I Notice That All But One Of These Points Specifically Mention Ryan.

[rionaleonhart]

I hope you all had an excellent Christmas! Mine was marvellous. Thank you so much to xavantina, suzie_shooter, sparklenight, Helen and, inexplicably, Sam Winchester for your cards; they made me very happy, and they're looking at me from the top of the chest of drawers right now.

(Also, my brother has an offer from Oxford University! Provided he gets three As at A Level (which he certainly should, because he's the most intelligent person I know), Joseph should be going there to study Philosophy and Theology. I am so pleased for him.)


Today, I saw High School Musical: The Ice Tour with th_esaurus, nonsensical, meisalliam and choledotcom. We are all grown women and so really did not have an excuse for going, but I am so glad we did, because it was amazing. The story was very cut down, and, to my distress, most of the songs had parts chopped out as well, but I suppose sacrifices had to be made to fit both of the first two films into the show.

Particularly amazing things:

- RYAN AND CHAD HAD THEIR ARMS AROUND EACH OTHER. After 'I Don't Dance', after 'Gotta Go My Own Way' and 'Bet On It', just after Troy had apologised for being a git, Chad skated over to Ryan and slung his arm across his back. And then they skated to a different part of the rink. And put their arms around each other again. I actually squeaked aloud. RYAN AND CHAD. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.

- RYAN. AND CHAD. ARMS AROUND EACH OTHER. AROUND EACH OTHER. ARMS.

- Ryan's actor understood Ryan! He was sparkly and flamboyant and enthused and fabulous! And all the characters looked fairly like the actors from the films! With the exception of Troy, who, er, didn't.

- 'I Don't Dance' on ice, impressively, manages to be even more homosexual than the original. There's just something about two guys in ice skates twirling closely around each other.

- Ryan and Sharpay were wearing different outfits every time they appeared. And almost all of them were sparkly. It's so Ryan and Sharpay!

- When Ryan was up on the balcony at the back of the rink, spying on 'You Are The Music In Me', he started dancing along. RYAN ♥.

- Did I mention how much I love Ryan and Chad? There is a part of me that just wants to write massive amounts of Ryan/Chad for eternity.

- HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL. ICE DANCING. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE A BRILLIANT COMBINATION?


Whilst I'm speaking about High School Musical, a comment on the third film: Sharpay tells Ryan to ask Kelsi to the prom, as part of a subplot that is abruptly dropped. At first, I thought the abandonment of the plot was just forgetfulness on the part of the writers. It took me a while to realise that the entire purpose of the suddenly-forgotten subplot was to provide an excuse for Ryan to ask a girl to the prom, because he is so homosexual that Disney knew the audience would never buy it without a reason.

I think that's marvellous.

I love Ryan so much. I would rather like to marry him, but he is fictional and I don't think he would really be up for it, given, y'know...
