Fic: Be My Best Friend Disclaimer: Glee belongs to Ryan Murphy and Fox, not me. The characters Hal and Beverley Anderson are borrowed from Gilly, aka aspiringtoeloquence, with love and permission. Blaine bounced up and down in the backseat of his mother's car. "Camp! Camp! Francey twisted around in her seat and bopped him in the face with one of her pompoms. "Frances, be nice to your brother," Bev warned as she pulled the car into the crowded parking lot. "I'm just so excited!" "It's just day camp," Francey shrugged. "Neither are you," Blaine retorted. Bev shook her head and slid gracefully out of the car. Blaine scrambled out of the backseat, dragging his big navy and white duffel bag behind him. "We just bought you new shoes," Bev said, frowning. "Yeah, but these are the old ones and they're too small," he said. "Me too!" "No, it's because you're Hamiltons," Bev said, smoothing Blaine's curls and adjusting the perky bow in Francey's wild ponytail. "I'll be tall like Dad," Blaine declared. "I know." "Yeah."
Just Fucking Google It Hearing Test We got a lot of positive feedback on our Can You Hear Like a Teenager? article, and it inspired us to take it just a little bit further. Check your hearing with a list of tones that go from 8Hz all the way up to 22,000Hz. It’s fairly common for people who are over 25 years of age to not be able to hear above 15kHz and also experience some level of hearing loss or hearing damage such as tinnitus. This online test will help you find out where your high frequency hearing cuts off. Musicians have a much higher risk of hearing loss that most people do, and many of us don’t really wear proper hearing protection. Take our online hearing test: listen to each of these tones and let us know where your hearing cuts out. Importance of Hearing Protection If you’re around loud music a lot like I am, or if you are experiencing some hearing loss, I highly recommend getting a pair of hearing protection earplugs.

The problem is just that Darren doesn´t know where he stops being himself and gets into character.Author´s note: Well, this was fast. XD Especially for someone who always said "No I will not ship them!" But oh well, what can you do?I hope you guys like it and please forgive me if you find any mistakes, it´s almost midnight and English is not my first language.But now enjoy! Darren was straight. And there had been a time when he was completely sure of that. It wasn´t like he´d never kissed a boy before. It just never felt as good as kissing a girl.
