Glee Club, Music Room, Thursday Afternoon [ 10/07 ].

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

There were, much to Ariel's disappointment, no cute ponies in Glee Club today, but there was sure to be lots of singing and fun, so she'd be content with that. There was a spread of a lot of fruits and drinks and cookies as before, and, of course, an incredibly bouncy leader.

"Welcome back, everyone! I'm not going to talk a lot so we can get to singing, but I'm throwing something at you guys real quick to get your thoughts on it. Sometime in November, our lovely Rinoa was thinking of putting together a concert for our awesome Jono's band, and I was thinking, if there's already a concert, we should totally put something together to perform! We'll have just enough time to decide on a song or two we could do, and put together a dance for it, and be ready to perform it for everyone! So, as we do some songs about our Parents' Weekend, also think about something you'd like to maybe perform in November. It's pretty much open for anything. If you think it, we can do it!"

"So grab some snacks and let's get started! Who wants to go first this week?"

Mingle & Chat -- Glee, 10/07.

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Because half the reason a person does these things is for the free food and gossip, right?

Re: Mingle & Chat -- Glee, 10/07.

[trigons_child]

Raven was quietly thinking about a song. She wasn't sure a song existed to describe her relationship with her father.

Quinn was definitely looking for any gossip. She smoothed her skirt over her knees and tried to look vaguely approachable.

Re: Mingle & Chat -- Glee, 10/07.

[furnaceface]

Well, Jono didn't do it for the free food, but he certainly wouldn't turn down gossip if it happened to drift his way, no.

Though he really wasn't much for mingling, either. He'd just sit back and observe, as usual.

Re: Mingle & Chat -- Glee, 10/07.

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

As Alexander nibbled on some fruit, he found himself thinking that it was a very good thing he hadn't had enough time to go too far into his extracurricular activities, because explaining this one to his mother would be even more awkward than explaining Magic Reserves, really.

Ellie wasn't sure how she felt about the song topic this week. She didn't exactly enjoy dwelling on her parental issues.

Re: Mingle & Chat -- Glee, 10/07.

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Sooooo." Puck wasn't good at apologies, or groveling, or any of that. "Radio said you met Santana and Brittany."

What he was good at, though, was looking cute. So this was Puck, looking as sorry and cute as he knew how to.

Parents' Weekend Songs -- Glee, 10/07.

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Step on up and sing a song about your parental issues. Or non-issues. Whatever it is, let it out in song, and share you experience with everyone!

Re: Parents' Weekend Songs -- Glee, 10/07.

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

Quinn ... wasn't really going to want to talk about why she picked her song. If you asked, she'd say it was because it was a song she'd heard on the radio a lot and it had a good beat.

There was, of course, more to it than that.

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I Will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

Because of you
I'll never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake, a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Ariel was still building on her repitoire of human songs, but it didn't take her long to find at least one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXryoDu3VAg&feature=related) that pretty much summed up everything she'd like to express regarding her visitor. There was the nice added level of meaning in it, too, that let her know it was perfect:

"y mother spent 10 years sitting by a window
Scared if she spoke she would die of a heart attack
She listened as her dreams silently screamed
They drowned like little dolphins caught in a fishnet

Dear world i'm pleased to meet you

Hey everybody when you walk the walk
You gotta back it all up you gotta talk the talk
Hey everybody when I hear the knock
Don't wanna measure out my life to the tick of a clock

Hey everybody when my daddy died
He had a sad sad story written in his eyes
Hey everybody when you walk the walk
You cannot measure out your life to the tick of a clock

I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum

Hey everybody
Can you walk the walk you gotta back it all up
But can you talk the talk
Hey everybody
can you walk the walk?

I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
(Say what?)
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
(Say what?)

I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
I wanna live to the beat of my own drum
I wanna take to the beat of my own drum
I wanna hang ten, high, say pleased to meet you

Give to the beat of my own drum
I wanna sing to the beat of my own drum

I wanna fly, cry, win, lose, live, die, take five
Pleased to meet you

My daddy spent 10 years living on the outside looking in
He thought that he would never get back
Watched his dream walk across a silver screen
And he was standing there when the theatre went pitch black

Dear world I'm pleased to meet you

Hey everybody when I walk the walk
I gotta back it all up I vgotta talk the talk
Hey everybody when I hear the knock
Don't wanna measure out my life to the tick of a clock

Hey everybody--can you walk the walk?

I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
(Say what?)
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
(Say what?)

I wanna live to the beat of my own drum
I wanna laugh to the beat of my own drum
I wanna play to the beat of my own drum
I wanna hang ten, high, say pleased to meet you

I wanna screw up to the beat of my own drum
I wanna take it out of town and do it to my drum

Scream shout
Wipe out
Make love to my baby

Father: It's a wonderful idea, but it doesn't work.

My own drum my own beat

Hey did you ever get the feeling that it's really a joke
You think you've got it figured out and then you find that you don't
So you say goodbye to the world and now you're floating in space
You got no sense of nothing not even a time or a place
Then suddenly you hear it it's the beat of your heart
And for the first time in your life you know your life is about to start

I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum!"

Jono's influence might be starting to show a bit, too.

Raven had lots of parental issues, but it was hard to find a song to describe them. She gave it her best shot, though.

Don't you mess with a little girl's dream
'Cause she's liable to grow up mean
Surprised you to find that I'm laughing?
You thought that you'd find me in tears
You thought I'd be crawling the walls
Like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear

Well you may be king for the moment
But I am a queen understand
And I've got your pawns and your bishops and castles
All inside the palm of my hand

While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me

I was taking control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control

This is beginning to feel good
Watching you squirm in your shoes
A small bead of sweat on your brow
And a growl in your belly you're scared to let through
You thought you could keep me from loving
You thought you could feed on my soul
But while you were busy destroying my life
What was half in me has become whole

While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me

I was taking control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control

So this is how it feels
To breath in the summer air
To feel the sand between my toes
And love inside my ear
All those things that you taught me to fear
I've got them in my garden now
And you're not welcome here

Come a little bit closer
Let me look at you
I gave you the benefit
Of the doubt it's true
But keep in mind my darling
Not every saint is a fool

While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me

I was taking control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control

Don't you mess with me

It was a bit of a different take for his singing so far, but Alexander couldn't really pass the chance to choose a song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAZQaYKZMTI&ob=av3e) that would make Rosella want to murder him if she was around.

So it was a good thing she wasn't.

"Hey little sister what have you done?
Hey little sister who's the only one?
Hey little sister who's your superman?
Hey little sister who's the one you want?
Hey little sister shot gun!

It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day for a white wedding.
It's a nice day to start again.

Hey little sister who is it you're with?
Hey little sister what's your vice and wish?
Hey little sister shot gun (oh yeah)
Hey little sister who's your superman?
Hey little sister shot gun!

It's a nice day to start again (come on)
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.

(Pick it up)

Take me back home

Hey little sister what have you done?
Hey little sister who's the only one?
I've been away for so long (so long)
I've been away for so long (so long)
I let you go for so long

It's a nice day to start again (come on)
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.

There is nothin' fair in this world
There is nothin' safe in this world
And there's nothin' sure in this world
And there's nothin' pure in this world
Look for something left in this world
Start again

Come on
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day to start again!"

Once again, Jono didn't sing. Jono? Still not a singer. Fancy that.

But he did have his guitar, and he did manage to adapt his song of choice for the day to work well enough without the accompaniment of a band, and... Well, he might have been murmuring alongside as he played regardless. Quietly, so as to not throw his guitar off too much.

I am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment that's held in your arms

And what do you think you'd ever say
I won't listen anyway
You don't know me
And I'll never be what you want
Me to be

And what
Do you think you'd understand
I'm boy, no, I'm a man
You can't take me
And throw me away

And how
Can you learn what's never shown
Yeah, you stand here on your own
They don't know me
'Cause I'm not here

And I want a moment to be real
Want to touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong

And how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They don't know me
'Cause I'm not here

And you see the things they never see
All you wanted - I could be
Now you know me
And I'm not afraid

And I want to tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man
They can't break me
As long as I know who I am

And I want a moment to be real
Want to touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong

And how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They can't see me
But I'm still here

They can't tell me who to be
'Cause I'm not what they see
Yeah, the world is still sleepin' while I keep on dreaming for me
And their words are just whispers and lies that I'll never believe

And I want a moment to be real
Want to touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong

And how can you say I'll never change
They're the ones that stay the same
I'm the one now
'Cause I'm still here

I'm the one
'Cause I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here

Considering all Blackagar could manage is playing the drums (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=672WYeU1f4U&feature=related), message was probably lost. But, really, that was all for the best.

Since he was from Germany.

Yes.

Performance Suggestions -- Glee, 10/07.

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Got a song you've always dreamed of performing? Or one that you wouldn't be too embarrassed to dance to in front of your peers?

Open up the discussion for what to work on in the next weeks! Demonstrations are always encouraged!

Re: Performance Suggestions -- Glee, 10/07.

"We should do Micky," Quinn suggested. "By Toni Basil? The costuming would be a cinch and everyone knows the words. It's a classic."

Talk to Ariel -- Glee, 10/07.

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

If there's any reason to bug her about anything outside of the ears of the rest of the club.

Re: Talk to Ariel -- Glee, 10/07.

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

Puck lingered a little while after, waiting to talk to Ariel specifically. Since, after all, he'd managed to talk to Ellie about the weekend, he didn't see why he couldn't try and get in some face time with the other person he'd specifically heard about Santana threatening with bodily harm.

Oh, good times.

"Heeeeeeey," he drawled, trying to look adorable. "How was your weekend?"

Stalling? Never.

Talk to the Advisors -- Glee, 10/07.

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Think they could convince them to put on a special advisors number at the concert? It could be epic.

Re: Talk to the Advisors -- Glee, 10/07.

[sith_happened]

Only if they were singing "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better"...

Not that Anakin was thinking that for unlike he co-advisor, he couldn't read narrative.

He was far too busy practicing his glower anyway.

Re: Talk to the Advisors -- Glee, 10/07.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Deadpool would ROCK 'Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better', Anakin. Rock it.

And Deadpool could read narrative, so he was mostly just gonna be over here. Bein' so much more awesome than Anakin.
