Memories are always beautiful.

Last night, after Jacq's birthday celebration/party, where Y.Ting and I indulged in Arthur's Epic Expression of Disbelief (from series 1, episode 3: HERE, from disparue) and my mother was still imposing the you-are-12-and-your-curfew-is-at-10p.m.-and-I-will-bloody-well-call-you-to-remind-you-of-that-to-spoil-the-celebration-mood, I finally got to watch the pilot episode of Glee (the Director's Cut version, because I'm resourceful like that, and the Internet is my best friend).
And I cried. True story.
Being a part of something special makes you special, Rachel Berry.
Because I loved what I was doing, Will Schuester.
Being a part of that, in that moment, I knew who I was in the world, Will Schuester.
It just reminded me so much of how choir life was like back in secondary school. Because we were fantastic; because we loved every moment of it, weird songs, awkward harmonies, tough conductor, annoying formal attire, torturous court shoes and make-up notwithstanding; because we knew we were awesome and people can laugh all they want every time they find out I was in choir. Because it was an amazing period of my life where we all learned that there is more to school than academia - that we are allowed to be good at something other than our studies, and the memory of it all still burns so brightly in my mind I would do anything to experience a sliver of that feeling just one more time. I don't get why people think choir is dorky and loserish and brush us off even though we were one of the top secondary school choirs, but in that four years, we knew where we stand - and we were nothing but brilliant. That was then, and now we're all becoming adults with ever-changing priorities, but while time had been slowly ticking away during those four years, I'm glad to have made those memories - to have been part of something great and to have something to show for before teenage (and choir) life ended.
OMG SECOND MERLIN SERIES 2 TRAILER! Be still, my heart!

People I met don't dismiss choir but have strange stereotype about those in choir. "You join choir, you want to be the singing star." or "You're member of choir, you're grades must be good!" Where these conclusions come from? (shake head)
As for 「思い出はいつもきれいな」, I guess it should be 思い出はいつもきれいだ(普通体) or 思い出はいつもきれいです(丁寧体)?
I think na-adjective has na when it with a noun, like きれいな花, if put it at the end of sentence, it won't have na.
Or maybe you want to say だな? Japanese is such a confused language LOL

Hmm, I use the -na sort of to express a feeling rather than a statement or adjective (like so). Ugh yes, it's confusing. Then again, I find languages we try to pick up when we're consciously learning, rather than when we just know when we're young, are all confusing and difficult.
If you don't mind me asking, do I know you in rl? Or from any fandoms...?
