HORRIBLY EMBARRASSING CONFESSIONS TIME:

I've never actually seen High School Musical, and it is the cheesiest thing in the world, but 'Breaking Free' (link leads to a YouTube video) manages to put tears in my eyes anyway. (EDIT: ...and making this confession appears to have snapped something inside me, because I am now dancing madly along to it. HELP ME, I'VE GONE INSANE.)

Although it doesn't make me weep nearly as much as 'Ever Ever After' does. I have seen Enchanted, but I'm really not sure whether that actually makes this any better.

NOW IT IS YOUR TURN TO CONFESS.

Confess what? Songs that make me cry?

Confess anything! Confess things that you have to confess!

Embarrassing (or at least 'slight sheepishness-inducing') confessions, not, you know, murder.

All that cheap angst-fic where people are bulimic or cutters or suicidal for no real reason? Or where they're gay-bashed, raped, or tortured for no other reason except angst and maybe comfort? The stuff that I know is poorly-written, implausible, and just plain bad?

I read it all. Gobble it like popcorn. I don't review, because I know it's bad writing, and I don't want to encourage it, but I read it again and again.

Because I'm a sucker for melodramatic character-torture.

Also, I've bought two Goo-Goo Dolls CDs in my lifetime, and I still listen to them.

There, there. I think we all have days when all we want is to read a really bad fanfic.

I do, at least. I can't help it; some of them are just hilarious.

I think it's because I spend so much time doing angst fics where all the suffering is justified, and logical (for a given value of logic), and understated that sometimes I just want to watch someone go, "Behold, we will take one of the happiest-seeming people in the world and turn him into an emo bulimic who cuts himself! And then have him gay-bashed! Just so we can do lots of comfort-sex and crying!" Because I'm trying so hard to avoid making it pointless and melodramatic that there's an attraction to seeing someone go straight for it.

Thanks.
