6x01 and 6x02 - A Reaction (Very Long)
Now that the opening two-parter of Series 6 has ended, I believe I'm now ready to compose some, mostly useful, but most likely brain-fried, thoughts and comments on the two episodes.

Ahhh I see. I forget oftentimes that I'm a half day ahead at least of half the world :P
Haha love. Fair enough too, I don't know what I used to do without comment editing-ness!
EVERYONE is an English Major. It's a conspiracy! Although technically mines a double Major in English/Creative Writing and Theatre/Drama so...
Oh god. If you've managed to escape it STAY AWAY. The time I spent reading those books are hours I'LL NEVER GET BACK AGAIN. I kind of equate reading them to watching a car accident - it's AWFUL. It's terrible and horrible BUT YOU JUST CAN'T LOOK AWAY. YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEEEEEXT. It's also kind of like reading quite terrible Mary Sue fanfiction with every trope in the book magnified by ten thousand as well though which makes it even more horrifying.
The only good thing, I feel, about this book series, its only truly redeeming feature (which is sad) is that because I've read it I can complain about it to other people :P especially all the batshit insane fangirls who think it's the ducks guts. I have honestly had a conversation with a 15yo girl with a Twilight shirt which basically went like this:
Me: Oh god, Twilight? Really?
Her: OMG I LOVE TWILIGHT SO MUCH *DIES AND HAS FANGIRLGASM WITH SPARKLY HEARTS*
Me: Maaan. Hating on Twilight so bad right now...
Her: Nooooo how can you say thaaaat? You can't say that it's bad!
Me: I've read the books. Have you?
Her: ...no.
Me: EXACTLY. QUIET NAO PLZTHX.
That said she probably would've loved the books. Ahafjjglkfab. WHY.
/ end unexpected Twilight rant

OMG, that is the funniest thing I've heard all bloody day! (So it's only 1130 where I am, it still counts!). ROFLMAO at "*DIES AND HAS FANGIRLGASM WITH SPARKLY HEARTS*" SPARKLY HEARTS! LOL!
*dies of laughter*
Anyway....yeah...English major conspiracy. Well, at least I read my Greek and Roman mythology! Ha! And I will predict your every thought with my awesome psychology powers! ....I know, very unimpressive. lol.
!!! Avenue Q love?! It's so hard to find these days...best thing ever. I listen to the soundtrack on my worst days so I can remind myself that it isn't that bad really...
Hmm, I think I have an icon for this too.

I've always adored Greek mythology. Roman I'm not quite so savvy on but I can usually correct the boy when he uses the wrong name for a god or goddess :P
My cousin has just started Psych! There you go.
It's terribly irreverent and a bit inappropriate for most places that I frequent but I do think that it's spectacularly clever and very, very funny.

Have I ever told you that I love you? lol. Greek mythology is so twisted, fucked up, and absolutely mental that it takes a different type of mind to appreciate it. I mean, Aphrodite being born out of Zeus' sperm? Or the whole Orestia? And I'll admit that the names can be confusing but, on a whole, I stick with the Greek ones. Athena sounds so much better than Minerva, or Ares and Mars, Zeus and Jupiter...list goes on and on.
Psych, English, and Political Science: the three most useless and overused undergrad degrees. Still, if you go past the bachelor level you could really do something with it.
Avenue Q is pretty much all of those things but it doesn't stop me from thinking it. For the record I usually do take the stairs. ;)

I've always loved Greek mythology - and I like their names better too! Bloody Romans :P
Yeah I hear you. The amount of people who have asked what I'm going to do with my useless degree is quite staggering and a little disheartening lol. But I'm hoping to go on and do Honours next year potentially so we'll see where it goes.
Hahahaha. Nice!

I remember sitting through my graduation and I was in the Classics department so I went first. Of course, I'm a good person and decided to wait an extra two hours while everyone else graduated instead of skipping out. Sitting through those three departments...OMG, I wish someone had killed me! Too many people!
(Mostly because I hate asking for someone to hold the elevator for me. lol)

Aw, that sucks. Good on you for staying though! Most people would've probably skipped out :P
