So it's back to school with me...
First of all, GIP
One of the icons I posted a couple of days ago, obviously coming from my Alias obssession that has been triggered by the cancelation of the show. That seems to always happen to me.
Yeah, back to school. Sucks, in a few words.
I have a 2 hour hole today, and I was thinking perhaps I could update here, because I haven't done that in ages, and I haven't seen anyone to have lunch with, and I'm not having lunch alone because I'm not even hungry though I'd like to go out...

-I'm going back to dancing. It's decided. Kris and I talked, and we're making The Comeback, together. Which is by far less scary than going alone.
-My sister is making a good recovery. Has her school stuff brought home, and she's doing really good.
-I've considered taking up one more class... But I'm still unsure. My schedule will suffer greatly... but I would do it if it meant I'd be taking ID... ... Still considering.
-I'm tired... I need a good long, relaxing holiday. Which is weird for me to say, because this year is the one I've taken most holidays... I've been on holiday at least 3 times... Gone for the weekend... Once I went away for the week...
Still, I could use more.
-Shonda Rimes (hoping I get the name right), has become a Spiritual Guide for me... Seriously. :P
And this has everything to do with me saying a few months back, that I cry mostly at every Grey's Anatomy episode. Seriously. (I'm going to wear that out) But I do, I really cry, big, long, wearing out, exhausting tears at every episode. It's only been a couple of episodes I didn't cry, but I usually cry. That's how bad it breaks my heart. That'show much it honestly speaks to me. Because it does! It really does speak to me, in that incredibly direct way in which you're sure the world is shattering all around you and a new world is being built instead.
That's how much of Meredith I see in me! That's how many of her flaws I see in me.
And reading Shonda Rhimes FAQ Section, I swear, she's almost a new Spiritual Guide; she says,
"But more importantly, Meredith is the one of only a few women on television who is truly flawed. FLAWED in capital letters. Remember, this is a woman who, in the very first episode of Grey's Anatomy, picked up a guy at a bar, brought him home, slept with him and then tried to throw him out in the morning without even learning his name (his name happened to be Derek Shepherd). Her flawed nature is the thing I love most about the character. It's why I wrote the show. Meredith is all of us on our worst and best days. And, at one time or another, we've all slept with a guy friend when we knew we shouldn't (and Dad, if you are reading this, I mean "we" in an "every single woman on the planet but me" kind of way). You know what I'm talking about, you know you do.
And here's the thing I really would like you to remember on dark nights when you lie in bed hating my guts: In movies and most TV shows, when two friends sleep together, it's a magical start to a wonderful relationship. In life, it's quite often a hideous beginning to a very long awkward nightmare. I wanted to take a leap and keep our characters honest. Come on and leap with me, people!"
See?
It's just... good. So good.
She says this about Seriously:
"Why do you and the characters say "seriously" all the time?
Because Krista Vernoff, one of our valued writers, says it constantly in the Writers' Room. CONSTANTLY. Like, four hundred and fifty times a day. And it is catching. Now we all say it. Seriously. Krista says she caught the "seriously" bug from one of her friends and brought it to work and spread it to all of us. It's an awesome word. Said correctly, it can convey sarcasm, dismay, disbelief, a sense of moral and ethical superiority and gentle chastising punishment all at once. Seriously."
So much love...
