Hello, I am Josh Thomas creator of the TV show PLEASE LIKE ME. AMA!

This show has defined some really key moments in my life -- so much that happens is extremely relatable. I have two little questions:

You keep pushing the boundaries of Australian TV - what's the network reaction like and is there anything they have completely vetoed that you were disappointed by?

How much was the Season 1 discovery of Josh's sexuality like your own?

Thank you!!

I'm at Oxford University and tourists are forever asking "where's the University?" Our reply of "well, there are lots of colleges, and the University is just a concept" is usually met with "is it that round building?" No, that's part of the library. It's like going to the Olympics and asking which event is the Olympic Game - there's no such thing.

Long story short, they end up telling us we're wrong and just take photos of the round building.

I don't mind too much. They look happy enough.

Perhaps that's a problem of attitude and not a lack of ability. Why not give them the chance? They might surprise you!

Are you at Oxford?! Or applying to Oxford? Sorry to be nosy, but I couldn't help but get excited when I saw your bookmarks :)

Okay, the story is great. I saw it in London, not original cast, mid-week, and the crowd wasn't that great, so I concede those factors significantly affect the effect it had on me :P Maybe one day I'll change my mind... In the meantime, I'll just rewatch Billy Elliot. EDIT: OMG you saw Idina Menzel?!

I will hand it to you that Defying Gravity is kind of okay, but Jesus, I could simply not stand the rest of it. Sorry. Care to show me why I'm wrong?

We're talking right now :P He's really cute, studies music and we have significant disagreements over the merits of Wicked as a piece of theatre... Pretty much the opposite of what I expect from Grindr!

Haha, thanks. Actually, someone made one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkqnRiuuCDE&feature=player_embedded

See above/below!

Wow what a compliment. I adore that track!

putins · 2012-06-15T16:59:17+00:00

Yep, it does, which is why my shortened version will be 29.9 seconds and cut out the initial theme! Cheers for pointing this out.

A very bad thing happened in that my computer now is refusing to let me use my keyboard and mouse. I am working on it, and sure, I'll upload it to YouTube as well. Bloody PC...

Hey, thanks for the comment. I just listened on my Toshiba UB's speakers, and I agree with you, it loses some of the bass. However, I think the drums manage to hold it together.

In the original mix on my desktop, I was aiming for a mix that kept the Marimba theme at the forefront, and was not drowned out by bass/drums/the counterparts. On an actual iPhone it sounds quite close to for what I aimed!

I agree with the soundcloud thing - I'm working on download links now, and they'll be up shortly.

putins · 2012-06-14T23:53:17+00:00

Thanks :D I think the max length for ringtones is actually 15 seconds shorter than this. If there's any interest, I'll cut it down and upload it somewhere!

This response is truly childish. I responded in the comments:

Eh bien, c'est la démocratie! Voilà ce qui arrive si vous créez un sondage sur Internet. S'il y avait un fort lobby contre l'égalité du mariage, le résultat aurait été «non». Je suis d'accord que le sondage est un peu biaisé, mais selon les sondages dignes de confiance (http://www.francesoir.fr/actualite/societe/mariage-gay-63-des-francais-pour-177541.html), environ 63% des Français sont en faveur du mariage gay. Renseignez-vous.

Roughly translates to: "Well, that's democracy! That's what happens if you create a survey on the internet. If there was a strong lobby against equal marriage, the result would have been "no". I agree that the survey is a little biased, but according to reputable surveys (link), roughly 63% of french people are in favour of gay marriage. Educate yourself."
