Hey guys! Sorry its been so inactive around here. I’m slowly but surely getting finished with my finals.
Anyway, I found this and thought I had to share. The way body language can tell how a person is really feeling is something that I consider very interesting. I think it would be a great way to show, in a subtle way, how a character is really feeing.
Hope its useful! And good luck with finals! Hopefully, this place will be a bit more active once summer kicks in.

This is quite useful!

 Mona’s 440 in San Francisco, Ca.
Mona’s 440 was the FIRST lesbian bar in America, opening in 1938.
Bartenders wore tuxes and suits and patrons would often be said to be “dressed the part” (referring to a butch/femme persona).

The meaning of a story has to be embodied in it, has to be made concrete in it. A story is a way to say something that can’t be said any other way, and it takes every word in the story to say what the meaning is. You tell a story because a statement would be inadequate. When anybody asks what a story is about, the only proper thing is to tell him to read the story. The meaning of fiction is not abstract meaning but experienced meaning, and the purpose of making statements about the meaning of a story is only to help you experience that meaning more fully.
Flannery O’Connor in “Writing Short Stories” (from Mystery and Manners)

A theories → Wren Kim/Kingston

1x01 Pilot: Wren gives Spencer a massage to relieve the fluid build up in her bursa sac. It becomes clear Wren was good at this.

2x10 Touched by an A-ngel: Emily receives a massage from A and doesn’t even notice that the person giving her a massage isn’t a professional. Coincidentally, Wren is good at giving massages.

1x11 Moments Later: Hanna’s received an A message while she was in the hospital, surely she’d have taken note of what her school friends were writing on her cast. Wren works in the hospital and could have checked on her, found she was sleeping and wrote the message then.

2x8 Save The Date: Emily receives an A message while in the hospital on the lid of her coffee. The coffee is served by the staff at the hospital Wren works at. Wren is also one of the doctors taking care of Emily and also delivered the news about the human growth hormone found in her body. Wren is a med school graduate, so would know how HGH can affect someones athletic performance and would know how to inject it into foods or creams.

1x11 Moments Later: The tree with Alison + Ian carved into it is burned in a fireplace at the end of this episode and a spear thing is used to poke at the wood. At this point Wren is sleeping on a friend’s sofa after being kicked out of the Hastings’ house for cheating on Melissa.

2x21 Breaking the Code: The same spear things are propped up next to the fireplace at Wren’s new house. Maybe the spear things belonged to him and he just use them at the friend’s house to help burn the wood quickly and now he has them for decoration around the fireplace in his new home.

2x16 Let the Water Hold Me Down: The receipt Spencer finds in her lake house is from a newsstand in Philadelphia, where Wren lives. The receipt is only for magazines and gum and no one travels all the way into the city for just magazines and gum, they’d go to the local convenience store. However this would be the local convenience store for Wren.

2x24 If These Dolls Could Talk: Again, the doll shop is close to where Wren lives. The child in the doll shop told the girls that it was a guy and a girl who bought the voodoo doll to send to Alison and that those who bought it wanted to hurt her. Melissa has made it obvious that she hated Alison, and buying the dolls are a convenience to Wren as he lives not far from the doll shop and could get there quickly in the middle of the night. When A pulled the “Follow me, end up like me” prank, Wren would have been able to get in and out of the shop and get back to his house quickly without Spencer and the girls seeing him or arising suspicion.

I don’t think it’s wren but…HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
