Sometimes you wanna go

where everybody knows your name...

Ya know, I used to be SET when I turned the WB11 on television at 11 o'clock every night. Friends - Will & Grace - Frasier - Sex & the City - Everybody Loves Raymond - Cheers - everything was perfect. I would fall asleep in bed to the most entertaining shows...

Now, I'm lucky to get an hour and a half of good quality television at night. I've got the "CW11" on now and this just sucks. I got three shows surrounded by cartoons and George Lopez. And more George Lopez. I can't really just blame the channel for changing the shows or anything. Truth is, the shows just aren't around anymore.

When these shows got cancelled along with The Nanny and such, where were the replacements? The great comedies that started in the 90s are over and there are no new ones here to take there place. The only new shows on TV anymore are reality! Not that I don't love me a good episode of Top Chef of Model each week, but I wish I had to think just a little bit more - maybe get a little passionate about some people that I don't know. Here we are, thrilled about the SATC movie, and it's really because we MISS the characters that we could follow around and love. I can't love the idiots that come and go on a reality show for a season.

So, this clearly is the most retarded thing to write about in the world...but I'm awake cause I've got a paper to write (ONE WEEK TO GO!!!) and there is NO MORE television to keep me going. I've got friggen Poison Ivy with a trashy Drew Barrymore on. So very depressing lol.

soooooo

so, it's been almost a year since i wrote in here - how can that be? well, i know how that can be, really - life gets hard, my schedule is crazy, i have no time to even call my friends...but hey, i'm drunk enough right now to realize that i should write something down

i went to a SWEET 16 this evening!! can you believe that - i'm 23. just turned, actually, about a week ago. ian and i went to TCI for my birthday and it was wonderful - we went horseback riding on the beach, scuba diving, para-sailing, conch diving, got massages, it was all lots and lots of fun. BUT i even had to bring some HW with me. school has been absolutely crazy, totally taken over my life. i actually had two projects to work on while we were away, boo.

almost done with year number one! it's been absolutely insane, but i must say, i'm proud to say that i can match hair, fingerprints, DNA samples, i can blood type, identify glass, fibers and crystals. it's really pretty cool - in a TOTALLY dorky way.

so my ex-boyfriend thinks that i'm a bitch for not calling to let him know that i started dating someone new. i dunno, i guess i just didn't think that was news he would want to hear ASAP. i thought that not talking about it was better, less hurtful and not as bitchy as he seems to think i am. i really just don't know what to do about the situation anymore - i'm trying to be the responsible, respectful one and NOT put our friends in the middle of this crap, yet he feels the need to convince people to choose sides. of course they will if you're bitching about what an awful person i am and i'm not saying a word - my bad, thought i was doing the respectful thing.
