so after the first tidal waves of notes that the Ted Cruz Death Note fanfic post and the stormpilot verbal error pic sent by boy post, every now and then they both get some notes and I die inside a little every time

Quote of the Day:

Take a deep breath. It’s just a bad day, not a bad life. ~Unknown

The Single Woman Says:

Confession: Some days I don’t feel like being positive.

Some days I wake up on the wrong side of the bed. I have a bad hair day. My cat relieves himself in the floor and I have to stifle the urge to wring his neck. Or, like today, for example, people on Facebook get on my nerves to the point where I sit and hammer out a blog describing my “Top Five Things That Drive Me Bonkers About Facebook” in about 15 minutes, but then debate about whether or not to post it because I don’t want to sound too negative.

Sometimes I feel like as “The Single Woman,” I shouldn’t be allowed to NOT be positive. But I think even as a single woman or a non-single woman, it can be hard to give oneself permission to not be “happy happy, joy joy” all the time. Inspirationalists and self-help gurus and bloggers (including me) teach us that a positive mind leads to a positive life…that even in the face of major or minor annoyances, we should always maintain our smile…that a bad attitude leads to a bad day. And all those things are true. However, part of being a positive, healthy person is giving yourself permission to not be so “ON” all the time. I’m not suggesting you sit around and bemoan your circumstances for hours and days on end until you’ve driven yourself into a mindset of darkness and depression. I’m suggesting that if you are having an “off” day…let yourself. Don’t force positivity to the point of exhaustion. Be gentle with yourself and compassionate and loving TO yourself and let yourself off the hook a bit. You’re not superhuman. You’re not perfect. You’re not supposed to be. You’re not under any obligation to plaster a fake smile across your face to prove to the world that you’re a positive person. I’m sure even Oprah has bad days.

I don’t have any magical solution to help when you’re struggling with NOT feeling positive except to tell you to allow yourself to feel what it is you are feeling without guilt and without judgment. Sometimes the best way to move past a bad day is to acknowledge and validate your feelings, then let them go and move on! If crawling under the covers and eating cookie dough ice cream while watching Dirty Dancing for the 2,347th time is what it takes to get you back to a happy place…do it. Every once in awhile, give yourself the grace and space to NOT be positive. Because it’s always better to feel it than to fake it. And bad days don’t last forever.

Sometimes life sends us ppl who don't love us enough, to remind us of what we're worthy of.

Sometimes it's a blessing to be ignored by the people who don't cherish your feelings.

Pick your 5 favorite TV series before reading the questions.

1. 90210

2. The O.C.

3. Smallville

4. Life Unexpected

5. Supernatural

1. Who is your favorite character in 2?

Seth Cohen.

2. Who is your least favorite character in 1?

Vanessa. Now that she’s brought her bitchass back.

3. What’s your favourite episode of 4?

Oooh, I can’t choose, they’re all good.

4. What is your favourite season of 5?

Season 1.

5. What’s your favourite relationship in 3?

Chloe and Oliver.

6. Who is your anti-relationship in 2?

Ryan and Marissa. Good thing she’s dead now.

7. How long have you watched 1?

Since the middle of the first season. <3

8. How did you become interested in 3?

It came on late one night and my sister and I started staying up to watch it.

9. Who is your favourite actor in 4?

Kristoffer Polaha!

10. Which show’s world would you want to live in most? 

It would either be The O.C. or 90210… Probably 90210.

11. Which show have you seen more episodes of 1 or 3?

3, because it’s had ten seasons, and 1 has only had four.

12. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?

I’d be Lux, and I’d totally date Sam (Landon Liboiron) haha

13. How would you kill off any character in 5?

I haven’t kept up with Supernatural, but they kill off so many people, I trust the writers could do that job for me.

14. Would a 3/4 crossover work? 

Smallville and Life Unexpected? ….hmm….that would be SOOOO interesting.

Lux could get kidnapped by some evil powered people, Cate and Baze would be worried and end up back together, Clark teams with Chloe again to save Lux, and BAM! Episode done!

15. Pair two characters in 1 that would make an unlikely, but strangely okay couple.

This is difficult because everyone has pretty much dated everyone else in the group, but I think Austin and Annie could work out. They both aren’t perfect, but they both have the brains. Plus, somehow it’d be better than Annie and Navid.

16. Overall, which show has the better cast, 2 or 5?

The O.C. has a great cast. They chose the perfect people for the roles, and you pretty much love everyone.

17. Which has the better theme music, 1 or 4?

Both definitely have a great theme song. But I’d choose 90210’s first season’s theme. Nice and poppy.
