Untitled 7 [Writing #18]

This is another writing exercise, because why now? The prompt was "can I kiss you?". It's cute and simple and I hope you enjoy it. This was written in the spirit of my bad fanfiction of 2013. It's not a fanfiction, but it's got that spirit.

Words: 470

Kevin looked at Elena. She looked beautiful under the New York streetlights. He was dropping her off at her apartment, but he didn't want the night to end. They had so much fun, but he had to get back to LA.
"Thank you for tonight." She looked at him, her green eyes sparkled.
"No, thank you." He smiled, shoving his hands in his pockets. "I really enjoyed spending time with you and if I wasn't heading back to LA, I'd ask for another date, but-" He sighed.
"If you come back to the city, we can have coffee." Elena proposed.
"Really?"
"Yes." She laughed. "I really like you. If we didn't live on opposite sides of the country, I could see this blossoming into something beautiful. Whether it be a relationship or just a friendship."
"Wow." Kevin smiled.
"Let's keep in touch. Who knows? You might find yourself back here and I might visit LA?"
"I'd love to keep in touch I think you're an amazing person and I really would like to get to know you better."
"Have you had a New York Fourth of July?" She asked.
"Never. I'm a Cali kid."
"It's great. A few friends and I grill on the roof of my best friend's building and watch the fireworks. You should come back for that."
"It would give me an excuse to get away from my dad's horrible potato salad." Kevin laughed. Elena smiled.
"Great!"
"I'll try to come back for the Fourth of July."
"Perfect." Elena smiled. She wanted to prolong the night as much as she could, but she knew he had an early flight."
"May I kiss you?" Kevin asked.
"You don't even have to ask." She told him. He kissed her, gently. "Why do you have to go back to LA? These past two weeks have been the most fun I've had in a long time. Why can't you stay in New York a little while longer?"
"Because shooting starts in three days and they need their director."
"You promise you'll keep in touch?" She asked.
"I promise."
"Goodnight, Kevin."
"Goodnight, Elena." He smiled. She kissed him, this time more passionately than he did. She wrapped her arm around him. "Have a good night."
"Let me know when you land in LA."
"I will." He promised. She left him and walked into her apartment building without saying another word. Kevin stared at the building.
Part of his brain was telling him to forget the movie and stay in New York longer, but he couldn't abandon ship. The film was the opportunity of a lifetime. He hailed a cab, not knowing she was watching him from her window. She had hoped he was going to ring her bell and say he was going to stay, but the film was much more important.

Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are Basically the Same Person

I, a 21-year-old adult, is still a HUGE fan of the High School Musical franchise. In high school, had I been a better planner, I would have asked Lucas Grabeel to be my prom date. And even though I was older than most viewers, I did love Teen Beach Movie when it came out. In this post, I am going to explain how Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are basically the same person. Let's start at the beginning. You may know Zac Efron as Troy Bolton in the Disney Channel Original Movie (or DCOM), High School Musical and it's franchise. He is the attractive blue-eyed, protagonist of all three HSM movies. And I will admit that I was a huge fangirl for him in my youth. Honestly, now I can't stand him. But that's for another post. Zac portrayed Troy in all three HSM films, but he only sang in the last two. That's right. Zac Efron did not sing in the first HSM movie. That was the amazingly talented Drew Seeley whom I will love till the day I die. Similarly, Garrett Clayton pl

Is Marvin from Falsettos Abusive? And Why is He Such an Easy Character to Hate?

Is Marvin abusive? Short answer: yes. Long answer: You've come to the right place. "I love my tight-knit family. I love the way they cook linguine." Let's get this out of the way, this blog, as all of my blog posts are, is 100% my opinion. Unless stated directly that it is fact, this is all what's going on in my mind. Thoughts from a fangirl, if you will. Also I have to use Spotify to link the songs, because the entire 2016 revival cast album is not on YouTube and I know the revival album better than the original albums. Also this post is going to be long because I'm actually going through actual lines from the musical. I am going to try to sprinkle some photos into this post. "Lovers come and lovers go." Listen to "Marvin Hits Trina" on Spotify. Let's start with the most obvious: Marvin hits Trina after learning that she's going to marry Mendel. Where can you find this scene? In "Marvin Hits Trina". It'

That Time A President Conducted Meetings from the Toilet

Happy Monday! Another week ahead. This week's weird moment from history is how President Lyndon B. Johnson conducted meetings and interviews while on the toilet. I learned way too much about LBJ while doing research for this post and it is going to be a LONG time before I write another weird history post about him. But there will be at least another one in the future. Man was weird. Quick history lesson for my non-Americans who may not know who LBJ is. Lyndon Baines Johnson was the 36th President of the United States. He assumed the position following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He was president from 1963 til 1969. NOW if you're like me and you grew up with the rewatching the movie Forrest Gump over and over again your first introduction to LBJ might be when Forrest was being honored with the Medal of Honor and showed the president where he was "shot in the buttocks" during the Vietnam War.  I haven't watched Forrest Gump in years, but if you haven't
