(no subject)

So last night, Dom and I were talking about Sam and Jennifer, but it was more, “Oh, I guess I never tell you anything about Sam’s thoughts toward Jennifer, I just nag you for the other way around.” And she said, basically, “YES, THAT, TELL ME THAT.” ONLY IT’S A CONVOLUTED ESSAY. I like how I’m essaying twice on Sam this week, but I still owe essays on Frau and my other characters.

But it’s okay. Really. Anyway, in order to talk about Sam and Jennifer, I need to talk about Sam and sexuality in general, and then about Sam post-guilt complex and his sexuality, and then about Sam and Jennifer. Because it all lines up. Sam will be reverting to his pre-guilt complex sexuality when he comes back to camp, but probably be more zen about it—possibly closer to how he was in college. This might seem strange, but as I said in my last essay, Sam is someone who has to justify things to himself, and his trauma actually turns off his hormones (for the entirety of S5, he doesn’t so much as blink an eye at a girl, even the times that he’s kissed—the one time he runs into someone he was attracted to, he was more concerned with research and string theory than her).

Anyway, away we go.
