rionaleonhart | I'm Dreaming Of A White Easter...

WHATEVER, CRAZY BRITISH WEATHER.

Happy Easter! Everyone seems to be ill at the moment, and I'm no exception, but I hope that at least some of you are well.

I haven't updated for a few days, so here are some things that happened during that time:

- On Thursday, I went to see the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain again! They are still absolutely amazing. Also, I met

maestro1123, and seriously, how can every single Livejournal person I have ever met in real life be so awesome? I've met thirty-two people on my friendslist now, and I have very much enjoyed the company of every one of them. (And I think that my tendency to give gigantic crushing hugs has actually got worse. THIS IS THE DANGER OF GIVING ME LABELS: I GROW INTO THEM FAR TOO EASILY. When I was labelled 'that zombie girl', having previously being fairly uninterested in the undead (no, really), I immediately set to talking too much about zombies and writing zombie apocalypse fic. When people started calling me 'the queen of crackfic', I started writing crackfic and almost nothing but. Now that my LJ friends view me as 'the person who gives alarmingly enthusiastic hugs', it's only a matter of time before I actually knock someone over. I politely request that you do not take advantage of this tendency by labelling me 'the girl who gives all her money to her LJ friends'.)

Rather to my distress,

maestro1123 said that I was 'surprisingly normal' in real life. CLEARLY I AM DOING SOMETHING WRONG.

- High School Musical 2 was on BBC One a few days ago, and so, because I've always been rather curious about this High School Musical thing, I sat down and watched it. I desperately, desperately want Ryan Evans to have a boyfriend in the next instalment - you know, unless the fact that he had an enormously homosexual song with Chad and then the two of them were wearing each other's clothes in their next appearance counts - but

th_esaurus has crushed my hopes and dreams by reminding me that this is fairly unlikely in a Disney film. ALAS.

I am trying to think of a good boyfriend for Ryan from my other fandoms, but it is difficult. Maybe -

WAIT, I'VE GOT IT. RYAN EVANS/ZELL DINCHT. YES. (Ryan Evans/Ron Weasley could also potentially work.)

I enjoyed the film, in case you are wondering! It was thoroughly ridiculous, of course, and the plot was appallingly rubbish, but it was fun and had catchy songs. This is all I ask from a musical!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I just wanted to let you know that I've had both of those songs switching off repeat in my head ever since you introduced them to me, I've just put both on my mp3 player, and I've got the moves from each half memorized already. Thanks.

By the way, I don't know how uplifting this might be, if at all, but there are chances that Ryan, while not getting a boyfriend in the next film, probably won't have a girlfriend either. Because yes, while Disney must be safe, they have been absolutely notorious for subtext in the past and I could see them evening things out a little. After all, who would ever suspect?

(Except people like us. I mean "Chad: I'll show you how I swing" ... "Ryan: That's what I mean, that's how you swing." Honestly.)

*shot*

You know what I want? I want fifty people on a golf course, all performing 'Bet on It' in sync. It would be amazing.

If Ryan got a girlfriend, I would be so distressed. RYAN. WITH HIS FLAMBOYANT CLOTHES AND HIS FATHER'S TENDENCY TO SYMBOLICALLY STRAIGHTEN HIS HATS. IF YOU GET A GIRLFRIEND, RYAN, IT MEANS YOUR FATHER WINS.

Actually, I think fifty people on a golf course doing the dance would make it seem less ridiculous. At least then he isn't flailing all by his lonesome. (Though the fact that it's a "loner" song would be quite the irony) On the other hand, of course, fifty people prancing wildly around the astroturf would be an amusing spectacle indeed.

Hmm...I don't know how I'd ever manage fifty, but we'll see what happens once I've got the choreography down. (And I am not seriously considering this stop it.)

(Oh, you are so seriously considering this. As well you should! Since I typed that comment, all I've been able to think about is how glorious it would be.)

At work today, whilst listening to the song (yes they are both on my player now shut up), I got a horrible, terrible, amazingly wonderful idea. And you don't get to know what it is until it's done (though it may take a bit, sorry)!

...

Now, I don't know if I'd be able to manage the fifty people or the golf course, but could you, by chance, provide with a few decent screenshots of Squall?

...YOU'RE A CRAZY PERSON.

There are six pages of Final Fantasy VIII first-disc FMV screenshots here; I've linked to the second page because that's where Squall first appears. (He's the dark-haired one with the furred collar, just in case you don't know him (you're not a Final Fantasy player, are you? (EDIT: OH, WELL, OF COURSE I WOULD SAY THIS BEFORE LOOKING AT YOUR LIVEJOURNAL TO SEE THAT YOU WERE CONSIDERING A SQUALL COSPLAY. I'm sorry; I have an appalling memory))). And there are thousands of screenshots here, but the ratio of Squall to people-who-are-not-Squall is lower, so you may have to look through quite a bit.

This sounds as if it could end up being glorious levels of insane.

XD it's quite all right. I'm not an FF player actually. Don't own the games. What I know is through friends, fandom, and a smattering of my own looking-things-up. I can, for the most part, identify people though.

It already is reaching rather spectacular levels of insane. I'll keep you updated. <3
