the times, they are a-changin'

Election Day. I voted. I'm gonna save my sticker, cause I feel (at 11:06pm) that we're gonna have a historical moment on our hands. Gobama!

I'm watching True Blood. Just in case you were wondering what I was watching. I always say what I'm watching anyway.

Gossip Girl last night was tremendous, as they often are. Chuck refers to himself as a thoroughbred horse. Serena encounters Aaron Rose again (still no Mookie?). Blair finally gets into Yale for REAL. Nate and Jenny get a little kissy-kissy that makes Vanessa jealous. Dan writes that story on "Charlie Trout." The littlest Humphrey child goes vagabond after a very successful guerrilla fashion show during an award ceremony for Bart and Lilly (former van der Woodsen) Bass.

Oh, Josh Schwartz, I do enjoy your productions. He did create The O.C.; and I'm gonna keep saying these things cause I don't know if you people actually retain the knowledge I spit out here.

Alexander Skarsgard is awesome in True Blood. The ancient vampire, Eric. The once Viking, Eric. He's so empowering, but he's so asexual, but I bet women are drawn to his beauty. Alexander himself has been voted "sexiest man in Scandinavia" for 5 years straight.

I skipped bio lab on Monday, so I'm gonna have to ask what the lab was on and perhaps make it up. We have lecture tomorrow... more sexual reproduction, and genes and whatever. Punnet squares. Rr, rr, RR oh the possibilities. Damn, we have a worksheet we're supposed to do, and be able to do for our test, I think.

Today, I read that Erica Hahn won't be on Grey's Anatomy anymore. WTF is up with that? No more Erica and Callie? Callie and McSteamy are gonna hook up then. Cause it just works that way, with Erica gone anyway.

like a bass out of hell

I'm listening to/watching the latest episode of Heroes. It's a great episode.

I still have yet to see the new Desperate Housewives.

Anyway, the new episode of Heroes contained a well-welcomed-back Kristen Bell aka Elle Bishop in Heroesland. I was very happy to see her return. I knew it was only a matter of time before she came back after being fired. There are two very Veronica Mars-esque motifs:

1) Lyle (cheerleader's brother) says, "The bitch is back." right before the intro credits. That is actually the series final episode title.
2) Elle says, "...let's go see the wizard." The reference to the "wizard" from Wizard of Oz came up on two occasions in season one of V. Mars. Both in the very first episode of the series.

I love my knowledge of popular television.

Today in my World Lit 2 class we talked about Tartuffe, the play. I saw it once in high school, done by the competition class of theatre. I never tried out for the class, but I was asked to, so nah. Tartuffe, however, is a kinda terrible play. But it does have it's importance during the Enlightenment in France. It was even banned several times.

Oh yes! Last night's Gossip Girl. Let me just say one thing: mini-cooper. Oh, and what would the combo name be if Chuck and Blaire actually did get together? (combo name meaning "TomKat" "Bennifer" etc) My only guess would be: Bluck or Chaire. HA. Anyways....

Little Jenny Humphrey is a crazy in this episode and Willa Holland guest stars as Agnes the model for Eleanor Waldorf. Willa Holland, for those who don't know ... was Marissa Cooper's little sister on The O.C., Kaitlin Cooper (thus the name mini-cooper). Agnes gets Little J to quit her internship with Eleanor.

Also, Aaron (Aaron Rose, but not really the one from the book series) the artist is a "cutie" I guess one would say. He's very Conor Oberst....esque. He and Serena should hook up, but it won't last. Maybe Dan and Serena have another shot at romance next season?

I read recently that Dexter has been signed on to do antoher TWO seasons. Very exciting. Looks like it's one season that's not "jumping the shark," like another series that I love dearly: Heroes. Jumping the shark is when critics start to go badly. Whatever article I read today said that Heroes started getting bad in season two.

I know!? Who would want to get rid of Heroes? Did they say Lost was jumping the shark when people started saying that it was getting really crazy (mainly around season three)?

Who cares? Lost is still on for another two seasons after it's most recent season: 4. Still out on DVD, I think. I wonder when season 5 is going to premiere.

Sometimes I feel like when I'm writing my blog I sound like a Veronica Mars voice-over or Gossip Girl intro/outro. Whatever.

if only seth cohen were real..... i would forgive his neurosis.....

I'm watching Season two of The O.C. and it's absolutely amazing. Just as I remember it being.

K and I are going to be watching Thank You For Smoking soon and I'm hoping it will be as good as everyone said it is. Adam Brody is in it, so it can't be too bad. *wink*

I also rented The O.C. season three, Veronica Mars season two, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer seasons 3-5. I didn't expect to get them all at once, but... it did happen and now I have a week to watch all of it. I might have to re-check some of these things out. I know how terrible it can be if you have so many things overdue, with a ten cent a day/per item charge.

I played Super Mario Galaxy for the first time today and it was a lot of fun. Some stages are harder than others, and my sister completed a stage I could not.

It sounds like there's a duck outside my window, but I think it's actually a frog. Or TOAD, as my father corrected me today. He said, "Toads live on land. Frogs live in the water." Whatev.

Thank You For Smoking is starting and my hopes are high।

Also, check out these etch-e-sketch drawings. Pretty sweet.

[[EDIT: Ok, sooooo Thank You For Smoking was pretty awesome. It makes me want to keep not smoking. And it makes me glad that I don't smoke cigarettes presently.]]

the o.c. still reigns supreme

Needless to say, The O.C. is a completely classic TV show. At least it is, in my opinion. 

Apparently, I haven't been blogging as much as I should be, and I've noticed I haven't blogged either. There really isn't much to talk about.

Ah, I did finish Twilight, and I have to say.... it's worth the read. Although the dialogue is cliché at times, the story is intoxicating. Edward Cullen is a rare man, or well... vampire. I've also started the second novel, New Moon.

In other news, I think my father has quit his job. I don't know if he's going to go back or not, but I'm thinking this is pretty selfish on his behalf. He can't quit his job now, without a back up plan. Without something to fall back on. I mean... now that my mom has a job, we have a good flow of cash coming in, but if he's not planning on going back to work.... I don't know. All I do know, is that this cannot end well, in whatever way this plays out. Never mind.

My sister and I made brownies the other day. They have walnuts in them, and they're incredibly great. Especially with some milk.

Buster keeps scratching his right ear. The outside, not the inside. I wonder why. He doesn't have any bugs. There ain't no bugs on the bug. 

Eh.

rachel

so many things to say....

  

Currently, I'm watching the first four episodes of The O.C. I absolutely love this show.

I never really liked the Pilot when I first saw it, but I just watched it for the second time today and it was great. I don't know why I didn't like it before. 

I also picked up the book Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer, today. I haven't finished the first chapter yet, but I will report on if it's worthy of being read.

Also, this evening I saw The Incredible Hulk. I absolutely love Edward Norton. He is one of my most favorite actors of all time. Especially his performance in Fight Club. That movie rocks almost as much as the book by Chuck Palahniuk. Which reminds me that I almost bought Snuff today, but it was more expensive than the paper-back version of Twilight. I talked my mom into buying it for me. :)

As for the Hulk movie, it was quite an epic vision of beauty. Tim Roth was fun as a crazy, power hungry military man. The romance between Liv Tyler and Edward Norton was very believable. If their on-screen chemistry would match their off screen chemistry, I'm sure they'd make a very nice couple. Except that Liv Tyler's married. 

I may have to see it again, because when I saw it, I was sitting on the first row in the theatre. I had to look to the left and the right to see the whole screen. It was a tad bit difficult, and now my neck hurts on top of it all.

I've been reading this fan-written book called James Potter and the Hall of Elder's Crossing. I forget the man's name who wrote it, and I'm too lazy to open the file on my computer that I have of this book, complete with drawn pictures at the beginning of the chapters and a table of contents. The book is 405 pages as well. I found it online and there was a .pdf file that you can download to read. Of course, you need the newest version of Adobe Acrobat. 

I have a headache. I think it's because of my sinus. Great.

desperate housewives vs. the o.c.

Is Mike Delfino the older version of Ryan Atwood? They sure do act alike. Maybe Ryan Atwood had to go into the Witness Protection Program. But what would Seth, Summer and Taylor do? Who knows. Maybe I'm just going crazy.

im watching lost ... again

I've never declared my love for Adam Brody on my blog before, but that was until I found this picture. This is a very nice picture. He looks a little European. 

Today was spent doing a lot of Gossip Girl watching with L. You can tell it is produced by the same people that did The O.C. I guess I only realize it because I've seen it so many times. The O.C. I mean. Maybe you just have to look hard enough, or be familiar with The O.C.

I have a terrible headache right now. I think it might be sinus, but I haven't taken the proper medicine, so I should probably do that. 

We also watched some Desperate Housewives too.

is this a hobby of yours, underdog, diggin' holes? - sawyer to alex, lost

I absolutely wish I had more television shows on DVD. Like Ugly Betty, for example. And the rest of the series of The O.C. Those would be nice to add to my collection. I do so enjoy watching and commenting on the shows as I watch them.

Still watching Lost, of course. It's only been about thirty minutes. I would like to go into depth about my views and theories on Lost, but it seems futile, since no one who reads my blog actually watches Lost. 

Since it's Memorial Day, would Blockbuster be open today? I really want to rent season 2 of Desperate Housewives. I want to know more about these housewives that are so desperate. 

I'm getting tired of how dirty my computer is. I don't understand how it's possible that it can be so dirty. However, being a white computer, it does have its disadvantages. 

I love JJ Abrams and the producers of Lost. They can twist a story like no other team of producers. But that's to say about all show's producers. Who else could spin a story like that? I want to be a writer for a TV show one day.

we only got 4 minutes to save the world

I have much to report on Gossip Girl this evening. 

First off: 

Tonight was the season one finale and it was pretty awesome! And mind-bending. Georgina was sent away, although I heard she's coming back for season two? We'll see. Little Jenny Humphrey gets an internship with Eleanor Waldorf - isn't that Blair's mom? And aren't Blair and Jenny like... archenemies? Or something....

Chuck is up to no good, as usual, although he has stolen the Queen B's heart and left her alone on a plane to Tuscany with a hunky associate that works with her father. Unknowingly, of course, on both of their behalves. Blair doesn't know that Chuck ditched the plane to have a tryst with a girl named Amelia. 

Also, it looks like Dan and Serena are done for now. Also, Vanessa and Nate are done, but does this mean that it will just switch over, like it should have been from the first place? It seems like kismet, right? Dan and Vanessa, the trendy indie kids who live in the Upper West Side and Brooklyn, respectively, get together after being BFF for 13 years? And Nate and Serena who lost their virginity to each other almost a year or two ago. What will happen in the next season of Gossip Girl? The finale left many questions lingering in my mind. 

It really takes some getting used to. Going from the book series to the TV show. It's like ... two different worlds. Kind of like parallel universes. Things go differently than in the other. At the end of the book series, they graduated, and at the end of the season, they just have a summer break. What, were they juniors this year? They were seniors the whole time in the book series. 

As for the other news: 

The newest It Girl novel, Tempted, will be coming out next month. I'm excited. Also, when I was on the Alloy Entertainment web page, I read that the It Girl novels are under development for film from Universal and a one hour series with the CW. Gossip Girl and the It Girl both on the CW.... is this actually going to happen? I mean, really. 

There are many book series that are undergoing development with other stations like ABC family and all that. It seems kind of sad that most of these won't get picked up for a second season. Maybe.  

I've been wanting to watch the other seasons of The O.C. and some Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but the library doesn't carry any Buffy and nothing past season one of The O.C. which I own. The search on the web was futile. I should go up there and tell them they need to get new seasons of The O.C. and that they need some Buffy. Or maybe I'll just keep my mouth shut. 

So, today X and I started actually sanding the front door of her parents house. It's a lot easier with the sander, but it's still a pain in the ass. After holding the sander for a while, it kind of tickles your hands. Also, X's front door is RED, so afterwards we were covered in red dust. X's mom asked her if she got too much sun today. Haha. The shower afterwards was very nice as well. 

Today, T also got her braces, but she said they hurt her a lot and went to sleep early tonight. So I'm sitting at home, blogging. X is coming over soon and we might watch a movie. My parents rented 27 Dresses, Juno and Cloverfield. I've already seen Juno which I loved. And I saw Cloverfield the other night, but I'd totally watch it again because it's ridiculously crazy. Can't say I've seen 27 Dresses because I haven't. I do enjoy Katherine Heigl though, and I do enjoy some romantic comedies. I really liked 13 Going on 30, even though I don't really like Jennifer Garner. It was cute, plus I like Mark Ruffalo. 

p&l (for now)

I was just thinking....

If The O.C. were still on, I bet Seth Cohen would be excited about the new Hellboy movie coming out, since he said it was the only comic-gone-movie he'd watch. Or at least that's what I think, and ... I know a lot about The O.C. 

Anyways, I sent an email to the editor of the MS press, if I haven't mentioned this before. I'm kinda desperate for a job by now, so if I can start working for them again, it should be pretty sweet. I didn't really want to have to go back into newspapers, but what the hell else am I going to do? Until I can find a real job or something. Who knows.

It looks as though there's a storm coming in from the North East. It's going to hit maybe Sunday or Monday and last all next week. I'm not looking forward to it. Considering tomorrow will be the last day us kids in Mississippi will be seeing, we might want to catch up on our sunrays while we have 'em. Grab your tanning lotion and hit those towels, ladies! 

Then, either burnt or bronzed, you'll be kept inside somewhere doing something like watching mass amounts of television or reading or whatever. 

AH! and it's my bff L's birthday today! 21! Woo!

And I can't help but bragging, but I bought the new Gossip Girl, The Carlyles today. Ugh, although I will be giving it to L as her birthday present... but I'm going to read it first! That's what happens when you buy a present early I guess...

It is awful easy to be hard-boiled about everything in the daytime, but at night it is another thing. - Chapter 4, The Sun Also Rises

I had a pretty good day today. 

Right now, I'm watching The O.C. and it's probably one of my favorite episodes of the series: The Strip, which is where Seth, Ryan, Sandy, Jimmy and Caleb go to The VEGAS! Ah, this is such a good show.

I've been reading The Sun Also Rises on and off today and I have to say, I've never read Hemingway before, but I'm really enjoying this book. I still haven't read the short story L referred for me to read. Alas.

The name of the novel is taken from the Bible, Ecclesiastes 1:5: "the sun also ariseth."

The day began with me waking up and cuddling with Buster. I took a shower and then the family and I went to the mall. I got some new clothes and a new pair of shoes. It was very exciting. New clothes! All girls love new clothes. And shoes, right?

I had a steak for dinner and it was pretty good. I also brought back some for Buster and a huge brownie, but it needed to be eaten with milk, so that's why I brought it home with me.

Julie Cooper and Kirsten's little sister Hailey are cat fighting at Julie's bachelorette party. Funny stuff, funny stuff.

Oh yes, I wanted to post a new picture that M took of me, but it was taken with a cell phone camera, and it looks a little fuzzy, but you can kind of see my hair colors.

And here it is. Buster just stretched and it was cute. 

Well, I think I'm gonna get done with this post.

p&l

Time is a curse

I've been thinking of things to write down about today, but I can't remember a lot of these things at the moment.

I do remember this: I was driving to Ruby Tuesdays to fill out an application for employment. I had put make up on. Mascara and eyeliner really irritate my eyes because I don't wear make up that often. But, as I was on my way to the restaurant, I closed my eyes slightly and I realized that with mascara on, my eyelashes looked like spider legs and it kind of freaked me out. Spiders in general, kind of freak me out. 

As usual, I'm watching Veronica Mars. It is kind of my nightly routine to end my day watching a few episodes of the show. 

I didn't get to see Gossip Girl on Monday, and I'm a little bummed about it. I'll get to see a re-run on Sunday night, so it's not so bad. Then, it will be just like seeing the next episode the next night. 

Buster is looking out the window. I think he's smelling something riding in on the wind. Now he's scratching himself after getting fleas from M's house. Or at least I'm sure that's where he got them. 

I can already see dust collect on my ceiling from my smoking too much. 

Whatever. 

I think what I'm going to do tomorrow is:

• lay out
  
• clean my room, yuck
• read books, which ones, I don't know
  
• hopefully get a call back from Ruby Tuesdays
  
• go through my books in the garage
  
• re-arrange my room? 

That looks like a lot of things I have head of me tomorrow. I don't know how much of this I'm actually going to get done. I know for a FACT that I will be laying out, because I didn't get to today, or yesterday. I need to become the bronzed sun goddess I once was. Those many, many years ago. Well, maybe it was only two, but you know what .... it needs to be so again.

Thinking of laying out reminds me of Jfer, Malibu and Kasi, I wish we had a nickname for her. If we did, I don't remember it. Pool time used to be our time. Laying out. Reading Cosmopolitan Magazine in British accents. I miss those days oh so much. It's terrible we have to be so far from each other. But I look at the puzzle piece tattoo that we all have, and it makes me happy knowing that I'll always have those girls and that time we had together. It was a time that is probably teen-novel worthy. A lot of things happened my freshmen year of college that changed me, and I think those changes are for the better. I'm more clear headed. I'm more focused on where I want my life to go. Kasi sometimes didn't like what we would read aloud. You see, Kasi had a "comfort zone." She rarely stepped out of it. However, I think she never really cursed before meeting me. I could be wrong though.

Maybe I can make it a summer project to write my own typical teenage novel. It won't be so much coming of age, since the characters will be in college, but it will be a more coming to terms with who you are, and to not be so self conscious, like people are in high school. 

Or at least that's what I think I've learned. It's not what people think about it that's important in life. It's who you are and being happy with who you are. What I mean, is that if I could go back to high school, it would be much different for me. I mean, I'm not saying I'd be uber-popular or anything, but I would be more outgoing and more not self conscious about the person that I was always meant to be: the outcast. Even though I was already acquaintances with almost everyone in my graduating class.

Maybe I'll read Madame Bovary tomorrow. I put Anna Karenina on hold at the library. I also have a Gossip Girl novel waiting for me there, so I should probably put going to the library on my things to do tomorrow. 

One of my favorite characters on Veronica Mars is Cindy "Mac" Mackensie. Mac is another comical character with crazy hair colors that vary from episode to episode. She's a technological genius and helps out Veronica with a lot of the more difficult hacker type stuff that needs to be done in order to solve the mystery. She's played by Tina Majorino, also a co-star from the hits Big Love and Napoleon Dynamite.

Another of my favorites is Eli "Weevil" Navarro. He's such a badass, but a softie as well. He's a good soul when it comes down to it. He is one for justice, and not completely bad. Even if he is the leader of the PCHer's: Neptune High's notorious biker gang. He's played by Francis Capra. He hasn't really been in anything you would recognize him from, besides Veronica Mars. However, he was on one episode of The O.C. I do believe I mentioned that before though.

I think I've talked about Veronica Mars characters enough for today. I wish I had started reading one of the more sophisticated books I rented from the library, but that hasn't happened yet, so I'm a little sorry that I don't have anything intellectual to talk about. I can't wait to start taking philosophy classes again. Or theology classes. Either one would be pretty awesome. I mean, any of my major/minor classes are going to be awesome, but I still have a ton of core classes to finish off. 

I haven't decided what I want to do. College-wise yet. Ole Miss or back to USA? 

Making mental note: I'm almost out of tea, so I should probably go get some more soon.

I love Logan Echolls. Ugh, ok, no more Veronica Mars, I said.

On Guitar Hero 3, my band was supposed to be called Mars, but it ended up being only Mar. Whatev.

It's National Incubus Day

4/21 is National Incubus Day. Also, two years ago today, I had alcohol poisoning. Good times. 

Anyway, I just wanted to post to thank those who have clicked on the ads here on my blog. Although it only gives me a few cents each time someone clicks on a link, it's very kind. I greatly appreciate your devotion to my progress. Or just clicking on the ads. :)

I've been watching The O.C. and reading Rant at the same time. Buster is very cute right now. He's asleep; he's snoring. 

Julie Cooper wants to send her daughter Marissa to a mental institution because she overdosed on prescription medicine in Tijuana in the last episode. Ryan, Seth and Summer broke her out of the hospital using a clever scheme including Summer being a candy striper. But she really is a candy striper.

I started a short story last night. I'm calling it "A Scouting Isle." It's about a 12-year-old boy who is sent to an island on a dare because mysterious things happen on the island. He experiences a few things that include a group of camping boy scouts, or are they? I'm thinking about sending it out to try and get it published... if I like what I come up with, that is. If I even finish it. I mean, I have to finish this short story. It's a short story. SHORT. It's not hard to write a short story.

I <3 The O.C.

Here I am, posting again, and yet again watching The O.C. 

My nights are spent watching TV or reading, or both. 

Infinity pools, Range Rovers, Chino, sex and Peter Gallagher. I'm thinking Blake Lively would have made a good replacement as Marissa Cooper if she had never died and just traded Mischa Barton off like some cheesy, lame soap opera. Blake Lively being the girl who plays Serena van der Woodsen on the CW's Gossip Girl. The topic I talked about not two posts ago. Probably even my last two posts were about Gossip Girl. 

However, being here, declaring my love for The O.C. is not something I need to do, it should be well known by now. Now, it's more my love of the characters that keeps me watching this show over and over again, even after I've seen the series finale for the fourth time. But whatever. 

Eli "Weevil" Navarro (Francis Capara, from Veronica Mars) makes an appearance on The O.C. as an inmate that wants to fight Ryan Atwood. Some The O.C. AND Veronica Mars trivia for ya there.

The O.C.

The O.C. is a great TV show. Seth and Sandy Cohen are my favorite father-son tv duo. 

Dead Marissa Cooper. Except I'm watching the first season. Summer Roberts certainly does have a drastic change throughout the series. It ends on an up-note in the fourth season's series finale. I never would have thought Ryan Atwood and Taylor Townsend would end up together, but they did, and I guess it worked that way. I don't know why I care that much.

Julie Cooper. How can anyone live their lives without conniving, malicious Julie Cooper, constantly trying to get Ryan Atwood kicked out of Newport Beach.

I think I might be going insane

Ah, Veronica Mars. I can't help but get away from the quick witted blonde. Not many people can, in fact. Evil villains and minor criminals alike both quiver in the shadow of the Mars last name. 

I was at the library today and I was just like ... there's Veronica Mars, season one. Why not just watch it all over again? I do have The O.C. season one, and I should just watch that, since I haven't in a long time. Maybe I need a little Seth Cohen to set my mind at ease. 

However, I'm watching the first episode, actually, the extended pilot. Veronica Mars is introduced to us as a junior in high school, living with her single father in an apartment in Neptune, CA. Veronica's best friend was murdered a year ago, Lilly Kane. Logan Echolls was Lilly's boyfriend. Veronica saves Wallace Fennel from being duct-taped to a flag pole by a gang of motorcycle thugs led by Eli "Weevil" Navarro. Veronica and Wallace end up being BFF for the rest of the series. I can't help but love this show. I think if I had my way, I would become a criminal investigator. Work for the FBI. I think I could get into the minds of the criminally insane. Maybe. Maybe I can just change my major again.......

I can't think of a clever title, wait... Happy Hump Day

So right now I'm eating a boston creme pie yogurt. It's pretty good, considering I've never really had a real boston creme pie. I'm also watching Lost, which is something that makes me happy. 

I got season 3 from the library the other day, even though I put season 2 on hold first and I haven't watched it yet. Oh well, what's a girl to do when she needs something to entertain herself? I suppose I should add that I've already seen every episode of Lost, I just like to re-watch them. I've re-watched a lot of TV shows. 

TV shows I've watched more than once:

Lost

Heroes

The O.C.

Those are just the ones I watched completely through to the end twice. Now, I have watched a few random seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And random episodes of Gossip Girl. Watching TV is kind of a beautiful thing.

The Others have just invaded the boat that Sayid, Jin and Sun had stolen from them. Sun is the only one on the boat, while Sayid and Jin are on the beach, making a fire to lure in the Others. Very scary stuff, huh? I love this show. Just about as much as I love the show Veronica Mars. 

This weekend, I'll be traveling to the lovely Kentwood, Louisiana. Birthplace of Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears. We'll be eating at Britney's favorite family restaurant, I don't know the name of it, but it will be a lot of fun. Also, I think we'll be camping out in the country, drinking some beer and roasting marshmallows over an open fire. Or something. There will be a morning river trip and all sorts of things of that nature. 

Nature being the operative word here. We're going to get out of the hustle and bustle of city life, even if I don't live in a city anymore, I still feel .... burdened by this civilized life we all live. If only we could all live in tents and shower in waterfalls, harvest our own foods and whatnot. Live off the land, as they say, right? Or maybe we wouldn't shower at all.... haha, just kidding. 

If anyone out there still hasn't seen Lost, like my parents, you should see it immediately. Season 3 and 4 (the one on TV now) are probably the best seasons yet. However, the whole series is pretty epic, if you ask me. About as epic as Heroes season 1. 

Sawyer and Kate are my favorite couple on Lost. Even if they don't act like a couple most of the time, they're meant to be together. The island brought them together. Hahaha. It's something that would happen though... on this show. 

I'm also torn between what I want to do with my next college semester. Which college should I go to? USM or Ole Miss? I mean.... What should I do? M wants me to go with her to USM, but I already kind of told L, X and K that I would go to Ole Miss and live out the rest of my college career there. It's a very frustrating decision that I have to make, because I have to make that decision very soon. I have to apply for admission somewhere, right? I should be graduating next year, but I'm still only a sophomore. There are so many ways I could go. I could go with C to New Orleans and go to UNO, but my mother doesn't want me to go to NOLA. 

Whatever. It's too much to think about and I still haven't found a job yet. Too much on my mind makes me crazy, probably. Yes, I'm pretty sure it does.

Monday, Monday.....

A lot has happened in the last 5 days that I haven't written. 

First off, Dorothy returned Thursday night. If you don't know who Dorothy is, then it's probably best you don't. 

Friday night I went to a party in Park Town. It was my friend JP's house that we were at. Well, he's not really a friend, more like an acquaintance from high school. Also, another person I met while in college was there, GG. It was an interesting night. My friend R ended up getting wasted at the party and my other friend M and I had to take him home in the pouring rain. Well, technically I didn't bring him home, M did. I just helped bring his stuff to M's car. I had followed M and R to Park Town. I came home and my sister S was like, "Are you soaking wet?" and I was. 

I'm doing my recently-usual routine of watching Veronica Mars and writing a blog. I really do love this show. I wish it hadn't been cancelled. I'm watching Season Two, and I think this season is the best one out of the three of them. Logan Echolls is my favorite anti-hero of the teen sit-com. Although, I can't decide if Ryan Atwood from The O.C. is an anti-hero or not. 

Today I started my Until-I-Find-One job search. I really need to find one. I did apply for a few jobs that I know I either don't want or am not going to get, such as Restaurant Manager for Ruth's Chris Steak House. Not gonna happen. I also applied at the Dollar General. They'll be interviewing this week, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!! (I don't know if I can really see myself as a faithful employee of the Dollar General. I wasn't faithful at the pharmacy I worked at in high school, why a dollar store?) 

I can't think of anything else right now except for my love for Veronica Mars.

Something a little less long....

Alan Dale is an actor who has been in very many shows that I enjoy. Such as: The O.C. as Caleb Nickle. Ugly Betty as Bradford Meade. And Lost as Charles Whidmore. He was an Australian actor in a soap opera called Neighbors, I think that's what it was called. 

Anyway, in three of the four shows he's been in, he was killed off with heart failures. What a fun fact for the day, right? If you can tell me which show he didn't die in, I'll give you a prize. 

Currently, I'm watching Ugly Betty. Alan Dale is giving a Thanksgiving dinner... brunch or something for all the editors of the magazines from Meade Publications. 

I think I'm the living embodiment of Betty Suarez. Or at least I would be if I was in her position. We're slightly similar, I think. "I was almost run over by those Queer Eye guys riding a giant pilgrim," said Betty. 

I rented the first season from the library today. Along with two Gossip Girl books. Well, one was an It Girl book, they're practically the same thing. 

I can't really think of anything else to write about. Ugh.... 

So I guess this is goodbye for now.
