Wow. Your entries should come with a warning *has dial-up* but it was worth the funnies! LOL Xena, FTW!
And haven't seen Merlin (no have BBC, yo), but it sounds like your argument is solid *nod nod* power to the people!
Ah, Roswell, how I loved you, until you pissed me off with all your angsty fuckery. And don't think I'll forget the day mom nearly threw me with the clothing iron because of you!
Um, to clarify, it was the episode where Max supposedly died (I think there was a window involved... it was so long ago, I can't remember). I remember running to my mom's room, crashing against the door as I cried (with actual tears DOWN MY CHEEKS), and saying, "MOM! MAX DIED!" My mom, thinking that Max was actually a person, replied in genuine concern, "Max? Who's Max? What happened?" To which I countered, "Max! From Roswell!" And it took her two seconds to realize what I was talking about, it took me about one to register the look on her face (she was ironing, hand on the clothing iron, so yeah, she had a weapon) and then half of a second to run like a bitch to the bathroom.
LOL
Mom started threatening to kick my ass, but she didn't do it.
LOL
Man, I loved that show, but it really got me... emotionally compromised LOL

Firstly, me sowwy. I...I start capping and I can't stop. And then I am seized with the compulsion to SHARE WITH THE WORLD, bandwidth be damned. You can assume that any picspams I do are going to be massive. [So massive they typically take two posts due to LJ's irritating 'post too large' thing, gah]
Secondly, mwahaha! I hadn't realized how much love people still had for Xena! Such an old show and yet there's still a place for her in discussions today.
Do you d/l? I go to my public library to d/l episodes of shows like MerlinMentalist and CM because they're just too awesome. *cough* Not to give you the wrong impression that I'm a compulsive fandom enabler or anything. *cough*
Ah, Roswell, how I loved you, until you pissed me off with all your angsty fuckery.
Another old show I didn't realize my flisters loved!
[And omg, I was just checking your profile and then realized I hadn't friended you back- fail! I was all, 'Gee, she has so many new entries, how come they didn't show up on my friends page- OH, GOOD GOING, NICELY DONE']
*snorts* I only have the first season but I keep hearing people tell me the second is made of fail, so I'm not too anxious to speed ahead. Angsty crap bugs the hell out of me.
Although your anecdote makes it somewhat worthwhile- I can't help giggling at the idea of your mom being faced with a hysterical daughter, weeping over someone's death- and then finding out it's "JUST A TV CHARACTER". [Whatever, people, it hurts just as much, okay? I spent days crying over Roslin, tell mybroken heart I'm not really grieving]
Hey, studies have shown a tendency for little kids to value tv characters more than their own parents and consider them role models of greater worth than people in RL. *nodnod* Parents would be wise not to dismiss them so cavalierly.
I loved that show, but it really got me... emotionally compromised LOL
So say we all. Can't love a show without giving it that power over you.
Though hopefully not the kind of power that's gonna lead to you snapping and throttling the life out of someone [unless it's one of TPTB and they really deserve it 'coz I can think of more than a few that need a severe case of throttling]...

Ah, don't worry about it. Cap away. I have the stop button, and a good imagination, so I can just read and imagine the images with ease. No problems with me!
Download? With dial-up? Heh. Let's not go there... I'm still grieving because I can't download the Star Trek book as read by Zachary Quinto. Each disc would take about 9 hours, and I bet you my right breast, it would automatically disconnect (the dial-up) after six. That's how long it can usually struggle a download, no more.
Well, Roswell didn't get bad... just... severe with the angst. Seriously, I get that you have to throw your characters into situations that have us fans at the edge of our seat, crying and throwing things at the T.V., but things that seriously damage what's LEFT of our sanity and make us get HOSTILE are WAY out of line (see the second season of Dark Angel, for a perfect example of that one).

Good times. I was always the perfect little angel and manipulated them shamelessly, heh. I liked flaunting my power by getting away with things other kids couldn't. And they always took my side, no matter what was going on, it was so unfair to the others, it was hysterical. >:D I'd be talking about Stargate in class and my companion would get told off for distracting me. *g*
Ohhh, that's terrible. *huggles* Were you looking at the one on amazon.com? Do you have friends/family with a credit card that can get the thing shipped to you instead of d/l it?
Yeah, six hours sounds about right. *snorts* I used to try at Ma's place but at 8 kb/s...that automatic disconnect had me whimpering in dismay til I finally gave up trying.
Two months later, I STILL haven't made it to the second disc of the first season so I'm all with the happy, honeymoon period of non-hostility-inducing episodes right now. I'm bracing myself for the future explosions of violence and ranting I'm sure to go through, though.

I have a credit card. I'm thinking about buying it, but would rather wait till my mom leaves to Florida, so when I get it, she isn't here. *sighs* It is my money, but considering the financial state we're in, I want to avoid 'the look'. Now what has me most confused is, does the audiobook come with the actual textbook? 'Cause I'd like the text book of it, too!
Yikes! See, there's so many shows I have on my to-watch listen, when I have time and/or money to rent *nod nod* Queer as Folk has been at the top of the list for me... Heroes S2-S3 (which I never got to see). And a bunch more I've probably forgotten *falls* What channel do they give TLW? Do you know?

The one teacher that didn't believe me when I claimed to be innocent of any wrong-doing...my mother. *facepalm* She taught me for one semester when our usual English teacher went on long-service leave. THAT was fun, being that she announced to the whole class, 'Guess who your new teacher is? Annie's mother! Isn't that exciting?!' Gee, thanks. *glares*
I wish I had a credit card- but I'd be in debt so badly, it's probably a good thing I don't have that temptation. If I can't buy something with paypal, that's end of line for me.
Ooh, yeah, I know 'the look' that judges you about the frivolous expenditure of money on non-essentials when it should be going towards necessities. Pfft.
I don't knooowww. The book is listed separately at about $10, and the audio thingy is $20. I don't normally get audiobooks so I wouldn't know for sure, but would there be that big a disparity in the price? I'm tempted to assume it would come with the book but the product details only mention the cd...sorry, I'm no help there.
I've got quite a few shows on my list as well- Sanctuary, TSCC, Middleman, Primeval, Being Human... and more, I expect. I'll probably add Heroes and Lost as well.
Channel? TLW? O.o
Umm...it was on ages ago- in fact, it's celebrating its tenth anniversary this year- so I wouldn't have a clue, unfortunately.

LOL Well, the funny thing is, I only got a credit card to build credit to get a cellphone. Ask me if I have a cellphone -_- I don't. No money. Anyway, I've been trying to pay it down to $0 (limit is $300, it's around $170, a fact I blame my mother for, because once she made me use it to buy groceries, and the groceries were way above $120. If it hadn't been for that, it'd be around $50) and hence why I got a debit card (as soon as I hit 21) where I can put in what I mean to use, instead of relying on a credit card. As soon as I can lower the CC down to $0, I think I'll terminate it. I'm more comfortable with debit than credit, believe you me.
*nod nod* The thing is, I'm currently in a financial problematic situation with my spermdonor of a father who, even though I took him to court recently and the court stated he has to pay me till I'm 25 ($125 measly a month) and studying, has stopped paying all together. And I won't call him, refuse to, ever since he pushed me and my stepmother practically made me breakdown over the phone... One thing you'll soon learn about me, I don't like it when people make me emotional and try to tamper with my mental health. Situations like those happen, and I just cut off from them entirely.
:-( Thanks for checking... probably not the same thing, but we'll see!
Oh, TSCC! ;.; Stupid FOX canceled it, and it ended on an UBER amazing NOTE! I WANT ANOTHER SEASON! Hmm, Heroes is good... I love the first season, but after that, they've lost my admiration. The only thing that keeps me watching it is Sylar, oh, and Noah. They're my Heroes *.*
*head desk* Leave it to me to discover the existence of a show when it's already GONE OFF THE AIR!

There are quite a few moments I'd love to go back in time and slap myself over, be like, 'Stop being an attention whore, just simmer down already!' I threw a chair at a classmate this one time and then burst out crying and ran out of the room [god, can you say 'hormones'?]...and he got told to apologize to me! I feel awful remembering that, like, yeah, he was being an idiot but I ATTACKED THIS DUDE and he has to say sorry to me, wtf?
But yeah, grew out of that stage, thank god, got myself some maturity, lol.
Dude, you don't have a cellphone? Whoa. I'm glad I have mine but sometimes it's more trouble than it's worth. I mainly use it for memo alerts. *nodnod* I have a gajillion of them going off everyday [mainly reminders to look something up on the internet or post about a certain topic or whatever, heh]. Plus the internet, but that's one of things that brings a whole lot of trouble down on my head. *sighs* Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh, oh...
Have you ever heard the children's rhyme, 'There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza...'? That's what the credit card-cell phone situation reminds me of, lol.
You know, I'm pretty spoilt. I mean, I don't always get on with my parents but I hear stories from other kids my age about their parents hitting them up for money to pay for bills and groceries, and I never have to worry about that. The rare occasion mother might ask for a $10 or $20, she'll give it back with interest later on.
Debit's definitely better than credit. I don't trust myself with a credit card, and it's irritating because the bank keeps sending me letters asking me to get one and it's like, 'WTF? Are you insane? Are you trying to get me to ruin my life? NO THANKS.'
down to $0, I think I'll terminate it. I'm more comfortable with debit than credit, believe you me.
Goddamn. If he keeps refusing to pay, can't he get thrown in prison or something? That should be a law. *nodnod* Send a message to deadbeat dads to discourage them from playing nasty games and making life worse for their offspring. He is so in need of massive karmic payback.
ARGH! I know it's gonna make me angry and pissy and go into RAGE MODE, but I do want to see TSCC. I pretty much only watch it for Cameron- and Sarah, because apart from a regrettable sentimental attachment to her ungrateful frakwit of a son, she's pretty awesome- everyone else just annoys me, lol.
NOAH! I love him. He's like Ben from Lost, I started off disliking them as the bad guys and then just found it so amazing how they always had a plan, no matter how bad the situation seemed, they were always playing everyone else, knew exactly which buttons to push and how to manipulate them... So inspirational. *sighs* [It helps that I hate everyone on Lost so I was totally cheering Ben on, I wanted him to screw them over, heh]
*head desk* Leave it to me to discover the existence of a show when it's already GONE OFF THE AIR!
*facepalm* I'm so used to the reality that the show's long over that I totally didn't realize you wouldn't be aware of that! Fail... It's kind of a habit of mine, I always get into a fandom just when the show gets canceled or IS canceled...nine years later is my record, though.

Nope. No cellphone. No money, and I'm the kind of person that refuses to get in debt with ANYTHING unless I KNOW I can pay it off. The only reason I got the CC was because I knew I could take at least $20 (which is the minimum payment for the CC, once a month) for the payment of it from the sperm donor's child support check *le sigh* So much for that.
O.o Nope, never heard of the rhyme >.>
Well, I have to wait for the payment to be late for an entire month or two, or else, they'll just tell me to wait. The law is WONDERFULLY COMPETENT here!
Mom says his payback will be that I'll probably be the last thing he wants to see when he's dying, and that I won't go. The sad thing is, she's right, because I've already planned it in my head, as cruel as it may sound, that if they even call me telling me he's sick/dying, I'll just say, "About fucking time." And hang up *sighs*
Oh, Cameron and Sarah are the bomb. John is emo. There's a blonde you SHOULD/WILL/MIGHT hate and an Asian looking chick I wanted to strangle. But damn it, the show was good! DAMN YOU, FOX!
XD I've never seen Lost, but I'm accepting that as a compliment for Noah. I just love the things he'll do for that little bitch *not-a-Claire-fan-clearly* even though she can HEAL, he doesn't care, he'll protect her from everything and anything. He's also one badass son of a gun.
Hmmm, I think the only show I got hooked on, and didn't even KNOW it had already been canceled, was Firefly. Dark Angel and Dead Like Me too, but I didn't get hooked on those, just entertained. Oh, and Joan of Arcadia. I got so pissed when I found out that was canceled. Other than that... can't remember...
