Love & Romance, Hollywood Style [Period 4, Class 8]

[carpe_demon]

There was a shower in the front of the classroom. No, don't ask why. Just accept that Drake was stepping out of it with a towel wrapped around his waist. "Hello, ladies," he said in a deep and manly voice. "Look at your man. Now back to me. Now back at your man. Now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me. But if he stopped using lady-scented bodywash and switched to Old Spice, he could smell like he's me.

"Look down," Drake continued. "Back up." The shower vanished and Drake was standing on a boat. A shirt dropped around his shoulders, the towel dropped, thankfully revealing he was in a white pair of pants. "Where are you? You're on a boat with the man your man could smell like. What's in your hand? Back at me. I have it. It's an oyster with two tickets to that thing you love." And indeed, in Drake's hand, he held a large oyster with a pair of tickets. "Look again. The tickets are now diamonds!" The oyster vanished, replaced by diamonds flowing out of Drake's hand.

"Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not a lady. I'm on a horse." And, indeed, the boat was gone, and Drake was astride a mighty white horse.

Was it a gremlin bite? Maybe, but with Drake, who knew? He snapped his fingers, conjuring the projector, which began to play clips from a movie. "Look at the movie. Now back to me. Sometimes people settle for something that isn't love, because they can't see that love is right in front of them, like in this movie, The Wedding Singer. Look at Robbie. Now back to me. Robbie switched to Old Spice, but Julia was engaged to Glenn, who used a lady-scented bodywash. Glenn is a jackass, but Robbie thinks Julia loves him, and he doesn't think he's good enough for her anyway. But she doesn't really love him, because he doesn't smell like me. But Robbie does, and this gives him the confidence to serenade Julia and win her love, because anything is possible when you smell like Old Spice. Billy Idol gets it. Do you?"

Boggling was good. Joan could do boggling. Why would she want Liir to smell like her teacher? Yeah, she wasn't even going to let her brain go down that path, thanks.

So, Kate had kind of expected to spend the class mostly tuning out and looking at the already a little faded writing on her palm.

But no. Kind of hard to tune out with... all of that happening. So she just boggled instead.

And there was someone in this class assuming he's present who was possibly getting to answer the all-important question 'is this worse than Those Pants?' once she got back her ability to form sentences.

Dan couldn't help but feel a little proud because he did smell like Old Spice. Hell yeah, cheap body wash.

Didi was boggling, here, but there was also a lot of laughing behind her hand.

She liked Jono-scented Jono. Even if he wasn't on a horse.

...could she just go drinking now? Seriously? Because there was Drake, and then there was whatever the hell this was, and--

Oh, look. Convenient email from Constance. Wasn't that nice and horrified-gaze-averting?

Great, both her classes this week were lame and/or insane, and Emma was just going to take a nap instead, thanks. She really wasn't in the mood for this nonsense.

Ellie was boggling a lot, though she was very amused as well. This was somewhat entertaining.

Diana felt that she had learned a very important lesson in this class: how not to burst out laughing in front of people.

Priestly's notes said one thing, today:

What the hell do horses have to do with anything?!

Really, you'd think he'd be used to the crazy, by now.

Emmett's notes read: DAMMIT PANTS. WHY. WHY ARE YOU.

The lecture was kind of complicated and roundabout. Robin couldn't quite make it out.

Joolushko just stared.
Well, she stared and while she was staring she wondered if there were any mental health facilities available to have a look at the teacher here.

Class Discussion [L&R: Class Eight]

[carpe_demon]

What's more important? Someone with a solid career and income, or true love? Or smelling like Old Spice?

Re: Class Discussion [L&R: Class Eight]

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

"Uh... love is more important," Joan said. "Because you shouldn't need a man to take care of you."

Re: Class Discussion [L&R: Class Eight]

[imonscholarship.livejournal.com]

"Smelling...like Old Spice?" Dan tried. No, he didn't really believe that but it seemed like the right answer today.

Re: Class Discussion [L&R: Class Eight]

[mississippiqueen]

"...I can't have them all?"

Talk to Drake [L&R: Class Eight]

[carpe_demon]

He's still on his horse.

TAs [L&R: Class Eight]

[carpe_demon]

But do they smell like Old Spice?

Re: TAs [L&R: Class Eight]

[brat-intraining.livejournal.com]

No. No, Kennedy didn't, thanks.

And she so wasn't asking.

OOC [L&R: Class Eight]

Oh come on, it had to happen.

Ahahahahaha! I love it!

...You're insane.

And now I'm kind of sad Bobby's missing this due to superhero shenanigans.

I have no real reason for commenting with this journal other than the fact that I like this icon.
