HA I FINALLY FINISHED THE MANIFESTO. Here it is. Hooray for not being stressed about it anymore!

(Yeah, I was stressed about it. I don't know why. Possibly because it's the first fandom I've been in that's more than four people? *g*)

ETA: And now this is also a GIP. Ahahahaha, Chad.

What part, exactly, of Ryan's tiki warrior outfit requires batteries, and what does it do?

So I decided to take a couple of caps for my manifesto, just to make sure I get some of the cuter gestures and loving glances and whatnot...

I just finished capping all the way through I Don't Dance. I've got 199. Keep in mind, that's 199 shots that are either of Chad or Ryan (or both!). There are other characters in the movie? Really?

Incidentally, Corbin Bleu really suffers from, uh, Aaron Lohr syndrome -- he only has two facial expressions, "desperately in love," and "completely heart broken." Guess which one he has around Ryan? *g*

ETA: Does the green shirt that Chad wears in the scene where Troy and Sharpay watch Ryan choreograph everyone say "My mom thinks I'm rad"?! That would be awesome. (I'm sure if it does someone's already noted it.)

Also, I was sulking because it's pretty much impossible to get a clear cap of the two of them with their arms around each other right before they high five, but then I realized it's TOTALLY CLEAR because they are in front of a MIRROR where you can, you know, see their arms. :D :D

ETA2: Ended with an even 250 pictures. Now I just need to write the damn thing so I'll know which ones will be useful.

So there's a series of HSM junior novels. They aren't very good, not shockingly. But Jess bought me two for Chanukah! Specifically, the ones about Chad and Ryan. Kind of. And not together, unfortunately. Anyway. I just finished the Chad novel, and to spare you from having to seek it out and read it yourself--you know you want to, for certain values of "you", um, and "want"--here is the recap and relevant excerpts. Enjoy!

Back cover copy:

Get your rhyme on!

Everyone at East High is freaking out. In one week, the students in Ms. Barrington's English class will have to recite an original poem in front of the whole school! Chad is usually happy to ham it up no matter who is watching, but the embarrassing memory of a past poetry performance is seared onto his brain--and he's not sure he'll be able to pull off this assignment. Troy enlists Gabriella to teach Chad and the other basketball players that there's more than one way to bust a rhyme. But will she be able to save them from schoolwide humiliation?

(Hint: yes.)

( Stories From East High #3: Poetry in Motion )

Next time: Broadway Dreams, in which the whole gang takes a trip to New York City so Sharpay and Ryan can audition for a real Broadway musical! It should be amazing.
