"All I ask of you is one thing, particularly of young people: please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism -- for the record, it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere.
Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen. I'm telling you, amazing things will happen!"~ Conan O'Brien

Timing Is Everything
Did anyone enjoy last night's 90210 episode? I did. That show is very reminiscent of one of my other favourite shows, The O.C. It has that same vibe and drama to it.
If I could take pointers from one of the characters, it would be Silver. She's unique and direct with people. She can speak her mind and almost get what she wants. I quite enjoyed her coyness towards Dixon. I can't do that to a guy but I could take pointers from her.
As for Annie and Ethan. It is very similar to what Marissa and Ryan (from the O.C.) had going for. They could never be together for longer than two episodes (I don't know how long that is in the t.v. world) without some drama to tear them apart. And look what happened in Season three?! But that's more drama with the actor than with the characters they played.
My question is, would timing be everything to a relationship between friends? We don't necessarily know if Annie and Ethan ever dated two years before they ran into 90210, but they certainly have that chemistry that we all want with someone we're attracted to. Ethan has a history with Naomi and she's in need of a friend with her current situation at home. Annie is just confused because Ty was being a jerk and Ethan is being wishy-washy with his intentions towards her. But this is a t.v. show, I am over analyzing it because I have no life right now. Or I am just questioning my own mini drama which is really not even a drama. But it certainly makes life interesting, right?
We'll just have to see...for what will happen with Annie and Ethan of course! :P

I Can't Think of a Witty Title
I finally got to watch the third episode of 90210 via online. Thank goodness for that option nowadays. I have to say, those kids really do have to deal with a lot of things that I am thankful I never had to go through. I know it's only t.v. but if you isolate their situations it is rather sad to see an adolescent be forced dealing with that. Even though my youth (I know I am still rather young, but you catch my drift) was rather wonderful, it was also very innocent and fun. I'm really enjoying the tension between Annie and Ethan. As always, if my own romantic life is non-existent, I live it through unrealistic people. Hahaha...oh I'm so pathetic. But hey, at least I don't seek trouble outside the bluetube or rather...the fibreglass or whatever material they use for the internet. But then again...maybe I SHOULD? Hmmm...nah, I'm too much of a damn good girl. Stupid morals...why must you almost always win?!
My family finally purchased all the furniture we need for our house from IKEA and I am rather excited it's finally all coming together. This renovation started in January while I was still living in Windsor. We can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel with this renovation. Just minor details are needed to be worked but that can be fixed whenever. The big purchase for my room was a big closet considering I once had a built-in closet. For months, I had a HUGE hole on my wall because the closet was taken out to make more room for the adjacent bathroom. So the hole was covered with just brown paper for privacy. The house is looking better and I would be more proud to invite people over. I am still undecided if I should hold my 25th birthday at my house, but we'll see...
After making those purchases, my mom, my brother and myself headed up to Kleinberg (Vaughn area) for a wedding rehearsal. It's rather a quaint 'village' which reminded me of Streetsville, but a nicer version of it. Haha... The couple (very sweet and funny ones) will be getting married in this very small church. It's the typical kind you would see in southern towns where the church is all white and surrounded by beautiful flowers. It'll be very cramped inside but we'll manage to capture the event. The photo shoot (weather permitting of course) will be done around the street area which will be awesome. It's very picturesque and candid which I always enjoy. I always do the second angle and my family knows that's what I am mostly comfortable with, because I am under no pressure taking pictures. After the rehearsal we passed by the McMichael Gallery which I was pleasantly surprised. I have only been there once back in Gr. 9 for my Art class. It is where most of the Group of Seven's artworks are held and it's magnificent to see it in one room. After seeing where it is, I plan to go back sometime this fall. According to my brother, during the fall season, the gallery looks great with the multi-coloured trees surrounding it. So it'll be a good opportunity to take pictures and be inspired by famous artists. I just need to recruit some people to go for a little trip with me. I can name a couple already. :P
That's it for now. Until then!

90210
I was able to watch most of the premier episode (2 hours long) of the new 90210. I got my friend to tape it so I can watch it again peacefully without any interruptions from my family. I know why I could never watch prime time shows because my household is just too darn busy to sit down without anyone talking louder than the t.v. Or maybe I should just get a t.v. in my room again. Yes, that's the solution.
Anywho...back to the show. Overall, I thought it was a good episode. As usual, the show is filled with good looking people, skinny bodies, amazing clothes, and of course the portrayal of the expensive lifestyle. One can only dream of marrying a rich husband and maybe attain such a life. Now let's talk about the boys, I thought Ethan and Ty were cute but I am also attracted to the teacher, Mr. Matthews. Again, I didn't really get to watch the whole show due to some distractions so I'll make a fuller analysis of the characters later on, maybe.
Mr. Matthews looking cute. You might not see it in this picture, but in other ones that I have seen, he has similar features as Edward Norton. More reasons to like this dude. :)
Annie and Ethan talking after Naomi found out Ethan cheated on her. I like this blue dress Annie wore at Naomi's party which she was "disinvinted" from. LOL
I'll do my best to watch these new and returning shows such as Ugly Betty and actually keep up with it. We will see!
The show had a good mixture of songs that I would listen to. And I was pleasantly surprised when they played one of Adele's song called "Chasing Pavements". It's a beautiful sad song.
