sooooooooo true!

I will never forgive the writers for what they did to Fred though. Never. Fred was my favorite character ever and she just got together with Wesley my second fav...
Haha, I loved Illyria, and just sort of liked Fred. Actually it was Cordelia who I was ticked off about.

I wanted to be Fred when i was younger! Funny how i ended up a dorky, chem major when you think of it.

Illyria was funny, like when she was kicking Spike's ass, but i still missed Fred. The last episode ever... that made me ball my eyes out.

Dont get me stared on Cordelia... theres just tooo much to say.

I bet age has a lot to do with how we view characters and seasons in Buffy/Angel. I grew up with Buffy and the crew -- I was a teen when Buffy was, in college when Buffy was, about to be an adult when Buffy was. I think I was a little older than Fred when she came about, so I never looked up to her, I guess. She did have a lot of endearing qualities though :)

I was 7 when I started watching Buffy... and 9 when i started watching Angel, and 11 when Fred joined the cast. I was also 12 when 14 year Connor joined the scene... heheeh I was in love with him!

Besides Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, and Sora from Kingdom Hearts I think he was my first TV crush.

I think they put in the young boy character surrounded by adults just so the young girls (even ones too young for crushing) can have crushes on them and watch. For me it was Wesley Crusher (don't judge!) and Lucas Wolenczak. *is clearly not a teen writing for teens*

Just saw the clip of Matt Bomer/Darren Criss singing 'Somebody That I Used to Know' and...OMG!

OH no, that's not it... he has family member 1year death anniversaries today, and i sent out a mass text message to him, his siblings and dad saying i was sorry and i'd keep them all in my prayers.

Just because i really felt bad... I was still with him when she died and know how it tore apart his family. And even though i'm not with him, i cant hate his family, who i thought was my family for the last five years, you know?

I was going to leave him out of the text messages, but i thought that would be super mean on a topic like this so i added him in too... and I kind of don't know if that was a good idea now.... I dont know its just an overall tricky and difficult situation, because i still care for his family. Plus its not like i broke up with him... so his family shouldn't hate me right?

Grrrrrr... still dont know if i did the right thing...

But has anyone heard the song "Eyes Open" by Taylor Swift for Hunger Games yet.

I keep listening to it on repeat (slightly ashamed to admit that...) but its just so perfect for my first book on like every level. So utterly perfect that i'm just in love with it!

And one of the new Lostprophets songs is officially my theme song! Everytime i listen to it no matter where i am i start bobbing my head. AHHHHH I love them. Why cant they come on tour to America???!!!! AHHHHHHHH what i would give to go to one of there concerts! I was in London when they were on tour there and had to leave ONE DAY BEFORE THE CONCERT!!!! But i swear before i die, i'm seeing one of there concerts!

There is nothing wrong with liking Taylor Swift.

I'm wondering how to combine a montage with flashbacks...

I'm slowly realizing that, because now i cant even deny that I love her music, although its still hidden under my iPod... heheeheheh.

Over the past few years, i've broadened my music taste, and still getting used to the sort of "OH MY GOD ALLY YOU LIKE THAT SONG!!!???" by my friends.
