So, I thought maybe I should actually update my journal since I pay for it and stuff.  But whatever.  I would just like all of you to know that while I haven't updated my own journal, I have been keeping up with my flist.  So, feel special for being stalk worthy. 

Really, the only interesting thing I can think to post is this: In January I discovered that I'm afraid of submarines, and really, all manner of submerged things that don't belong there.  I went snorkeling and kinda panicked at Disney's fake, intentionally sunk submarine...in about 5 feet of water.  Now, whenever I see one, even on TV, I get chills and feel kinda queasy.  I'm not quite sure what that says about my psyche or about my desire to learn to scuba dive.  I'm thinking it's not good.

I've also been watching a lot of General Hospital lately.  But, old stuff, from at least 7 years ago.  All revolving around a 'ship that never really was (despite the impression my userpic may give).  Anybody else have a strange attachment (addiction?) to shows/books/movies that didn't live up to your expectations but you can't quite let go of?  Like you get all excited and hopeful and it feels like no time has passed and then...you realize that what you want is never going to happen and you're disappointed and angry all over again?  God, I HATE THAT. 

In other news, YAY! for Hillary.  Because seriously, I don't know if I can vote for that egotistical, condescending ass running on a campaign for "change".  Sure, if by "change" you mean pretending to have an answer for everything while actually having answer for nothing and not listening to anyone who might have an educated opinion.  Because, you know, WE HAVEN'T HAD ONE OF THOSE BEFORE.

Hehehe...2 days until Lost!  Mmmm....Jack.

I just happened upon Days of Our Lives today, and after catching it a few times previously and seeing all the fabulously soapy Brady v. DiMera stuffs, I believe I am officially re-addicted.  John and Marlena were my first real 'ship, and get this, they are actually married, in love, and going on an adventure...wait for it...together.  I think that's probably breaking some kind of soap opera law, but I'm lovin' it.  Not to mention they have actual villians in Salem--instead of just jerks who whine about all the bullshit reasons they act like spineless bastards.  

And the absolute, hands-down reason I have to watch: ANNA!  Dude, I will love Leann Hunley until the day I die for the 9 fabulous weeks she was Tamara Jacobs and the three glorious minutes in which Emily Gilmore, her pedigree unsullied, called her a whore.

Bring on some dastardly DiMeras and some super-slutty J&M, 'cuz really, that's what this show is all about.  Unlike stupid General Hospital with its too much focus on losers I don't care enough about to tell apart, Sonny's nailing *every* woman except the one he should, and Alexis's sudden bad boy/psychopath complex that came out of *nowhere* and that they now have to have three women filling the place realAlexis used to solely occupy to perfection.  So, while I will probably never completely overcome my GH/Alexis addiction (because it definitely would've happened by now), I think she may have to be relegated to fastforwarding on days when I actually remember to put the tape in the VCR.  Or maybe I'll just download it from the internet.

I do have one problem though: I must find yet another icon.

Sonny bought Alexis weed.  After he hid the weed she already had from her District Attorney husband.  If that's not love, I don't know what is. 

to some character consistency. Here's my Grey's reaction post. I usually let it stew over night because I'm usually pissed off right after the episode airs, but I figure since Shonda and Co. keep pissing me off, it must be how I really feel. 


Now, I'm going back to watch some X-Files because the only thing that makes me angry about that show is that it isn't on anymore.  I was watching the Season 5 extras this afternoon and realized that exactly nine years ago today I was watching my first "live" X-Files season premiere, and I was captivated.  And maybe I'll watch General Hospital one more time.  Because today, for the first time in a very long time, Sonny smiled.  At Alexis. *squee*

Dude, nothing like some Sexis to make me feel all warm and fuzzy and giggly on the inside. Well, that and Alexis telling Ric he deserved the beating he got and that "better men than you have tried--ask your brother."  And here's hoping that Luke's comment about how there are women out there men will "bag the world for" and then the cut to Sexis actually meant something. Yeah, this picture...not Ric! It just so happens it's the "better" brother coming to the rescue. *squee*!  It would also be totally awesome if Sonny made good on that threat about "them" not even finding a hair from Ric's head after Sonny was done with him for treating Alexis like that.  *sonnylove*

So, just when I had finally quit watching, cold turkey, those bastards at General Hospital go and suck me back in with their ultimate trump card: Sonny and Alexis being NICE to each other. And looking as though they might even be able to be friends again since he is apparently going to be her confidant during her very sudden bout with lung cancer. I wait four freakin' years for them to not be yelling at each other and then, just when I quit...ugh, jerks. And yet, I can't be totally angry 'cuz we all know it's gonna be GOOD!
