"As the hostage situation in Paris unfolds, the correspondents on CNN keep using the word okay. Are the hostages okay, how many are okay, et cetera. Okay means “alive,” of course. It’s a strange euphemism."

Remembering Jack

I might say I lost Jack, and lead you to believe that I somehow misplaced him, like I do my car keys. The fact is, Jack died, and lost is a euphemism, a soft, proxy word for death, to cushion the pain of its reality. I don’t like euphemisms. They detach my grief, and so, where I could say I Lost Jack, I prefer to say Jack died. He was important to me and when I write about him now, I want to feel…

D'ya ever notice...

...that when someone's telling a story about a time they were really drunk, they'll say something like "I was piss drunk" or "I was completely shitfaced." Look, all I'm saying is that if we keep associating drunkenness with pee and poo, I might just quit drinking altogether.

Questions for me:

Did you have a favorite show that you gave up watching? Why did you give it up? Ugh I've had so many. I've given up on The Vampire Diaries (although I did watch the Stefan episode because I couldn't believe it). I stopped watching Twisted, Switched At Birth, Secret Life Of The American Teenager, Degrassi, and Glee. Why, I couldn't take the storyline, I hated what was happening to my favourite characters, the show started feeling repetitive, and well my ships just couldn't make cannon. 

What do you want most right at this very second? I wish I could just wake up and have my entire life sorted. By that I mean, school, work, actually having a career, a boyfriend. (The mundane things)

What end of the world scenario would you prefer: alien invasion, zombie apocalypse, demon/hell apocalypse, natural disasters (like the whole 2012 thing) or an uprising of super advanced apes who enslave the human race? Ou demon/hell apocalypse. I'm hoping they look like the ones on SPN and not red men with horns. 

What is your favorite or most frequently used word/saying? There's a few: -Whatever -That's so dumb -Like -Dear God, please give me the strength to go on, (Literally I use this when something is just "so dumb") -Shut your face -Fu*k

Who do you consider to be your idea of the perfect human? Perfect human, hmm this is a toughy but I'd have to go with Nathan Scott from OTH. I've loved Nathan since the pilot and I think out of all the shows I've seen OTH has the best character development. Nathan went from being a spoiled rich kid, to a caring teenager, to husband, to father, to brother, to down to earth guy. He learned compassion. I've always loved him.

Your Questions: 1) Which among your OTPs do you consider to be your ideal relationship? 2) If you could change one thing about your life would you, and why? 3)If you could rewrite one show, which would it be and how would you improve it? 4) What was the most tragic moment of television? (Could be any show(s))? 5)What is your favourite movie/song and what does it mean to you?
