I couldn’t remember what this episode was about before it started, then it clicked: kissing. First kisses, wanting to kiss the wrong person, not being kissed enough… And dancing as a metaphor for uh, you know. Oh, and pressure. There’s lots of kinds of pressure.

I said last week I was going to tweet a little less this time round, but that didn’t happen. What a fun, wild ride this week’s tweetathon was. Some highlights:

@dianeshipley “Your hearts must be clearly labelled. Please do not drip.” I love the dark metaphor here.

@JuniperJungle “Combination you”, that rings a whole lot of bells!

@mssusieday Jordan Catalano at Brian Krakow’s house? That’s against nature! I love the names in this. Everyone at my school was called Davies.

@Keris Husband’s response to the haircut. I have so been there

@feelinglistless To be fair to Graham, making complements is a nightmare. One intonation or word out of place and…

@dianeshipley Really nice juxtaposition of dancing instructor + Angela approaching Jordan.

@Keris The dancing metaphor’s a bit heavy-handed though. “He’s dying to dance with other people!” Heh.

@mssusieday Aaaagh, the scene in the car! Go Angela. Love her. That dress, not so much.

@Keris “So according to this she was born yesterday.” Love it.

@feelinglistless In the version of MSCL reunion I have in my head Angela and Brian are getting married and Jordan shows up at just the wrong moment.

@Novelicious Done. Loved it!

@JuniperJungle Ooh I did enjoy that.

@Keris Well I really loved that.

@feelinglistless That was wonderful, wasn’t it?

It really was.

At the end of the ep, I asked my MSCL friends about their first kisses. I’ll write another post about that soon, and have a couple of other things to cover before next Tuesday too. Don’t forget all are welcome to join us at 1pm (or later if you work as Kate/@Petronella does) and tweet about it  (hashtag: #MSCLRW). And your blog posts are always welcome here, too (see “submit”, right).
