WON NANO.

Have a quiz.

You have a wide set of interests, and you make for interesting company. You are witty and dynamic.

You Are a Woman



Like most women are in touch with your emotions, and you believe that crying can be cathartic.

You aren't going to apologize for having a tender heart. You're moved by so much in this world.



You love art and literature. You think stories are important, and you tend to gravitate towards fiction.

≈You love beautiful things, and you have an eye for design. Beauty is important to you, especially your own.




Well. Good to know.

Now: finish eating, then load up the laundry, sit in the laundry room with the laundry and work on NaNo because I am way behind.

What you have:
[x] You own over 10 bottles of nail polish (probably more like 40? *counts* GURG...108...not counting topcoats/nail art stuff.)

You Are Unique



You reveal yourself in time to those closest to you. You think true love takes time.

No matter how old you become, you continue to have a youthful and hopeful energy. You have passion.



You're very sensitive to what's going on around you, yet you remain calm. You don't rock the boat unless you have to.

You are definitely special. You came in to this world with a lot of gifts.




My idea of "toast" is most people's idea of "slightly warm bread." I don't like for it to be all gritty and crunchy.

Day 30: A list with your top 5 moments.

5. Blaine convincing Burt that Kurt needed The Talk.
The fact that he was willing to go through so much awkward because he legitimately cared about his friend, and his friend's safety, before they were even together--wow. I don't think I'd have that much courage. (Reference intended.)

4. The Kliss!
Mark Lowry (a comedian) ruined the phrase "You move me" for me a long time ago. But this has redeemed it, at least partially. =D

3. "I love you." "I love you too."
Because. AWWWWW.

2. Gay marriage becoming legal in New York
It wasn't a Glee moment. But my heart leapt for these two as soon as I heard it was official.

1. "Oh, me too. I've talked to Blaine and he's on board too." (re: college in New York)
This, to me, speaks even more to Klaine's longevity than the I love you's--I love you was something that they'd both been mulling over and probably wanted to say much sooner than they did but were afraid the other didn't, and it's also something that, while a big deal, is easily said. But this, this, means they've been having actual conversations about their futures, and they've come to the conclusion that they want to spend them together. SQUEE!

And that concludes 30 days of Klaine! <3

Day 29: Favourite Criss/Colfer photo.

So that rules out anything where they're in character/in uniform (unless it's obviously a set photo). Hm.



They're both awfully adorable here, even though Darren seems to be sock-phobic. =)

rena_librarian: (Default)
Sometimes I love my life.

Day 27: Favourite Chris photo.


This whole photoshoot (H magazine, evidently?) is beautiful, but--one, I'm a sucker for Chucks+suit, and two, he just looks simultaneously so badass and so happy here. Guh.


Day 28: Favourite Darren photo.

I cannot narrow it down to less than two. How can I explain?

This is the one that I use as album art for his songs in iTunes (that aren't really on an album--stuff I've yoinked from YouTube and such), and is also printed off and hanging over my desk:

And don't get me wrong, I love me some sweet, cute, innocent Darren.

But this is the one that I keep coming back to (and is currently my phone wallpaper):


I fixed this one so that you can click through for fullsize (the other two just are at fullsize), and you really...just should. Really. Really really.

I don't even like hairy men Darren you really are a liferuiner OMG
rena_librarian: (Default)
Urgh. I forgot.

Day 25: Favourite Chris quote about Darren.

Were you surprised that everyone reacted so strongly to Darren Criss?
I think it was so successful because it’s the first time you see Kurt smile, personally. So you’re welcome, Darren…

No, I mean, I was a huge fan of Darren’s, and he doesn’t believe me. He doesn’t believe that I was a huge A Very Potter Musical fan before, even though I quote it all the time and try to convince him, he still doesn’t believe me. He thinks I just did some research on him. So yeah, I definitely was not surprised.

And [Teenage Dream] was such a good song. Like, we heard the arrangement first and I got chills. I thought, ‘This is one of the best songs we’ve ever done.’

Are you hoping he stays on the show long-term?

Yeah! Yeah, he’s fun to have around.



Day 26: Favourite Darren quote about Chris.

Darren's Twitter: 

I...I can't even... We're on a plane with a genius. - Lea Michele, reacting to Chris Colfer's in-flight artwork

(I realize it's Lea speaking, technically, but I think it says something that Darren felt the need to memorialize it and that something is the thing that CrissColfer fic is made of.)

Day 23: Favourite Klaine video.


Because there's no bad way to mix Klaine and Disney. Really.


Day 24: Random quote that describes Klaine.

Why did I draw a blank? WHY?? Ah well, it's random, not favorite, so no shame in a bit of google-fu here...here we go. =D

True love is when you put someone on a pedestal, and they fall - but you are there to catch them.  ~Author Unknown
Because of the whole "Dude, this is pretty much Blaine and the Pips..." after Kurt had idolized him for so long, and then BAM! Blaine realizes he's in love and Kurt still wants him, lol.

You know when you have found your prince because you not only have a smile on your face but in your heart as well.  ~Author Unknown
Because...I didn't put that much thought into until the season was over and I read it in an article somewhere, but before spying on Dalton, Kurt was getting dangerously close to becoming a gay teen suicide statistic. (Not that he isn't strong, but I think it was either Rachel or Mercedes that commented that he was so stressed from Karofsky's bullying that he was starting to lose weight, and not in a good way--even the strongest people have limits.) And then Blaine was there to bring him hope when he needed it most. He may've been texting "Courage," but that wasn't all that Kurt got from it. (And now I feel like writing a fanfic, because, dammit, feelings.)

Day 22: Favourite Klaine fanart.

Oh, Muchacha10, can anyone compare to your Disney-Prince style? I think not.

It was so hard to pick, but I decided to go with her comic: The Proposal. Here's the first part, click it to be taken to the list of all the pages.

 

Sugary sweetness, oh my Gaga.

rena_librarian: (Default)
Day 21: Favourite Klaine eyesex scene.

Oh Lord. Baby It's Cold Outside. Can't go wrong with a classic. I think the most shocking thing about that one is that it didn't end with Blaine's confession of undying love/the Kliss.
rena_librarian: (Default)
Day 20: Favourite Klaine funny scene.

I've been trying really hard to think of a scene where they're just funny, and there really isn't one. It seems to always have a deeper romantic meaning when I think about it. Blaine talking to Burt about Kurt needing the talk? Born from Blaine genuinely caring about Kurt's well-being. Blaine shoving Karofsky? He got the crap beat out of him at Sadie Hawkins so he's knowingly taking a risk just to keep Kurt safe. Kurt freaking out about Pavarotti being sick? A) it's a metaphor for Kurt at Dalton and B) Pavarotti actually did die so maybe Blaine was wrong about him being okay.

Except maybe Blaine waking up in Kurt's bed in Blame Blaine It On the Alcohol. That's pretty much just hilarious. Drunk!Blaine is just...GAH. Love him.

(Well, and the Gap Attack is pretty lulzy, but that's kind of...anti-Klaine.)

Since I was tagged on DA. But I'm not tagging.

TEN THINGS YOU NEVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT ME

1. I'm actually kind of sad about getting a new car. I thought I'd get to drive my first car forever. If I'd won the lottery I'd have gotten it fixed up; if I win it in the future I may well track down another. (I need to buy a lot more tickets if I want that to happen...)

2. As insane as fandom can be, it's always been there for me and kept me sane in the darkest parts of my life. It's been different fandoms through the years, but it doesn't matter: escapism is my coping device. (I wrote my first fanfictions at the tender age of five, not realizing that fandom would come to be An Actual Thing once the internet came to everyone's house.)

3. Even though I am technically very conservative when it comes to the when and who of sex--marriage only, plzkthx--I'm a very sexual person. Lady on the street, freak in the sheets? That's me.

4. Even though they never, never, NEVER play out exactly, I often "rehearse" conversations in my head before I have them. Not just big, news-giving conversations, but random "oh hey" conversations. I worry that when I am old I may remember the way I pre-imagined certain conversations instead of the conversations themselves.

5. I joke about it, but I'm fairly certain that if a shrink got a hold of me, I'd wind up with a diagnosis of mild OCD.

6. I'm pretty sure that if my extended family really knew me, I wouldn't get invited to any more family reunions. I know I wouldn't if they knew what I really thought of them.

7. I like to dress loud--mostly because other people don't. The fact that American society has gotten away from wearing hats is a tragedy to me.

8. If I have even the slightest half-a-spark of interest in someone of the opposite sex, I will imagine what it might be like to be married to them. Despite #3, I don't just mean in a sexual way--I wonder what sort of house we'd have, how we'd split up the chores, whether or not I'd work, all of it. (This applies to celebrity crushes, fictional characters, and legitimate real-life love interests alike.)

9. I'm not sure if the wide variety in my music library indicates that I have no taste, or PERFECT taste. I'd like to think it's the latter.

10. Gainful employment is the only thing standing between me and purple hair. I wish I had had the guts back when I had the job(s) that would've tolerated it.

Day 19: Favourite Blaine hairstyle.

I may have started writing a fanfic about this, actually. Erm.

The hairstyle that Blaine will have in season three. When he transfers to McKinley and is no longer required to conform to a dress code, and therefore spends his summer growing his hair out.



Oh yes. Beats the hell out of helmet hair.

(Also: this is more or less what I draw when I draw Blaine. The helmet hair is hard to draw.)
rena_librarian: (Default)
Day 18: Favourite Kurt hairstyle.

OH, I GET IT. This meme is all about POSTING PICTURES. (I'm okay with this, and with my imageshack account getting filled with Klainey goodness.)




I like it combed this direction, it doesn't make him look younger than he is, like his original hairstyle did. And also it's not too tall here (I'm looking at you, Gershwin Theater Hair).

I'm also a fan of his Born This Way hair, but that's pretty obviously Performance Hair and not practical for everyday. (Not that Kurt's wardrobe is ever accurately described as "practical.")

And on a Glee note (no pun intended), this song is 99% true. The only thing he's got wrong is that the original songs were/are awesome.

rena_librarian: (Default)
So it wasn't that I didn't have time to keep this up while in St. Louis, I just kinda forgot. XD I could've posted after everyone was asleep if nothing else. So, catching up:

Day 14: Favourite Blaine screencap.


Nevermind how clumsily this episode handled bisexuality (I kinda see Kurt's point; bisexuality exists but it doesn't work like that, and I honestly think he was just too angry to articulate it properly--but it would've been nice to see him admit that later), I love it because we got DRUNK!BLAINE. Which is pretty much sober!Darren. XD


Day 15: Favourite Klaine screencap.


I know that there are so many more intimate/romantic moments later, but this is just...beautiful. It's the first moment where Kurt has some legitimate hope that it It Actually Does Get Better. (But Blainey, why are you holding his right hand with your right hand? It's a bit of an awkward pose for running, sweetheart.) And this pairing is all about hope and courage. =) Also Dalton!


Day 16: Favourite Kurt outfit.

I know it's old, but...DUDE. I love that t-shirt.

(Least favorite: Some People! Those PANTS. OMG. Ew.)
rena_librarian: (Default)
Day 12: Favourite Darren quote about Klaine.

I had to use some Google-fu on this (and the last one).

And I'm just going to leave this here:


kla
rena_librarian: (Default)
Day 11: Favourite Chris quote about Klaine.

He was asked when Kurt would be coming back to McKinley.
"I don’t know if I can tell you! It will be fairly soon, if it happens…I might have to take my boyfriend with me, absolutely. We’ll see…he’d be a great accessory for Kurt at McKinley, that’s true."

Which. Yes. WE ALL WANT MORE DARREN AT MCKINLEY. YAY EYE CANDY.


(Yes, I know it's late enough to post Day 12. But I'm not gonna.)
rena_librarian: (Default)
Because I just now realized what I couldn't remember yesterday.

Day 9: Favourite Blaine scene.

Blaine convincing Burt that Kurt needs the talk. Because caring about someone else enough to go through that kind of awkwardness shows a strength of character not many people have.

Day 10: Favourite Klaine scene.

The coffee shop from the season finale. No spoilers because there are some people reading that seriously need to watch it, but if you know, you KNOW. OMG.

Also, again, Baby, It's Cold Outside, because even if they weren't together at that point, they're both just oozing "OMG I really dig you" chemistry. =D

And also also Blaine shoving Karofsky. There's no way Blaine wouldn't've gotten the shit kicked out of him had Santana not cooled things off, but the fact that he was willing to protect Kurt was just--ahhhhhhhh. Doubly so in light of what happened to him at his Sadie Hawkins dance.

And pretty much every time they're on screen together, it's a good thing--except the Gap Attack and the scenes leading up to it. (In my head, Blaine sings that song to Kurt at some point, to apologize to him for not singing it to him the first time. That might be a fanfic someday.)
rena_librarian: (Default)
Day 8: Favourite Kurt scene.

Limiting this to non-song scenes (Rose's Turn, in context of the show, would probably be it otherwise) and trying to think of a whole scene and not just one of his many, many one-liners that make whatever scene they're in.

So...Kurt coming out to Burt, I think. It was the scene that made me realize that oh hey, this show ISN'T just an excuse for a group of attractive people to cover pop songs. And also Burt is the Greatest Dad Ever.
