In Sunday School today, the second-graders were learning about transubstantiation (bread --> body, wine --> blood). It's a very nice morning, so they were very very excitable.

DELANEY: So basically the priest is making crackers into Jesus so why does he...and so all the parents are eating Jesus that seems weird...also, why is it circle-y?

CANAVAN: If I put a piece of bread in the air, is it Jesus?

Somehow we got sidetracked into a conversation about marriage. It'd be helpful to know that David is the other aid in the classroom.

DELANEY: You know you're dead 'til you're married.
MR. F: No, Delaney. You're alive, and everyone else here is alive, and I'm the only one married.
EVAN: But...but Katie and David are married, right?
KATIE, DAVID: Uh, no.
DELANEY: Also if you have an "M" on your hand you're gonna get married.
KATIE, DAVID, and EVAN simultaneously look at their hands, chuckle.
MR. F: Where do you learn this stuff?
DELANEY: My sister. She's smart.

And then we had a chat about our parish.

MR. F: Does anyone know what a parish is?
BEN: When you die.
MR. F: Perish? That's pretty close, buddy. One letter off.

And about nuns.

MASON: Am I a nun?

Twenty-four of them. Photos used not part of any production images for bare, but manipulated to fit. :) Text icons from Damon Intrabartolo and Jon Hartmere's bare: a pop opera.

A two-year-old and her father are shopping in Target, walking past the underwear section.

GIRL, POINTING TO LACY LINGERIE: For you, Daddy?
DAD: No, hon.

SHE DID MOST OF THE WORK. XD

She has ~mad baking skillz~.

LOL, Glee. You are corny and ridiculous and I love it.

Also, Puck. Never change.

And on an unrelated note, A Day in the Life of Matt Doyle, which is a really adorable photo essay.


OVERALL, TODAY HAS BEEN GREAT.

Groff's gonna be on Glee!



Life = made.

I'm an assistant in a second grade Sunday school class, and it is hilarious.

MR. F: So, where did Adam and Eve live?
JOSEPH: Earth?
MR. F: Well, yes.
CANAVAN: Above the ground?
MR. F: No, on Earth.
DELANEY: In a tunnel?
MR. F: No, not in a tunnel.
MASON: Italy?

The question is: Shame. What is its origin? And why are we hounded by its miserable shadow?


( Cut for Lucas Grabeel, Matt Doyle, Gossip Girl, etc. )

Learning about the African slave trade is making me absolutely sick and extremely angry. Just. I can't even put into words how. No.




Equality, it is a great thing. It is an important thing. It is something that everyone on this planet needs to strive for every single day.




Hair was dark yesterday because they were marching in Washington. Groff joined them to sing "Let the Sun Shine In". There were more than 150,000 people there.

Judy Shepard's speech broke my heart.


p.s. dillon you are a hater xoxo your pal katie

The cast of Hair and many, many others are marching for equality. Send good thoughts! Gavin Creel on Twitter, Equality Across America dot Org, Broadway Impact

Stole the link from Krista, and it's really just heartbreaking.

Firstly, happy birthday to Hermione Granger. :)

Secondly, I'd like to share a fanfiction with y'all that may be the cutest thing I've ever read. It was written by a five-year-old girl named Caroline, and is entitled Kirk Loves Spock. A note from thyla.com on the story: This was written by the next-door neighbor of one of our fans. The young tyke reportedly picked up on K/S all on her own, stunning her fan neighbor, Ebony, who promptly showed her this site. And then she wanted to write her own... well, we're now truly an all-ages site, I suppose!

Kirk loves Spock, and that is a fact, and it's not gross, so shut up. You know, my big girl friend Eby, she's learning about law, and they say that you can make fun of people who are in love, but have the same privates. But anyway, here's my story.

Kirk and Spock were going to see a movie. They went to see Finding Nemo. I really like that movie. They got popcorn and went into the big movie room (Eby calls in a the-a-tahr) They fed each other popcorn, and everybody thought it was really cute. Then the movie started. Spock thought it was illogical, cause fish don't talk. But Kirk thought it was cute, cause he likes movies with fish.

When the movie was over, they were walking around the fountain (Eby's note: The theater where we live has one and she assumes that all theaters do) and Spock looked at Kirk and said "I'd do the same for you."

Kirk stopped walking. "What do you mean?"

"What Marlin did for Nemo. If we were a fish (which they ain't,) I would have search the whole ocean for you. But we work in space. If you got lost, I'd search all of space for you."

Kirk smiled. "I'd do the same." (And he does. But that's another story, anyways)

And then they kissed, and everybody said "Awww!" And that is my story.

EPISODE 3.

(A) If a show mentions fanfiction, it is automatically stellar. Dude.

(B) VICTOR. GARBER. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. A MILLION TIMES YES.

(C) Mercedes. What a sweetheart. I want her to be my friend. She is adorable. Amber Riley's voice is just...adikjsakld. So stunning.

(D) TELL IT, RACHEL. GO FOR IT.

(E) PUCK IS MY FAVORITE. HE IS VERY NICE LOOKING.

(F) F is for Finn, who is freaking fantastic. Way to stick up for Mr. Schue, bb.

(G) MATTHEW MORRISON. ♥♥♥

(H) I love that the Glee kids are all BFF and are like, "WE ARE LOSERS AND HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER." They understand each other. :D Yay Glee! Glee kids hurray!

(I) AW, KURT. I cannot wait for the Single Ladies episode. Like, for realsies, babe.

(J) Bitch plz, Quinn. Keep on being totally awesome. She is fantastic, and so is Sue Sylvester. Lolariousness.

(K) JOSH GROBAN. OMG. JOSH GROBAN.


"If by 'someone' you mean the tender crook of my elbow."

LUCAS GRABEEL IS TOTALLY AWESOME AND SUPERMEGAFOXYAWESOMEHOT.


Lucas Grabeel pops out of a box on stage at the Southland Theatre Artists Goodwill Event (S.T.A.G.E.) in Beverly Hills on Sunday evening (March 22).

The 24-year-old actor belted out George and Ira Gershwin’s “I Can’t Be Bothered Now.” S.T.A.G.E. is the longest continuously running AIDS benefit in the world and has raised more than $5 million for HIV/AIDS services throughout Southern California.


Also, whoa, can this boy sing. Dude. Dudedudedude. I love singers. They are amazing.

This photo totally reminded me of Angel in that hand-moving sort of way. (lolwut) Only WTF is going on with the hat and the suit. I don't even know.

I so added the icon just for this, in case you were wondering. Or, rather, in case you wanted your immediate thoughts of "lol k8e u loozer" to be confirmed. High School Musical continues to crack me up, what else is new.

ALSO, THIS FIC IS HILARIOUS. Troy, Chad, Avenue Q. I BET YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT SONG IS INVOLVED.


OTHER NEWS:
Black Like Me was a completely excellent book that I recommend to everyone. The utter humanity and inhumanity in it is astonishing, and it's such a heartbreaking look at our country; how bad it was, how far we've come, and how far we still have to go. I am so completely offended that people acted like that, and that people still act like that. It's inexcusable and just complete moral akjdskaljdlska.


On a semi-related note, it's great that we all have the right to ice cream. Four for you, Ben & Jerry's.

Alright, so purpureal and I watched all three High School Musicals yesterday. (calloohxcallay watched the first one and also the baseball scene like three times.)

I am completely unashamed to say that I really enjoy all three of them. I grew out of the bratty "omg hell naw high skool musical!!1" stuff, and I've come to appreciate the movies for the sugary, cutesy movies that they are. They're not trying to be groundbreaking or thought-provoking. The plot is nonexistent, the characters are underdeveloped and overdramatic, the songs are lame, but they are silly, adorable movies. And if Zac Efron can still be ridiculously charming while snapping and dancing around on a golf course like a fool, he is straight-up amazing. These movies are about BEING YOURSELF and BEING KIND TO OTHERS and SINGIN'-AND-DANCIN' and WORKING TOGETHER and ZAC EFRON. Seriously, the message is good, especially for the small kids watching it who weren't brats like me.

And these movies really couldn't be more charming.

This is kind of a master-post of all the Spring Awakening icons I've made, for the purposes of putting them on safans. That's just about it. The table code is from here, because I'm an extremely lazy human being.

Uh, enjoy?
