rps w/hal

so I just read an interview for Hal sparks here , that he came out as totally jealous of gale and randy in it and was wondering if there was any rps that deals with him being jealous of the two of them.
thanks!

I just have to say here and this may not be related to any of your comment, but for some reason something about Hal Sparks has always hit a bad nerve with me. I could not stand him, for anything. I even tried on various attempts to get over this unnatural, in my opinion, hatred over him.

This is also before I ever watched Queer as Folk. Before I looked into anything related to Queer as Folk. I just remember watching VH1 specials where he would add something 'snarky' to whatever they were discussing and the whole time I kept thinking, 'Good God, shut up.' *facepalm* (I watched QAF last May???)

I think even outside of Mikey's character...I couldn't ever really give him a chance because it was Hal Sparks. (Not saying that I did not see tons of issues, but I couldn't even give him a chance to grow on me.)

Yes, he's a bit of a pompous douche bag on those "I love the 80's" shows on VH1.

...I think he just tries way too hard to even be considered funny. I liked Michael much more than I like Hal.

I have exactly the opposite problem!

I know precisely nothing about Hal Sparks beyond he was on Queer as Folk, until I read this post I'd never read an interview with him or anything like. And I still can't stand him. I do however, loathe Michael. I'm not even sure why, I mean he's a shit sometimes but come on - no one on that show wasn't at least once.

I've tried very hard to stop judging Hal by what I think of Mikey, but apparently I suck at it.

However, after reading this article I don't feel so bad about it. If he'd even tried to be just a little bit subtle or amibiguous about who he was talking about it wouldn't have been so bad. But he didn't, he made it insanely obvious, and that just struck me as unprofessional if nothing else.
