Entry 9
I know we're doing those prompt things, but I need to say something first. OH MY FREAKING GAGA! I'M GETTING TO SING A DUET WITH BLAINE FOR INVITATIONALS! I'm so excited! We're singing the arrangement of "Animal" that we sang back in Dalton. Mr. Shue said that he thought it was a great arrangement, and catchy! We're performing it tomorrow though, which means I don't have time to talk about it. I need to go practice!
Kurt
Congratulations Kurt. I'll make sure to go to invitationals so I can see it. : )
Miss. Brown
Maybe I'll come too.
Dave
Don't bother if you're going to be an ass.
Kurt.
I know Kurt is busy being excited about his invitational thing, so I'm going to do the prompt. Maybe he'll do it eventually. I don't know. It isn't my problem or anything. Today's prompt was "How do you want people to see you?"
I want people to see me as a strong person who can't be pushed around. Most people do see me as that, since I deliver all kinds of punishment to those who don't. However, I don't want to be seen like that Clementi guy in the book you gave me Miss Brown.
I'm not sure what to think of that book. That Lani kid is pretty faggy, and seems like he deserves to be treated how he is since he flaunts it… But at the same time, people shouldn't be so douchey to him. I mean, he didn't really do anything to anyone. He was just being who he is.
Dave
Kind of like I'm just being who I am, yet I get tossed in the dumpster every day?
Kurt
That's different... You're not Lani.
Dave
"What Happened to Lani Garver" is one of my personal favorites. I'm glad you're enjoying it. As far as how you want people to see you, you need to consider whether you'd rather be liked or respected. Sometimes you can't have both.
Miss Brown.
I forgot to do the prompt! Alright, so "How would you like to be seen?" I'd like all of the people in the closet to see me as an example of a gay person who can be in a loving, normal relationship, and be very happy. In this area, it seems impossible for that to be true, but it is! Maybe more people would come out if they had an example to follow. Just like Harvey Milk said. "You've gotta give them hope!"
Kurt
Who's Harvey Milk?
Dave
The first openly gay politician
Kurt
Of course you'd quote him.
Dave
It's good to want to set an example for people, but please be careful. People can be cruel.
Miss Brown.
So, I spent most of today with Blaine, and I saw him writing something. I asked him what it was, and here's what it said.
"I hate how you gossip.
I hate how you rag on yourself.
I hate how you lose your temper.
I hate how when you get upset you shut down.
I hate how when I ask what's wrong, you never tell me what.
I hate how much I miss you when I have to go home for the weekend.
But..
I love how you smile every time I get your coffee order right.
I love how nervous you act around my parents. It's adorable
I love how you fidgeted around right before our first kiss.
I love how excited you get before a show.
I love how passionate you are about everything you do.
I love how you aren't afraid of being yourself.
I love how smart you are, and that you know it.
I love how you spend way too much time on your hair and face.
I love how you dress.
I love how you kiss. (Seriously, it's awesome)
I love how you get that guilty grin when we get caught kissing on your couch.
I love how you try to pretend to like football when I watch it.
And since my love list is longer than my hate.
I must love you."
Let's just say, this made it hard to practice the rest of the time he was over. ;)
Kurt
I saw that in one of his journal entries. I'm surprised he showed it to you. He thought it was too gushy.
Miss. Brown.
Did you really have to show us this? Now all I can picture is you two kissing. It's gross.
Dave
You didn't seem to have a problem with my kissing in the boys' locker room.
Kurt
Shut the hell up.
Dave
I thought you boys were starting to get along. Please don't tell me we're back to square one.
Miss. Brown.
