”Plotting.”…Sounds so nefarious. Feel free to reply here or send me a message!
On Kurt:
I’ve seen my friends build relationships on a lot less than that, but I don’t think that’s what Kurt is looking for, and honestly, he deserves more. He’s just…so passionate about things that he wants and the things that he dedicates himself to, and I can’t put him in that position if I don’t know that I’m prepared to return it one hundred percent. I’m not sure about that “Something Else” and whether I’ll know it when I feel it, and it’s my responsibility to figure that out for myself.
There’s a really fine line between chivalry and cowardice, isn’t there? But the point is…Kurt isn’t an experiment to me. He’s…well, if I knew, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
I think we have something great as friends. He’s one of the only people who can identify with some of the…issues I’ve faced, and that’s so precious, and sometimes I don’t want to risk that. I know it sounds…selfish, but messing around with him just because I’m attracted to him would be selfish, too. Wouldn’t it? [taken aback] Well, yeah, Kurt is an attractive person, it’s not like I never—[He flushes.] Can we please talk about something else?[/blockquote]
Notes: I found out why I couldn’t finish my (short) plotting page! I was trying to do a section in third-person that needed to be written in first-person. Hence the random first-person section concerning Kurt. Just a shaky attempt to pin the voice down that got a bit more detailed than I intended...
BlaineWarblerAnderson always tries to make a good impression. He loves meeting people, loves attention (when it lacks an uncomfortable personal dimension), and is sometimes guilty of chewing scenery. At first glance, he’s charming and attentive, if a little bland. Once you get to know him a bit better, you’ll notice that he can be completely oblivious to others’ (and his own) feelings. He’s quick to apologize for his occasionally insensitive behavior, though, and seldom loses any friends because of it.

Blaine generally prefers not to make enemies. He shuns conflict and tends to walk away when an argument becomes heated—he doesn’t like himself when he’s angry and would rather others not see that side of him. He doesn’t believe he has the right to put anyone else down and takes few things personally, but when someone has crossed a line, he can be downright icy, and forgiveness will be hard to earn. Though he can be prone to fits of moping (the playlist is infamous among his housemates), he is easily cheered and very few things bother him for a significant stretch of time.

Blaine is a little inexperienced when it comes to lovers. He’s never had an official boyfriend, but he’s had a few crushes, and all have ended in disaster: incompatible sexual orientations, a beating by three members of the football team, an embarrassing performance at the GAP that seemed like a good idea at the time… (and don’t get him started on Logan Wright). This time, however, the stakes may be even higher than broken ribs or broken pride. Whenever Kurt Hummel has walked into a room lately, Blaine’s gotten the giddy, anxious feeling that this is more than just a passing infatuation.
On Kurt:
Kurt is…[He smiles softly at a spot on the wall for a moment, then shakes his head, laughing.] Sorry. The guys say I get this look on my face whenever I talk about him. It’s not that bad, is it? He’s one of my best friends. I respect him, and I admire him so much…After everything that happened at McKinley, he’s so, so much braver than I ever was…[intently] and I worry about him.

Anyway I think that sounds good for the end of this thread (I imagine the mall escapades will go on for a little while, as they have some catching up--and some theraputic shopping--to do). And yeah, I'm so excited! College means I finally get my own computer for rolep--er, homework and...reports and things.
