Wow. Hey! Look at this place! You guys all like Buffy n junk, yeah? Wow.
So, I'm Miracleman, and...
...okay, so I know I haven't been on in a while. School and stuff. But that's over for the next week or so, so here I am, back and bold!
And to start off in my inimitable style...
Does anyone else feel seriously embarrassed for the twenty-somethings that end up being cast on kids' shows? It's horrific! They have to sing really dumb songs through arsenic grimaces and wear colors designed to either keep you safe while hunting or blind any threat that may come at them so they can affect a getaway! I had to watch this bright, spritely young woman pretend to practice to surf (yes, not pretend to actually surf, pretend to practice) while singing some revoltingly saccharine ditty through clenched teeth and a smile that looked like she had hooks in her cheeks attached to lines that ran around the back of her head. Her face was like a cross between Sesame Street and Hellraiser. And all I could think was: "I bet you went to Juilliard, didn't you? You poor, poor, wretched thing."
Oh, and, uh...Merry Xmas or whatever.
I felt sorry for this one kid who was on
Barney
back in the day since he went to a local high school. I hear he got beat up a lot or something.
Miracleman! ::tacklehugs::
I'm not currently watching kids' shows, so I can't really comment on that phenomenon. I am reminded of Michael Rosenbaum's mien before he left Smallville, though being Lex he didn't have to sing or beam. Mostly he just looked really effing bored.

There's no way it's as bad as working as a nanny during the heyday of the purple dinosaur. For a two-year-old who refused to be potty trained.

There's only so many times you can say, "My daddy issues, let me show you them," convincingly.
What is Michael Rosenbaum doing now? He might be less bored, but I hope he's no less solvent. He is sadly less visible.
Vortex, why couldn't she have left the gift at her place so that you could get it when you watered the plants.
Because I'm not supposed to water the plants until the 29th, and I'm leaving for Christmas on the 24th. I didn't want to commit to a special trip just to pick up the gift. If the roads had been normal, fine, but I am trying to stay off of the road unless it's really necessary.
Calling all mOrning, has she? Sounds like someone needs a dose of "Mom, this is 2009. I have caller ID, and I missed the first one. You called twice. Is twice your definition of all morning or do we need to talk to a doctor?"
