Okay, Kristy Swanson hates me, but to be fair, that movie totally creeped me out, and I couldn’t look my brother in the eye for a month.
P.S. Kristy, I totally cheered for you and Lloyd Eisler on Skating with Celebrities.
*This Post Contains Glee Spoilers*
First, I’d like to share with you my real life end of Glee face…
Now, let’s discuss in fragmented sentences because REALLY.
1. I want to stop rolling my eyes over the Finn and Rachel wedding crap, but I embarrassingly can’t, because I was that tool in high school who was all, let’s get married now, who cares that I’ve never had a job before or know what taxes are, we’ll figure it out together because we have each other and it totally worked out for Corey and Topanga!
2. Jeff Goldblum, STOP MAKING ME LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
3. David Karofsky. Ok, so much. First, I could not be more pleased with the handling of his character. And last night…last night was the most real and honest and gut wrenching episode I had ever seen, and I am so, so glad they chose to air it. They didn’t make it cheesy or trite, they made it honest, and as anyone who has ever lived after experiencing a suicide in their life, you just… you just know that they way they handled it was perfection.
And then if that sob fest wasn’t enough, when Kurt went to go visit him in his room, and they spoke about envisioning his future, well yeah, I cried so hard I started my period.
So, I know some people might not love what happened last night, but I did, and I am totally ok with being the only one.
4. Which leads me to Quinn, a character who I have grown to loath. Her reaction to Karofsky’s suicide was disgusting, and I am so glad Kurt called her on it. (Side note: ok fine, the bible guy is growing on me) I can’t even keep up with the ways I am annoyed with her.
5. I was so so soooooo disappointed that they ended the show the way they did. Sure, I was shocked (see face above), and it was a huge cliffhanger. But, after a few minutes passed, and I started thinking about it, I was pissed. Because now THAT is what people are going to be talking about. Is texting while driving a HUGE deal? YES. Does it deserve a show? YES. But, you don’t have to cram every single PSA into one episode, because it distracts from the other VERY VERY important messages you tackled not 30 minutes earlier.
Now it’s the show where Quinn might get maimed while texting about a bridesmaid dress…not the show that covered how real and hard it is for gay teens in highschool, the horrific consequences of bullying, and the heartbreaking reality of suicide.
In seven days I leave for a very long road trip with the family. We rented a van with two tv’s, and my mom just discovered she can read books on her cellular smart phone, so that will leave me completely unbothered, and free to stare out the window and try to find people who look like they’re getting road head, paint my toenails on the dashboard, and listen to whatever music I want.
(Andy doesn’t let me drive because, while I prefer cars to airplanes, I am afraid of roads when there are other people on them, and have been known to drive off them crying when trucks come to close. I’m considering hypnosis, which I assume will be a less deadly option than drinking.)
But, now that I have all this freedom, I’m stumped trying to put together a playlist to get me through the next 1500 miles.
Which is, ahem, where you come in.
Share you top 5 favorites, and I will share my mega-rad playlist with you on Spotify, plus, I’ll pick one of you to win a $100 Visa Gift card to buy a year’s worth or Spotify with, or liquor, honestly, I don’t care what you use it for, it’s your money.
All you have to do is leave me a comment with 5 of your favorite songs. Have more than 5? No problem, you can enter as much as you want.
I’ll close this contest tonight (February 16th) at 11:59pm EST, then I will randomly draw one (1) winner, and mail the prize upon email confirmation.
