My Name's Sokka, Spelled With An -Okka

Watching Tales of Ba Sing Se. Heeeeeeee. Have the following thoughts:

• yay girlbonding that doesn't involve any talking about boys. Showmakers, you get a feminist cookie. Also, really liked the message that you are allowed to want to be girly and pretty without ever having to sacrifice your strength of character or self-confidence. Cool.
• Iroooooooh. This made me cry so much. Like, it's really subtle and understated, and I wasn't sure where it was going until it actually went there, and just. I love Iroh. Everyone ever loves Iroh. He's such a beautifully complex character.
• I would have liked the Aang bit more if it wasn't up against such steep conpetition. It's cute, but kind of average. Whatever.
• SOKKA. POETRY BATTLE. WHAT. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.
• Zuko, you are such a loveable dork. And such a momma's boy. Er, uncle's boy. That was really quietly sweet, and Random Girl was adorable. But really, Zuko honey, just stick to boys. Clearly you have no mojo with the ladies.
• Momo! *bawls* That was so sad! How was that so sad? If I was a little kid, I would so be freaking for Appa right now. *sniffs* As it is, I...think I kinda ship Appa/Momo. Um. Is that even physically possible? Whatever, it's still cute.

This may beat out the season 1 finale as my favorite episode so far. Although it's a though bid in a show where pretty much every episode is made of win.

I Can't Help Being Shy, Okay

Our writing exercise for Monday's Fiction class was to write about something we've done that we were really ashamed of - that time you shop-lifted, or wrecked your dad's car, or said mean things about your friend behind her back. I think this was one of the hardest things I've ever written. You guys, I don't do non-fiction, as a rule. I bitch and moan on here, but when it comes down to writing writing, I don't like putting myself out there for other people to see. I'd rather stick to hiding behind my characters, revealing bits of myself through the way I tell their stories. And when I do write about myself, I tend to deflect and distance myself from it with humor. But this was a subject I couldn't really make a lot of jokes about, and that was...hard. I don't know how well I did.
