As to Charles: Sometimes, very. It's not that his voice is hard, exactly -- I mean, I feel like I have a good idea of how his thought processes go -- it's just that he's so serious, and he tries so hard to be good. And while I love that about him, and I'm a sadomasochistic little angst-hound and like writing serious stuff . . . sometimes I just want to have fun. And Charles is pretty much the anti-crack.
