App Will Schuester so we can run the camp Glee club together and I will totally come up with new and creative ways to give you a headache every single week before having to run off to use the little boy's room. LOOK AT HOW HAPPY HE IS!

Dec. 16th, 2010 04:33 amHELLO FRIENDS.
I am currently fighting with revenge of the dental issues. Not fun. I have sucked it up and decided to schedule the appointment to hopefully knock the majority of this crap out ASAP, but in the meantime, I will be slow with threads and will probably drop a bunch. I apologize in advance! Please bear with me as I get this crap sorted. I hope that will be before the holiday, but if it extends past that, I will throw up a post on this journal for holiday threadings and whatnot. I'm staying at my parents' from now through the holidays, though, and they are taking care of me, so this will alleviate that somewhat. But I will still be "ish" due to family time.
SINUSITIS IS NOT AS BAD AS DENTAL HELL. Still here and there, still prone to maybe pass out randomly due to the crap I'm taking for it, but that's more par for course for me, so there we go.
This applies to Jesse St. James, Iwasawa Asami, and Jeff Winger.

Dec. 9th, 2010 09:15 amMy characters and gifts — ha ha haaaa. Jeff does not give them out, Iwasawa will have something or other for the members of the SSS that I will figure out at some point, and Jesse is ... Jesse. I will do a list for Jesse and put it up at some point within the next couple weeks, and if people want to thread stuff out, I would be happy to do so. ♥
But more importantly, the purpose behind this post — this is a jumping meme. I feel comfortable in doing this since I have three characters that are not in any danger of being dropped, okay. And with winter breaks and whatnot coming up, there's the opportunity for new CR! Good times. I'd really like to get some more relationships outside of her cast for Iwasawa, expand Jesse's horizons, and just do terrible things with Jeff, so!
Jesse St. James is a self-confident theater kid that can occasionally cross the "damn you're crazy" line at times. Music is his thing! People, not so much. His social skills leave much to be desired and he is a complete divo, but he's working on that, okay. His life is full of drama.
Iwasawa Asami has been described by the SSS as a "cool beauty." She's quiet, focused on her music, and a little awkward during discussions that have nothing to do with that. She is also a secret music jesus-type, apparently. She is terse for the most part! and whatnot.
Jeff Winger is a bigger douchebag than Jesse. He's super snarky and a leader-type! ish. If you want a bad influence, he is your man. Very rarely, he can be a quasi good influence.
COME TO ME. It could be fun.

ENOUGH OF THAT. I am chilling for the day, Iwasawa has been getting settled while Jesse sped past 14k recently, aaand I saw this meme going around earlier in the week. I finally finished the communal relationship meme, so I can do this, okay.
ASK A QUESTION it can be anything CFUD related, OOC, IC, Relationship, psychology, thoughts, whatever. I.E. My character's opinion of your character or maybe what you have been wondering about this behavior or that, or general thoughts on my characters or canons or what, who I might consider topping you into apping, etc.
WHEN I REPLY I will also ask you a question in turn!

Good times.
The choice for Terri's VA is perfect. Perfect. I love it on so many levels.

Sep. 11th, 2010 07:59 pmThe DVDs come out on Tuesday, which means I am doing the icon shuffle over the next week or so. I've also been replacing some of my icons with stuff by other makers et all, so. While I've tried to keep keywords intact, some old threads will be borked. So it goes!
crab ... shuffle ...
crab ... shuffle ...at least they acknowledge it.
Aug. 18th, 2010 12:36 pmThe Emmys are in a couple weeks! ... the Glee crew had a little too much fun with their ad campaign.

May. 18th, 2010 07:20 pmrecurrence: If I apped Jesse, I honestly couldn't see him spamming it up all over the place.... whoops. I HONESTLY THOUGHT MY PRIMARY WOULD BE HEISUKE. Anyway, this is that big fat essay on Jesse that I've been wanting to do for awhile but had to wait for canon confirmation on things. And now that I have it, here we are!

May. 2nd, 2010 03:16 pm[Do you know how long it takes to get from Lima, Ohio to Camp Fuck You Die, Louisiana by car? Roughly fifteen hours. If you are a dumb jock and a divo, however, it probably takes a lot longer. ... a lot longer. But lo and behold, a clunker of a car comes putting down the highway, making its way towards the outskirts of one (1) infamous zombie camp.

Apr. 30th, 2010 07:11 pmJESSE ST. JAMES
Age: 17 — high school senior.
Medical Info: Perfectly healthy and normal!
What's Okay To Mention Around Him/Her: Anything is fine.
Abilities: Jesse is well-known in the Glee universe for being a talented singer et all, so he's pretty good! He's the lead singer for Vocal Adrenaline, the group that took Nationals for three years straight.
Notes for the Psychics: HA HA HA, please ping me about this one. What you see is definitely not what you get. He has this drive for success and perfection, but it's also clear he's slowly working through stuff. Rachel Berry is on his mind a lot. I will note that he's drastically different in his head than the front he shows to the world. There's a lot more going on beneath the surface. Like I said, please ping me if there is psychic stuff going on and I would be happy to detail stuff!
CAN I DO NICE THINGS? (i.e. hugging, kissing, etc): YES, OF COURSE, Jesse is a touchy sort and will have no problem with it.
CAN I BE ABUSIVE?: ... actually, yes. Contact me if it is super serious but I will likely just say "party on." 8D
CAN I FOURTH WALL?: I am actually going to say no on this. ♥
Maim/Murder/Death: Nope. :( I am okay with some injury, but death and Glee do not really mix.
Cooking: ... I really don't know. Mmmmmaybe? HE'S JESSE ST. JAMES!

Character: Jesse St. James
Series: Glee
Character Age: 17
Canon: In the TV show Glee, high school show choir is Serious Business and god help you if you tell anyone in the series otherwise. The show follows a glee club director who brings a scrappy bunch of high school students together to make them into a formidable group known as "New Directions". With Rachel Berry, the group's overbearing diva, as the lead female singer, New Directions seems destined for success as they head towards Regionals. However, they face stiff competition from the reigning National champion - the cutthroat Vocal Adrenaline, a group so dedicated to performing that some of the members are rumored to be taking HGH. In other words? They're kind of scary intense. Their lead vocalist is Jesse St. James, a charismatic young man and Rachel's newest love interest.
As a self-described "drama queen", Jesse St. James loves himself and thinks he is amazingly awesome. However, he has every reason to believe this; he does, after all, have a full ride to UCLA, a coveted lead position in a top-ranking glee club, massive popularity, and a three year winning streak at Nationals. While he's completely confident in his abilities, Jesse can come off as intense and even over the top, referencing musicals to refer to his state of mind or challenging a rival for "his girl" to a sing-off in the parking lot. He's a theater kid through and through, and makes no apologies for who he is. But unlike Rachel, who carries similar qualities, Jesse's passion has made him popular in his school. While Jesse had his sights set on taking Nationals for a fourth time, he suddenly fell for Rachel and went as far as to transfer to her school (and glee club!) so that they could openly be together. Is it possible that Jesse is too good to be true?

Sample Post:
Hi, I'm Jesse St. James. You might have heard of me, even out here in the sticks: three-time national champion as the lead vocalist in Vocal Adrenaline, the nation's most distinguished show choir? Please, I know you're all in awe, but I'm going to have to ask you to pick up your jaws - you're going to need those. You see, I like to do community service because it's my gift to the public, and UCLA had a few suggestions for me in terms of where my abilities would be best suited. That's the university I'm going to in the fall - it's in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure they got their "LA"s mixed up since I somehow ended up out here instead of somewhere around there. But who am I to turn down an opportunity like this? Particularly when you're clearly desperately in need of my assistance.
So, what am I going to be helping all of you with? Well, it's rather simple - I'm going to offer you my expertise as a professional vocalist and reconnect you to the joys of music. As the sage Andrew Lloyd Webber once said, "love never dies", and neither does a passion for music, despite your current undead state. And while it's fairly clear that some of you are ... lacking in some physical respects as performers, I'm not the kind of guy who will judge you because of that. Let's have a quick show of hands. How many of you still have your tongues intact? Okay, good. The rest of you who don't, step to the side. While I'm afraid there's not much I can do with your singing if you're missing a vital body part, you still have potentially promising futures as back-up dancers. Just wait here for a bit - I've got an idea for a routine that involves Britney Spears, sparklers, and synchronised scapula spinning.
Alright. As for the rest of you, let's get started. The key to being a great performer is to feel your material, to emotionally connect to it. For example, what drives you? What makes you thirst an almost unquenchable thirst? What makes you long with the passion of a thousand suns to the point where your heart feels as though it could burst through your chest? What is that one thing? ... of course, brains. I do realize that you're all zombies and this means you have more obstacles to overcome than most normal human beings aside from philistines and director Chris Columbus. However, I was hoping you'd be a little less Stephen Sondheim and a little more Rodgers and Hammerstein circa Oklahoma!.
We can work with this, though. Consider the passion you have for that grey matter and channel that into the song itself. Whatever it is, you must sell it to your audience. Let them feel the longing that you feel when you stare stoically at a sizable cerebellum, the anger that simmers in the depths of your soul as well as the scraps of your stomach. And once you've integrated that into your very mind, an excellent show face can only magnify its effect on your audience. With a wide-eyed smile and emotion oozing from every pore you still have, anyone can believe that the words emanating from the melody that you emit come from your unbeating heart. Come on now, let's give it a spin. Okay everyone, look alive!
... Oh, right. Well, we can't have everything, can we? Still, let's work with what we've got. From the top!
