Ok so I'm totally bored and I've just finished updating my iPOD with a bunch of new songs, so now I'm struggling to find something else to keep me occupied. So here I am. Plus, I've kind of been contemplating Gossip Girl lately....

OK so I love Gossip Girl and all, and I continue to love it to a degree, but the writing has been disappointing me lately! Like.... A LOT! I'm usually all for just sitting back and seeing where it leads but I'm getting frustrated! It seems like everything they're doing lately (and everything they're going to be doing if you read spoilers) reverts back to ratings. They're going for the shock value and aren't focusing on making the plotlines GOOD.

{SPOILER ALERTS AHEAD FROM THE LATEST EPISODE.}

Problem #1: In the lastest episode they broke up Dan and Serena....AGAIN! Like seriously?! Why even put them back together again if you're just going to end it 3 episodes later? Its fickle writing and it just pisses the viewers off. Me especially because I actually like DS when Dan isn't screwing it up constantly. Which is basically all the time...but I like them in season 1. Though that last scene with him and the teacher was hot. I'll admit that.

What SHOULD happen: Who wants to see B!tchy Serena make a comeback? Because I TOTALLY do! I would love for Serena to find out about Rachel and Dan's affair and take him....and her I guess..DOWN! It would make for good TV for her to sabatoge them without their knowledge....really good TV.

Problem #2: Nate and Vanessa are secondary characters at this point. I love them together obviously, and their cuteness is.....cute. lol. But that's all we ever see of them! They're kissing or smiling together, holding hands, blah blah blah. Its adorable. Don't get me wrong...but it gets old fast!

What SHOULD happen: I want to see them BOTH have individual plotlines. Especially Vanessa. We NEVER see her alone or having problems and how she deals with them. The closest we ever got to some Nate/Vanessa epicness or a solo Vanessa plot is when Lady Catherine was still in the picture and I would like to see them give her something! Hell, throw Eric a bone too why don't you? He provides great comic relief.

Problem #3: No CHUCK AND BLAIR! I'm all for them taking a break because we don't want them to get too overexposed and then get stale and boring, but they need to have SOME interaction! I look, a two minute conversation...anything will do.

What SHOULD happen: Two episodes should be the maximum amount of time CB should not interact. Anymore than that, and I get antsy. This nanny plotline I can deal with for a time, but its a bit...out there. Even by Gossip Girl standards. But it was hot, so I'll buy it for now. Just don't try to make Chuck fall in love with this chick because then I will be unhappy.

***SPOILER***

Problem #4: They're making Blair too immature. I'm all for B!tchy Blair, but the way they're going about it doesn't even make sense! She went after Rachel again simply for giving her detention?! She's going to risk Yale again when she could have just let it die and moved on? Yeah it sucks to swallow your pride and eat sh!t with a smile, but that's life. And I'd like to think Blair was more clever than that.

What they SHOULD have done: Its a bit too late for this, but they should have had it NOT be Blair who leaked the story to Gossip Girl. They should have just blamed her wrongly because at least then it would have been more of an interesting plot! And the audience would be completely on her side. Wouldn't it have been awesome if Nelly Yuki tried to frame Blair to grab her spot at Yale? Now THAT would have been awesome. But alas, they didn't go there. :/

So that's my take. The writers need to stop flip flopping and just focus on some great storylines instead of predictable repeative stuff.

Plussss.......

Ok so maybe I AM totally procrastinating on my art final, but I was just on ONTD and I just kind of wanted to write about the fact that on a Jessica Szohr post, there were people totally bashing her. Saying she was ugly, and that she's an "annoying attention whore" and that they hate her, and all this stuff...

UM WHAT?!

Maybe its because I hate when people hate on people when they essentially know nothing about them, but I like- could NOT get over some of the comments I was reading! Jessica (no offense to her or anything) isn't even really all that famous! Its not like she's on a ton of shows like Blake Lively or anything, so I'm baffled as to how she can have haters. I was literally fighting with people over this! lol

Personally, I think she's gorgeous. Not to mention that she seems totally sweet in real life, so the fact the people dislike her can only be pinpointed to two reasons:

1.) They are those girls who are jealous of people prettier than themselves or

2.) They're moronic fans of Gossip Girl that can' distinguish character from actor (one of my official pet peeves). So for them, hating Vanessa = hating Jessica.

To say she is ugly is like trying to convince yourself the sky is actually green. Is so incredibly and obviously FALSE that you look like a dumb@ss for even suggesting it.

I don't know where my sudden love for her came from that I now feel the need to defend her to other people, but its there. lol And I'm fine with it.

HATERS TO THE LEFT!

God I really have got to get back to work!

Seeing as its so close to Halloween (and that I'm proscastinating writing my midterm paper), I've been watching a lot of horror movies that have been on TV. Then I started to try and think up what my favorites (thus far) were. I'm not really into the GORE type of horror movies where the main objective is to make you sick with the elaborate death scenes they think up. I'm a fan of the psychological type horror movies that mess with your mind and freak you out, despite the fact that you KNOW you're just letting your imaginiation run away with you. OR I really like the kitchy, bad horror movies that you watch just for fun.

But anyways, here are what are my top 5 picks:

5.) Drive Thru

Ok, yes. Its crappy. BUT I LOVE THIS MOVIE! What's great about this movie is that its supposed to be crappy. It kind of makes fun of every great slasher/horror movie. Nightmare on Elm Street, IT, Carrie... and its got some great comic relief. There's even a drinking game for it! So yeah, definitely one of those kitchy ones that some people hate, but I personally love. I'm so glad I watched in OnDemand!

4.) When A Stranger Calls (1979)

As someone who does babysit on occasion, this movie creeped me out BIG time. Actually, correction..the beginning and end creeped me out big time. A lot of people have probably seen the remake, and the one thing I did like about that movie was that they focused entirely on Jill (the babysitter), the original actually focused on the killer. But yeah, being alone in a house after that....no thanks. The killer may LOOK scarier in the remake, but the original guy's voice? SO SCARY!

3.) The Ring

Most people I know have seen this movie at least once. When it first came out, all my friends said it wasn't that scary. My mom bought it and we watched it together...um ARE YOU JOKING? This movie was incredibly chilling! I slept with my TV on at the time, and after seeing this movie, all I could think about was some wet, long-haired demon child climbing out and killing me while I slept. However, I didn't want to sleep alone in a dark room either!

2.) Night of the Living Dead

Now, I'm not usually one for zombie movies, but just the cinematography in this movie makes it scary. It was made in the early 60s, so its all in black and white. With the zombies hobbling over to people onscreen and the lighting and everything... scary enough for me. I've only seen it maybe twice because I can't handle it.

1.) Scream

This movie came out when I was 10, and it didn't scare me at first because I watched it during the day. However, come bedtime all I could hear in my head was the killer's voice. Plus, you KNOW there are people out in the world who are sick enough to do something like that! Plus, it was pretty imaginative for the time when cell phones first started coming into the scene...

But yeah, those are my personal faves...

A slasher movie every now and then is cool too though...
