Dollhouse had its final episode. I missed it because Fox moved it to 8 on that night.
When I watched it online, I felt my eyes glazing over, my heart growing heavy as I watched it end, slowly, surely.
And as I watched Echo slip into her pod one last time, battle-worn and time-weary, as I remembered all the nights I had spent in front of the television watching my favorite show of all time, a part of me died inside.
I know this show got too short a run. It should have lasted for years, because I know that it could have, and it would have been kickass, given how the much second season improved on the first.
But some things are out of my control. I'm glad I enjoyed it while I could.
Dollhouse will forever hold a special place in my heart.
I miss Friday nights.
I miss awesome action scenes.
I miss Echo.
I miss Tahmoh Pennikett.
I miss Topher.
I miss British accents.
I miss political scandal.
I miss primal romance.
I miss the House.
I miss science-y nerd talks.
I miss poignant scenes.
I miss lush back story.
I miss Dollhouse.

Edit
So that politically correct thing didn't work out. I did have a great Christmas though; one can never go wrong with helping the poor and then spending time with family.
I also took the time to get some Chris Botti CDs, given my keen interest for a while. Got 'December' from iTunes and found 'A Thousand Kisses Deep' and 'To Love Again' for $9.99 each at Best Buy, so of course I splurged a bit. If you didn't know, Chris Botti is a jazz trumpet player, and he is AMAZING. His sound is smooth and velvety, and his music is always emotional stuff. His duets in 'To Love Again' are all fantastic.
Also introduced to myself via blind grab-and-buy at Border's to Third Eye Blind. Pretty mainstream sound, but they really don't try to be anything else, which you've got to respect them for. Still, some of their lyrics are pretty stupid.
Also got a bunch of musical recordings I have yet to listen to, such as Funny Girl, A Class Act, Spring Awakening and Hello, Dolly!. Thank goodness I have a break.
Happy Holiday Season to you all, once again.

'Tis The Season
Happy Holiday Season, all (I like to be politically correct: it makes me feel important).
I mean, Christmas is great and all, but what about the other holidays? Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day... they all have their own cultural importance and history.
Which is why I thought this week's episode of Community was so great- a confluence of traditions at Shirley's former Christmas-only party (also, epic fight scene).
So- this holiday season, as the holidays come and go, I will blog about them (it's my excuse to blog- because I love you guys!).
Also, I recommend some of my secular and non-secular seasonal favorites:
December-Chris Botti
Let It Snow!-Michael Buble
A Merry Affair-Various Artists
Happy Holiday Season, everyone.

Hell and Back-ish
First update in about four weeks! That's great. I missed this so much, my fingers were itching for typed self-expression for awhile now. Sorry, but college apps are still not done. Almost! So close.
Right now, all the stress is just piling on and sometimes I'm barely able to keep up. I haven't been able to be a morning person for awhile now, it's difficult when you have a 10:30 bedtime and a 5am calltime.
Some things have happened that have made me realize the duplicity of people (I find it ironic that I am reading "The Great Gatsby" as I find this duplicity). People I respected seem to have turned their backs on one of my good friends, laughing and poking fun at him and it killed me to see him struggle on his own. It's all said and done now, but looking given past experiences, I don't think I can look at some people the same way ever again. People can be such bitches sometimes.
The hell I aforementioned is, of course, college applications. Way to put my high school experience into perspective. I wept as I input my grades for math.
The best and probably only enjoyable part of the application for me was writing the personal statement for the UC applications. Reminiscing... call me a sympathetic fool, and I'll only be inclined to agree.
Also, more inspirations that I've found include The Nerdist, Chris Hardwick. Fine fellow, nerdy and hilarious. His site is great, and also Web Soup. YES. This, The Soup, Dexter, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and USA Network all make me want cable SO badly. Also, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, AverageJOE, has been doing neat stuff with his forum. Journalism can help me set up interviews/chances to meet them, yes? Like they did with me and LALO ALCARAZ?! Hell yeah. He's my hero. One of them, at least.
If you don't believe me, here is some Hardwick stuff:
Primal ME Therapy
Melons!
All of the above video are Web Soup. Huzzah! They works.

ITS HERE.
After a full summer of nonstop prep and such and such, the SAT is finally here.
Of course there's a lot of pressure: colleges see this, my parents paid over $2000 to raise my score, I took the whole summer to raise my score (dammit) and my parents DID pay a whole lot of money to raise my score.
But surprisingly, I'm not nervous. In fact, I'm PUMPED.
Is this cocky? I think so. But it's helping. Listening to the song "It's Me Life/ Confessions Part II" is really getting me going at the moment.
However, I still can't shake how muy importante this test-o is. I know I have to do well to show colleges that my grades aren't completely displaying my intelligence (apparently, though, I'm already scoring above my GPA. Go figure). Even though I'm once again in the pool of children who don't know what to do with their lives anymore, this score can get me into a good school and such.
Apparently, I care more than I let on. But I'm still pumped.
And to those reading this who are completely nervous for tomorrow: don't worry. You're smarter than you think. Stay calm, awake, aware and you'll do well. Don't, for one moment, say you can't do it. YOU CAN.
"Don't bend/ don't break/ baby don't back down."
