starters etc for thegleeacademy @tgaimportant - Tumblr Blog

Good chilly, winter afternoon, you lovely lamb-like children of mine, I know the lot of you have been waiting faithfully with a fervor I can only call religious for the moment that I grace you all with more of the divine word that are my thoughts on campus events. Since the lot of you can’t seem to find the inbox button on your own, I’ll go ahead and prove that I don’t need any of you to do my job.

Let’s dive right in like 90% of you were doing last night, shall we?

I think we’ve all seen and read what the “professional journalist” had to say and quote as The Academy’s most prevalent events, but of course I am here to differ; not beg to differ, I’d never beg, just differ.

Vic and Roderick are a good place to start, with that public serenading. What do you think you boys are, peacocks? Swans in swain? “ Last night a little dancer came dancin’ to my door“ sounds like sex to me, people.

Speaking of public serenades, Ross and Blake come to mind. Did anyone else catch that not-so-private 1x1 concert in the halls?

Lillian and Ashton & Eleanor and Kady; Lions and tigers and bears, oh my. This one is a fun one. It’s no surprise that our resident Perfect Princess has a flock to lead and a flock of suitors. Ashton was no surprise, that old fling started back up instantly. Though with their opposite ideals, it’s hard to see how they got started and how it’ll continue. Lillian’s return has brought the softer side of Sears out of her. Kady is the Monster Domme that hits all of the buttons for the type of Domme Eleanor would go for and it looks like Kady has her eye on her.

Dallas and Johnny are boring, but there’s got to be a reason why they’ve kept themselves locked up and so private. A secret meth lab?

Two-Bit and Adrian are an interesting development, and one I have to admit my psychic third eye did not predict. Me not knowing absolutely everything at all times, even before it ends, is a once in a lifetime event so drink it up.

Omar & Patrick & Theo – this is another messy one. Omar and Patrick clearly have unaddressed history that keeps being brought up and swept away. Theo came in and showed Omar what interest in a person looks like and now they’re official, but is Patrick done? From what I hear out of Spain, he doesn’t usually take “I have a boyfriend” for an answer and if he actually wants someone, he fights for them. And he fights xxx dirty.

Nick and Harold; cute but another quiet couple aside from the strange, strange fact that Harold almost killed Nick. But that’s none of my business– except for when I want it to be.

Speaking of weird, Nick and Hunter both disappeared the moment they officially got together. I think they formally melted together as one. If you see Optimus Prime on campus and look deep into his robotic eyes, you might see a twinkle of what was formerly known as Nick. Or perhaps Hunter.

Gabriel and Gigi; more history has been had here, not that Gabriel remembers it, stay tuned. I bet Nikolai is fuming, and also pretty mad at himself for picking an absentee blonde that seems to have ditched out on him for a second time over the one that’s actually present.

Alice and Jules, it’s a good thing Alice has a good head on her shoulders, that one likes trouble and has no problem searching it out.

Parker and everyone– who here doesn’t have a love story with Parker St. James? I myself was able to sneak into his room a few nights ago with my man suit on and we played a few rounds around the hole.

Lucas and Madison. Now onto the couple that isn’t– Are they really a couple though? Madison seems to have disappeared.

I have one thing to say to all of you, especially those of you in those weird little love triangles, and that is may the best and most powerful musk ox win. If you’re not on the list, I didn’t notice you. Try harder. I hear streaking was in a few months ago.

The time has come to announce this weekend’s events! Since the overwhelming complaint on campus seems to be people refusing to interact with those outside of their immediate friend group, I decided to go ahead and pair everyone for this event, whether you signed up or not. This is an easy, fun thing that is meant to get everyone involved and talking. Please be kind and courteous, and show respect for your partner by showing up and participating. It’s simple, and not time consuming.

For PART1 of the event, I have paired everyone on campus. This weekend, take an hour to sit down with your partner, and play an icebreaker, “get to know you” game. Come up with a list of 10 questions to ask, and ask them! I’ll be posting some suggestions tomorrow, you’re welcome to take one of the lists provide, or you can make your own. Either way, ask your partner questions that encourage you to really get to know them! I chose not to go the “just talking” route, and add in the requirement/request of asking specific questions, so that nothing fizzles out and everyone gets the chance to speak with their partner.

PART2 will come tomorrow afternoon, at the Unity Cookout! I’ll be hosting this in the courtyard, enjoying the warm weather they’re calling for. There will be games, snacks, a campfire, a BBQ, and all the fun things we love about a good cookout. However, at one point in the day, you will b e asked to talk about what you learned about your partner! If you have questions, let me know!

I’ve been spending most of my time in the mark-free zone, we’re kidding ourselves if we think this school hasn’t always needed a safe space. These spontaneous concerts are very tempting, applause for that too. I’ve still got a few of those songs stuck in my head.

Congratulations to everyone who won the Mark Leader elections. I have no doubts that all of those who were elected will be wonderful leaders. I’m looking forward to seeing where the elections lead. Does anyone have plans for the rest of the week, or anything big for the weekend?

@tgaimportant

Thank you to everyone who voted in the Mark Leader Election! I know I ran unopposed, but it still means a lot that people believed in me enough to vote for me instead of abstaining. I want everyone to know that I am planning on taking this as seriously as it deserves to be taken. I already have so many ideas, and I can’t wait to set them into motion. To begin, I want to open the floor to my fellow Switches. I would really like some feedback, to hear what it is you’re all specifically hoping to see improve here for those carrying the new mark. What challenges have you faced? What questions do you have? What would be most beneficial to you at this stage of things? Let me know, I want to hear from each of you!

I don’t want anyone to think they’ve been forgotten. While these elections were to unify the marks, with the way things have been going I think we could all do with some unity. I’m working on another idea for this weekend. One that I hope will help everyone start to rebuild some of these bridges. I’m not going to reveal what it’s for, because I don’t want that to be used as a reason people don’t attend, or skip out. But, I would like for everyone- and I do mean everyone- to leave their name and mark down below. I’ll release the “why” later. Just know that this is for an event that will require participation this weekend. It won’t be massive and it won’t take up too much time, but it will happen in parts, and it will require some effort. So again, please just leave your name and mark down below, and leave the rest to me! I hope I’ll see everyone responding soon.

This song was popular at the dance winter showcase, so I thought I’d try to hype up their first competition with it! Don’t forget to check out the ASL club, where I’ll be sharing background information and teaching ASL.
