She just finished watching The Princess Dowry and she actually said “eww” and then tried to say “its not going to happen” and when I was like “it IS happening, its on your screen right now” and she was like “Its over before it even started” and I’m like “wth one month from now its going to be HAPPENING THEN TOO” seriously I knew my mother was fighting joining the dair fandom but REALLY???

Its like the crazy people who infest our Dair tag have taken over my own mothers mind. The worst is she’s just like them, she refuses to have an actual conversation about it because she is fighting realizing that she’s wrong. I’m almost scared to go to sleep… but seriously if my own mother supports Chuck I fear for what she’ll consider acceptable behavior in any guy I ever start dating. I need someone who isn’t going to approve of anything Chuck-Like.

I’m going to force her to discuss this with me later this week. I’m going to print out a time line and parallel references and quotes from the show, from the writers, from the producers, anything and everything to get to her snap out of it. She loves Seth and Summer, she needs to realize this is the Seth and Summer of the UES!

OH MY GOD MY MOTHER IS A CHAIR SHIPPER AND I FEAR FOR MY LIFE.

Both my sister and I ship Dair. So thankfully we didn’t get that gene!

A after watching the episodes and everything that lead up to the homecoming episode have had a shift about Klaus. A shift that I believe I was intended to have. After meeting Klaus’ family, and seeing that he considered Stefan his best friend, and realizing how isolated he must have felt growing up with a father who didn’t really like him much to start, more so once he had proof he wasn’t biologically his… and then the way he cried when talking to Michael…

To me I feel like the writers have done a huge job of making him more human, from the way he thought he’d always be alone when his first attempt at hybrids all died, to little things since the start of the season.

I am not saying that he’s suddenly some saint. Far from, NONE of the characters on the show ever will be. What I am saying is that after re-watching the first two season recently, I have noticed that the show does an excellent job of giving us a villain, and then turning that villain into an ally again the next new villain or “bad guy.”

First it was Damon, who now helps fight all other bad guys, then the bad guy was Katherine who later helped to fight new bad guy Elijah, who then after being woken up, worked (at first) to stop new bad guy Klaus. All I’m saying is if they could do it with EVERY single “bad guy” we’ve had thus far, why couldn’t they do the same with Klaus.

My sister is convinced that they will find a way to kill Klaus before the end of the season. I think maybe they will find a way to bind his werewolf side again, or rather that’s what I’d like to happen because I don’t want him to be off the show.

I have grown fond of the actor who plays Klaus and think there is a high amount of potential for where the story lines can go from here.

When I tried to explain to my sister my view point on the topic she refused to even see it my way, and decided to inform me that as far as she was concerned I was suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, which really doesn’t even fit this situation at all!

Your thoughts?

I was supposed to write this two days ago… and as it is now hours before the premiere I figured I’d toss out a short blurb to at least get my thoughts on what I felt before the first episode.

First I have to shout, I SURVIVED THE HIATUS!

It was surprisingly easier to survive than I thought it would be. Although I must say I was busier this summer, and I did have some good shows to hold me over in the mean time, so it wasn’t horrible at all. For which I’m thankful! I also have to give props to my “forwood” “delena” and “katherine pierce” tags on tumblr though, because spending time in there gave me something to old on to as I waited.

In anticipation of this new season if I was going to list off the top of my head right now with out editing the list the things that I am most excited about they would be as follows:

Forwood (should be at the top of everyone’s list!)
Jeremy’s new power! (please let me have my jenna back)
Katherine anything! (favorite character)
Delena (obviously)

I dont know when but as much as Delena was at the top of my list competing with Forwood, somewhere over the summer my excitement dropped. (It’s still on the list though and that’s all that matters.)

I have no idea what to expect from tonight’s episode. I have pretty much been avoiding spoilers and trailers since the first initial one hit the web a few weeks back! I cant wait to settle into my sofa in about three hours! :]]

Well the episode starts off with some previously on, in case you forgot some of the major story lines and I was happy to see that I was pretty on point with what I did remember from the end of season three in my previous 90210 anticipation blog.

Then our first shot of what we think is the present is Naomi and Max in the hospital. Where we see them both nervous about this first appointment with the doctor, who comes into the room to announce that Naomi is in fact not pregnant that her previous blood test was a false positive.

Which is something that “happens” and I wish doctors wouldn’t say things like that, because it shouldn’t happen. Don’t let me think I’m growing this life inside of me and that snatch it away. You should have done three tests before telling me what the actual answer was!

Getting back to the show, Max goes into typical teen boy response to finding out he didn’t actually knock up is recently graduated from high school girlfriend. “Talk about dodging a bullet, we almost threw our lives away.” Which might have been what he was actually thinking, but there is a huge difference between what you think and what you should say out loud!

Flash to Naomi arriving back in LA and suddenly we’re at an end of summer beach party with the whole gang. We learn what pretty much everyone did during the summer in a quick 5 minutes. Naomi decides to go after the head jock of the college she’ll be attending, auditioning him to be the next Mr. Naomi Clark, only to quickly learn she’s at the bottom of the totem poll in college and the bottom is not a place Naomi Clark stays for long. Which is why she’s now on the hunt for the perfect college house.

As far as the other and (as Naomi would refer to them) less important story lines go. We learn that the family of the woman who left her home and fortune to Annie is suing to contest the will. Which was my prediction last season when it happened. I hope Annie is able to win, but I saw this coming a mile away.

Liam…

Ah… Liam… so he shows up in front of Annie at her car in the middle of the street and plops an engagement ring down on the hood of her car with a “let do this” as a proposal and a smile on his face. I would have laughed in his face and told him to get the fuck away from my car, considering he disappeared off the radar for the entire summer and didn’t tell her one way or another what he really wanted from their relationship, but that’s just me.

Silver and Navid end up having his little sister move into Silvers studio with them.

First… HELL TO THE NO! I just graduated high school I’m not trying to raise another high school baby.

Second… I could have sworn that Silvers place was like the guest house to her sisters big house… and if that’s the case, why don’t she and Navid just move into the big house now that it’s them and a third??? Did I miss something? Is she living somewhere completely different and I just missed that some how? Let me know!

Dixon finds out that Navid screwed him over when it came to his applications for college and now he’s out of a place to live because the male dorms are all full. His response to realizing this was “I’m homeless, I’m a homeless black man.” and I must say that I busted out laughing! He’s at a beach bar with Navid, Teddy and Liam when he says this, and their lack of sympathy is amusing.

Liam has decided to drown his sorrows in the bottle, and is complaining about not knowing what girls want and that’s when Dixon tosses out another funny, that I think might have gone under the radar but still produced a good laugh from me.

“at least write her a love song”
“a love song?”
“I don’t know!”

and by itself it’s not all that funny but the actor delivers that “I dont know” in just the right way that you cant help but bust out laughing.

As follows Naomi finds the perfect house. Insults the son of the current owner unknowingly and ends up playing an extra half million unnecessarily. Moves in, and puts together a huge party that has plenty of pazazz but no planning. So many things go wrong, from the cop showing up to give her a ticket, to said owners son showing up with Dixon, to getting arrested for said son’s (I still don’t know his name) marijuana plants. All happening in honesty because she didn’t want to take the time to deal with a letter she received from Max and all the residual heartache she’s feeling from what happened with him. 

And to finish… I love Ivy, I’m pretty sure Liam almost died at sea and that’s why he’s making stupid rash choices (like spending all his near death experience money buying a bar because he was getting drunk instead of talking out his problems.) AnnaLynne McCord is absolutely gorgeous and an amazing actress. She’s taken Naomi from being so very one dimensional in the first season to having so many layers that it takes my breath away to watch her on screen. Naomi may be my favorite character on the show!

I agree 100% with Silver’s refusal to let Adrianna just have a clean slate on this. At first I wasn’t sure, but when you hear her admit that she was going to kill herself you realize just hope serious it all was with even clearer eyes. Adrianna took it passed the level of forgivable.Then to make matters more blurry Adrianna being the manipulative person she is hooked up with Dixon’s new roommate which gives her an in where there wouldn’t have been on otherwise. Sneaky bitch.

All in all I really did love this first episode of the season, but I’m wary on next weeks episode. The whole first day of college… blah blah blah… I’m more excited to get to episode three when we’re more into a flow of things… but that’s just me.

How people treat you is their karma; How you react is yours.

I am not a mean spirited person. I don’t ever seek to hurt people, or cause drama, or toss monkey wrenches into situations. That’s not to say that I’ve never been mean, hurt people, caused drama or tossed said wrenches…

The best way for me to describe my personality to people, would be to say I am highly extroverted while being equally happy with being alone. I love spending time with people and talking and laughing, but I have realized there are some people I dont need to spend time with because being around them ends up putting me in a sour mood when it comes to dealing with other people.

For instance having to say i’m “dealing” with people just makes me cringe. Because inevitably I will arrive at a point where I’m no longer interacting with someone, I’m putting up with them and that’s never fun for me. I even have what me and my sister call “the voice” for people who get put into that category. Its something she pointed out to me a while back, and its a voice I give to the people who annoy me the most, when recounting things they’ve said to other people.

As a talker, I like to have the last word, so I have a tendency to argue the technicalities, for most situations. I am also huge on equal ownership of problems. If your trying to tell me what I did wrong and you played a part in it in some way then you need to own it. I don’t know what I’m going to need to find when I start looking for a husband… I think it’ll be an interested search for someone who I never want to give “the voice”! :]]

So while I’m not a believer in the true sense of karma, I do believe in the golden rule. It is simply harder to put into action when dealing with people who don’t exercise the same.

Doing onto others as I would have them do onto me, one person at a time!

Of all the shows returning to the CW this fall, this may be the one I’m least anticipating. In fact, it is the one I’m least anticipating, but then again it always is and yet every season they pleasantly surprise me!

I know we’re supposed to come back this season with everyone out of high school and beginning their “adult” lives. Unfortunately most shows don’t last past the first after high school graduation season, but I’ve got high hopes for this one!

When we last saw the show, Naomi was telling her then boyfriend that she was knocked up with his spawn, and then the show cut to black. (at least I think it did.) Since the first shot we really see of her in the preview for this next season is of her strutting her stuff in a bikini I’m not sure where the writers are taking that storyline.

Does she lose the baby, abort the baby, is she still preggers and just not showing yet? Not sure and curious to see! A lot of people don’t go for the pregnancy story lines on these YA shows, and I get it, but I also think if its done well it can work. (Although my thoughts on this could be in major part because I tend to write pregnancies into my fanfictions when given the opportunity!) :]]

I dont remember where most of the other characters were actually… um… Dixon… going to college. Annie, well she has her own house and tons of money now so she can go to the school of her dreams and she’s set on the cash front. Also her and Liam are still on, and based on the trailers he’s trying to lock the pussy down. Silver was recovering from the torment of Adrianna going all psycho on her and messing with her pills. Teddy… I don’t remember.  Everyone else… I don’t remember. I think Naomi’s sister came back, but I honestly couldn’t tell you.

Despite not remembering a lot, and after writing this out, I’m actually pretty excited for this show to hit the air on Tuesday! Time to go in and edit all my recordings! So thankful for DVR!

Okay so before recently I never had any desire to really write any fanfictions about real life people because I’m apart of so many fictional fandoms that there was no need. I think the only reason I’m questioning the matter at all is because there is a real chance my most recent fanfiction could be read by the person in the story.

Going back in time a bit, I wrote a couple “mini convo-fics” on my shipper tumblr about Emma Watson and Tom Felton. I didn’t think much of it because what are the chances that Tom or Emma is going to stumble upon my tumblr and read about themselves in a made up scenario? Not very likely.

I’ve heard about people writing fanfictions about the band All Time Low and it getting back to the band, and I never thought much about it. So now after the day I had yesterday (aka Laurel reading my blog post about her and following me on here and twitter) I’m feeling on the fence about what to do. On one hand I’m like fuck it I’m a writer I’m allowed to express my creative genius however I want, screw the media! :]] On the other I’ve never had to consider if I was staying in character this much.

When dealing with fictional characters, you dont have to think too much on if what you think they are thinking about people and who they are on the inside, is on point and now i’m feeling uncomfortably at a crossroads. I fucking hate this!

So I’m curious what you all think, before Laurel Stucky became aware of my tumblr and who I am, I was writing a fanfiction about her and Kenny and now I’m stuck!!! I think I’ll go directly to the source, but I’d love your thoughts too!!!

I’ve said before, like the majority of Gossip Girl fans I started out shipping Chuck and Blair. I fell in love with their chemistry in episode seven of the first season, and really connected with the whole “Chuck actually likes someone for the first time and doesn’t know how to handle it” situation. I was happily along for the ride as they worked to overcome the obstacles that they put in their own way throughout season two. I loved when they came together during the season two finale, and was very happy with how they were as a committed couple during the beginning of season three.

I dont think its fair to list all of the negative things that happened over the course of the entire show and then call the period of time when they were happy and faithful and loyal to one another as “boring” it was a great relationship, and they did love one another. It just became clear that Chuck didn’t love her as much as she loved him in the long run.

I became aware of Dair shippers way back during the first season, but didn’t think much more on the topic. When the Dan and Blair friendship began I immediately feel in love with their new dynamic and the chemistry between them. It didn’t take more than one episode (after the winter hiatus) to convince me that I loved whatever it was that was growing between the two.

In the episode arc leading up to the first kiss I became more and more attached to the couple. Yet it wasn’t until the spring hiatus that I began to look back over the many things that had taken place on the show, and realized just how much I’d stopped even considering Chuck as an actual opinion for Blair.

Dan has become the only possible option for Blair, and Blair the only possible option for Dan. Neither of them deserves to be in a relationship with people who take them for granted and who don’t love them as much as they love them.

Looking back now, for the most part my family has pretty much been on the same page as far as who we liked and didn’t like where Gossip Girl was concerned. We sided with Blair even if we didn’t agree with everything she did. Thought Serena was overrated, Jenny was tolerable until you realized how crazy she was. Vanessa needed to disappear, Nate needed to stop flip flopping. Dan was overly judgmental, Chuck was just Chuck, we couldn’t wait for Eric to grow into the character he became during season four, and a far as we were concerned Lily was pretty much a boss.

We shipped Chuck and Blair in the beginning because we sided with Blair and Chuck was who Blair wanted. You knew they loved each other but it was just a matter of finding the common ground.

Now as far as my mother… sometimes she gets stuck on something and will annoyingly repeat the same stupid mantra’s again and again. Don’t get me started on her twilight bullshit. So I haven’t had time to sit down and talk with her about where she stands on Dair, but I’m afraid she hasn’t given it much thought and still ships the other way.

My sister is easier to understand and usually more readily sees the light. We’ve talked about it once, and we both said that while we remembered and enjoyed the ride of Chuck and Blair in the beginning, and will have fond memories of all the time before he sold her for a hotel, it was clear to see that he wasn’t who was best for her anymore. I still dont know if she’s particularly a full on shipper of Dair but I do believe she ships Blair’s happiness more than being stuck on stupid.

This isn’t the first time we’ve been been a house divided, and I’m sure it wont be the last time. To be honest I think my sister keeps her opinions more to herself than I realized, and I may be wrong with what she thinks about the above but hey, that’s As I See It.
