Um, I don't really see the problem? Like, any "ZOMG KURTSIE YOU DIDN’T TELL BLAINERS FIRST" freakout would have been pretty stupid, because a) it's not as though Blaine was actually at school to run and tell, and b) Burt basically called dibs on giving Blaine the news like the second after Kurt opened his letter. XD
I also don't see why it's a problem that Kurt's question caused her to have that moment. The drama isn't even in the fact that Finn wasn't the first person she told. It's just that now that Rachel has realized that her dreams haven't gone completely down the drain, she has to figure out if accepting Finn's proposal is something she did in a moment of defeat, or an inevitable decision that she'd have eventually made regardless of the circumstance. That's... a pretty legitimate source of romantic drama and suspense, at least for Glee.
The whole Finn v/s New York thing has been presented as a conflict of interest for Rachel since the end of last season, so it looks like they're just following through on that. Kurt and Blaine on the other hand have never been shown to have any such conflict, (even despite the year of long-distance relationship they're in for) and seem pretty secure in their plans to end up in New York together, so of course it isn't presented as quite as big of a deal. (For now.)
The MJ episode ended with Kurt asking Rachel if she told Finn, or what Finn said or whatever and then Rachel had that look on her face and there was that moment of thought where she was likewait, how did i not even think of Finn do i actually love him is getting married a mistakeand blahblahblah cliffhanger ending.
PROBLEM.
Um, did we see Kurt run to tell Blaine? No. The first one he ran to was Rachel. Was there any mini freakout of “ZOMG KURTSIE YOU DIDN’T TELL BLAINERS FIRST” ? Lol, no.
So how come with Finchel it was a bigger deal?
:T My Man is pretty appalling lyrically, but seriously, as much as people joke(?) about it, Baby it's Cold Outside isn't actually about date-rape. I mean, there is one line that is suspect in a modern context, but 'say, what's in this drink' was a far more innocuous phrase before roofies were invented and became an actual thing to be concerned about. Like, the song is basically "boy I sure would love to stay and snuggle, but it would be pretty scandalous if I didn't get going, now. Talk me out of leaving? :D" "Okay! :D"
Baby it’s Cold outside, which is basically about a lead up to date rape. Fail.
My Man which is basically about dropping everything and dignity for a man. Feminism fail.
But the songs are so good, dammit!
... According to Ausiello, he's only missing ONE episode. And the only episode he's missing is the one that focuses on guest star Ricky Martin, soooooo there would have been little to no Klaine there anyway. IDK man, I'll miss the cute background moments, but it's more than made up for to see Darren living a dream he couldn't imagine being given the chance to a year ago.
Darren is going to miss so much episodes of Glee, because of How to Succeed. You know what that means? NO KLAINE!

Late on Granville Street: I remember seeing these paintings in the window of an art gallery once and wishing I could buy it. I wish I could afford these paintings because I have never seen rainy Vancouver nights and iconic places captured so well. The city where I live, work, the neighbourhood where I went to high school, Late, drunken nights and early, early mornings on Granville St, theatres where I found the love of my life. And most of all, the rain. It’s hard to appreciate it sometimes when it is pouring rain like today, but how can you not when you look at these?
Of course, this one is my favourite. I always talk about leaving this city but I would miss it so much. I see this outside the skytrain multiple times a week on my way to work and always think: “I am so lucky that I live here.”

That Glee clip reminded me of a customer I had once at work who said she couldn't eat eggs because they were basically baby chickens.
... Explaining to her that the eggs we eat are actually basically chicken periods probably did little to make them more appealing to her.

In response to this bullshit.
You know what, Tumblr? I think 1000+ of you guys are grossly underestimating the awesomeness of having female friends. You can steal their clothes and talk about both Lady Issues and Non-Lady Issues with them and if you happen to get blackout drunk in their company, you can be pretty sure that they will not take advantage of you (aside from maybe taking some regrettable pictures and refusing to untag you in them). They can counsel you on things that, let’s face it, guys generally do not understand (both shallow and serious). I love having guy friends, but I also loooove having female friends. I don’t know why there’s this stigma surrounding girl-girl friendships, but it needs to end.
You say “Girls stab you in the back?” No, kids, bad friends stab you in the back. Gender has nothing to do with it. “Girls are catty?” Not all of us! Just like how not all guys aren’t super-cool chill bros who “have your back” all the time! The genders aren’t divided along such simple lines. Stop acting like they are, and stop encouraging lady-on-lady hate. Because honestly, if you don’t get along with any of the girls you know, I hate to be the bearer of bad news… but the chances are good that you are the problem.
