meme, addendum, update, oh my!
Because I completely forgot to write this yesterday and couldn't motivate myself in the least bit to fix it. I'm so damn lazy, or unmotivated now when it comes to The L Word (I REALLY want to love this show again like I did in season one, if they could just get over this new writer every week we'd have progress). Anyway
So yesterday I forgot to talk about two things. First, the other good part about the writing was the in-joke about Tina going to "Vancouver" and talking about the Canadian crew. For those that don't know, The L Word is shot in Vancouver, with only a few obviuos exteriors shot in L.A. So it was a definite nod to the true fans to get a laugh at them basically poking fun at themselves for a minute. It was witty for a second.
And the other thing, I'm disappointed in the Helena/Dylan relationship. It's moving INCREDIBLY fast and it feels like I missed alot concerning their relationship from last week to this week. I understand with only 13 episodes storylines have to move fast, but you don't have to move quickly and compromise a characters personality and integrity. Last week we have Dylan, obviously into Helena, but still rather timid and a little awkward around her. This week, Dylan comes bounding into Helena's office, notices Helena is talking to her kids, says hi to said ankle biters, gets excited about the chances to meet the kids, and then gives Helena a gift. The fuck?! First off, I'm not going to be into meeting someone's CHILDREN if I'm still questioning my sexuality because I'd want to be certain of what exactly I wanted. It's either wicked denial or alot has been missed entirely in the relationship that Dylan would feel so entirely comfortable practically shagging Helena against a wall while she's putting the brakes on to the relationship!
Wait...did I just say shag...DAMMIT! Damn you stephiny, it's all YOUR fault!
Anyway, it's obvious this relationship is going to lead to the same bad (or worse) places as the Jenny/Marina relationship. But I wouldn't mind them fleshing the relationship out a bit!
And now thanks to shui79 and stephiny for making me feel all old *g*, an
In the fall of 1998:
How old were you?
20
What grade were you in?
No grade, but I was in my second year of college
Where did you go to school?
IUPUI, and I was getting ready to apply to the Kelley School of Business...though that didn't last
Where did you work?
gross ass McDonald's
Where did you live?
Indy
How was your hair style?
Pretty long, blonde, to the middle of my back I'd say
Did you wear braces?
Negative!
Did you wear contacts?
nope, I do believe that's when I officially became 4 eyes though
Did you wear glasses?
see above answer *g*
Who was your best friend?
hrm, probably my ex
Who was your boyfriend/girlfriend?
no one yet, I don't think I started dating my ex until the next spring
Who was your celebrity crush?
A toss up between Lucy Lawless, Gillian Anderson, Nana Visitor, or Terry Farrell
Who was your regular-person crush?
hmmm...a couple pepole I worked with at the time
Were you a virgin?
at that time yeah, though not for much longer *g*
How many piercings did you have?
none
How many tattoos did you have?
I had one at the time
What was your favorite band?
Oo, tough one, I don't think I had just one, but most likely VAST, Bush, Veruca Salt, Hole, and Portishead
What was your biggest fear?
big hairy spiders and being alone
Had you smoked a cigarette yet?

Jesus, probably most of my nieces and nephews
Right now I'm ready to head back to bed and go to sleep. Also, everyone run out and buy Rent today, the DVD is supposed to contain the complete 'Goodbye Love' and 'Halloween', even if they weren't put back in the movie, the extension should be fantastic since they are both phenomenal songs.
