Beware the Gush....and Nuclear Chairs

So, I'm going to take a moment to gush. I don't have a clue how many of you actually watch Warehouse 13, but I'm going to write a review anyway, because I watch it, and because at 1:30 last night I finished this season, and it was so epic that I can't even begin to describe how much it moved me. I told you in my last post about TV shows very rarely being able to make me feel sad when somthing petty like a break-up happens. Well, I also laugh off the pain and the sadness in the uber-dramatic episodes. Except not this time. Everything that happened in these final two episodes was so amazing I went to bed completely reeling.

I mean, the episode starts off pretty simply like a normal Warehouse 13 episode. Myka's being orderly and focused, Pete is taking orders but not lacking the comedic relief that his character brings, Claudia's working some of her techie hacking mojo, and Artie's being the boss. You don't really get into the episode until Myka has one of her rare standing-up-to-authority moments, and she completely tells off Pete's mom (aka SuperRegent in control of the Warehouse). They've found the source of a lagging in their computer system, these nano-bugs that send a feed to a computer from a file labled Atlantis 66. When Jane refuses to disclose the conents of the file (she claims that the Regents had a plan in place already), Myka gets angry, but what was really strange was when Pete sided with his mom. He leaves to "do inventory" and Myka follows to what Pete then reveals is his "Pete Cave," basically a garage-turned-male-hangout. Claudia follows too, but it turns out she already knew about the Pete Cave, and apparently she's the one that restocks it with cream soda. (Easily one of the most comedic lines of the episode.) With this exchange in the Pete Cave, as the three plan on going behind their bosses' backs to investigate, the mood of the episode really just seems to flow as buisness-as-usual as possible. But just wait.

Anyway, so Claudia hacks the file as Myka and Pete follow a lead to Wyoming, where they find Emily Lake. Here's where it gets kinda tricky. I'm assuming most of you haven't seen the show. Well, I'm not going to go into too much detail, but H.G. Wells (who's really a girl) was an agent that got seriously corrupted with greif and tried to kill the world. So the Regents seperated her conciousness from her body, enabling her to be of use without being a threat, but it's never revealed where the body actually is. Now we find out that, using the Janus Coin (an artifact), they were able to brainwash her body into beliving it was an American English teacher named Emily Lake who also happened to be a cat lady. So Myka and Pete are trying to talk to Emily, to no avail, when Steve and Marcus show up. Now, Steve and Claudia were partners and best friends before Steve got fired. Now Steve is working for the bad guy. Long story short, Steve and Marcus (who apparently can't be killed) kidnap Emily, and Myka and Pete return back to the Warehouse to get yelled at by Artie and Jane. And then they tell Claudia about Steve. And then Jane tells them about the aforementioned Janus Coin. And then everything happens kind of really really fast.

Claudia, Pete, and Myka go to retrieve the Janus Coin from the Regents' vault (hidden in a supermarket in some random state) and they bring out H.G's essence, so to speak, to tell her what's going on. Then they leave to go back to the Warehouse, but Pete veers of to the middle of the woods and, after a group discussion, with H.G's input, they decide to destroy the coin, even though it would destroy H.G forever. And just as Pete's about to do so, Marcus comes in with Steve and uses an artifact to control Pete and make him knock Myka out instead. Claudia grabs the coin and bolts, with Steve in hot pursuit. They argue, and Claudia says something along the lines of "If you want this coin you'll have to shoot me first." And Claudia is PISSED about Steve being a traitor like that. Cut to two shots ringing out, Steve running towards Marcus with the coin, Pete and Myka running towards Claudia, and a remarkably unscathed Claudia revealing all. Steve is a double agent now, everything he did against them was to infiltrate Walter Sykes' plans. (Walter is the bad guy.) I can't say I'm suprised at that, because it really was staring me right in the face, but I so didn't expect Steve to be a double agent, I'm not sure why.

Anyway, everything seems well and good, and then some really depressing music starts playing. H.G is put back into her own body, and Walter comments to Steve how it was all because of him, H.G coming back and all. Claudia, Pete, and Myka race to the secret airplane hanger location that Steve gave Claudia, but Sykes is gone. As they search the airplane hanger we come to my gushing moment. Pete finds Steve's body. He tries so had to keep his cool and get Claudia to leave, and just hearing her and seeing her find her best friend and the most brotherly figure in her life (her own brother is in Switzerland, so he doesn't count) just sitting in a chair dead....It was the greatest acting I've seen in a long time. It was brilliant. Claudia and Mindy are such different characters, it's kind of unbelievable that they're played by the same actress. She's so talented. Allison Scagliotti, my dear stalkers.



"Sharks are my favorite ocean predator!"



Somehow, Mindy Crenshaw turned into a genius techie rocker chick



And then she finds Steve's body....

  I know it looks like I've finished gushing, but there is a whole other episode of the two-episode finale left. So I'm going to continue my gushing. Well, there's some really intense scenes to do with how they are all taking Steve's death. And my God, if I didn't say it before, Allison Scagliotti has officially moved up to one of my favorite actresses. She has this HUGE confrontational scene with Pete's mom. Imagine yelling at your boss' boss' boss about how its all her fault that someone killed a guy she fired. Granted, the situation was slightly more complicated than just that, but I would NEVER have the guts to do that. And I mean it was intense. Anyway, it turns out that Steve hid an emergency memory chip in a cigarette lighter, and gave the team the last clue to the puzzle on what's next. Pete and Myka fly to Hong-Kong to open the doors to a secret Regent sanctuary. Well, that's what they think it is. So they get there, and Sykes, Tyler (this hacker guy working for Sykes), and H.G are already there. H.G's purpose is revealed as she is told to tell Tyler three moves for him to win at chess. Well, he gets checkmated and his head is sliced open by an ax. H.G has no choice but to force Myka into the chair of doom, because Sykes has that artifact that controls your body. Myka wins on her last try by cheating, a little trick that the guy who invented this security system taught to H.G back in the 1800s. (I know, it's a bit complex.) The portal opens, and it leads back to the Warehouse. Sykes reveals that all he wants is the artifact, taken from him when he was a little boy, that allows his paralyzed legs to walk. Which I thought was a bit dumb, as far a motive goes, but his mind was corrupted by the artifact, so...

Meanwhile back at the ranch (well, B&B), Leena is attacked by Marcus, who sets off a canon to initiate a force feild caused by Jane's bracelet, which holds power and protection over the Warehouse. Jane escapes back through the portal to Hong-Kong in the midst of Skyes' attack, and Skyes dies as the portal is closed when he's only halfway through. Thank you, Pete. Claudia and Mrs. Fredrick save Leena just as Marcus is about to kill her, because Claudia found the artifact-metronome that was keeping him alive, and stops it. Claudia's face during that scene is priceless, especially when she tells Mrs. Fredrick that she's keeping the metronome to bring Steve back to life. (Her boss' boss and her boss' boss' boss all in one day...wow.) Then we discover that Sykes triggered a nuclear-bomb-type artifact that was underneath his wheelchair. Myka, Pete, Artie, and H.G rush to stop it, but all H.G can do is reposition some of the force feild so that Artie, Pete, and Myka are safe. And the bomb goes off in the most spectacular CGI explosion EVER. And then you see Mrs. Fredrick's age catch up with her as she shrivels into decomposed body. Then, once the explosion, restrained by the force feild, is finished, the Warehouse is destroyed. But Artie pulls a pocketwatch-artifact out of his pocket and reveals that maybe it's not quite over. End credits.

Creepiest dead body ever - I miss him already, and he isn't even real.

My brother and I came up with the idea that, if they do use the metronome to bring Steve back, the team is going to send Steve first into some dangerous situation, and when Steve asks why him, Pete's going to say, "because you're the one who can't die!" Steve: "Oh, yeah."

My GOD. And I have to wait until, like, June to find out what happens next.

Well, xoxo, my dear stalkers,

Seddie and Bade.....Don't Ask...

Dear Stalkers,

I haven't posted in a while, but I've been CRAZY busy with school and drama club and homework and watching my tv shows and everything that I really haven't had time. Anyway, I figure I'm going to post about my admiration for children's television shows. The good ones anyway. I've grown up watching shows created and produced by Dan Schneider. He really is a television visionary. All That, The Amanda Show, Drake and Josh, Zoey 101....they were all shows that I watched until they ended, and loved. And they were all so uniquely different, too. I mean, you wouldn't really guess that they were made by the same guy. Now I watch iCarly and Victorious. And I know that's lame, because I'm in high school, and they're shows for like 7-12-year-olds, but I can't help it. They make me happy. And they do have some really comical lines for people my age or older. And they even have romantic storylines. Which is kinda where I'm going with this post.

How many children's television shows do you know that have romantic storylines? There really aren't many, and very rarely are both people main cast members. Usually it's the lead guy/girl chasing after another girl/guy, if that. And there's usually one person who is irritatingly in love with the main character without it going anywhere until maybe the final episode. (i.e. Danny Phantom, Zoey 101 (I know that was in my list of childhood favorites, but the romantic storylines thing is more pertaining to iCarly and Victorious so), Phineas and Ferb, SpongeBob, Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, The Fairly Odd Parents, ect, ect) But on these shows there are legit couples, that are just sort of accepted.

Take Victorious, for example. Beck and Jade are just so obseenly cute. And they have all sorts of moments together in the show that have nothing to do with the episode. They are just a couple and cute and I love how that's put together. He's just her boyfriend. I mean, there are episodes where their being bf/gf has significant weight on the episode, but there are episodes where he'll just have his arm around her in a scene, or they are just randomly making out in the hallway, or he protects her when something bad happens (Locked Up), or he just casually kisses her for no real reason at all, or any number of things. And it's really cute. I mean, kudos to Mr. Schneider for having a couple like that. No serious drama there, just the two of them being the two of them, despite their differences.




My point ^



I love this scene, where Andre is singing.
The entire episode is about Andre, but they have this really cute Beck/Jade moment.
I'm not sure why, but I smile every time I see that scene. 

And take also iCarly, at least most of the episodes of this newest season . Sam and Freddie start dating, and the episodes are sort of them dealing with that. It's not exactly the same as my point about Victorious, but it still fits with my point, because as much as they make a big deal out of it, they really don't. Their relationship doesn't dramatically affect some greater picture, as with most shows. And with most shows, when two characters break up, it's dramatic or irritating, and it makes me laugh at myself. When Sam and Freddie broke up, their breakup was so effortless and anticlimactic that it made me sad, like, actually weird-feeling-in-my-stomch sad. I mean, what little kiddie show does that?




Effortless ^

This is just after they broke up. One last kiss.
I know this picture doesn't begin to show the five minute scene, but it's still a cute pic.

So there in lies my point. (Therin? Therein? I have no idea.) Relationships on TV are never effortless and they rarely make you feel something besides amused at yourself for almost feeling something. And the latter only happens on more "mature" television shows. (Meaning people under 13 should not be watching them.) So why is it that normal relationships happen on these two shows geared toward children who haven't even lost all their teeth much less dated someone? Is it because the creator is happily married? Is it to paint the picture of a normal relationship in the kids' minds early on to minimize drama when they get older? I have no idea, but I'm going to enjoy it before the writers decide otherwise.

Oh, and by the way, when I googled "Victorious beck and jade," this really adorably picture of Ian Harding came up, and I feel like it needs to be added. So here, dear stalkers, a gift for the road.

Until next time, xoxo,

~M~

Bubble, Bubble, Toil and Trouble

Hey stalkers! I miss writing to you. It's oddly cathardic. Today I want to talk about witches. I don't know why, but ever since I was little I'd had this obseen fascination with them. Well, actually, when I was little they terrified the crap out of me. Then my mom started watching Charmed at the dinner table. As I'm sure you can tell, seven or so years later I began to watch Charmed, from the beginning, on my laptop. I finished the series only three weeks ago. I miss it. I miss the characters and the stories and the demons....and sure I can watch it again, but it's just not the same as discovering it for the first time. Anyway, that's only one of the points I was planning on hitting in this post, so I have to move on from my beloved Halliwells.

I was thinking to myself at the beginning of last year that there were no good shows about witches. Now, this fall, The Secret Circle is coming to the CW. I have no idea if it's going to be good or not, but I'm watching it anyway. I've always figured that when I become an actress, I'll play a witch at least once. As it is I've been Gritch the Witch in Piggy Pie in third grade, Elphaba from Wicked for the talent show in fourth grade, the Wicked Witch of the West in fifth grade, and I went through that whole Wicked-obsessed phase that's apparently common (I've met two other people who went though the same phase) in sixth grade. Elementary school aside, I have not played a witch, no, but I really hope to, someday. (Now I really just have to focus on my divorce, remarriage, and pregnancy in this year's fall play, Steel Magnolias.)

I'd like to meet a witch. I don't really mean like the waving wands kind, because those aren't real, but I'd like to meet a Wiccan. It's a real religion. (To be fair, so is Jedi, it's very popular in Australia.) I'm dead serious. I'd like to be friends with one. I think it'd be cool to talk to them about it. I'm a Christian, have been all my life, so this isn't some creepy anti-God thing, I just wanted to put that out there.

I got on this topic in my head because I opened a book that I thought would be about witches. I was going to read it, obviously, until I discovered that it had nothing to do with witches at all. Which means that I'm stuck waiting for "that next book in that series that I like" to come out. I wish I were a brilliant writer, so that I could write my own fantastical story about witches, and live in it. (I'm pretty much just stuck waiting to register for Pottermore - talk about desperate.)

Anyway, I know this whole post was poorly written, with no transitional sentences, filled with run-ons and overused parenthesis, and so many other grammatical errors, but I just wanted to voice my opinions. Here are three pictures: one of Charmed, one of The Secret Circle, and one of Wiccan symbols, a triple moon. After researching a little bit, I discovered that it symbolized all three parts of female power becoming one. As a feminist, I think that's really cool. Plus it's also really pretty, don't you think?




I'm pretty sure that this is the big, final battle in the penultimate episode of Charmed



The Secret Circle



The Triple Moon

So I know this post was a little weird, but I had fun writing it. Until next time, my dearest stalkers!

Lots of Love,
~M~

P.S. While I remember to mention it, this new show called The Ringer is totally ripping off The Lying Game, even more the novels than the TV show.

Pretty Little Letdown

Hey, stalkers! Welcome back to my blog. I guess I can confirm that I will not be doing that series that I talked about, because, frankly, I don't have time, and I've lost interest. I'm a teenager, I can do that. However, I am going to tell you about one of my all time favorite shows, Pretty Little Liars. Now, this show is really notorious for having insane finales. Last summer, the midseason finale ended with Hanna getting hit by a car. Last season ended with Ian getting pushed off of a bell tower and falling to his death after trying to murder Spencer, only to have his body disappear when the police arrive. This season wasn't intense. It wasn't scary. It was suspenseful at best, but the writers just had to make A ruin their lives. And then they got arrested for Ali's murder, because A planted the murder weapon on them. And then I'm pretty sure you discover that Garrett and Jenna killed Ali, and made sure that the only witness, Jason, had a total blackout, drugs or something, and never remembered.

Spencer had to break up with her boyfriend, Toby, the first guy who she really clicked with without complications. (By complications, I mean this was the first guy she didn't steal from her older sister.) And Toby loved her too. And then you had to throw in Wren (Spencer's almost brother-in-law, who Melissa dumped after catching him and Spencer making out). Seriously, what is his deal? He kisses her less than ten minutes after she dumps the love of her life, simply on impulse? What kind of person does that, if his intentions are really pure? He seems to really care for her, and then he just plants one on her when she's hurting? That's like kicking an unarmed man when he's down - you just don't do it. The only good scene in the entire episode was when Toby came to the police station to see Spencer. As the cops dragged him away he was screaming "I love you, Spencer! I love you! Spencer! Spencer!" I usually don't crush on actors who can't sing, but he might have to join Mr. DiCaprio as an exeption.

And Hanna had to break up her father's wedding. In front of everyone. She had to tell Isabelle that her dad and mom slept together one night when they were both tipsy. And then ruin her dad's life after their relationship finally worked itself out.

And Aria had to blackmail Jackie, her boyfriend's ex-fiance. Which totally turned around, because Jackie ends up blackmailing her instead, because - oh yeah, you forgot that your relationship with your English teacher is ILLEGAL. I don't care how much you love each other, you don't blackmail the one person who will call the cops without hesitation. I really loved Ezra and Ella's conversation, though. She confronted him about his relationship with Spencer, Ezra confessed his love for Ella's daughter, and they both had no friggin clue they were talking about two different girls. It amused me.

Emily had the weirdest storyline of all. A didn't give her a job to do. She and Myah agreed to just be friends, and then she got trapped in a barn and nearly died of methane intake from a running car. She had a vision of Ali before her friends found her.

And on top of all that Dr. Sullivan was let go at the end of the episode. A never buried her alive. Which is why the cops found the girls with the murder weapon, digging up a giant doll.

I have to say though, the back and forth storyline between the present and the past leading up to the present was interesting. It was kind of neat. Like you were given the beginning and the end and you were working your way to the middle. But aside from the presentation of the storyline, the story itself went in all kinds of crazy directions and misdirections and it wasn't nearly as enjoyable as I thought. It would have worked so much better as a season premire. So much better.

I think I'm gonna attach a video to this post instead of pictures, that way you can see the only two enjoyable scenes in the episode, plus when Spencer and Toby broke up, because the acting in that scene is insane.

So, watch these if you feel like it, and join me again next time at HOMPLOP, dearest stalkers!

Lots of Love,
~M~

Dream Guys - Glee and The Glee Project

We interrupt the scheduled evaluation to completely change it. I've decided that, for my "evaluation" of Glee, or who I was planning to evaluate, Santana, I'm going to do something a little bit different. So, dear stalkers, if you are reading this, be prepared to hear me gush and gush for about four or five paragraphs about my favorite actors, instead. Darren Criss, as I have said before, is one of my biggest celebrity crushes. He plays Blaine Anderson on Glee. Well, there is a new unobtainable man in my life, who will also be on Glee in the fall. His name is Damian McGinty. If you have not seen him on The Glee Project, here's what you need to know. He is Irish, he is an amazing singer, and he is absolutely gorgeous.

So why am I telling you this? I mean, why would you care? Honestly, I'm not really taking your interest into consideration. I want to gush, and that is exactly what I am going to do.

You see, at the beginning of this year, before Darren Criss was Darren Criss (back when he was simply "Harry Fricken Potter"), before Damian McGinty graced US television with his presence, I decided that I was going to decide exactly which qualities I was looking for in a dream guy. I knew right away that he needed to be funny and smart and be able to carry on a conversation with me, and other romantic stuff that people always say, and then I decided to get more specific. I decided that he needed to sing, play either drums or guitar, have an Irish accent, and have blue eyes So, much to my suprise, here are two guys who, when combined, they create my dream guy. They are both funny and nice (or at least from what I can gather on interviews and such), they both can sing, Darren can play guitar and drums.....and piano, Damian is Irish and has blue eyes. And so now I am in love with them both. And I assure you, they are both straight in real life. And when I say they can sing, I mean they can sing. My God. It's like nothing else. They have incredible voices. I am such a sucker for guys who can sing well. Ugh, make me like 19 so it's totally plausible for me to date them if i ever meet them!!!!

My mom thinks I'm crazy. My dad thinks Mr. Criss is actually gay. My sister and brother want me to shut up. But I mean seriously, look at them:

The second Damian pic was for emphasis.

DISCLAIMER: I am in love with these actors, yes, but I do understand that it is completely implausible (<-is that a word?) and I am not, under any circumstances, as completely rabid and obsessed a fan as those girls in the Glee 3D Concert movie that I saw today. There is a line between gawking/gushing and obsessing to the point of madness. I do not intend to cross it.

Until next time, feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments, and stare that the pictures for as long as you'd like.

Lots of Love,

Dollhouse's Adelle DeWitt - Evaluated

Sad news today. None of you commented! Well, I'm pretty sure this is barely a blog that people look at, but I've gotten 190 views. Seriously, at least one of you should have commented. I am disapointed in my stalkers.


Anyway, that's totally not the reason that I'm posting. Thanks to nobody bothering to comment on this little contest-y thing that I had going, I had to resort to choosing my first victim without the input of others.So the first character I'm going to evaluate is Adelle DeWitt, from the TV show Dollhouse. Beware, there are SPOILERS (which I have marked, kina).

If you recognise this woman from "somewhere," you might be thinking of the Oscar-nominated (winning?) movie, An Education. Her name is Olivia Williams.

Now, I am going to assume that none of you have seen this show, since it was cancelled after only two years due to poor ratings. (Any show that's called Dollhouse isn't going to attract a lot of viewers, in my opinion, simply because anyone who hears the name immediatley thinks of the child's toy.) In this show, there are people, beyond all hope, who promise to lend their bodies to the Dollhouse for three years, with the promise of their troubles being eradicated for them. Adelle runs the Dollhouse, or at least the branch in LA. There are Dollhouses all over the world at this point. These Dollhouses get clients who pay a lot of money to have different "dolls" to play with. The minds of these people are wiped completely blank, although their original personalities are stored for safe keeping until the three years are up. When a client requests a doll, he or she has his or her brain scientifically reprogrammed to meet the clients demands, whether they want a detective to solve a kidnapping, a wife to be a husband to, or even a backup singer with the insane urge to act as a bodyguard for a famous singer, the client will get this. Basically, it's brainwashing. And no, it's not legal. At all.

Now, you'd assume that anyone who runs a brainwashing company must be pure evil, right? Well, you're wrong. She's not evil, and, towards the end of the series, she proves it in spades. She honestly believed that the Dollhouses were helping people. She cared deeply about the wellbeing of the dolls. And she also really cared for Topher Brink, the programmer. Their relationship is shown more in the season finales, when it's ten years into the future, Topher has gone completely insane, and Adelle is the only one who can communicate with him. It seems really sort of mother-son-ish at some points, and more relationshippy at others, but which one is which and should they be together and all that isn't really my point. Because, (*SPOILER ALERT*) he sacrifices his life for the good of humanity in the very last moments of the series. My point that I'm going to make today is NOT that she and Topher had a connection before the Epitaph episodes, as I had originally planned, as you can probably tell from the majority of this paragraph. My point is that she knew exactly what she was doing. Which seems like a dumb point, unless you actually watched the series. Because 90 percent of the time I was sitting in my bedroom thinking "Is she insane?!" or "How could she be so cruel?" So come, ride my train of thought. Be unusually confused until we come to an end.

In the first season you see DeWitt taking orders from those above her (and no, I'm not talking about God. If she took orders from God she'd be a nun or a teacher, not running what essentially is a prostitution ring.) You never really see any character development in her, except for the reveal that she is a very lonely person, so much so that she orders one of the dolls, Victor, to be her lover on various occasions. This costs thousands of dollars, so either she's really desperate or she has a really nice paycheck. Based on the series, I'd say both. My biggest point that she knows exactly what she's doing is in the episodes where she makes the concious decision to send Echo to "The Attic," which is supposed to ultimatley comatose (comatize?) the dolls forever. She makes this huge speech in the episode where she makes the decision. You ultimatley think that she is evil and crazy for siding with her boss over humanity and what is right. Then, at the end of the next episode, you hear that same speech again, only this time she bends down and whispers extra information in Echo's ear. I like the director's decision on that, to mislead you and give you a nice suprise. Because you ultimatley feel sorry for this lost and lonely soul. But she comes up with the plan to discover the ultimate head of the dollhouse, and because of that consious decision, in the penultimate episode (*SPOILER ALERT - AGAIN*) they take him down.

I'm not sure if that really proved anything, or if it was just me gushing about the fact that I love the way the directors and writers chose to mislead you like that, but that was the first of my evaluations, since not one of you 190 stalkers bothered to comment! (hurt look) Anyhow, feel free to comment now.  Because it would kind of make my day.

I'll blog again soon!
Lot's of Love,

Explaining the Title of this Blog

So, I checked my stats again. One hundred and one people have seen this blog. Holy cow. You creepy stalkers just got way more cool. Although, now that I come to think of it, a lot of those pageviews were probably my own. Does that mean I'm stalking myself? I have no idea.Anyway, the main point of this post today was to point out something about the title of this blog. It's called Hanging on a Moment, Living on a Prayer. I would just like to say that I am perfectly aware that they are two songs, one by Lifehouse and the other by Bon Jovi. Unfortunatley, I messed up with the first song. It's actually called "Hanging BY a Moment." But, even though I recognize it, I will not change it. Because I call my blog HOMLOP, and HBMLOP just isn't as much fun to say. Now, once again, there is some more explaining to do. I made "on a" into one letter in my acronym on purpose. That purpose is a)it's shorter, and b)HOAMLOAP sounds kind or wrong, don't you think?

I haven't gotten any comments on which show I should evaluate first. So sound off in the comments area! Let my know what you think! It'll make me feel good. Like it wasn't an accident that you stumbled upon this page.

And now for a random picture, because I am in love with this man and he deserves some recognition. (In case you were wondering, in addition to Mr. DiCaprio, Avan Jogia and Darren Criss are also on the list of men I'm in love with.)

So, until next time, my dear stalkers!'

Lots of Love,

Dear Stalkers....

Dear Creepy Internet Stalker,

So, I suppose I'm obligated to write in this thing. Maybe I'm not. I really don't care. I just need something to do. In case you, my dear creepy stalker, are wondering what is going on with my life, I shall tell you. Absolutely nothing. It turns out that the seventh season of Charmed is really boring, so I'm stuck at like episode five. I wake up every morning with nothing to look foward to than living vicariously through TV shows. Victorious, iCarly, Pretty Little Liars, Dollhouse, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, Bones, Glee, The Nine Lives of Chloe King, Switched at Birth, and a new aquisition, Warehouse 13. Why am I telling you this? Because I have nothing better to do with my life, I have seen every episode of these shows, I am going to eventually be an actress, and would like to evaluate my favorite characters to the best of my ability and then ask your opinion. And better yet (*pause for dramatic effect and ensuing collective groan*)these evaluations are going to come in a series of different posts. Don't worry if you don't actually watch any of these shows, because in my evaluations I'm probably going to end up describing everything that happens to these characters, so you don't really need to know anything about them.

So why did I write this in letter form? Because you, my dear stalker, are going to choose which show I evaluate from first. I checked my stats today, and it turns out that 27 different people have seen this blog since I first started it. And not a one has ever commented. So I'm forcing you to comment. Well, not really. But it would be nice to know that someone cares. Even if no one comments to say which show they'd like to see evaluated first, I'm going to do this series anyway, just to spite the one person out there who reads this.
And now, because I was bored, here are pictures of every single show that I listed above.

 

Victorious 

iCarly

Pretty Little Liars

Dollhouse

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Charmed

Bones

Glee

The Nine Lives of Chloe King

Switched at Birth

Warehouse 13

And so that is what will be happening here at HOMLOP for the next week(s) or so. Remember to leave your ideas as to which show's character I should evaluate first (or next, depending on when you read this) in the comments! Because I would really like to hear some comments....

Lots of love to you, dear stalkers!

Love,

Hello Again

Hey All! Well, goodness knows probably only about one creepy stalker a year will ever read this blog, so the "all" is more irrelevant than anything else I will probably ever post. Anyway, if you are actively reading this, which would be kind of weird, I haven't posted in a while for a list of reasons. 1) I really don't like letting the world know my buisness, even if it is under the nome de plume of ~M~. 2) I kind of thought that I had deleted this blog long ago. 3) I've been watching episode after episode of Charmed, and I don't really have time for anything else. (But hey, I'm into the first few episodes of the penultimate season! ;) )

In every television family, you seem to see that the "bad girl" daughter or "bad boy" son always seems to be the coolest and most loved. Sometimes you just have to learn the truth the hard way. That bad daughter is me. And it's not like I'm smoking or joining a gang or anything......do they even HAVE gangs in [town name edited out for privacy]?  But I am the one who talks back and never helps around the house unless told to do so, and I never clean my room, and I am so sorry if I take putting the dishes in the dishwasher litterally instead of "put the dishes in the dishwasher, then hand wash the non-dishwasher-safe pots and pans, then dry them, then put them away, and then wash off the table and counter." But such is life as the bad girl in the family.

Okay, so by now you can probably see that I'm not exactly a bad girl, just a super irritating teenager. But today I bought some colorful hair extension clips in hot pink, light blue, and dark blue, just to seem rebellious. Needless to say, the second of the two pink clips broke the second I tried to put it in my hair, and then broke even more when I tried to fix it. Rebelling just isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I got into a fight with my mom today. It was about how it wasn't my turn to walk the dog. Now I'm grounded, meaning that if anyone except my grandma invites me to hang out, I can't go. But then again I have about six friends in real life, and the only ones who seem to want to contact me on a regular basis are the ones who live in Texas and Minnesota, so I don't think I'll be invited out of my East Coast home any time soon.

Which brings me to this page, where I discovered that it still existed and decided I'd post on it.

So, yeah, that's pretty much it.

First Post

Hey! So, I never really planned on starting a blog. I was never going to be one of THOSE people, you know? Of course, I was never going to be one of those wannabe-popular kids, and then seventh grade happened....at any rate, that was a few years ago, and I'm in high school, and I'm a different person. I'm not exactly the most optimistic person in the world, so I figure, if I go through a bad day, I can vent to the world without anyone ever really knowing who I am or actually reading what I have to say. Keeping a diary and writing bits and peices of angsty poetry for myself just isn't going to cut it. So here's some key information for your journey with me through this blog.

My Life in a nutshell: I'm an unpopular high school student, theatre geek, unathletic softball player, wannabe dancer, Gleek, and various other things. Most importantly, I'm a loser. Listen to Corner of the Sky from Pippin. It's on YouTube. I checked. At any rate, that song totally and completely describes my life. Various facts about me - I am a triplet, I wantch Buffy the Vampire Slayer reruns, I hate listening to teenage actresses sing on YouTube (when they're actually good) because it reminds me about how much I completely wish I was them and I'm not, I'm in love with various older men - all of whom are celebrities, ect, insert loser-esque information here.

Now onto the actual post. Here is a little angsty poem to get you guys started:

I'm treading water
Alone
In a sea of familiar strangers
Do they really know me?
Do they really think they know me?
Do they even care?
Words aren't directed at me
Conversations happen
Secrets are revealed
But I'm invisible
The only reason I'm still included
Is because they never noticed me in the first place
Drowning now
Trying to swim to the surface
Does anyone notice me?
Will anyone pull me out?
No one takes the time to care
I'm alone
Surrounded by familiars
People I've known for a while
I've learned their secrets
I've been a part of their lives
But they've never even cared
I sink
Falling to be bottom
In my sea of familiar strangers
People who know who I am
Who talk to me
People who don't really know me
And will never even bother to take the chance
