**cue impromptu dance party**

We have 500 people watching this comm.

Let me say it again: We have 500 people watching this comm. And 442 members.

On May 6, 2012, when this bar was opened, we had 4 (and yes, those four consisted of your beloved mods who saw a little film called Avengers and had some feelings and just wanted a place to find some fic and geek out.)

So, in honor of this momentous occasion, I hereby declare it to be Friday one day early. Bring me your squee, your flail, your randomness, your Renner Problems, your Scarlett Feelings, your team!shawarma love, your pics, your gifs, your thinky thoughts, your what-the-heck-ever you like. Today is a day of jubilee, my friends.

I love everyone in this bar.

Dear Bee,

We're at the cottage, drinking bubbles on the dock, and you know, the stars are super beautiful. But they're *too* bright. How do we dim them?

Dear Bee,

We're running out of bubbles. How do we get more bubbles?

Dear Bee,

Help me! I'm stuck here on a paddle boat in the middle of a lake, and I'm almost out of beer. What shall I do?!

Dear Bee,

Something seems amiss. Usually, every seat in the car is full. Usually, every bedroom is occupied. Usually, more chairs at the table are pulled out. Usually, there are more oversized hats on the dock. Usually, someone wants to marinate in the dark. Usually, there are a lot less bubbles at this point in the holiday. Usually, the Tim Horton's boat has been by at least once and we've sampled Timmy's bits. Usually by this time, someone has brought shame and dishonour upon her family and forbearers. Usually, there are not enough fruit baskets in the world. Usually, there's an open bottle of formaldehyde.

What can we do to fill this void?

H., C., and L.

That is a seriously unbelievable set - WOW. Mad props to the tech crew. The costumes also kick some serious ass. :-) Very cool!!

We have three high schools and middle schools in our county, and whereas four years ago all three high schools and two of the middle schools had full-time Drama teachers, I'm the only full-time Drama in the county now. The only other school that has a Drama teacher at all has her part-time - she teaches one Drama class and two Special Ed classes each day, plus she coaches cheerleading. So yeah, my program is the only full program in the county now. I try very hard not to take for granted the fact that we still have a program (and I have a job.)

I may have mentioned this before, but hey, I'll say it again. :-) When I taught middle school Drama (for nine years in the same county), my goal was to help my students' middle school experience be better than mine was, because mine sucked. Now that I'm in high school, my objective as a Drama teacher is to provide my students with a place they can be themselves and feel safe. To me that's the most important thing. It sounds like your teacher very much did that. What a wonderful thing.

Btw, stage managing was what I did all through college and professionally afterwards. And there was *nothing* that I could done to better prepare to teach Drama. So from one stage manager to another, *high five*!

Well, didn't I just wax prolific? LOL

It sounds like you have experience with this! Thank you for your sage wisdom, my friend.

NO NO IT IS PERFECT. 'Cause you know how Chris Evans alternates between fanboying Cap and then insulting him with things like, "And there's Cap, just takin' the stairs!" Well--the movie, it speaks to Steve, like on a really deep level. "Do not be sad you cannot fly! Many things cannot fly!" And the Avengers, they're all mismatched and orphaned but they've made their own herd JUST LIKE THE BABY DINOSAURS.

Plus, he's finally figured out why Darcy always says "Yep" three times in a row.
Of course he's going crazy looking for a leaf he can give her that looks like a tree star. (Sorry I hijacked your fic and turned it into Darcy/Steve romance...)

Here, have some delicious crack:


Darcy’s Guide to the 80s, 90s, and today.

An illustrated guide, compiled by Darcy Lewis, for use in educating Rogers, Captain Steven (alias Captain America) in the ways and customs of the greatest generation.

Security level 2.


Land Before Time, The- Every generation has a Moment. For our parents, it was JFK. For you, it was probably Pearl Harbor. For me, and the people who grew up in the late eighties, it was Littlefoot’s mother. (Yes, I know, we have our own terrorism worries, but every single one of us cut our teeth on the scene where Littlefoot’s mother jumps to save him from the Sharptooth.) There are actually about 32 movies in this series, but purists and true believers know that the first one is the only REAL Land Before Time - the great valley, tree stars, Ducky and Petrie; these are the oracles of our youth, and to them we say yup, yup, yup. This will pave the way for Jurassic Park in about 5 years. Package T34 contains an original VHS of the movie, complete with Pizza Hut ad, a set of vinyl hand puppets, and a DVD copy that you’ll be able to find a player for in the tower. (Package T35 contains tissues, for any eyewater you need to spill.)

Steve wasn’t crying.

He was just allergic to this movie.

He was allergic to plucky bands of friends who had to band together to get things done, allergic to dead mother dinosaurs, allergic to how fucking cute the whole thing was. He reached out to scoop Libby off the endtable and hold her close.

“I promise to never die fighting a dinosaur,” he muttered.

We had some fucking amazing sets in our day, that one was one of my favorites. The costumes, oy. We didn't have any backstage space for crosses, so you had to go outside and cross around the back of the theatre. Well, the weekend of the show it rained cats and dogs. Poured. And the women were in these dresses that were made of upholstery fabric. I instituted a rule that no woman was to go outside without an umbrella holding partner. (I may have been drunk on power.)

I have so much respect for teachers, especially in the older grades. My brother and his girlfriend both teach high school, and I really don't know how any of you do it. I don't have that kind of patience. It sounds like you're an amazing teacher. :)

K was nuts, and we loved the crap out of him. I think the best was the time we all went to an anti-war rally and "accidentally" ran into him there. He offered to sell me to the conservative Christians.

Dude, stage management is hard shit, anyone who can do it and come out the other side mostly unscathed is my sister in arms, man.
