the importance of body language

[brandywine28]

Lou Pearlman is dead and I don't really know what to say about it. Lance gave Twitter a polite, mildly-worded piece of his mind, which is giving me mixed feelings because 1. he had absolutely no obligation to take the high road, or even bring it up at all and 2. coming from Lance -- i.e. one of the ones whose mom was always hanging around and who therefore most likely went unfondled -- it's like "whoa, there. Easy for you to say, fella." Y'know?

But I will say: this timeless classic, in which Lou is cast as a vengeful sea witch, is probably the fittingest tribute I can think of.

(What's wrong with me?? Why can I only communicate through fic linkage? Am I just that stunted??

...yes. Yes, is the clear answer. And I should either learn to own it, or get out of the way, I guess.)

ALSO. Apparently Lou grew up in Queens, which I'm pretty sure I already knew, but...but...ew. No. Why.

I'm really not broken-hearted that he died in prison.

Of course, without Lou, we probably wouldn't have BSB and *NSync to love and cherish.

I mean, it's not like I sat around just, like, tenting my fingers and wishing him harm on a regular basis. I just...eh. I think it's all the bland, vanilla statements. They were getting on my nerves. It might've been refreshing to hear one of the guys telling Lou's ghost where to stick it. Or something. :)
