These Are My Confessions.
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.
But I don't, and Dayter isn't, and I'm not, so I can't.

However, Chris Colfer (Kurt) just got nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. That's pretty impressive for a guy who's doing his first professional acting job. He did say he deserves an Emmy for slushing himself, though. Maybe he'll get it.
If you want another tiny fandom to support with you writing,

And I don't think anyone ships Kurt/Burt. Just the idea makes my soul cry.
Mark Salling, the guy who plays Puck, has a tendency to reference slash in his twitter and interviews. He linked Chris Colfer to a Puck/Kurt fanvid, saying "They're onto us!" and requested some Puck/Artie vids, because the ship name would be Partie.
(I'm still cringing over the fact that the show itself mentioned the ship name Puckleberry.)
no subject
I LOVE HIM
I also love those Salling stories. 'Partie' is hilariously awful.

Will is so incredibly inappropriate in that song. I love the dance number and the singing, but Will is acting in a way that is so not okay for a high school teacher when with his students!
Kurt mouthing "Oh my God" really makes the scene. *loves her Kurt so much*
How long until you watch Wheels?
no subject
'Wheels' is the next episode, I believe!
no subject
Wheels is a great episode! One of my absolute favorites.
Going in, you should know that Chris Colfer's school had a talent show every year, and every year, he would beg to sing Defying Gravity from Wicked, but they always told him he couldn't because it's traditionally sung by a girl.

You've given me a craving for chocolate buttons now (not metaphorical ones).
no subject
I have also been craving chocolate buttons since writing this entry and am sadistically glad that I have inflicted it upon someone else.
no subject
I think you owe me some chocolate buttons now. ;D
no subject
This is the only Glee icon I have and I'm using it despite its inappropriateness because Kurt is just so FIERCE.

There's definitely a lot that's parodic in Glee, but I'll confess that I'm watching mostly for the fluff aspect.
no subject
Also UNCLE IROH IS THE SINGLE GREATEST AND MOST AWESOME CHARACTER IN THE HISTORY OF TELEVISION!
no subject
I love Katara kind of a lot right now.

(That mashup is a favourite of mine, too.)
