Nope!
No no no no no no no.
You are Meg March.
You can do this.
It feels like it's been forever since I posted proper how-to video.
The last one I had time to plan and research tips for was...Valentine's Day.
I tried to write a guide for today. I conducted a very thorough research survey.
'How to determine your sexuality', or
'How to know if your best friend likes you',
or 'How to mend a relationship when your neighbour impersonates someone in it'.
But...it's all so confusing and complicated that I have no idea how to advise you.
I guess if I had one tip,
it would be, try open and honest communication.
So...here goes.
I've always assumed that I'm only attracted to boys, or men, or whatever,
but I've found someone.
Someone unexpected and special,
and they don't have a steady paycheck,
and they don't have a fitness regime,
and they certainly don't come from a huge family fortune,
but oh GOD, I get butterflies in my stomach every time she's around, and...
maybe there isn't a 'how-to" for that.
[phone vibrates]
Uh!
It's Joan, and she's only five minutes away. Okay, look...
Camera, I know I haven't always been happy about you being around,
but you've managed to capture some really great moments, so...
I'm hoping you can be my good luck charm today.
Okay!

Meg: Workin' it, workin' iiiit. No need to be nervous.
Meg: You got this, no need to be nerv-
[door knocks]
[door opens and closes]
Meg: Joan.
Joan: Hey, Meg.
Joan: How you doin'?
Meg: I'm good. I'm really good. I...well, I mean, I'm okay.
Meg: After the whole Laurie twitter thing...
Joan: Oh my god, yeah, that was really weird.
Joan: After Jo forced him to tell me what was going on,
Joan: I went back and I read all my "tweets".
It was kinda surreal.
But everything makes a lot more sense now.
I'm sorry.
No, you have no reason to be sorry. I'm sorry for the gap between what
I thought we talked and we actually talked about.
Well, I'm all caught up now, so you don't have to worry about that.
So...you invited me over here to "hang".
Not study, to "hang".
I'm pretty impressed.
I've been trying to loosen up since the whole Meg Meltdown thing.
Well, I'm on board for anything that makes you happy.
So, where is everybody?
Oh, they're out.
All three of them?
Yep.
Without you?
Yep.
So we could "hang"?
Yeah.
I feel pretty special right now.
I think I'm glowing a little bit. Can you see if I'm glowing a little bit?
Stop.
[they both giggle]
So, what do you wanna do? We could...shoot another vlog,
or we could watch a movie, or we could bake something together-
There's something I wanted to talk to you about.
Uh oh.
No, it's not an "uh oh" thing. Maybe it is, I don't know.
Um, it's just been on my mind, I guess. A lot, lately.
I'm here for you no matter what.
I know. You're perfect. It's just...
I have walls.
Emotional walls. Like, 20 kilometres high and like, made of concrete.
I mean, I...
I guess I've come to realize that I've never let myself have any serious attachment, you know?
Like, I had this plan, and if
anyone or anything deviated from the plan, it was a distraction, and
if I wanted to accomplish it, I couldn't let anyone but my family past the walls, because
then they would see that I didn't belong and the illusion would be broken.
But you...
you've seen me at my best and my worst, and you've supported me all through it.
And you challenge me to think differently, and try new things, and
I don't know, after that whole Laurie thing, I just...
I just realized how much I value us,
and...I was just...thinking...
[Meg composes herself]
I was just thinking about my orientation or...
I just wanted to say,
that...if I were to let my ridiculously high walls down for anyone,
it would be for you.
[Meg lets out a breath]
[Joan kisses Meg]
I feel the exact same way.
I've been wanting to do that for a long time, Meg March.
[they kiss]
[a lot]
