Recently, I've found myself re-discovering old passions and interests.

Take TV.com for instance. I haven't been on this site for over a year and a half. I'd forgotten how much time I used to spend here, and how involved and passionate I got. My internet access varried alot due to changes in living arrangements, and I got involved in other things. Unlike when I live on campus at uni and I would spend time on here to entertain myself... and avoid uni work. Today I jumped on the internet to look up information on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (my housemate has recently become addicted... but that's another story), and re-found TV.com. I've now spent the last 2 or so hours looking around and adding information/episodes/quotes etc to shows and people I used to edit all the time.

Another re-discovery has been Dawson's Creek, and in particular Joshua Jackson. I'd forgotten how cute he was! Still is, for that matter. A couple of weeks ago I was watching Scream 2 with my brother and cousin, and they commented that the movie was written (or directed or something) by the same guy who created Dawson's Creek. That comment, combined with the fact that Joshua Jackson is in Scream 2 left me with this great desire to watch Dawson's Creek again. So I've been watching it ever since and am now up to season 5. I admit it is not the greatest show in the world, but it is fun and rips off itself all the time - plenty of sly comments about teenage TV shows and teenage movies etc.

Back to Joshua Jackson. He was my first (and only) real 'high-school-girl-crush-on-famous-guy'. The one guy that I would cut out pictures of, and stick them to my walls - my one delve into the world of mad girly-girls. He is so cute! And Pacey (the character on DC) is very sweet and breaks my heart all the time (cause I want to give him a hug and tell him it will all be okay). I loved JJ in the Mighty Ducks movies and in DC.... he was never really in anything else.

It's always fun re-discovering things. It allows you to revisit simpler times, and to escape the mad "Adult World" I now live in. It's comforting, and no where near as stressful as discovering something new.... although I'm all for that too. But these things were things I was passionate about, and I seem to have lost that passion recently - I can't think of anything I'm passionate about.

Maybe I'll re-discover my passion for TV.com... or maybe this will be the last you hear of me for another two years.

I'm back.  I'm sure you're all thrilled to know that.

I'm about to start uni holidays (once I get my reports written) and that lasts until February.  And then, my next uni prac is in my home town.  Which basically means I'm at home until August of next year (2007). 

So, the point of this discussion/ blog/ rave is that I'm going to have lots and lots of time again to spend mucking around on this site.  I have finally managed to catch up Spicks and Specks (well, all the episodes are on there now!) and am planning on updating everything else very soon.

So be prepared.... my rants and raves are set to return!  I'm sure you've all missed them greatly.

I've been a little out of it lately, and the tv show I edit has gotten rather behind (August 2nd was the last one, but I haven't added other info for a lot of them).  I just haven't had the time to spare to sit on the net and edit and add.  I've been rather busy with work and uni and doing placements.... and basically having a life.  One day I will get the chance to sit down and rewatch episodes and update this thing... but I can't see it happening for at least another week, if not more.

I've been feeling a little guilty about it.  I've such a respect for, and love of, the shows and people I edit, and I'd like to keep them up-to-date.  But when there's only one of me doing it most of the time, it takes awhile.  Oh well.  In the end there is nothing I can do about it.  My access to the internet is limited, and so is my spare time.  And, quite frankly, I'd rather watch the show than worry about adding information to this site!

So if anyone was wondering what had happened to me (which I'm sure is the centre of everyone's concerns), I'm just a little busy and a little out of it.

Oh for the quiet life!

Jon English is one of the best actors and musicians around. My introduction to Jon was Pirates of Pinzance, where he played The Pirate King. He was brilliant, funny, clever, and was able to give the character such a dumb sweetness that you had...

Stingers was my all time favourite show when I was younger (and it was still on, and still good). And all because of Oscar. I was forever cheering for him and Angie to get together, and they never really did - one of my biggest diappointments....

I love Adam Hills. I find his comedy great, he has an interesting take on the world and himself, he's Australian, and he's pretty damn cute too. Another thing I really love about Adam is that he doesn't find the need to say f*** 10 times in one...

johnflynn must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could johnflynn possibly have for not rating a single film?
