The prompt for today is to talk about my favorite television show. I don't really watch TV, but the shows that I do watch are awesome. My most favorite show is Breaking Bad. "Whaaat? Not True Blood?!" no, but it's an incredibly close second. Eric Northman makes the show for me, since the books are so much better than the tv series. Anyway, we're not here to talk about vampires. We're here to talk about crystal meth.
The premise of Breaking Bad is a simple and common occurance in America. What do you do when you're diagnosed with cancer? Walt, a chemistry teacher who works two jobs to support his family and is an average enough guy, is diagnosed with lung cancer having never smoked a single cigarette in his entire life. The token "this isn't fair, what do I do?" reaction, Walt realizes that he needs to come up with a way to make a lot of money for his family before he dies. He has no idea how long he will survive, so he's looking for a get rich quick type deal. Walt's brother in law, Hank, is a DEA agent. Walt goes on a ride along and sees one of his former students escaping the meth lab that the DEA is busting that day. Walt goes inside and sees what is being made and how (using mason jars and all kinds of non-chemistry set instruments) and realizes this is what he can do. Walt confronts Jesse, the student that escaped the meth lab, and offers to not go to the DEA if Jesse teaches him how to make meth. Walt was a chemist before he went into teaching, and he is smarter than the average bear, which is why the meth he makes is almost 100% pure. So, Walt has his manufacturer name of Hisenberg. There's a mix of family drama as well, since Walt doesn't tell his family he's now making meth in an RV in the middle of the desert. There are three seasons, and every episode of every season has been interesting. All of the characters are well developed and remain in character throughout the series so far. Jesse is a messed up little cretin with family issues and a drug problem in the beginning, but by the end of the 3rd season you can tell he's a good person deep down.
If you are looking for a show that is interesting, funny, sad, dramatic and suspenseful this is the show for you :)

A post about someone I love
Dear person who changed my life,
You were sitting outside calculus, your bag on your lap and looking distinctly uncomfortable. I walked up and sat on the ground opposite you, taking my ipod earbuds out of my ears and trying to sneakily glance at you. I really liked your bag and wanted to tell you so. I figured that would be weird, so instead I opted for "Is this Math 114?", hoping that this was the right room and I wasn't going to have to dig my map of campus up out of my giant backpack. You nodded and said yes. I figured you were just as shy as I was. When I moved to UConn I decided that I was going to be more outgoing and make friends with people I wouldn't normally be friends with. You looked like someone I would be friends with, but you weren't the kind of super strange person I was normally attracted to. We finally go into the classroom, along with a few other people we will later be good friends with. I looked around the entire lecture hall and could have sat anywhere and isolated myself. But instead I screwed up my courage, walked over to you and asked if I could sit next to you. I was afraid you would reject me for the same reason you were confused as to why I was talking to you. You seemed way cooler than me, just like you thought I was cooler than you. From then on, we became best friends. I don't even know how it happened, actually, since it started out as acquaintances from class and then we were constantly hanging out with one another. We found out that we had so much in common with one another, as well as things that each other liked that we found interesting that we were never short of conversation material. You proved to me second semester that you were a keeper when you came to my room at 3am on a school night to comfort me while I cried. I'm so glad I asked to sit next to you.
Obviously, Jess, you have changed my life. Your friendship means a lot to me. I would not be nearly as awesome as I am without you. You were my roommate for two whole years and we didn't drive each other crazy. I can think of two instances when we have been upset with one another. My entire college experience would have been very different without you. You've helped me with all kinds of drama and continued to be my best friend even though sometimes I've wondered why you deal with my craziness. But not only do we take care of each other and our dramas, we have a lot of fun together. A lot of my fondest memories of college involve you, and I expect that we will remain best buddies forever. I know for certain that if you and I were not friends, I would not be the relatively confident but still quirky person that I am today. 4.5 years of friendship have been a gift and I'm super happy that we'll just keep on being friends through all the bullshit :)
Love,

Lara is super cool (sorry Lara)
Today (although technically it was yesterday, since it's january 7th instead of 6th. but I'm still awake so I'm calling the shots here) is day 19 of 50. the prompt is "whatever tickles your fancy" well right now what tickles my fancy is my fabulous little sister (read: younger sister, since she is only a year younger than me) and the fact that today is her birthday (again, today is january 6th).
Lara is a fabulous person who is going to school for psychology in the hopes of helping people one day. I'm not sure if that means social work or private practice or what, but she will do well with whatever she decides. Lara, unlike most human beings, will tell you what she thinks without a) sugar coating it b) taking all your feelings into account so as to soften the blow c) lying. Unlike most human beings, Lara is honest with you. When I am in a social conundrum that I am not sure how to deal with, Lara is always there with the most practical as well as sensible advice. Not only that, but she will let you know when what you think you should do is a stupid idea. Clearly, Lara has helped me with a lot of conundrums. Maintaining a logical approach to things in the face of the chaos of emotions is difficult, but Lara manages to do so without being a party pooper. I'm pretty sure I'd have made some social faux-pas in my time as an adult without Lara to help me out in my decision making. She is, by far, the most selfless and sweet person I know. I'm sure if she reads this she will be embarrassed as well as angry that I posted about her on my blog on the internet, but that's just too bad. the world needs to know how awesome she is. Sure, we can have our disagreements (and they are totally irrational most of the time) but I know, even in the moments when I am quite upset with her, that she is a fabulous wonderful person who I will always be able to rely on for good and sensible advice. Whether I choose to use this advice to my advantage is another story (most of the time I do). But besides her sensible rationality, Lara is super fun. It was her 21st birthday tonight, and my sisters Dina and Amanda as well as my brother in law Michael and our cousin Leslie took her to the bar and she made the best of a new situation. She'd never been to a bar, and we chose to take her to John's in mystic. Instead of complaining about how boring it was (it's a thursday so not much is going on except the regulars being there) she just soldiered on and had a great time.
I think Michael is right, Lara's a saint. That girl gives up her spring break where she could be kicking back and relaxing before the craziness of the end of the year and goes to work for habitat for humanity in south carolina. She's stayed in a church with creepy bathrooms and an even creepier mannequin and made the best of a very interesting situation. I am gushing about my little sister because I am proud of her and because I love her. It takes a lot to give up a week of fun to go and build a house for someone to live in. Not only that, but to put oneself in a foreign culture so as to help them (and from what she's told me it is very much like a foreign place there). Anyway, I love my sister. She's awesome, funny and fabulous. So I'm going to end this post with that. Day 19 was about my fabulous little sister. Tomorrow's post will be a letter to someone who changed my life. I guess it's good I'll have all day to figure that one out :)

New Years Schnew Years
Today's prompt is to set/share a goal. Since new years was last weekend, I think this is a good time to discuss New Years Resolutions. I have three. I know that within a week I will have forgotten them or given up. resolution one is to be nicer and more sincere with people: this is a result of reading so many books in which the phrase "they said sincerely" was used. I don't know if I ever speak sincerely. I must, since I feel my feelings when I feel them and share those feelings as words coming out of my mouth. Is that sincerity? I think it is, but sometimes I feel like maybe I'm not nice or honest enough all the time. I can be mean in my head, and maybe that's what I'm actually trying to work on. The second resolution is trite and will definitely be abandoned around valentines day when I will be eating copious amounts of chocolate and reading Jane Austen novels (Oh Colonel Brandon, when will you show up on my doorstep?). Anyway, this second resolution is to be healthier; this does not mean I want to be thin. I would like to be able to run without gasping within the first 100 feet, and I would like to have toned appendages. I like cheeseburgers (and everything else) too much to give up eating them regularly in exchange for a smaller waistline. But i also want to drink more water and eat more dairy products, since I thought that was lame as a teenager and still don't enjoy drinking water unless it is bubbly and/or flavored. I don't think these desires are unobtainable, but the motivation and commitment to self improvement is what makes it daunting. As you can see, I can't even update a blog reliably, how am I going to keep up with whatever routine I set for myself? I guess I'll just wing it and be happily surprised if I succeed. My third resolution is to read varying things instead of just vampire fantasy, harry potter and jane austen. I have 18 books that are waiting to be read, and I'm proud to say only one of them is a Jane Austen novel, one of them is a vampire novel and the others cover varying subjects. I want to re-read some of the books that I really liked from varying classes from UConn as well. Generally, I want to continue to expand my knowledge of things while also fine-tuning my history knowledge (I feel like I've lost a lot of stuff already).
SO that all being said, I think New Years Resolutions are stupid because I would have done all three of the things previously mentioned, whether it was the new year or not. It's all about circumstances and inclination rather than "oh but it's the new year! i must change!" what if you're perfectly happy the way you are and can't think of something to change? Does that makes you arrogant or superior? I think it makes you realistic. I know that there aren't any huge things about myself that I really want to or could change. I think to bring change about in a person, it requires significant events and a lot of changing circumstances to cause that person to adapt and thus change. Trying to remember to write 2011 on your checks is not a significant enough event to cause you to adapt in a natural way into a better person according to goals that you set for yourself. YOU control who you are and how you interact with people or what you put in your body, etc. Anyway, it just seems silly to put so much significance on something that happens EVERY YEAR. If it was a new decade, that would make m- ohhey, it is a new decade. We're in the teens now. well crap, I guess I could just make these goals for a decade and see what I get ;)

Apparently if I'm going to obsess over you, you need to be british and look good in a frock coat
So that whole being reliable and posting daily thing didn't last long, did it? But, I have a perfect reason for why I did not post yesterday. I was playing harvest moon from 11am until 9pm. I did stop to eat and go to zumba. But yeah, I was farming and petting random wild animals and mining ore (or nothing) and cooking and fishing and all manner of normal every day tasks. I think the post I was supposed to write yesterday was a post about my five celebrity crushes, mostly just pictures of them. So I guess I'll share those before sharing a picture that makes me sad (which is the prompt for today). Are you prepared for an image-heavy gush fest? Yes? Okay then.
So, Celebrity Number One is....Alan Rickman (when he was a youngin')
One of the many reasons I would jump this man's bones is he is always wearing frock coats in his movies. Something about the modesty imposed by all those buttons is very sexy. Or maybe it's just me. His voice is what's most important, though. Let's just say if I was on one of those tv dating shows and all I got to hear was his voice, that'd be more than enough for me to make a decision. For those of you who remember my letter to my crush, I have an unhealthy obsession with Severus Snape. Alan Rickman plays Severus Snape (in case you didn't know. which I'm sure you did). Soooo yeah. This isn't incredibly creepy and pathetic.
Celebrity Crush Number Two is... Tom Felton
Now, I like him mostly because he plays my second favorite male Harry Potter character, Draco Malfoy. But check out the hotness going on in this picture! he doesn't look anything like Draco Malfoy in this picture, and I still find it attractive. So, I guess that means I like Tom Felton not dressed as a wizard. He's my age, which is a plus as well. I wish I had good reasons for having crushes on him and Alan Rickman but it all stems from my unhealthy love for the world of Harry Potter. So that's fun.
This next Celebrity Crush has nothing to do with Harry Potter...but everything to do with Jane Austen. This man is Rupert Friend.
I was watching The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (a very good and sad movie) and I recognized this fine gentlemen as one of the SS men. I said "hey, that's Lieutenant Wickham!" (which is who he plays in Pride and Prejudice). IMDB is a magical thing, because it told me I was right. The image above is from another movie, which I need to see (i think this is the one where he's Prince Albert). Anyway, this man has very nice bone structure and can pull off that awesome 'do. Mmm, delicious <3
The fourth celebrity crush is...David Bowie!
Dark and broody and musical and he makes having an unlit cigarette hanging from your mouth look sexy instead of trashy. I think part of my problem with loving David Bowie is because I was first introduced to him as Jareth in Labyrinth. And like all crazy people, I linked Jareth and Sarah's weird and forbidden sexual tension to the totally imagined weird and forbidden sexual tension I pretend is between Hermione and Severus (but Hermione is nothing like Sarah because she doesn't whine and Severus would NEVER be seen in tights and feathers). Yes, so, David Bowie looks fine in a pair of tights as well as creates damn good music. If you don't listen to David Bowie's music, you should. Right now.
The final contestant on Megan's unhealthy obsession is Elliot Cowan who (surprise surprise) plays Mr. Darcy on a BBC show named "Lost in Austen".
mmmm, the men in Georgian England would probably not have been this buff, but I'm willing to overlook that fact. The four-part miniseries that this image is from is worth checking out if you can find it. For people who enjoy Austen's Pride and Prejudice, this is a fabulous new approach to it. Unlike the other BBC Austen series, this one fucks the plot up from the get-go by creating a door between the main character's bathroom to a door that "is without sense" in the Bennett household. So Amanda (modern day lady) switches places with Elizabeth Bennett. Hilarity ensues. I imagine I would act very much like Amanda does when confronted with all the characters of one of her favorite novels. except i would be at hogwarts and i would have no qualms about molesting severus snape. But back to what I meant to say about Elliot Cowan, he pulls the Darcy demeanor off very well, and from the other pictures I've seen of him, he's quite the handsome devil.
Having posted all these images and explained why I like these five beautiful men, I've come to the conclusion that I love British men, especially ones who are wizards or in Jane Austen movies. But worry not male readers who do not fall into any of those categories, I understand that all five of these men are unobtainable and thus do not reflect my actual dating standards. But super bonus points if you like Harry Potter and/or Jane Austen (even if it's just the ones with the monsters). Did I just pimp my own self out on my blog? I think I did. After reading all of my gushing about these men, any sharp reader would get that I am completely insane when it comes to certain fandoms. Harry Potter, Labyrinth and Jane Austen (Northanger Abbey, Pride and Prejudice, and Sense and Sensibility being my favorites) play a huge role in my life. Too bad all of that is FICTIONAL. I guess it's better than developing a crush on a long dead historical figure (Benjamin Franklin).
With that fun insight into who I am, I will now share with you pictures of things that make me sad. Please don't cry, okay?
This makes me sad AND infuriated. Why would an adult woman think twilight was an acceptable piece of fiction with totally healthy and even *swoon* romantic relationships in it? Also, that bitch with the super tan legs is wearing a dress with converse to look like Bella when she went to the prom, except Bella was 17 and this woman is at least 35. GET A LIFE, LADIES. READ REAL ROMANCE NOVELS WITH ACTUAL SEX IN THEM IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO READ. GAWD.
This image doesn't make me sad. ASPCA commercials make me sad. I want to adopt every animal on the TV when I see these commercials. I would be in big trouble if I did that, since there is a strict "no pets except fish" policy in my house. that, and I could not take care of that many critters and they would not all fit in my bed and i would not have the heart to not snuggle with them (i had the same problem with my stuffed animals as a child and had a rotating schedule for them so they all got equal snuggles).
I think that those two images sum up some of the things that make me sad. I don't want to get all political and post things like ignorant protesters shouting at teenage girls outside abortion clinics and the westboro baptist church and their incredibly offensive signs. So I'll mention them instead, so you know I'm a radical pro-choice pro-gays feminist. Hooray!
I committed a cardinal internet sin and direct linked most of my images. If they're gone, let me know and I'll do the right thing and actually save it and re-upload it to my blog.

Too far away from the city, they never breathe clean air.
Hello blog readers! I have 6 minutes to crank out the prompt for day 15. Oh wait, make that 0. Honestly, there are numerous people I would like to meet. My friend Ray, who's starting this project as well, is one of those people (because he is super cool and awesome).
But I also have a slew of people from history I would like to meet, if only to chat with them about their daily routine or interview them about all the important crap they did. These people would be people living in post-war [WWI] europe and all kinds of cult of personality figures such as Benjamin Franklin, Otto Von Bismark, and Emma Goldman. I want to meet these people because I am a humongous nerd with a hard-on for modern European history.
I'd also really like to meet fictional characters. Hermione Granger, Sunako from my favorite manga The Wallflower, all the characters from The Magician, Edward and Bella (so i can stab them), Lestat and Armand, Eric Northman and Sookie Stackhouse and Claudine, and Elizabeth Bennett.
So yeah. There's a lot of people I would like to meet for a variety of reasons. Sorry if this is a cop-out, but i like lists better than letters :)
Til Tomorrow, for pictures of celebrities I have crushes on (bet you can guess who those will be of)

But I also have a slew of people from history I would like to meet, if only to chat with them about their daily routine or interview them about all the important crap they did.
