2012-06-15: "Be yourself"

[Alice Macher]

Not that Jade/Lisa wouldn't make a great couple, but I was hoping Lisa and Temp's sparks were more than just jealousy over being the third wheel there...Lisa seemed to have some feelings for her.

Lisa having feelings for Temperance? I'm not opposed to the idea offhand, but I don't see it. Lisa has spoken to Fiona (whom she, at least initially, didn't like) more than she has to Temp. She's scarcely even looked at her, nor vice versa.

Mmm. I unno. With that skirt, a class-A could be very interesting, I think...

Hence "at least B" - A is certainly an option.

It's probably just me, but I always found the concept of Zettai Ryōiki, specifically the fact that it warrants its own name/concept and that it uses frickin' grades (because I certainly don't mind the looks that it describes), to be exceedingly creepy.

You say it like that's a bad thing.

I think "creepy" is a bad thing pretty much by definition

Whether anything comes of her tryst with Jade or not, I'm glad that Lisa seems to be moving on from her crush on Hank which, given what we know about his sexual orientation from T's statement in the Q&A thread, would be hopeless. I was a bit concerned when, at the end of her soul-baring talk with him last chapter, she said, "Oh honey, you think I need alcohol to do something stupid? You don't know me at all!" and then thought, "But you will." (Emphasis mine.)

Not that I thought Lisa was going to go stalker on Hank, but I was concerned that what had seemed at first to be a lightning-fast shift of emotions understandable for a frosh in her first week (first demonizing him as a homophobe, then idolizing him as a Noble Suffering Gay Guy) might turn into an extended infatuation that would make Aggie's long-lasting dream of getting with Marshall look like a sure thing by comparison. (At least Marshall, contrary to some early fan speculation, is very much straight, so there was a remote possibility that Aggie could've won him over someday. Hank, Lisa wouldn't have a prayer with.)

Also, I recognize Lisa, until we see otherwise, may not see this night with Jade as a potential SRS RELATIONSHIP thing (maybe not even Jade does), but just a fun hook-up. Even so, I'm glad to see she didn't react to Jade's overture by raising her arm to her forehead and saying, "No! I must...save myself for Hank."

[Twitcher]

I want to see more of Jade, and who she is. She likes the ladies, but what else does she like?

Forget I said it then. I am seeing something that isn't there.

Indie chick flicks starring Greta Gerwig, apparently.

Oh, and rainbow bedspreads and goofy personality quizzes.

[Lia S]

In this context, those shoes are the wrong way to slip into something comfortable.

See, thing is, the hook-up angle is my suspicion--and I strongly suspect that her interest in Hank will thus continue, unabated, for the time being.

Kinda sad we've dropped Ronnie for now, but....dat outfit.......

The perfect touch: Fishnet stocking and no undies.

AND BURN THOSE SHOES. There are Native Americans out there that would consider those things an insult to the spirits.

And maybe some glasses, go for the "hot nerdy chick" look, ala Velma from Scooby-Doo.

Speaking of Velma.... http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=273

To quote a large male self-aware kinda-creepy-lookin' dear sweet friend of mine who gets laid all the time: "Chicks dig creepy."

[Gholateg]

I think she'd be more into writing/drawing him in slash fics then bedding him or making him "Hers." She seems to be the least possessive person in comic when it comes to partners, which limits the creepy stalking "I must make him MINE" dealie. There's something about a cute gay boy that makes girl's just want to bend them over and have other gay boys do terrible things to them.

I REALLY hope Jade blows this... I would think Lisa would be more gunshy about hopping into bed with people after her recent troubles...
Speaking of, is anyone else concerned with how much Lisa seems to be "Blushing"? She wouldn't be hitting the sauce this early would she? Ever since the "Lets drink" comic, the idea that one of them would go boozehound has been niggling in my noggin.

[LadyObvious23]

She's not drunk. I think she's just more giddy/shy about what's to come. X3 So yeah the blush is absolutely nothin' to worry about. If she was hiccuping or had red eyes then I'd be worried. :/

[DudeMyDadOwnsADealership]

X3 Well with Lisa's run of bad luck there's gonna be something to ruin this night even if it's just by a tiny bit.

Searching for good sex with no strings attached will do that, yes. There's a good chance it'll be caused by a failure on Jade's behalf to notify Temperance that she...needed the room to herself tonight....Followed by Temperance checking in, not expecting her dorm room to be...a'rockin', then lots of screeching and hurling of objects in Jade's and Lil' Blabberpuss's general direction.

Will Jade learn anything from this, other than it's time to find a new roommate? Well, that's a riddle for ya.

Why are we assuming that Jade and Temp don't have their own roommate agreement? Or that they'll go back to Jade's, not Lisa's?
