I want to say something that I have been scared to say. I am not overly fond of the musical Hamilton. I mean the songs are good, the Tony performance looked awesome. But I don’t understand all the hype when I’m just sitting here like meh.

I didn’t totally get it at first myself, but once I sat down and listened to the whole thing, that’s when it got me. 

That said, if you listen to it, and don’t care for it, that’s okay too, everyone is allowed an opinion, and you don’t have to love something just because it seems like everyone else does!

  1. Very loyal/protective of my family and loved ones (including my online friends).

Not in common

  1. I’m a terrible dresser
  2. I’m not the most important person anywhere, just lowly tech support
  3. I’m not reticent about showing my feelings.

story of tonight, wait for it, its quiet uptown? (hamilton song asks)

THE STORY OF TONIGHT: talk about some of the best times you’ve had with friends.

I had a great time at Sherlock Seattle last year. It was a little ridiculous and a lot of fun meeting people and just spending real life time with folks I knew from online.

WAIT FOR IT: what’s something you’re really longing for?

I’m very close to graduating college, and I’m looking forward to finishing and starting on the next chapter

IT’S QUIET UPTOWN: where do you like to go to think or brood?

I like to go for walks, or go out to the woods. If walking around a trail at a park i tend to use headphones but when I go hiking in the woods I don’t, so that’s a good place for me to think.

Hamilton asks

I’m a good writer meme 7 and 9!

7) create a character on the spot…. NOW!

James watched the proceedings quietly. He was always quiet, always watching. And he preferred it that way. Let his brother be the dashing pilot and his sister the talented musician, James would stay in the background. It was better that way

9)a passage from a WIP:

“Oh.” Sherlock’s voice went soft before falling silent.

John fixed his tea before turning around to face him, not even bothering to check for milk. “Oh?”

Sherlock’s eyes were back on his table. “There was someone else.”

“Right. I’m not even going to ask how you knew that she had a boyfriend.” John took his tea and all but threw himself in the chair. “First proper date in two months and she was just using me to make another bloke jealous.”

Sherlock didn’t respond and John didn’t expect him to. At least the tea was making him feel better, though perhaps a stiff drink wouldn’t be out of order.

“John?”

“Yeah, Sherlock?” He took a long sip.

“Why do you continue to date?”

So I’m seein John at the con tomorrow and I was wondering if I asked him for a hug at the Q&A do you think he would say yes? Sorry I don’t want to be embarrassed lol pls help

I would say don’t do it at the Q&A. He generally has a rule against that anyway because he doesn’t want to hug 850 people and a Q&A is supposed to be for everyone. If you can get a photo op, he’ll do damnear anything, otherwise your best bet is probably a handshake at the autograph table.

That said, John is an awesome person and he’ll certainly listen to you at the autograph table, just remember that there a lot of other people behind you that also want a minute of his time.

Have fun and let me know how it goes!
