I would like to start this entry by saying I miss those days where I actually did things. Even if those things were only going to school. At least they were things. Yesterday I watched the Germany/Italy game and today I watched the Portugal/France one. And all I can say is, yaaaay Italy and France! I am going to have problems tomorrow watching it, because while I love France with all my heart, the only hot player on the team is Zidane, who I could never marry because he would ruin my objective of moving up in the alphabet.

Today I went with my dad to the dry cleaners and to lunch. That is seriously it. Other than that, the notable events in my day have consisted of watching the Gilmore Girls on ABC Family. It's the beginning of Season Three, but it's fine, because zingers need no background, and it's not too hard. My main problem seems to be that I can find no redeeming qualities to Jess. I'm looking for them, I swear! But today he was mean to Luke! And I like Luke! Not as much as I like Lorelai, but still!

Um, ficathon is due in about two weeks, and I haven't written anything in about that length of time, and while I'm over the word limit, I am no where near done. Anywhere. Not in the vicinity.

Also, IB exam scores are out tomorrow, and it kind of makes me sick to think about. Those numbers are my entire high school career in a nutshell. A very small nutshell that decides whether or not those numbers add up to give me my diploma. Sweet heavenly god.

ETA: Um, apparently IB scores come out at all different times! How exciting. I've heard about four people receiving it, which makes me feel better, but oh man. It's so much more real.

I'm going to start watching Gilmore Girls, too. We'll have to discuss. And here's a redeeming quality: he's cute. :)

Also? Forza Azzurri!

Er. Not that I am trying to nudge you in the direction of any one team of anything. Italia, Italia, Italia! ♥

And here's a redeeming quality: he's cute. :)

Hee, I like the way you think.

Jess hides his redeeming qualities really, really well. Especially in season three. But they are there! Honest!

Also, he hates Ayn Rand. Which is enough to render me smitten for all of time.

So far all I've seen of Jess is that he looks skeevy, cleans up real nice- he's very hot, I agree- and he's mean to Luke. And is with that weird bimbo girl. I cannot stand for that. I must lay the law down somewhere.

Guh, so cute! The hottest of Rory's boyfriends, definitely. ;)

Hot, yes.

Well, my problem is I am completely steeped in French culture. So today I was all, yaaay France, OMG I LOVE THE PORTUGUESE MEN.

So I'll probably be pretty neutral come Sunday.

Also, do you watch the games in English or in Spanish?

English. I watched one or two in Spanish but it's too distracting. I have this habit where every time I hear Spanish I have to try and figure out what they are talking about, which leads me to get all depressed over how little I know. ;) So, to avoid my craziness, I stick with ESPN.

Are you able to be neutral? I always end up going crazy supportive of one team by the end. Except France vs. Portugal 'cause I can't bring myself to love the Portuguese anymore. I just went with a may the best team win mentality.

Which players do you think are hot? That's clearly half the fun anyway!

My cable thing offers this new, TIVO-like thing where you can pause TV, and by far been our favorite feature is the pause button. We can can pause it on the players' names.

Um, the only one coming to mind is Philipp Degen from the Swiss team, and Zidane. I was in love with some of the Portuguese team, and the Italian team. I haven't watched many games, okay? I'll let you know more after Sunday.

Also, we feel compelled to watch it in Spanish. Mostly because of the GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. It's the best part. Plus, I love the announcer guy on Univision. And I learned the word for ball in Spanish, and have picked up another few words. It works out.

Dude, you do a lot more than I do. Dry cleaning? Lunch? I'm lucky if I leave my bedroom, let alone the house.

And eeeee, Gilmores! I watched a little bit of it, but I was watching Felicity at the same time, and that one took priority, because I wanted to see Weiss. (Who never showed up. Lame. But goth!Carrie made up for it, as she often does. Even if she pretty much just walked in, grunted, and walked out a few times.) But, yes, that episode delights. I love Lorelai. And Luke. And Luke/Lorelai, which is so one of the most gorgeous ships of all time ever, pretty much. They are purely enchanting.

I love Jess's rant to Luke at the end, even though it's mean. Just because it has that element of, ya know, establishing that they are indeed both head over heels for those Gilmore ladies.

Hee, I never leave my bedroom, either! I mean, it's bad. I just wear the same PJs for days on end. If I can admit that.

See... okay. I totally get Luke/Lorelai. The mad UST. The uberpining. The cute glances. The "Pshaw, Luke is not in love with me!" The adorable doing things like buying someone's picnic basket and painting diners stuff. I mean, it's right up my alley! They have SHOW OTP stamped on their foreheads -- I should be so on board, right? BUT NO. I think I totally messed up by watching season 6, wherein the Luke/Lorelai relationship sucks majorly and Lorelai, you know, sleeps with Chris. I did this all backwards, and for that reason, I will always pine for the wrong ship!

...also, I don't know if the other Hannah told you yet, but... but... Alexis/Milo BROKE UP. And Milo said that he's done with GG!

*weeps*

Aww, man! S6 was weird. I'm glad I only really saw the end of it. Although even that was pretty much devastating. I really don't know how they're going to fix Luke/Lorelai now. It just saddens me. Kate/Sawyer had better work -- and not just a little bit; it better be the most perfectly executed television romance since Mulder/Scully, damn it -- because all of my other OTPs are dropping like flies. Or getting exploded and turning evil. WOE.

But be strong. *pats* Everybody has to pine for the wrong ship sometimes!

And the Alexis/Milo thing is too terrible beyond words. I just hope now that Rory ends up single, because that way, who the heck's to say she's not going to end up with Jess eventually?

For some reason, I find it hilarious that you jump so from Luke/Lor to Kate/Sawyer, hee.

Yeah, season 6 was... not fun. I mean, I hate Logan with a burning passion, so there was that. And Rory was so obnoxious. And Luke had that stupid April. And then Lorelai slept with Chris! I think I accidentally willed it. But yeah... I have no idea what Luke is going to do about that. He always has been a bit "Ugh" towards Chris, because Lorelai has hinted that he might be The One. Also, how's this for the best plotline ever? Remember, it's probably the last season, so why the hell not?--

Lorelai should find out she's pregnant, but she won't know whose baby it is. :P

Hee. I hope Kate/Sawyer works, too! Basically, for me, UST-wise, they're number two after Mulder/Scully, so for that relationship to sustain itself and continue in a beautiful balance of banter and glances and touches and subtext... eee. I would love it.

I am NO GOOD at the wrong ship thing! I really have never done it before. I mean, you know how long it took me to succumb to my Kate/Sawyer love, and I still cling desperately to Kate/Jack, just in case. :P

Oohhh, I like that! Also, I kind of hope that Luke/Lorelai don't get married--I want them to stay engaged, but I feel a wedding would be... cheesey and overwrought? I don't know.

Also, if you see this, tonight at 10 EST, ABC is re-showing "What Kate Did" in all its Kawyer glory! ;)

... the same PJs for days? Sweetheart, don't tell that to people.

I have yet to see Chris, so the jury is out.

And I consoled Hannah for hours last night about that, and she told me what it means, I am sad, sad for her and GG, but I am also hopeful.

Well, it only lasts for like, 50-some hours, I suppose. I'll wear new PJs tomorrow, since I've had these since Tuesday night.

I hated the mere idea of Chris -- this guy who walked out on a 16-and-pregnant-Lorelai, and hasn't been around to see Rory grow up? But then, they explained all that, and the episode Chris first showed up, it was love. He's also very, very attractive.

It's very sad. They were a gorgeous couple, on screen and off.

Bad, bad modified SyVa quotage! The thought of that scene makes me cringe.

Well, the computer lives in the sunroom, so I must leave my room if not only for that purpose. Also? The kitchen. Food and such.

*squee* I love Felicity. If only I wasn't moving away from home. I will soon have to forfeit my DVD-renting.

Weiss on Felicity is awesome. I love him a hundred times better as Sean. And with Carrie! Oh man. The love.

I do have a burgeoning passion for Luke/Lorelai. Because they flirt so cute!

Dude? The entire rant I wanted to bash him upside the head. Because he was so, so wrong. "I have self esteem!" he yells, without adding "so I screw everyone, because I rock!" OMG, shut up, Jess. Your name is almost Jessica. And the minute I add the -ica, he's dead to me.

You'd better finish that ficathon fic ASAP because won't you not be home when it's due? As in, you'll be visiting me somewhere in that timeframe? :P

I wish you'd started GG at the beginning of season 2, because you'd understand Jess and Lorelai/Chris. I mean, Luke/Lorelai is lovely in all its UST glory, but Lorelai/Chris believe in instant gratification.

Ooh, randomish question -- how much of GG have you seen?

Around 1/3rd of season 6, all of seasons 1 and 2 (SQUEE!) and the first two discs of season 3. The third disc of S3 is in the mail. :D But I'm game for spoilers, and I know a bit here and there about what happens.

Also, re: season 6, I know basically everything that happened, but I couldn't STAND Rory, so I gave up somewhere in there to watch my ER tapes from TNT, instead. That'll probably tell you how angry I was--I stopped watching in order to watch a show I could watch anytime I wanted. :P

I still have about a week to finish, and I will most likely have a laptop by then, so I should be able to work on it after I leave. But god only knows.

Well, I would have, but netflix is being lame.

Gilmore Girls! Yay! I don't know about Jess. I mean, ehh. I don't think I've ever loved Rory/Anyone. I don't know. But Lorelai is just so awesome. And total love for Luke.

I can't wait until you get here. Do you know a lot people who are coming here? I'm sure you'll find that even if you didn't really hang out with them outside of school in HS, if you liked them, you'll probably hang out with them here.

Yeah. But I'm so excited for you coming. (Well, so excited for all the fall'ies, but ESPECIALLY excited for you!) I think we're gonna have so much fun!

I'll let you know who I'm for Rory being with once I watch more of the show. But I definitely adore Lorelai. Mostly because I see a lot of my mom in her.

I'm so excited to be going there, Ollie. Like I told you, I know so many people that are going to UF, but none of my super-tight buddies. Well, some super-tight school buddies, that I'll probably hang out with. But then, the IB kids might lump together like always out of habit.

And I am so excited to meet you, Ollie! We ARE going to have so much fun!

Your mom is a Lorelai? That's awesome. Lorelai is one of my favorite characters. She's so wonderfully dorky and quirky.

Ah, well, you have to promise to find some time to hang out with me!
