yes, I know I've been gone for a while, but I was just... um.. Depressed, really, would be the word here. This was just the worst summer I ever had.

Let's recap, shall we?

-First, I lost my dog, who we still haven't found. After 16 years that she was living with us, she was just gone, like that *snaps fingers*.

-Then I got really upset with my family over some stuff, and I stopped talking to everyone (of my fam.) but my sister.

-My sister then started her military service (there's conscription in Israel), so now I barely get to see her.

-I then found out that my english teacher died of cancer, and I was absolutely crushed, because she was one of my favorite teachers at school, and it's awful to think she isn't gonna be there anymore. I adored her, I'm really going to miss her.

-Then, a week ago, my best friend left to go to school in Costa Rica for two years, so it's going to be a while before I see her again.

-And to top it all off, my other dog died a few days ago. my dad texted me (cuz I don't answer his calls anymore) when I was on the bus, and I just couldn't stop crying, and people kept coming up to me and staring at me and it was really awkward.

So I was just in a really bad mood for most of the summer, and I didn't feel like doing anything besides sleep, or lay in bed and stare at the wall.

*sigh*

...Moving on:

School started. That's so wierd. I just had my last first-day-of-school ever. This is my last year. I can't believe that this is actually happening, that by this time next year I'm not going to have school anymore.

And that thought saddens me. Because I love my school. It's art-sy and weird, and people there look like extras from Fame. And I'm really going to miss my teachers, I really love them, each and every one of them, they are all absolutely wonderful, adorable people (we (the students) have freakishly good and close relationships with the teachers at my school). I'll miss not seeing them everyday, or at all, after I graduate. *another sigh*

-------------------------------------------------------------

Let's try a brighter subject -

The new season of Gossip Girl starts tonight. I'm so excited :D. I managed to stay clear of most of the spoilers out there, because I want to be shocked and surprised by every twist and turn.

I also caught up to Bones, so I'm going to be watching season 4 when it starts (on Wednesday, is it?). The show got really good in season 2, and I like David Boreanaz a lot more now, he's really easing into his role. And oh, I love love love Angela and Hodgins together! They're just so cute! And I think I reached the conclusion that Angela is my favorite character. And my fav. episode is Aliens in a Spaceship.

I really liked season 3, but I didn't really love the ending -

***Spoilers! Spoilers! Run away if you haven't watched the entire third season of Bones!***

So Zack was the apprentice dude? WTF?! I know that it's supposed to be a whole weak pesonality-strong personality thing, but that just went so much against his character. And they didn't even do it like he was a real psycho who fooled everyone into thinking he was this nice guy when he was really master-minding the whole widows son/Gormogon thingy. He should have at least muahahahaha-ed a little. I mean, I don't wan't him to be evil, but if they're going to make him the bad guy, they should have made it somewhat believable and whitin his character. It just came out of nowhere, and then went nowhere. The whole "we want to make a shocking conclusion, but not have your feelings for the character change" thing just didn't work. It was poorly done.

***End of spoilers***

I'm working on catching up to Chuck as well, so I'm going to be watching quite a few shows this coming tv season. I'm happy about that. :)

I also watched series 1 of Ashes to Ashes (that Life on Mars sequel/spin-off thingy), and I quite liked it. The only thing that bothered me (I mean besides Keeley Haws' acting in some parts) was that Alex never really seemed to ask herself why exactly is she being chased around by a David Bowie look-alike. Hm.

And now, I will leave you with a picture of David Bowie. Just 'cause. (obsessions are fun, aren't they?)

Yes, I am aware of the fact that I haven't blogged in over two weeks, but I just didn't feel very bloggy lately :?.

So I got a bunch of money for my birthday, and I already spent some of it. Bought some CDs and DVDs. I got season 1 of The Riches, which is a show I've mainly been wanting to watch 'cause I'm a big Eddie Izzard fangirl. It was fantastic, really funny, and really intense. Minnie Driver does an amazing job in it.

I also finally got season 1&2 of Bones. I've already finished season 1, and I started season 2 yesterday. It's pretty good, but I have to say that I expected a little more. I don't really like procedural CSI-type shows, but I'm enjoying it so far, so that's something. I'm also unimpressed with David Boreanaz, but then again I'm usually unipmressed with him, so this isn't terribly surprising to me. I know there are some DB lovers aroung here, but sorry, I just don't think he's a very good actor. Anyway, I'm really liking tha characters of Angela, Hodgins and Brennan, I just hope the show will put a little more effort into character development.

Ah yes, today is my second veganniversary. Two years ago today, I made the best decision of my life to become vegan. No animal exploitation for me :D. I advise anyone with a heart and a sense of mercy to at least go vegetarian and help stop the suffering and slaughter of millions upon millions of animals in factory farms every week (and I'm not even going to start on animal experimentation, and the fur/leather industries).

This is the life journey of what you eat:

For more information, go to PETA's website.

And here are some vegans/vegetarians you might know:

Emily Deschanel -

Paul McCartney -

Jared Leto -

Natalie Portman -

Milo Ventimiglia -

Kristen Bell -

And on that note - see ya next time.

Hey you guys, it's my birthday. Today I turned 17, which means I now can... Uh... I don't know, wait another year until I'm 18 (17 is such a useless age).

I'm meeting some friends later and we'll probably do something. I don't know what, though.

I don't know, just felt like blogging (which I rarely do).

I'll get right to it -

(note: ignore the bad writing)

Top 20 BtVS Episodes - part 4

#5: Restless (4x22): When I first watched this episode I was just, like, "what the hell was that, and why is it the season finale?". I just didn't get it. I didn't even like it. But it grew on me. Oh, it very much did. After a few viewings I began to see all the different layers. And this episode has many of them. This is one of my most watched episodes of the show, because there's just always something new in it. Restless reveals a lot of things about each character, and it is completely about the characters. My favorite dream is Xander's dream, it just has so many beautiful moments in it (both visually and content-wise). There's just something about getting into the the characters' subconscious that is just so interesting. To see how they really feel, and what they really think. Restless is also a visually stunning piece of television, with it's surrealism, and the way Joss can so wonderfully portray that hard-to-capture dream quality. A very unique episode.

#4: The Gift (5x22): My favorite season finale. It's definitely the saddest (I didn't really care when Buffy killed Angel). Pretty much everything about it is perfect, right from the "previously, on..." to the final moment, when you see her gravestone. The first scene where Buffy fights the vempire in the ally just sums up what the entire show is about. It's one of the best scenes in the entire show. I also loved the scene where Xander proposes to Anya. They're just such a fantastic couple, and that was such a beautiful moment, especially when Anya tells Xander that he's proposing because the world is going to end, and Xander says he's proposing because it's not, and then she tells him to give her the ring when the world doesn't end. It's so wonderfully written. I also love it when Buffy finally let's Spike back into the house, and the look on his face when he walks in. And then they have this beautiful moment between them ("I know you'll never love me. I know that I'm a monster. But you treat me like a man, and that's..."). And then of course there's the awesomeness of Buffy's fight against Glory, and Buffy's memorable death scene.

#3: Once More, With Feeling (6x07): This is probably my most watched piece of television, ever. And you know why? Because it's a musical! It's a freakin' musical! A Buffy musical! A musical of Buffy! How can I not watch it over and over and over again? It's got dancing vampires and the coolest demon ever, and tap-dancing, and the mustard guy, and Spike singing a rock ballad (*swoon*). And it's funny and sad and addictive. And I watched it too much, and now I can barely even listen to the soundtrack (to which I listened non-stop for 4 months), but it's still one of the awesomest musicals ever made, not just in television.

#2: Who Are You (4x16): I don't know why exactly this episode is my #2, but it is. Besides containing my favorite line of the whole show ("because it's wrong". I even have a button that says that), this episode is my favorite Faith episode (including the Angel eps.). It's got so many funny scenes in it, like when Faith-in-Buffy looks in the mirror, and when Buffy-in-Faith goes to see Giles ("Look, I-I know what you're going to say, and-and, uh--" "I'm Buffy." "All right, I didn't know what you were going to say. But that doesn't make you any less crazy."), it also has a lot of drama (when Faith freaks out after Riley says he loves her, and when Buffy finds her at the end and Faith beats her -herself-, yelling at her that she's nothing). And there was some dirtiness (you know what certain "spell" scene I'm talking about). This episode showed Faith at her most complex, and I love seeing how she deals with finally having the life she was so jealous of. This episodes masquerades as just another fun semi-dark Faith episode that is about Faith and Buffy's wierd relationship, but is much deeper than that. it deals with identity issues, infriority complexes and self-hatred. And I like it.

#1: The Body (5x16): This episode is perfect. In every single way, it is perfect. From SMG's phenomenal acting, to the brilliant writing, to the best piece of directing I have seen in television, it's perfect. Joss completely out-did himself with this one. This is the most realistic episode of the show, and part of that is due to Joss' genius decision to not accompany it with a musical score. This has probably got to be the best episode of any television show I have ever seen in my life. I watched it over 100 times, and I get chills everytime I watch it. The best scene, by far, is Anya's speech of how she doesn't understand death, which is something that everyone feels but doesn't express. I also love the scene where Buffy tells Dawn. It's just so heartbreaking. The first time I watched it, I just felt like the air has been punched out of my body. I was breathless and speechless. This episode is so good, that there are no words in the english language to describe how good it is and how much I love it.

Well, that's it. I'll start a new countdown on my next blog. You'll see what it is when I do it.

Well, hello children. Yes. yes, I know, I'm not really blogging lately and I barely comment, and blah blah blah... Anyway, I'm here.

So - after watching Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture (hence the new banner), I have officially fallen in love with David Bowie (not that I didn't before, but seeing him live in action like that just sealed the deal). I mean come on:

Okay, sorry, I'm done :D.

Also, there's a new icon. Doctor Who. It's the 10Rose kiss from Journey's End. I mean, it did feel a bit wrong that she wasn't with the real doctor, I think the writers kinda failed to establish the fact that HumanDoctor was the same as the original and that he and Rose had the same great chemistry, but still, my little fangirl heart nearly exploded when they finally kissed.

Woohoo! After many complications, I have photoshop again! Yay! (my brother accidentally deleted it when he reformatted the hard-drive)

Top 20 BtVS Episodes - part 3

#10: Lover's Walk (3x08 ) : This is one of those wonderful Spike-centric episodes. And besides the main Spike-wants-Dru-back plotline, it also had a very funnysadintersting sub-plot of the whole WillowOz-WillowXander-XanderCordelia thing. Buffy and Angel are trying to be "just friends", which is something I really didn't care about, but at least it lead to Spike amazing speech about it ("Love isn't brains, children, it's blood"). I loved Spike's pathetic drunken-ness ("oh my head, I think I'm sobering up"), and how desperate and determined he was to get Dru back. I was sad that two of my favorite couples broke up at the end of that episode, and I felt really bad for Cordy. She and Xander were my fav. couple at the time. But I think the best moment of the episode was when we realized Oz's sarcastic voice sounds just like his regular voice (mostly 'cause I do that too) :D.

#9: Fool For Love (5x07): So, did I mention I love Spike? I love that we finally got to see a little history. Spike's not-as-glamourous-as-you-thought-it-would-be past was just wonderful to watch. I love seeing that he was really William The Bloody Awful Poet. And that when Dru turned him, it was actually kind of painful. We saw how he got the name, the attitude, the accent, the scar, the hair and the coat. We saw the evolutin of Spike. And by the end of the episode, when he went to kill, but eventually consoled Buffy (I consider this episode, btw, to be the beginning of Spuffy) I realized That he has always defined himself by the women he was in love with (a high society poet-wannabe for cecily, an evil vamp with Dru and a trying-to-be-helpful good-guy-vamp with Buffy). Plus this is an amazing two-parter with Angel's Darla. Watching them together was an enlightening experience.

#8: Conversations With Dead People (7x07): this was, by far, the best episode of season 7. Everything from Buffy's funny and insightful conversation with Holden, to Dawn's creepy haunted house experience. The episode was so wonderfully scary and funny and sad. I really cried during Willow's conv. with CassyThe First, it was just heartbreaking. Jonathan and Andrew's little adventure aroud the new school was just really funny, up until Jonathan's beautiful speech about how he misses the people from high school, and then, of course, his death. Buffy finally realizes what her personality complexes are, and those two seconds where they showed Joyce's body on the couch scared the bejesus out of me. Oh, and Spike is killing again. Good times. And all of this is just wrapped up in one of the best, most amazing songs ever performed on Buffy.

#7: Passion (2x17): WOW. Angelus finally becomes a truly frightening villain in this episode. His ongoing speech about passion throughout the ep. is one of the best peices of writing ever featured on the show. And the way he killed Jenny was just... I mean, he didn't even drink from her, he just snapped her neck, like she was nothing, and how he put her in Giles' bed like that was beyond cruelty. That scene of Giles going up the stairs and discovering the body with the opera music playing in the background is absolutely horrible and brilliant at the same time. But my fav. moment is after Giles tries to kill Angelus and Buffy punches him and tells him she can't do this without him. I just love their relationship. It's my favorite (romantic&non-romantic) relationship on the show.

#6: Earshot (3x18 ) : Yes, this episode is brilliant, but I can't really explain why I ranked it so high. It dosn't really have too much plot significance, it's a total standalone, it's funny and wonderful yet not that amazing, and still - I love it. I loved hearing everyone's thoughts - Xander thinking about sex, Oz's existential "ramble", and Wesley's "look at Cordelia... No! Don't look ant Cordelia!". I loved seeing everyone interrogating students to find out the killer ("Hi Mr. Beech! I was just wondering, were you planning on killing a bunch of people tomorrow? Oh, it's for the yearbook!"), and then Buffy's beautiful speech to Jonathan which hit right on the teen angst target. Oh, and the killer was the frickin' lunch lady! (Which Xander predicted - "See, I've been saying for years that the lunch lady's gonna do us all in with that Mulligan Stew." "I mean, what the hell's a Mulligan?") How hilarious was that??!

Well, next time it's my top 5.

Cheers.

(Oh, and 10 points for the people who recognize the quote at the title) (it's not that hard)

Hey, yeah, sorry I wasn't here for so long. I was really busy. And when I wasn't busy I was tired (which is one of the unfortunate side effects of being busy), so I havn't really done much around here.

One of my dogs has gone missing. I'm really worried cuz she's really old, and if she hasn't come back by now (it's been two days), then I'm assuming something bad happened. I mean, she's 17, she can barely move, this is the first time she got out on the street in like, 5 years, how far can she get? *sigh* I'm also assuming that if anyone found her they're going to take her to a vet, who will find her chip, but if that hasn't happened by now... I don't know...

So anyway, school is finally over. I only have a civics test left on.. uh.. Sunday, I think? (wow, I should really check on that) and that would be it for this year.

Oh, and by the way, I took my final history test on Monday and now I am done with history. Forever and ever and ever. No more. I am done. I am so very very done! Woohoo! No more nazis, no more communisn, no more world wars no more scary dictators with moustaches, no more. Now I can forget about all this crap and move on with my life. Yes.

Wow, I can't believe I only have one more year of school left. I'm so happy and sad at the same time.

I went to the Jerusalem pride parade last week. It was fun. Tons of people showed up. I saw some friends that I havn't seen in a while, and there were a lot of people from my school, even some teachers (we're a very liberal school). It was great.

Me and a couple of friends saw 27 Dresses yesterday, and the moment it ended, I was like, "OMG. That SUCKED." It really did, it sucked. It was probably the worst movie I've seen in my entire life. And it wasn't even one of those so-bad-it's-good movies. I couldn't even laugh about it, it was so bad. I mean, wow, I am at awe at how much I suffered through watching it. Just a crappy, crappy movie. OK, I just had to get that off my chest.

OMG, Doctor Who! (spoilers for 4x12) Regeneration? What?! I mean, David signed on to do series 5, so they can't replace him, right? RIGHT? *wimper*

So yeah, Buffy countdown:

#15: Graduation Day (3x21+3x22): So Ok, besides the fact that Anya shows up again in a very cute guest appearance, besides the scene where Angel drains Buffy, besides the fact that they blew up the school and besides every other scenes that made this episode nearly perfect, this episode had my single favorite fight scene in the entire show. Faith vs. Buffy at the end of part 1. That was just... Genius. And that moment where Buffy stabs Faith and the looks on their faces is powerful. Just amazing. I love every second of it.

#14: Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered (2x16): Ok, so I love Xander. I love episodes that are Xander-centric (Like The Zeppo and The Replacement), and this one was brilliant. Starting with the great dialogue between Xander and Buffy at the beginning ("Sorry to say, Xand, slaying is a tad more perilous than dating." "Well, you're obviously not dating Cordelia."), then the scene where Cordy breaks up with Xander and his reaction ("I mean, what, were you running low on dramatic irony?") and then the whole spell thing with Amy, and Buffy turning into a rat, and all the girls going crazy except for Cordelia, and then when Codelia gets back with Xander and her sheep speech... Just love it.

#13: Doppelgangland (3x16): The first time I watched this episode, I felt like my mind has been blown. I just went back and watched it two more times. And then I watched it at least once or twice a day for an entire month. It was just so brilliant. It was the episode that made me realize this show was pure geniusness (is this a word? no, no it isn't). I mean, I loved the show since before this episode, but the awesomeness didn't quite hit me up until Doppelgangland. Every line is hilarious ("Yeah, that's me. Reliable-Dog-Geyser Person."), VampWillow rocks, Xander looked particularly good in this ep (which is something that I just noticed) and looking back, how can you not laugh at "That's me as a vampire? I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay

#12: The Prom (3x20): This is one of the only episodes where I actually cared about Buffy and Angel, I even cried when they broke up. And when he came back at the end with the tux... That was really beautiful. This whole episode was really beautiful with the class protector award and Xander and Anya's first date and all that. It's all just so sweet. I think my two favorite scenes in the episode are when Giles realizes Buffy and Angel broke up ("Um, I understand that this sort of thing requires ice cream of some kind?") and when Anya asks Xander to prom ("Men are evil. Will you go with me?" "One of us is very confused, and I honestly don't know which."). It's one of the episodes that just made me go "awww...".

#11: The Wish (3x09): Wow. I mean, wow. I love alternative realities. Everything was just so creepy and cool, and Xander and Willow looked really neat in their vamp outfits. I liked how dark it was. And the scene at the end where everyone kills everyone is absolutly brilliant, not to mention the fact that this episode introduced Anya who's one of my favorite chracters (as you might have noticed).

Well, that's it. I'll start the top 10 on the next blog. Toodles.

So me and my friend Aviv (he's a guy) went job hunting today. We went through the entire city and we left our nembers at a few places. The two jobs that seem most likely to pan out could actually work out together, schedule-wise, so I might take them both. The first one is handing out food samples at supermarkets, which is only, like, a few hours a week, so it can easily work out with the second job which is waiting tables at a bar\restaurant. But waiting tables could very well be my worst idea ever, 'cause a) I have the coordination abilities of a one-legged five-year-old with down syndrome. Seriuosly. I mean, running around carrying plates and drinks and trays and stuff? I can already see this ending badly. And b) I suck at multitasking so having to carry stuff, and take orders, and write things down and be nice while doing all of that at the same time has disaster written all over it. But I'll just have to see.

So anyway, we are doing all this job-finding effort for one simple goal: we're planning a trip to AMSTERDAM. Holy awesome. So we're working to have enough money by the end of November, which is when we're planning to go. We're already looking at hostels and flights and dates and stuff and we're really excited. For me it's going to be the third time visiting Amsterdam, but I never really got to "experience" it because the last two times, I was there with my parents, and all we did was go to the Anne Frank house, which, don't be fooled otherwise, is really really boring. But this time we're gonna do the whole Amsterdam thing, including bars, coffee-shops and the red light district. Hell yes.

Lately I've been finding myself 'shipping actual couples, with actual people. It's strange.

I have become addicted to Tegan and Sara.

So - a little tv stuff (spoiler-ish):

Doctor Who (4x11): Great episode. All I have to say is one word (well, one words many times) - ROSE. RoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRose. OK, I got it out. Iv'e been waiting for this fo so long. Call me a crazed fangirl. Cuz it's probably true. And oh, when I saw the trailer for next episode... I swear, I was having, like, a.. a.. a geekgasm. I can't wait, damn it!

Weeds (4x01): To tell you the truth, I was underwhelmed with this episode, though it was really great to see Mary-Louise Parker on my tv screen again. Though some parts were really really great (some bits of dialogue here and there, Celia's interrogation), it basically just felt like it was laying the groundwork for the rest of the season, which I will of course watch.

Top 20 BtVS Episodes - Part 1:

(oh, you should probably know, I'm a big season 5 fan, and a huge, big Spuffy fan. You've been warned)

#20: Blood Ties (5x13): I think this is the first episode where I realized I kinda like Dawn. The whole sequence where she finds out what she is and then cuts herself is very powerful in my opinion, and it really touched on subjects of self identity, and was interesting to watch. Plus, there's a bunch of great interactions between the characters, like when Buffy goes to beat up Spike, and his nails are still wet :lol:. Funny stuff.

#19: Intervention (5x18 ) : Honestly, I'm not completely sure why I love this episode so much. Maybe it's the Buffybot ("Hey look, it's Spike, and he's wearing a coat!" "Angel's lame. His hair goes straight up and he's bloody stupid" "Hey, you look just like me! We're very pretty"), maybe it's the Spuffy action at the end, and maybe it's the hokey-pokey stuff in the desert. And maybe it's all of that. I just love this episode.

#18: Selfless (7x05): an entire episode about Anya? How could I not love it? The whole bit at the beginning with Olaf is hilarious, and it's very interesting to finally see Anya's past and how she became who she is. Overall it's a pretty bitter and sad episode which talks about how Anya always used to define harself by what she was doing and who she was with and not by herself. The only thing that bothered me about this ep is Buffy's really quick decision to just kill Anya. That sort of came out of nowhere.

#17: Chosen (7x22): Although Anya's death is one of only two things for which I do not forgive Joss about (the other one being Cordelia's story arc in Angel s4 resulting in her death in s5), I usually just supress it and try to look at the other cool stuff in the episode. All the Spuffy scenes were totally great (and so cute!), how Buffy believed in Spike, and finally told him she loves him (don't care what Spike said after that, I think she did mean it), and Buffy's speech gave me tingles. Everything rocked it this episode, a lot of funny going around in it, and I actually cried during the Buffy/Xander/Willow/Giles scene in the high school. Really nostalgic.

#16: Dead Things (6x13): Probably one of the darkest episodes of the show, if not the darkest. I love how it dealt with buffy's need to punish herself for the way she's feeling and treating everyone else. It finally showed how the most idiotic villains on the show became, in a way, more evil than all the other bad guys, because they were human. I mean, one minute they're stupid high school boys, the next minute they become rapists and in the moment after that they commit murder. This is the ep that really turned the season into the dark season that it is. I like that. But my favorite parts were, of course, the Spuffy stuff, in the most deeply dark period of their relationship. I know many people did not like it, but I loved it. Oh, and the final scene where buffy finds out she didn't come back wrong and doesn't have an excuse for her behaviour and how she breaks down in front of Tara... Brilliant. Sarah's acting was great in this episode.

Well, sorry for the longness of this blog, but whatever.

So until next time - toodles.

OK, so I was checking my email, when I came across these photos that made me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside:

I just had to take a break from studying (this time: math. *shivers with disgust*), to tell you how much this made me go "awwww...".

So, good move with the gay marriage, California. Good move indeed.

Toodles.

Hey, I'm sorry you guys that I haven't really been here this past week, I just had a big history test that I studied for like a maniac on tuesday, and a big civics test that I studied for like a maniac today (I just came back from taking it). And I have a whole bunch of other tests in the next two-three weeks, so don't expect too much activity around here from me.

So finally, the countdown ends:

#5: Veronica Mars

Why, oh why the hell was this show cancelled? It was just too good for that (though apparantly not). It had so many amazing characters, and brilliant storylines and great relationships, and I am still very angry that it's gone. The show introduced me (and many others) to the wonderfully talented Kristen Bell and to one of the greatest 'ships ever - Veronica and Logan. R.I.P. Veronica Mars. R.I.P.

Favorite character: Veronica. She's #3 on my character countdown.

Favorite couple: LoVe (duh).

Favorite season: season 1.

Favorite episode: Hmm... Not sure. This is one of those shows that are just consistantly good.

#4 Doctor Who (2005)

What can I say about this show besides the fact that it's fantastic? It's fun and it's sad, and it's thrilling and funny and adventurous. And yes the show has been, um, less better ever since Billie Piper (Rose) left (though she's coming back next week, which is something that I can barely contain my excitement about, btw), but it's still great and wonderful and it has frickin' David Tennant in it, and I love him.

Favorite character: The Doctor (specifically #10). And again, he was on my top 10 (#9, I believe).

Favorite season: so far it's season 2, but season 4 hasn't ended yet and it's shaping up to be a great finale.

Favorite episode: Doomsday (so sad :(), with Blink coming in at a close second.

#3: Friends

This used to be my #1 show up until about 4-5 years ago. I watched each episode at least six times (no DVD's, only reruns), and although I don't enjoy it quite as much as I used to it still holds a special place in my heart. It's one of the best (and one of the only good) sitcoms to ever air, and there's a good reason why it was one of the highest-rated shows in television history. Me and my friends quote it all the time, and although I don't really like the last 4-5 seasons, I still love it.

Favorite character: Phoebe Buffay. Why? Because she's crazy and fun and has some of the best lines.

Favorite season: season 3.

Favorite episode: The One With the Football (season 3).

#2: Gilmore Girls

The first time I watched this show I was so overwhelmed with the amounts of dialogue, that I didn't understand how the actors didn't just explode or something. And it was very refreshing, to tell you the truth. All those pop-colture references, and the witty banter were too fun, and the characters were strange and quirky in a good way. And I cannot help but be charmed and fascinated by all the little touches like the various Stars Hollow events, Kirk's gazillion jobs, and the ever-so-funny town meetings. Not to mention, this show has the single greatest TV character EVER.

Favorite character: Lorelai Gilmore. #1 on My characters list.

Favorite couple: Surprisingly, it's Logan and Rory.

Favorite season: Can't decide between season 4 and 5.

Favorite episode: Hmm.. Maybe 'You Jump, I Jump, Jack'.

#1: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

ok, how could this not be my #1? I am Obsessed about this show: I watched each episode at least 10 times (some episodes over 100 times), I own all the DVD's, the soundtrack albums, the comic books, the script books, the magazines, I wrote a fanfic and I even dream about it. Yes, it's that bad (yet it feels so good). I cannot tell you how much I frickin' love it. It's genius, it's Joss at his best. The characters are amazing, fascinating and complicated and the storylines are interesting and meaningful, and it's all just wrapped up in that wonderful Whedon humor and that great writing.

Favorite character: Spike. He's #2 on my list.

Favorite couple: a tie between SpikeBuffy and XanderAnya.

Favorite season: season 5.

Favorite episode: Well, you're just going to have to find that out on my next countdown - my top 20 BtVS episdoes.

Toodles.

So I'm finally back. It was such torture not having my computer working :(. But my brother (who's really good with computers and stuff) re-formatted the hard drive, so now, not only is the computer working, it's working quite well. Not all slow-and-resterts-itself-every-other-minute-y like it used to. But my brother accidentally saved the wrong files, so now pretty much all the important stuff is gone, mainly pictures. Pictures I have no way of getting back. sigh.

TV finales! Yes!

Gossip Girl - I LOVED the finale ...until the last five minutes. I mean, what the hell was that?! Nate and Vanessa are suddenly just not-together? Why did they get together in the first place? And Dan and Serena broke up? and it's gonna be S\N D\V? Seriously?!

But the stupidest thing was that whole scene with Chuck and Bart and how Chuck didn't wanna change and ditching Blair. I thought the whole point of Chuck finally getting together with Blair was that he realized he's changing and going with it. And then that whole thing with Bart just came flying out of nowhere. :x This doesn't make me like Chuck any less, it just makes me like the writers a lot less.

you know what? I would have been happy with the finale if only Chuck and Blair would have stayed together. Thet's all that takes to make me happy ;)

How I Met Your Mother - It was a really great episode. I mean, yes, I don't really like Stella, so I don't really care what happens with her and Ted. And yes, Marshall and Lily were pretty much just extras in this episode, wich is kind of a waste, but it doesn't matter, because BARNEY LOVES ROBIN :D. That's the only thing I cared about in the episode :P. Oh, that and Robin's dog-turned-turtle story (especially the Robin-is-Canadian joke they got in there) which was so stupid and lame and rediculous that it made me laugh.

Grey's Anatomy - wow, It's been a long time since I enjoyed a GA episode this much! It was soooooo good. I think my favorite storyline was the Alex\Rebecca\Izzie thing that was sheer brilliance. I love crazyness and mental issues and emotional damage and stuff like that, and it was just beautifully done, and I felt so bad for Alex at the end. And right now I really hope he and Izzie would get back together, I really like them. Oh, and I actually cared about MerDer for a change, so that was a nice surprise. And Callie and Erica was great. I'm really liking this storyline. And for those of you who say this came out of nowhere - I have no idea what your talking about. I mean, this has been developing pretty much since Hahn walked into Seattle Grace. I just really hope they're not gonna screw it up, 'cause at the capable hands of Shonda Rhimes, this has potential to be the next Willow and Tara (as in: the next stable, loving lesbian relationship on network television).

So now I can't wait for the next fall season, when all the shows come back, wcause now I'm only left with a few Doctor Who (which ROCKED this week) episodes, and season 4 of Weeds which is starting next week (and it's going to be AWESOME).

And now, to part 3 of my list!

#10: The O.C.

So as I've said before, I'm not really into teen soaps. But The O.C. had great writing, the O.C. had great characters, The O.C. had Seth Cohen. Yes he wasn't my favorite character ont the show, but he was the most fine example that even teen soaps can step outside the box. It was all still very teen soap-y, but it just had... Hutzpa. It was funny, it was witty, it was smart, it laughed at it's own rediculousness (The Valley, anyone?), and I should have made my 100 characters list after I watched season 4, 'cause then Taylor would have totally been in my top 25.

Favorite character: Summer Roberts. Why? Read this. She's #4.

Favorite couple: Seth and Summer (so cute).

Favorite season: season 4, mostly wcause it was a lot more comedic and a lot less soapy.

Favorite episode: The End Isn't Near, It's Here (finale).

#9: Firefly

Another great Joss Whedon show. This man is a genius.

Now, to tell you the truth, when I heard about Firefly, I was abit reluctant to watch it. I mean, a space western? Not really my thing. But after I watched it, I realized that it just wasn't about that. Well, it was a little bit about that, but what it was really about was human nature, relationships, people. Just like any other Whedon show. And it's super funny.

Favorite character: River. Check this out to know why (she's #7).

Favorite episode: Out of Gas.

#8: Dexter

Wow. Thats what I have to say about this show. Wow. I mean, where to begin? I just can't explain with words how amazing this show is. The psychology, the plotlines, the characters, the writing, everything. And the acting. MCH is just incredible. And visually, the show is just brilliant. And I'm really not doing the show justice with this crappy blurb. It's just really really good.

Favorite character: Deb. I know, I know, Dexter is a complicated, interesting, conflicted character. But there's just something about Deb and the way she is that just really makes me love her. Don't know why.

Favorite couple: Dexter and Rita.

Favorite episode: The British Invasion (season 2 finale).

#7: Weeds

Funny. Funny funny funny. So rediculous, and so funny. The characters are insane yet lovable, the writing is just wonderfully politically incorrect, and Mary-Louise Parker is really really hot. That's what I have to say.

Favorite character: Nancy Botwin, because of this.

Favorite episode: Go (season 3 finale)

Favorite season: season 3.

#6: Queer as Folk

I'm gonna quote SMGslayer97 (ashley) here, because I have no better words to describe this show: "Bold, provocative, daring, different, flamboyant, eclectic, energetic, emotional, powerful, riveting, thought provoking. Need I say more?"

Favorite character: Emmett Honeycutt. Yet again (#10).

Favorite couple: Brian and Justin (duh :P).

Favorite season: Season 2.

Favorite episode: can't decide. it's all just a big mesh of good eps.

So that's it, and I'll have the end of this countdown (and the announcement of the next one) on my next blog, which I will write next week. Which means you can expect it in July.
