If I knew a person with the surname 'Dayter', and if this Dayter were planning to go out for a meal with someone, and if I happened to be informing another party of this, I could express it in the terms 'Dayter's gonna date'.

But I don't, and Dayter isn't, and I'm not, so I can't.


In unrelated news, Glee is such fun! It's not a great work of televisual fiction, but it doesn't try to be, so I don't hold that against it. Watching an episode is like eating a packet of chocolate buttons; it's not especially nutritious or filling, but you certainly enjoy it whilst you're doing it.

Thus far, I have metaphorically eaten six metaphorical packets of metaphorical chocolate buttons, and they have been delicious. I find myself really liking Will/Emma, which is odd, because usually I shy away from pairings that the canon is obviously trying to make me 'ship. I'd have expected the contrary beast within me to go 'YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO; I'M 'SHIPPING WILL/RACHEL'. Which I also do.

(I seem to be in quite a hetshipping phase at the moment, don't I? Will/Emma, Will/Rachel, Mitchell/Hawes, Jane/Coren, Jane/Van Pelt. Although I suppose the Jane pairings are cheating, given that I 'ship him with everyone.)

Still not experiencing any desire to get involved in the Glee fandom, though. I hope that doesn't change; I think I'd actually feel sort of guilty if I abandoned all my barely-written-for fandoms for one that already has thousands of writers. (Actually, with a cast that seems to be consciously composed almost entirely of stereotypes, I'm having trouble imagining how I would even go about writing for it. These aren't characters! I can't be invested in them!)

I am massively enjoying the musical numbers. A particular favourite is the drug-enhanced performance of the It's My Life/Confessions mashup, only in part because Finn's facial expressions are hilarious.
