fishing around for comments on a saturday afternoon...

I gain a lot of amusement and fodder from reading livejournals and blogs and such. I'd say that's a good amount of the time I spend online--besides searching for music/watching movie trailers. I always analyze most of the entries I read, sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. I like to be the outside observer, always have. When I was a kid/

Well, I've been reading your posts for awhile and never felt compelled to comment until now. But this one stood out for me:

My guilty pleasure, although I feel no guilt towards it, is reading books geared towards fourteen year old girls.

I do too, I got into "The Insiders" series, which is a book series about a group of rich boys in NYC, it's a total guilty pleasure but it's a nice diversion from the books I actually have to read for class.

I had to watch practically every mary kate/ashley film because my cousins were obsessed with them a couple of years ago and any time I'd come over to babysit, they'd want to watch them over and over and over again. I've tried to block it out, but so far it hasn't worked.

I think people who don't cry at least once during the Notebook don't believe in love. :)

Word! I haven't seen the movie, but I was an emotional wreck when I was reading the book, it's just such a beautiful love story. I also cry incredibly easily, then again, I'm an *aspiring* actress, so that's a good skill to have :)

Well, I'm glad you decided to comment--I know a lot of people read my journal without commenting and that's cool because I do that with a lot of journals, too.

Gossip Girl is my series of choice--I love how it's outrageous but not so and skanky. Love the skankiness. I read physiology and histology all day--I gotta have a break from that.

You didn't have a choice in your Mary-Kate and Ashley viewing, I did and I stand by my terrible decision. I've even seen most of the mystery, party, sing along series.

You should see the movie. It's not really much like the book at all, since it focuses more on the younger couple, but I could watch that movie like a billion times and it will still effect me. Good luck on your career, are you an aspiring film actress or stage?

i love the gossip girl series too, and the travelling pants one. they make me cry.

you should really read sloppy firsts and second helpings by megan mccafferty. they're my second favorite teen lit series (after the travelling pants). i think they're geared for.. 16 year olds. i love them :)

I'm a stage actress, well at least I've been trained for that, although I'd love to get the chance to do some film/tv work. A friend of mine with *much* better connections is doing a lot of tv right now and she makes it sound so great...so maybe in the future...I hope, but I don't really know, I just want to act...right now I'm just doing community theater and plays up at my college.

I should admit that I've watched "so little time" of my volition, more than once. I don't know what it was about that show, but I really enjoyed it sometimes, it was sort of like eating cotton candy.

I'll definitely see the movie, it's on my Netflix rental queue, I'm just wondering if you have to be in like a really good mood to see it. Is it depressing like the book? Thanks for replying so quickly, I'll definitely be friending you now :)

You don't have to be in a good mood for a good cry--which is what's going to happen with this movie. It's not very much like the book at all, except for the main plot points, the ending is very different though. I don't think of stories like this to be depressing though, I think they're more hopeful than anything else.

I'm in med school/college in the Midwest. There's nothing to do here, so yeah, I'm on the internet a lot. I'll friend you back.
