I keep failing Morning 101

Jul 13, 2010 12:45

Yesterday morning I woke up late, put on a dress I hated, left my house without packing lunch, and still arrived at work 6 minutes late. Two hours later my face felt like BP failed to cap the oil leak supplying my pores, I was horrified and uncomfortable in my outfit and I couldn't focus worth a damn. Come 11:30 I drove home, took a shower, changed ( Read more... )

Jeremy Ten is ADORABLE. I added him on a whim on twitter and have not regretted a single second of it. This flirting with Jeremy is recent but dear God, do I approve. I'm still really focused on Johnny/ Stéphane but lately bizarro pairings like the Jeremy's, and Adam Rippon/Brian Joubert are becoming total cravings. I need to figure out their respective height differences for maximum perving.

And right? I feel like if Johnny was as blah about Stéphane as he is about Evan I'd have as easy a time being like, "This is all flights of fancy." I mean people ask him outright shippy questions about Evan and he's just "::eyeroll:: not really" about it and then they ask him about Stéphane, who he has MADE A POINT OF SAYING HE CONSIDERS A FRIEND SEVERAL TIMES and suddenly it's all "I don't even like him that much." Which okay, fine. I could accept that they're not BFFs or something. But then to each time be photographed or taped with Stéphane shortly after quite obviously enjoying his company just makes it all weird and it's HUMAN NATURE TO DEVELOP THEORIES.

So now I have theories and feel crazy.

Don't feel crazy, it's what we do in fandom. :)

Johnny is so funny about certain things. Like, I really believe that the more he tries to downplay something, the more it means to him. He does that about a lot of things, and therefore I can only conclude that he LOVES STEPHANE A LOT.

And oh, random pairings. I'm pretty much up for shipping Adam Rippon with many people, especially since that bus video where he showed his evil (but still completely presh!) side.

Johnny is one of the hardest to understand people I've ever been a fan of. How he can all at once be too honest for his own good, and then say wildly contradictory things from one moment to the next is baffling to me. I'm getting used to it in as much 95% of the time I just roll my eyes and go "Oh Johnny" but the Stéphane was a little "D: face" inducing, I'll admit. I just needed a little boost to make 100% sure that Johnny and Stéphane still caused each other big heart eyes every time they find themselves in the same place.

(As if anyone could resist Stéphane's charms.)

And I don't think I realized how truly secretive Stéphane is. He seems so Pollyanna-like in interviews that he'd just LOVE to tell you about everyone he loves and hugs and loves to hug but then no one knows anything about the people he's been with since 2005. Like even that Aunt Joyce person (who I dislike) will only toss out a vague "idk, he's slutty?" which isn't all that impressive.

WHY isn't there more Adam Rippon slash? He's begging for it. I want fond but restrained Adam/Stéphane, clique-ish Adam/Jeffrey Buttle, and sexually frustrated Adam/Brian Joubert. STAT!

Yeah, Johnny makes a huge show of being open and saying whatever comes to his mind, etc., but he also hides A LOT. He's very much like a magician with the way he will redirect people's attention away from the things he doesn't want to give up. He's completely fascinating to me for this reason.

And oh, Stephane. The more I realize that he's a big giant secret, the more curious I am about him. No body knows anything about his ring, right? He's a puzzle.

No wonder I'm a zebraswan shipper! I love a mystery.

Oh no, totally. The post-Olympics episode he TOLD everybody about how he cried about the results but we never once saw him crying. For a reality TV show Be Good Johnny Weir is actually surprisingly devoid of tears. He'll get caught in the Kiss and Cry when the emotions can't be controlled but when he talks in interviews? The name of the game is control.

It's another way they're both alike. But flipped a bit. Whereas Stéphane will OPENLY SOB about things IN FRONT of cameras and be like, "What? I'm sensitive" when asked about it. Like, totally acknowledging his inability to control his emotions. But then you ask him about a ring (an expensive ring designed with fidelity in mind) and he'll shrug and be like, "It's just a ring" and devote a pretty concerted amount of energy to making sure that no one knows who he's been with.

It's like overt control vs. secret control. Riddles wrapped in enigmas, these boys. :: <3's them::
