I talk alot about stuff...
Good afternoon! How are you all doing? I'm lazy and sleepy today. Indeed. My 2nd cousin Whitney is here right now. She was supposed to go over to be with her crazy mother for a few hours but Whitney hasn't called her and Lisa hasn't called her. It's cool. It's always fun to talk to her. I'm kind of jonesing for a TaB soda. It's like, I've never had it but I know what it is. I'll try to find it in a local store but if it's not there, I'll just buy it from the Internet. I think it's because of that one episode of The Sarah Silverman Program. I'm really not a fan of the show, but Comedy Central talks about it alot. I am indeed mouring Flower The Meerkat of Meerkat Manor. Though, it is a lot different than how I mourned the end of the Harry Potter series and the end of the Kim Possible series, as well as the characters who died in both series. Though, with the KP series, there were a smaller number of deaths as opposed to Harry Potter: at least 100 people in the entire series, whereas 4 people, including 2 aliens and 1 synthetic human in Kim Possible Anyway, the difference is that Meerkat Manor and all the characters within are REAL. They live as I type (given the time difference, I suppose they are sleeping). Flower lived. She breathed. She made love. She fought. She bore children. She led her group. That show is an unscripted (except for Sean Astin's narration) show. It's real. The crew of that show don't oplan any of that. Plus, with Harry Potter and Kim Possible, all of that is fictional. It is not real. Yes, I will admit that both these series are fictional, no matter how much I wish they were real. I figure one of the main reasons that I don't watch reality tv all that much (if at all) is that I get emotionally attached/invested in shows and movies and books that I watch or read. Explains why I only liked one season of the Real World. In addition, Why do you suppose that I feared to a great extent reading the final Harry Potter book so much Because I guarentee you, that if Harry Potter himself had died, I would have been absolutely devastated. Samw with if Ron or Hermione had died. Yes, indeed, I was very sad for the deaths of Sirius, Dumbledore, and Fred, and others, but if the trio themselves had died I would have taken it a lot harder. I mean, through the entire book, I feared for Ron's life. I feared for Hermione's life. I feared for Harry's life. Because, even though they are fictional, I had become attached to them. We've all heard of Jo Rowling crying after she killed Sirius. It's the same thing. The same thing with the Kim Possible show. If Kim and/or Ron had died in the finale, I know I would have taken it much harder than I took the end of the series. But, thankfully, both of the endings are left open in a way that if Jo or the Trinity of KP (Bob, Mark, and Steve) wanted to continue their respective series, then, indeed they could. But, with Meerkat Manor, it is indeed different. I just got into the show. I fell for the show and it got quickly addictive. And, I really wonder if that show will continue. I mean, I assumed that flowe was the main reason for the show. Though, with this, I mean, I am not torn up about it. I'm not crying all the time. I suppose the main difference is time. I mean, if I had watched Meerkat from the beginning, then I suppose I would have been completely brokenhearted. But, I'm still sad, because I really liked her. I'm a member of Amnesty International, and one of the things I do with them as a card-carrying member is the Freedom Writer's Program, writing to a selected person for them to help with somebody's human rights. Plus, I'm also involved in some other issues that they fight. When I typed up the three letters that I was sending, I felt really good. I mean, the thing is with that, the Legacy of Kim Possible and what she taught me if continuing on. I mean, that's what attracted me to the show. That this teenage girl just took it upon herself to save the world and protect people. I mean, that's what really matters, right? When a series ends or a person dies, isn't their legacy the thing that matters. So, I do enjoy South Park tons. I love that it's on a lot this weekend. I mean, I should definitely buy the boxsets. But that'd be after I finish buying Scrubs on DVD and other various things I want on DVD. Like Meerkat Manor on DVD. Discovery Channel's online story accepts PayPal, which made me oh-so-very-happy. In addition, Happy 55th Birthday to my Aunt Carolyn. Thought/Quote of the day: "My only wish is that they all continue with Steve's work.
