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...

I REALLY WANT TO SEE IT NOW

oh, ryan, ilu.

[rionaleonhart]

My love for Ryan is ridiculous. He is just so amazing! I want a Ryan of my very own!

There's just tomorrow in London, and then I think all the tour locations are fairly northern, unfortunately, but you could take a look and see whether any seem plausible.

I AM SO JEALOUS

...if this doesn't come out on DVD, I will kill someone.

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

I think it makes it so much better going with friends. To this. I'm sure you were all hilarious XD

Going to work for Disney soon, and I'm sure there will be HSM everywhere. I'll see what adventures I can have.

Ryan and Sharpay are my favourite characterzz, and I dislike the mains (i.e. Gabriella, and sort of Troy but not really because he's Zac Efron) with the passion of a thousand burning suns. This HSM On Ice sounds interesting... but it's rather England. DAMN.

[bubbles-san.livejournal.com]

RYAN! He is great, isn't he? He's just so sparkly and fabulous. I confess that I only watched the first HSM movie because it seemed interesting, and I confess to hating half the main cast, but I've always had a weakness for Lucas Grabeel.

I was going to send you a link to 'Mom's Got a Date With a Vampire' because I've spent the last several years thinking that the lead male (child) was Lucas, but it turns out not. (Which is a shame, because that movie also has 'Aunt Hilda' from Sabrina, which would have been an awesome combination.)

Anyway, he is in this movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZiA0qXcgyk), which is amazing. He comes in about 9 minutes in complaining about an armadillo eating his backpack. (There's also a guy that looks a little bit like that manip of Sam Winchester with Dean's face. Odd.)

Somewhat off topic, but I appear to be working with your long-lost twin! (Seriously, I thought she was you for a minute).

THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE APPARENTLY SEEN CLONES OF ME SERIOUSLY

[th-esaurus.livejournal.com]

There is a part of me that just wants to write massive amounts of Ryan/Chad for eternity.

This part of you is very wise and you should listen to it.

[lo0o0ony-lauren.livejournal.com]

Your life is actually becoming a crackfic. Doubles! If you wake up tomorrow in the body of a man, we'll all know to blame The Stig The...Trickster?

[sparklenight.livejournal.com]

You are welcome, and congratulations to your brother!

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you had a good Christmas!

[rionaleonhart]

You're going to work for Disney? That's amazing! YOU MUST TELL ME ALL OF YOUR HSM ADVENTURES.

[rionaleonhart]

Do I win? I think I do.

[rionaleonhart]

RYAN AND SHARPAY ARE THE BEST EVER. I do sort of like Gabriella and Troy and their relationship, though. I can't help it. They are terribly cute.

[rionaleonhart]

That icon just made me smile enormously. They should not be so cute! How am I supposed to keep myself from writing completely irredeemable fluff?

[th-esaurus.livejournal.com]

Chad/Ryan somehow demands irredemable fluff. I just want to write about them living together and being ~*boyfriends*~ and Ryan helping Chad get over his not being able to walk-ness (this has somehow become canon in my head) and Troy in the background going wot.

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

Yup! I leave in about a month. Winter in Florida~

XD one of my roommates actually loves HSM and asked me what I thought about it. ALL I KNOW, YOU HELPED ME LEARN.

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

Judging by the last picture I saw, the last time she was genderswapped she grew a mustache and went on to star in a series of movie with Johnny Depp, Kiera Knightley, and Geoffrey Rush. Which seems like a sensible way of dealing with things.

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

Hooray for your brother! That is awesome!

Did you see the latest Wossy fic? Tell me you saw the latest Wossy fic. It seems to have been written specifically for you.

[bouncywild.livejournal.com]

I'M SO JEALOUS YOU GOT TO SEE HSM ON ICE!! I'LL JUST KEEP MYSELF HAPPY WITH THE DVDS AND LET THE GAY LOVE WASH OVER ME. BAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!

[reipan.livejournal.com]

I still say Ryan and Kelsi become awesome gay friends. I don't ship Kelsi with anybody in particular, but I can see them hanging out together late at night, talking about their failed love lives...

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST KEEP ON SEEING STUFF WITHOUT ME. CAN'T YOU HAVE THE DECENCY TO PUT YOUR LIFE ON HOLD UNTIL I COME BACK? JEEZ.

[reipan.livejournal.com]

Oh - congratulations to your brother. I am glad that your Christmas was lovely.
