SVU #52: Fooling Around

Dec 01, 2009 01:19

Since Jessica's running after some dude who doesn't seem to be interested in her, and since Elizabeth's still Elizabeth, I'd put my money on the title of this book being extremely misleading. Although, turn the book over and the back reads, in big block letters, "IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK." Odd. What's not what I think? The stupid title? I don't ( Read more... )

Ugh, SAM. I recapped his Secret Love Diary a year or more ago and I still feel violated.

I was going to make a list of characters in this book I loathe, but it's much easier to make a list of characters I liked:

Neil

(... Patrick Harris? How cool would that be?)

Your Neil Patrick Harris reference = the definition of WIN. :)

Elizabeth is trying to study at home, but Sam has his friend, "who for some reason was named Bugsy," over.
Haha, yay! I made the same observation about how stupid the name "Bugsy" is in my recap of the SVU book 'The First Time'.
She corrects herself when she calls Tristan by his first name, and then addresses him as Mr. Patterson. I find that funny, because at my university we call our tutors by their first names. And our lecturers as well. Maybe that's just crazy Australia for you.
Yeah, so did I...crazy Australia! Incidentally, I have a friend whose last name is Patterson, but I just call him Patto. I guess that's Australia for you.

They're talking about Jessica and Tristan, only Jess won't give them any details, I guess because dating a TA is, like, against the rules? I don't know. Buffy did it.
And the whole government-engineered secret demon-fighting society plot of that Buffy season probably wouldn't be out of place in Sweet Valley - yikes!

She also hilariously describes Finn as being "unjerklikeHAHAHAHAHA, see my ( ... )

Tyra Banks was indeed in Coyote Ugly. Seems unlikely, but it is. I think I was too busy watching Adam Garcia and listening to that damn catchy Leann Rimes 'moonlight' song.

I have indeed read your 'First Time' recap, and think we must assemble some sort of anti-PRUDE task force. Glad you had the same thoughts about stupid Bugsy, although I must admit that the "who for some reason was named Bugsy" quote is actually Elizabeth's.

And would you believe it -- I have a friend whose last name is Patton, but we call him Patto as well! We may just be soulmates!

I will probably sound like Creepy Chloe but your recaps are fast becoming my favourite thing in the world and I'm having a blast reading them all.

It is very disappointing that the book doesn't specificy what the 'fooling around' refers to, especially when it claims to know what we think it is.

I also really think that Elizabeth is asexual. It's probably because she's meant to be the good girl who saves herself for marriage but I'm seeing her more and more as someone who is just happy not having sex.

Finn says he'll take her to a Cajun restaurant, and Liz thinks how cool it is to date a sophisticated older guy who does exciting things like eat food from a different country.

A+++++++

Hehe, you could never be a Creepy Chloe! It's always nice to see one of those emails whenever someone comments one of my LJ posts!

I think you're right about Elizabeth. There's only one book I can think of (The Price of Love) where I remember her even admitting that she's curious about it at all.

"Todd's the one touching Piper Perabo's butt."
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! My eyes, they can't unsee that!! I'm scarred!

"Dana Upshaw, as imagined by hellobrisvegas."
She looks like she belongs on the Brady Bunch...maybe as Alice's long-lost daughter? Hmm....or Mike Brady's illegitimate daughter. Now there's an interesting idea...

I'm glad you're an Aussie because you may get this reference, when Jess mentioned Tristian was such a "man's name" I totally lost it cause it reminded me of Seachange where Craig was pretending to be gay to get Miranda interested in him and his father Bob turns to Barry and says "is Tristan a gay name?" Ah poor homophobic Bob Jelly:)
