Also, here's a Dr. Horrible banner I made. :D I think I'll stick to icons for now, I didn't know what to do with myself with the banner. :P



Enjoy the icons! :) Be sure to credit me if you use them. I love sharing these with ya'll. :D

Don't even bother commenting on this blog because...

by tomorrow morning it will disappear. Feel free to vent about the glitches and issues with the blogs in the comments. Keep it clean, though. In other news, I've started the one season of Survivor I missed. Last year school was overwhelming and I got so behind on Survivor I decided not to watch it this year. Quite a few people from Survivor: Gabon are going to be on the 20th season of Survivor(another all-star season). To see the castaway list for Season 20 click here. Please no spoilers about Survivor: Gabon. :P I'm begging you. I'll finish the season soon. Vital IV: 1. Survivor: Best reality show or Worst? 2. What was the last thing you did before coming on the computer? 3. Mac or PC? 4. What's one household "chore" you don't mind doing? (e.g. dishes, vacuuming, cleaning toilet, etc) I hope you had a great weekend and I hope the rest of the week brings you great amounts of joy. :)

It gets hard, but it won't take away my love.

Random title because I'm listening to "Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down on Pandora(I love Pandora - I listen to it all the time. -- LOVE IT!)

Update:


There is basically no update. It's summer and I'm enjoying myself. I'm a homebody so I don't like going out much during the summer. During the school year I never have time to just relax, sit back and watch tv or not wake up 'tli noon. So when I have 3 months to do what I've been wanting to do for the last 8 months I'm going to take advantage of that. However, I did *have* to go out of the house. :P

I went/did:

  • A theme park -- which was *AMAZING*.
  • a Taylor Swift concert(FRICKING AMAZING! I'd go see her again in a heartbeat. She was even 2 sections over, because she came down randomly through the top of the seats. If my seats were 2 sections over I would have gotten a hug from Taylor Swift. Isn't that AMAZING? Lol, even if it didn't happen I act like it does anyway. She was SEXY as hell too. Rain falling down on her in one of her songs. Phew. :lol: ;) )
  • Then I took a trip out of state to visit family for this past 4th of July.

    4th of July:

Well, we went to West Virginia and Virginia to visit family and I was dreading the trip. As I said before, I'm a homebody so removing me from my place is like "f***ing with me". :evil: We went, and it wasn't as bad as I thought. I got to watch tennis while I was there (GO RODDICK!) Wooooooo! He made it to the finals - I was SO proud of him. :D I actually wanted him to go versus Federer because when I first got into tennis it was 2004/2005Wimbledon and it was a Roddick/Federer final and I wanted to see Roddick kick Federer's ass. Which he ALMOST did. :P But I'm proud of Federer anyway. This is turning into a tennis update rather than 4th of July. :lol: While I was in the long car rides I had nothing to do. I brought my iPod but I can't listen to it because the noise of the songs make my ears hurt. :( So I brought my portable DVD player and Season 2 of Supernatural but I couldn't watch that because my sister got pissed because it was loud -- so I had to listen to it with my headphones -- with no luck what so ever because everybody was talking and I couldn't hear. So my sister said she had a book that she was going to read and I could read it if I wanted to. I was like, "Hm, sure I can't do anything else besides sleep so I might as well". The book was "The Tenth Circle" by Jodi Picoult and I'm really enjoying it go far. I'm on page 278, I think and I love it. :P (No spoilers, please. :D)

In Other News:

Before I went on the trip to WV and VA I finshed How I Met Your Mother Season 1-4. Let me tell you. I fricking loved it to no end. I was legendary ... not epic. Legendary. Epic is like a cuss word to me now. Makes me irk. Epic Fail = Puke it's Legendary Fail. :D I saw from S3 and S4 episodes of the series and liked it, but I never thought it was HILARIOUS funny or something. I instantly fell in love with it. When you watch it in order you know the history of the characters you understand it and think it's so much funnier. I think it's in my top 4/top 5 with Veronica Mars, Buffy, Supernatural, and Angel.

I totally denied all you, and I'm so sorry. :P I started watching Smallville instead of any of the shows you guys suggested. Yes Ivy, I will watch Tru Calling! Probably later in the year, because I want to watch it with my mom. Looks like something she'd like. :P With all you people that voted Dexter: it's probably a no go. :( I watched 3 or 4 episodes and I liked it but not enough to keep watching. :( I will watch Pushing Dasies, along with Firefly sometime too... just not sure when. :lol:




Now it's your turn to answer some questions, because I never interact with you guys. :(

1. What's your favorite thing about summer or one thing you dislike about summer? Or both. :P
2. What'd you do for 4th of July? For my International friends: What's one thing that stood out over this past weekend?
3. Are you catching up on any television series over the summer? If so, which ones?
4. Would you like me to do these questions every blog?


Adios, amigos and amigas. :D

Okay, so I promised you some icons for my Anniversary blog so I hope you enjoy them.

Feel free to use them in whatever, I just ask that you save the icon and reupload it to Photobucket or Tinypic and use that link instead of my Photobucket link.

Just give me a few minutes to post them! :) There's more than that 5.




Not one, but two. I think this is where it gets terrible.

Guess what today is?

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME!


Today is my two year anniversary at TV.com. The site has changed a lot since I first became a member, since all these new updates and such but the people here are still the same!

This is what I wanted to accomplish when I reached my two year anniversary:

- Write a review everyday for a year - so this time next year I'll have 409 reviews! :D

- Get to level 33 - at the minimum.

- Enjoy all the friends on here and make sure I don't take this site too seriously.

I currently have:

  • 68 reviews. :lol: You see how well that goal turned out, right?
  • I'm level 25. ROFL. :P
  • However, I did enjoy all my friends on here this year on TV.com. Thank you for commenting on my blogs, PMing me(you should do that more often) and helping me have fun!


I had 3705 posts then , and now I have 4482 posts(including this blog) - for a total of 777 posts in one year. Wow, I posted a lot in my first year. :shock:


Goals for next year:

  • ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

I hope you've had an awesome time chatting with me and I hope to be here many more years! Thanks for being all that you are! I wouldn't change anything about my lovely friends here.


I'll be posting icons here tomorrow or sometime. Daria's blog really inspired me to finally learn how to use my Photoshop Elements 6.0 and now I'm LOVING it! :D

EEK! 1 minute until it's not my anniversary anymore.


I love you guys so much!

Oh at least we know, that if we die - we lived with passion.

Title from Burn This City by Cartel.

Okay, this is a really random game that I JUST thought of when I decided I was going to make a new blog. Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? Do you remember it? Well, almost EVERYBODY knows the theme song -- so put it to the test. I'll post my lyrics I can get from the top of my head compared to the real lyrics:

My try:
In West Philedelhia born in raised, where the Playground where I spent most of days,
sittin' back maxin' relaxin' all cool,
shootin' some B-Ball outisde the school
when a couple of guys they were up to good, started makin' trouble in my neighborhood.
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared,
she said "You're movin' in with your Auntie and Uncle in Bel-Air".
I whisted for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said fresh and there was dice in mirror.
If anything I can say this cab was rare,
but "Yo Home to Bel-Air!".
I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to cab, "Go home, Smell ya later!"
I looked at my kingdom and I was finally there,
to sit at my throne as the prince of Bel-Air."


Real lyrics:
Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab is rare
But I thought 'Now forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air



Okay, let's see... I'm not sure what to talk about. Aha!

True Blood

I finished True Blood earlier this week. I watched all 12 episodes in 3 days, which is a record for me. Last time I watched that many episodes or more in that time frame was when Kylie(I called her Kerry to you guys) forced me to watch Buffy.

Following is True Blood Spoilers so yeah... don't read if you don't watch to. :) You should watch the show, though. It's very good!

(HIGHLIGHT THE TEXT TO SEE IT)



Okay, where to start. I love Sookie, she's adorable. I don't like Bill much - he's a tool. Vampire or not, I find the chemistry between Sookie and Bill(the actors) to be a bare minimum but I like Sookie as an independent woman a lot. Tara has to be one of my favorite characters, she's always so blunt and will tell you straight up. Jason is hilarious too -- I just find everything he does foolish and dumb, but it's entertaining. I knew Sam was a shapeshifter or warewolf or something because something wasn't write about it. It became way too obvious after a while, but still - very sneaky. I love the mystery of it! I think that's the main reason why I want to keep watching and I'm addicted, is because I love finding things out. I don't like proceedruels because they solve the case WAY too soon. I like how each episode ends with a shocker and how it just adds more depth to the mystery and makes the plot thicken. Going back to the Bill/Sookie relationship... it's tolerable, but nothing to "hoo, hoo" about. I thought the Jason/Amy relatonship was better than Bill/Sookie. Blah. -- Anyway, I love it and I can not way for Season 2 to start on Sunday! :D



(END SPOILERS)



What TV series should I start watching?

Alright, so I plan on watching some new shows this summer and I want your ideas. Leave me a comment about what show you want me to watch and answer the poll above(click the link) if you already haven't. Thanks for reading, and I hope you all have a blessed weekend! :)

The Secret Life of Mike Strong -- Original Fanfictin by ME! -- sorta.

Alright, I know I haven't blogged in forever and I've been meaning to. I've been wanting to post this story for a long time so I finally am. This is a Buffy Fanfiction thing, sorta, that I wrote for my English course. The instructor asked to write a daydream, have events, blah, a trigger, blah blah, but have it more focused on the character traits. Well, what other way could I do a daydream without having it be about Buffy -- c'mon you know me. :P Well, here it is. Don't think too much of it... and I could delete the ending that I had to use for the assignment and continue. Trust me, some of you will want me to continue. I hope. :P Enjoy! :)



Being grounded for the first time wasn't as dull as Mike thought it'd be. He couldn't go anywhere, but he was content with the sluggish pit he was trapped in – his room. Mike Strong plopped onto his bed and starred out the window with a sigh of relief. It was raining, but the translucent drops relaxed Mike as he lay back onto his fluffy pillow. His mom never told him not to watch TV, so he zipped in a DVD of Buffy the Vampire Slayer hardly paying attention, but still something to do. The squeaky voice of Buffy vibrated through the room, booming through Mike's ears but not comprehending a thing. Mike sat there in exile with his eyes closed with a respectable smile on his face. The noise of the TV didn't bother him; might have even served as a cover up if his parents came home and asked what he was doing. He opened his eyes a little to see the silhouette of a tree shadowing into his room, as well as the rain drops still gently caressing his window pane. The words of Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer caught Mike's attention as he lay there motionless.

"Sodding demons always trying to kill the vampire," Spike said breathless. Buffy still didn't understand why Spike wore his leather jacket while fighting demons or why he had a cigarette after almost every kill.

"Step over Spike, your just in the way." ordered Buffy as she side-kicked the yellow demon in the knee caps.

"Grrraaaagggghhhhhh!" the unfamiliar demon croaked.
"Something bothering you, Goldilocks?" Spike said with a sinister grin sending one last blow to the demons face before the demon let out one more grunt before whimpering to his death.
"Spike, why are you always around when we're trying to fight?" Buffy contemplated with Xander and Willow behind her
"Slayer, you know you couldn't have killed that demon without my help!" Spike retorted while lighting his cigarette.
Mike fidgeted in his dream-like state before falling fully into it.

… "Mike! Kill them!" yelled Willow while throwing a stake to him.
"Watch where you're throwing things, Red." Mike said, being a vampire after all. Without noticing, the nest of vampires migrated toward Mike. Mike instinctively hit one of vampires in the nose making him flail his arms. The female vampire jumped onto Mike's back as he staked one of the male vampires in the heart seeing him turn to dust. Mike ran toward the wall and ricocheted off with one of his legs and flipped backward landing firmly on his feet behind her. The female vampire wasn't prepared for this, so Mike took his advantage to snap her neck. Again, Mike saw her turn to dust. He was starting to work up a sweat, as this was the toughest vampire nest he's ever raided. He could still see Buffy out of the corner of his eye fending off more vampires by the door. Another well sized vampire came out from underneath the rubble and ran toward Mike just as he was about to light a cigarette.
"Bloody hell!" complained Mike as he put the cigarette up, saving it for later.
The frantic vampire was clearly not going to flea after all his "friends" were killed. Mike sighed as he took the stake and easily jabbed it into the final vampire's heart. Dust fell to the ground as he looked around to see no more vampires left. Willow and Xander were no where to be seen, just Buffy.

Mike stepped toward Buffy and gave her a twisted smile.
"Thanks Mike," Buffy said softly rubbing his right shoulder and trying not to look him in the eye.

"No problem, Pet." Mike said putting his point finger under her chin and shifting her head up. He gently put her cheeks in the palm of his hands and their lips embraced each others'. Mike could feel Buffy starting to relax as he removed his left hand and moved his right hand down to her neck. Buffy surrendered and started to take off Mike's jacket as this passionate kiss continued.

SCREEEEEEEEECH! Mike suddenly came to full consciousness and sat straight up from his laid back position. His heart was beating tremendously fast and he could feel the sweat occupying his forehead. He looked outside his window to see a car tangled around his front tree. This wasn't any car… it was his parents'. Mike ran outside to help his parents, who weren't hurt, into the house to get some rest. Mike couldn't believe that this is what had to awake him from such a wonderful daydream.



"Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

Today was good... and it's Easter weekend! :) Jesus died for your sins so that you could spend forever in Heaven. Remember that. :)

Today is Friday so I'm starting up a new weekly survey I'm doing. It's called the Friday 5.

1. What's something you know how to draw?

- I know how to draw really good faces. I make faces of people and put hair and eyes on them. It's very nifty.

2. Who's someone you could get away with impersonating?

- Myself; I'm horrible at impersonations.

3. Where's the stapler?

- on the desk in the other room.

4. Why will this be a great weekend?

- It's Easter! I get to spend this weekend with my family and watch some awesome TV. :)

5. When are you going to make that phone call you've been putting off?

- I don't have a phone call that I put off.




Also, since all the Dollhouse buzz about FOX not airing the 13 episod I'm on a Twiiter high. I never knew Twitter was so useful until today. I created an account months ago and never really used it. I'm now tracking quite a few celebrites and it's quite cool. :) I dare you to try to find me. :P

Anybody watch Road Rules/Real World: The Duel 2? I watched it from my DVR today and it's just as good as the first one so far. Fights and deciet right from the start. :P CT is a nutjob; adios. I love Paula, Brooke, Evan and Davis. Their my main people to win. I wouldn't mind seeing Robin with either. She's been treated like s*** most times she's been on.

Now, I just got back from getting some McDonald's ice cream. :P :) It's all for you Ivy! I'm going to go watch the last two episodes of Chuck that I missed. They've been in my DVR for a while now and I need my Chuck fix! Dollhouse tonight too, hopefully!

I hope everybody has a great weekend and Easter!

God Bless!

Endings are usually sad, but it's the middle that counts the most.

Current Mood: - nauseated

You know why? Because of the show that's in the above mood theme - Supernatural.

This is the post I made on the Supernatural boards explaining why:

"I just finished S1 of SPN a couple hours ago. I now see the connection and the relationship you hardcore fans have with the show. My heart sank when I read the new Entertainment Weekly article about Supernatural.

Kripke said, and I quote, "Despite what the network and studio may or may not want, I don't have more than five seasons of story. I certainly would be willing to make sure there are enough villains and heroes around to continue a new story line, and I would be around to answer a few questions -- that's it. I'm outta here. There's no way I'm doing season 6."

Dawn Ostroff, when asked about Season 6 said: "If the show's doing well, we would go on, I'm sure," but when asked if they would try to persuade Kripke to stay she replied with, "It's premature for us to even address that."

Anyway... I have a nauseating feeling now. I feel like the show is ending way too soon and going by way too fast. I'm not trying to get all the rest of you down in the gutter but I just wanted to share. I think a lot of the fans are feeling this way, and I know everybody supports everybody here. I thank Kripke and co. for attracting such a diverse population of fans to his show that I can share laughs with. "

Okay now for my explanation more for you blog readers...

I don't get it. I just don't. It's like just suddenly all those words from Kripke and from Jensen and Jared that I didn't type in my post(but will later) are like stabbing me in the heart. I think I got emotionally attached to these characters today that I never thought would happen with Supernatural. I just thought of it as a fun show with demons and whatever, like Buffy. :( I can't explain it, but this is what Jensen said:

"We don't live at home. We don't sleep in our own beds. Our families aren't here. Our friends aren't here. Our girlfriends aren't here. To do it for another five years, or whatever, I don't know if I could handle it." said Jensen, then Jared added: "I enjoy working, but what's the point? Do I want to just keep on doing photoshoots and work so I can get more famous so I can do even more photo shoots and work and fly to more places to do more press?... I get sick of talking about myself."

Okay, go ahead.

Turn the knife, choke me, hang me.

I get where both of them are coming from but I don't want to believe it. I know they have lives and are sacrificing a lot to work. They both only have a 5-yr contract. :cry:

I'm not looking forward to next weeks Supernatural episode. The show will offically Jump The Shark, for real I think. This is what Kripke said about it: "The title of the episode is 'Jump the Shark', because we know that's what we'll be accused of."

Stake me. Drench me Holy Water.


I'm taking another emotional hit while reading these lines of the article for the 3rd time.

With the emotional rant, reachout, breakdown I'll conclude this blog. :(

There are three flowers in a vase. One of those flowers is green.

Hello fellow bloggers, television-lovers, and tv.com-ers. :)

I just wanted to give you another update. It's been about a month since I last blogged. I thought I'd swing by and say hello. The title of my blog is from the latest Dollhouse episode. If you haven't watched the series yet, you really should catch up. Episode 6 has the Joss-y goodness of the whole series. There was a major twist and it makes me want to come back for more. If you haven't heard already, FOX scheduled a phone conference for Dollhouse which means they are interested in another season. I heard this news from Marc Bermon at PIFeedback.com. That's where I get my ratings for my TV shows. It's been on my daily-go-to site for about a year and a half and reading the forums there always entertains me.

Also, in other news for my schooling I turned in my 1-2 page Microsoft Vista paper and I got a100. Phew! I also turned in my Korea Powerpoint and I presented it. I got a 99 - which I'm proud of. Only one other person in the class got a 99, which I think is a little disturbing since he used Wikipedia as a source. Oh well, I'm fine with it. About the 5 page research paper on computers, I'm starting that now. It's due Wednesday, the professor might even extend it 'til next Monday but I want to be safe and at least start. My topic is Microsoft's Zune player; the history and development. I've always wanted to learn more about the Zune, since I own a 2nd-Gen iPod Nano.

Ah, I love Sunday afternoons. I think it might be my favorite day of the week. I get to sleep in to about 10:30, then I go to church, come home to chill. It's awesome. Except if you're like me most weekends where I don't do my homework 'til Sunday. Haha, I mean come on! Do you really think I'm going to do homework while watching Dollhouse? :lol: Too bad this blog isn't my paper because I would have been done with it a long time ago. I might watch some Veronica Mars, or Angel when I'm done doing a page or so.

My computer is being slow and having a delayed backspace button so I'm going to cut it here. :P I hope everybody had a wonderful weekend and has an excellent week!
