Homeless and sort of looking, but...

[selfslushie]

Look, far be it from me to suggest anything that keeps me off stage, so to speak, but...

Maybe you should just play with memes for now? I get it, you miss me. I don't blame you at all. Still, that doesn't change the fact that you lack confidence, and I'm sorry, but that should really be a requirement here.

No, you're right, I haven't always been confident about who I am. But don't you think one of us should be steady in that area?

[diana_abel]

Oh, you're a performer? What kind?

[selfslushie]

I'm in my school's Glee Club. Or was, depending on what canon point my mun feels like using.

I sing.

[diana_abel]

Me too!

Well, not the glee club part. Or the high school. Never even went to high school.

But I sing! I have a radio show, over in Bete Noire!

[selfslushie]

Well, whatever works for you. Always nice to meet a fellow singer!

[diana_abel]

Hey, what does a glee club sing anyway?

[selfslushie]

...A lot of Journey.

[diana_abel]

Oh, great! Good to know. Apparently, we have someone from your world coming our way. I need to get ready for all the cheering up music ever.

Is it just Journey, though? Or does that extend to an assortment of power ballads? I'm more of a Bon Jovi person myself. Well, if we're realistic, I'm a showtunes person, but anything from the 1980s with a guitar solo is pretty much groovy with me.

[A pause.]

Oh. Right. Manners. They are a thing. Hi! I'm Diana!

[selfslushie]

Oh, that was kind of snark. Our club director really likes Journey. We actually sing all sorts of stuff, but... Do you know who's going to be there?

Also, showtunes are amazing. You have excellent taste in music. And I'm Kurt. Nice to meet you.

[diana_abel]

Nice to meet you, Kurt. I'm afraid you're kinda in the minority with regards to showtunes. People call in my show just to heckle song selection. Especially this creep named Spike.

And we're apparently getting some dude named Blaine?

[selfslushie]

That's because most peop--

Oh. My. God.

[diana_abel]

Oh your God?

[selfslushie]

What? I don't even--

I just. Blaine, oh my God. At... Oh my God.

[diana_abel]

What? I'm sorry, I don't speak high school?

I assume you know Blaine?

[selfslushie]

He's my boyfriend.

[diana_abel]

Oh.

Ick. That bites.

[selfslushie]

You're telling me.

[diana_abel]

Well, I'll try to keep an eye on him for ya.

I mean, it gives you serious street cred if you've got one of the "scary things" on your side.

Sorta...

[selfslushie]

You just lost me. But thank you.

[diana_abel]

You're totes welcome!

I hope you don't mind if I but in

[bustsamove]

Hey, theres a lot to learn from Journey…

Not at all!

[selfslushie]

You've made your feelings on that very clear, Mr. Schuester.

[bustsamove]

I just wish you guys would appreciate it on the level it deserves.


Maybe it's time for another lesson…

[selfslushie]

Look, Mr. Schue, you have done so much for me and the others that I appreciate.

But the overexposure to Journey wasn't... Completely necessary.

[bustsamove]

Well, just remember that you can thank Journey for getting New Directions started.


Have any better ideas then?

1/2

[selfslushie]

Fair enough.

Well, you know, my song from The Boy from Oz went over pretty well with Carmen Tibideaux. Taking risks like that is always good.

[selfslushie]

Of course, that audition didn't get me into NYADA.

[whitechocolate]

Memes are a good place to build up your confidence. Or so my mun says.

[selfslushie]

It seems like a good plan to me.

[whitechocolate]

I'll say hi if I see you around.

[likerockstars]

Practice makes perfect, right? We have confidence in you, even if no one else does.

[selfslushie]

True, true. And thank you, Blaine.
