I hope everyone had a great New Years and 2011 proves to be a wonderful year.

Thank you! I hope each and every one of you had an awesome Christmas and were obnoxiously spoilt .

Thank you so much for the comments everyone!

Thank you so much everyone!

I'm still taking Christmas requests, if you have them. But here, have some Rhys Wakefield icons too.

Thank you. Wow. Seeing all my icons in a list like that, makes it seem a little excessive. But thanks so much for going through them all. You should do a speech! When I looked on the artwork & creations forum, I suddenly saw the number '500' & thought, wow! That's a lot - seriously. Congratulations You really do make some amazing avs & banners & everything. Beautiful work & a great effort without fail Jen. Love Carina xxx Ha, my speech would be a lot of 'You guys are amazing. I wouldn't be here with out you. I want to thank everyone who supported me ...' So it's best I leave that well enough alone. Thanks for all the comments. Thanks, Sabrina! Thanks Lesley. Your icon is at the end of this post. I did Aden/Belle and an Adelle one, so you can choose. Thank you. Thankies Laura. Sure thing. The avatars are at the end of this post. And then two selfishly for me;

Puck and Rachel. I'm annoyed at the whole Rachel situation. This show just doesn't want her to catch a break and I have a problem with that. She's my favourite character and I hate what they are doing to her. Couldn't agree more. I totally thought it was inapprpriate for Mr. Schue to yell at her like that, particuarly in front of the rest of the glee club. There is an effective way of speaking to students -- that isn't it. I feel like Schue is the worst teacher ever. He always goes on about glee being a family and was really good about supporting Kurt through his bullying situation, but then he turns around and does the equivalent to Rachel. I adore Rachel's friendship with Kurt. All the scenes of the two of them together are always amazing. I wish the rest of the glee club could figure themselves out. At the end of season 1 they were prepared to go and bash up Jesse and the rest of Vocal Adrenaline for egging her, but Schue stopped them. Now, Quinn's saying she wants to punch her and Mercedes wants to preserve her in a jar. Yeah, that makes no sense. I just don't see what Rachel has actually done to warrant these attacks. I think Glee does a lot of good things -- see Kurt/Blaine -- but then there are some horrible double standards. I can't help wondering if it's because there are three male writers working on the show. Glee, why do you have to be so confusing?

My excitement cannot be contained . Baby, It's Cold Outside video has been released and it is so many different kinds of adorable . It's like some kind of old-school romance, where one is pursuing the other, while still being classy and dignified and not rushing into things. Maybe I'm watching this with my tinhat firmly placed on top of my head, but seriously. Does it not look as though Blaine is pursuing Kurt? It's is so flirty and smiley and I keep hitting replay on the video. In my mind Blaine has just suggested, 'Hey Kurt, we're all alone, let's just sing this fun, festive song.' And Kurt obliges, but while Blaine is playing off the lyrics of the song, there are a few moments where he drops his guard and his eyes flick to Kurt's lips and he pulls these little faces where it is blatantly obvious he actually cares about him. Kurt on the other hand, has had so many unrequited crushes that he's being extremely careful. He's seeing Blaine as a friend and companion and not considering the boyfriend thing at the moment. He's letting Blaine get flirty because it's the song, nothing more. Kurt is playing it coy and I'm so excited to see the context of this song within the episode. Blaine just keeps invading his personal space and plays the piano and I'm sad they cut the "Gosh, your lips look delicious" line, but I honestly don't think it needs it. This way it remains a bit ambiguous about who feels what and I'm begging for there to be more. No, I didn't just hit replay again, why would you suggest that .

Thank you so much Kristen, Katie, Carina, Sabrina, Lise and Lesley . Oh hey, look! 500 pages Do I give a speech? No. Okay. Instead let me offer this. I did this last year, but I'm making Christmas icons. You can request any character/person/fandom to fill the "All I Want For Christmas..." icon and I will do it. This year, the icons are in the following styles. So let me know whether you want the first or second and I will fulfill the request. Note: Please remember this is a H&A forum, so only show related ones can be used on this forum. As such, the avatars are 120x120, but I can resize to your specifications if you would like to use them elsewhere.

Oh hey, look. Jen is back with another long post. I’m going to pretend that The Substitute didn’t happen. Except for the one scene with Kurt/Blaine/Mercedes at BreadStix. GaygaygaygaygaygaygayomgIopenmymouthandalittlepursefallsout. I literally could not stop laughing. It was quite possibly the funniest thing ever. And the Starkid in me squeed at “On the count of three name your favourite Vogue cover.” REDVINES! The writers had to know what they were doing there. Darren Criss you are a magical creature that I cannot believe is real. -- Furt Kurt’s precious little faaace. I can’t handle him already. With the hat he looks like he’s going to go walking in the snow with his little rosy cheeks. Too adorable. And then planning the wedding. I’m ignoring the Sue marrying herself storyline, except for how she is an awesome principal. Way better than Figgins ever was. Particularly in dealing with the Kurt/Karofsky situation. And hey, Schue, nice job at actually being a teacher. Karofksy legit scares me. I don’t care that he’s a closeted gay boy or whatever, he gives me the creeps. Rachel why are you being awesome? I’m not used to this non-selfish side of you, and I really like it. I’ve liked the Rachel character development this season. Which is a weird thing to say, because Glee is not so good at the character stuff. But she’s had conversations about being a better person with Finn, and singing that duet with Kurt because they are more similar that he realises, it is just really wonderful. Everyone is down on Finn. I get that they are saying he should stand up to Karofsky, but Karofsky wouldn’t listen anyway. He’s dealt it out to Finn before. But I guess if Finn said that instead of ‘it’s bad for my rep on the football team’ it would have gone over better with everyone involved. Oh, hey Mike Chang and Artie being awesome. And Puck totally wanted to get involved in that smack down. And I don’t think Sam getting involved was just from the bottom of his little heart. It was definitely self-motivating; in getting back is status as top dog on the football team and in glee club. I saw him have that little smirk after he got his black eye. He knew it would draw attention. I see what you’re up to, Sam. Dance rehearsals are awesome. Burt is the greatest dad ever. And beating up on Karofsky is just plain great. Mike O’Malley always blows me away. And Karofsky’s dad is not weird or obnoxious or automatically thinks their child is always in the right. It’s a refreshing change. He is just a normal dad who wants to figure out what is going on with his son. Good parenting. While Glee might fail on their teachers, they make up for it in their awesome parents. Burt, Carole, and now Mr Karofsky. I’m impressed. The WEDDING. I can’t handle the level of adorable. ‘Marry You’ and the dancing down the aisle was spectacular, especially Burt’s daggy dad dancing. Just heart can’t handle the cute. And if it couldn’t be more adorable, then Finn sings ‘Just The Way You Are’ and my eyes are literal hearts. I don’t know what to do with my hands, but I have this stupid grin on my face as he’s singing to Kurt and then dancing with him. I want to say so much about this scene in what Finn is doing for Kurt and just the commradry between the whole glee club. But everything can’t stay glittery (Kurt wanted doves that poop glitter, okay? That is a perfectly reasonable thing to want) and rainbows forever. Karofsky is coming back (not cool) so Kurt is leaving and I get all sad. But then I remember Blaine and I’m super excited. -- I’ve also seen Special Education, because Channel Ten are being stupid and not showing it until the New Year, which sucks. So I watched the stream online and I can’t handle the level of second-hand embarrassment for Kurt, but Blaine is looking at him like the sun shines out of his arse, and Rachel/Kurt friendship of epic proportions exists so I’m okay.

And some Dexter/Walker family appreciation.

Thank you very much Lore, Carina, Sabrina, Rhedz, and Katie . You are way too nice. Lore, that is a texture on 24th icon. EDIT: Photobucket is not liking my Robbie/Tasha set and I'm not sure why.Will re-upload when I get the chance.

Thankies everyone!

Are you saying that I got the colour of Annie's eyes wrong? Because I'm sure that's not the only mistake I'm going to make in this fic . But thanks for the feedback. And thank you to Carina and Red Ranger .

Thank you for the wonderful comments Lise, Tahlia, Kristen, Carina, Sabrina, Zetti and Kristina .

Oh, thank you. I tend to start typing with very little editting, and only like chapters ~2000 words long. I don't know, it's a bit of a pain, 'cause some people don't like long chapters. But thank you again. Yeah, it's an Aden/Annie pairing, sorry. But Belle does get a mention in a few chapters. I know! I've been saying I wanted to write this/was writing this/not finished this for forever. But it's finally here! Thank you for the review.

Thankies rubyxfan, Carina, Lise, Kristen and Sabrina .

I've just heard it. And it doesn't get much more seductive than that song. When Darren sings "Oh your lips are delicious" I literally became mush . And then his exquisiste falsetto at the end, and I'm completely gone . I need context for this song immediately. They are definitely playing up the fact that Blaine is older. And I like it .
