the end of an era.... wait, they're doing another season? pssht.

i hate being a whiny little bitch, so i'll let my bff my favourite youtube celeb kelly give IC this message for me: ps- if you haven't seen SHOES, you must now. RIGHT NOW.

ps- my general reaction to season 4?

here we go..bette: ARSON! ARSON!
alice: really, papi? really???
jenny: shay, say 'stacey merkin is a fucking cunt'. say it. say 'stacey merkin is a fucking cunt'.
jenny: do you know what "merkin" means, jolene? vagina wig. that's what her name means.
shane (to papi): yeah okay, dad.
alice: i don't kiss girls who wear doilies.
alice: fuck my mother!
kit: fuck you you lying low-down nanny-fucking motherfucker!
bette (signing to jodi): they were fucking all day.
bette: fucking unacceptable, this is so fucking unacceptable.
(even) bette(r): fuck you, jenny. this is complete and utter total fucking bullshit. i wouldn't say that. never. that's not even gramatically correct, you fucking idiot. you're dead meat. you're just dead fucking meat, jennifer schecter.

funny random aside?? i know a carly schecter... and it's fully possible she's more insane than jenny... maybe... well really, all psych students are a little crazy... i guess. ;)

the above are called redeeming qulaities (although i know there are TONS i missed). quotes that make me piss myself smile. why can't AR do this show full time? i want girltrash, but at least if she did L full time we'd get rid of IC she'd get paid better.

credit where credit is due.. this season was chock full of amazing one-liners. kept me pissing myself in between the rest of the overwraught garbage that came out of characters' mouths.

wait, there are non-dana characters on this show? so what the fuck was with the dana tease? like, bitch please... we got 2 minutes. as soon as i saw ED in the credits i almost creamed shat myself freaked out! i'd stare at erin daniels all day. and the dialogue was rediculously awesome.

this was also rediculously awesome:

now on to the goods..

WHAT I WANT FOR SEASON 5:

1.) booty booty booty booty rockin' everywhere
i want to see some fucking hot sex... wait... yes, fucking hot sex. how about some hot helena sex. of course i mean helena minus her freak show gamblers anonymous spokeswoman sidekick. i mean, fuck that. they completely underutilized the best asset on the show. let's see...

a. HOT.

b. NOT hot... kind of dirty... kind of VERY dirty. wrongo.


2.) kill off get rid of some characters.
not rocket science. a 50 minute episode divided by 10+ main characters = less than 5 minutes per character per episode. for instance, where was tina at the beginning of the season??? oh, that's right, she was watching henry clip his toenails. i'm not really complaining, i kind of like the fact the show has become the ALICE + SHANE SHOW!

...however, maybe we could throw in some helena too... mmm helena.


3.) bettina
i was already rooting for them at the beginning of the season, and now that tina's semi-likeable again, it's that x100,000. besides, kate arden is faaaar too narcissistic for tina (although talk about tina being a textbook sub, HAH). and as far as bette's lovelife goes, don't even get me started on the fact that jodi wears mom jeans.


4.) a slightly more sane jenny

Dear Ilene,

Is there any possible way we could have a Jenny
storyline that's not a complete character assassination?

Thanks,
Minna

obvs jenny wouldn't be the same if she were completely balanced, but come on. she was a fucking psychopath this season. i bet mia had a lottttt of fun playing it out. oh vagina wig... i love you jenny.

5.) bring sexy back
any ONE of the following would appease me:

1. lara perkins
2. dana fairbanks
3. uta refson
4. claude mcfrenchchick
5. carmen de la... la.... uhm.. yeah. carmen.

remembering carmen's last name is like trying to remember apu's last name on the simpsons. it just doesn't happen. speaking of carmen's sexy ass...
wow. maybe i miss carmen more than i thought...

6.) how about some more of this:


well, that's all i've got... for now.
here's hoping season 5 is actually good!! :)

later all.

procrastination, with a side of bisexuality.

so i'm currently watching season two of south of nowhere, fawning over facebook photos, and chatting on msn. sounds like a wicked day, if i wasn't supposed to be writing my psychology and religion essay. this is the last big thing i have to do before finals, yet i can't motivate myself to start on it (clearly due tomorrow).

i already submitted my proposal so i know what i'm writing about.. here, here's my little bullshit abstract:

Focus: Religion, Psychology, and the Acceptance of Sexuality

Objective:
To produce an objective overview, citing both religious and psychological theory, of the acceptance/rejection of alternative forms of sexuality in modern western society. I will also address the recent societal progression towards acceptance of homosexuality, and the ramifications for other orientations.

see, usually i'm spot on when it comes to debating sexuality and whatnot... but for some reason right now i'm at a loss. i've been pretty passionate about the subject, especially when it comes to the issue of bisexuality.. for example, in response to bisexuality on the L word (most specifically relating to tina), i wrote:

"[In general] this whole issue of bisexuality runs along the same lines as looking at something like transgendered individuals. When you're talking about gender, most of modern society still sees it as a strict dichotomy between male and female. The same thing translates into sexuality. Now that homosexuality is becoming more acceptable (little by little), it's the shades of grey that make people uncomfortable. Now that we have 2 clear definitions of sexuality (heterosexual and homosexual), society wants you to choose one or the other.

I myself have nothing against the bisexual community, but I feel that since there now is this dichotomous split between gay and straight that people do not understand the concept of bisexuality. It's the either/or mentality that causes the misconceptions about bisexuality as a whole -- ie. seeing it as an excuse for promiscuity, etc. And this is the reason why both camps have trouble accepting it as a legitimate orientation.

The same logic is behind why people have trouble understanding transgendered individuals -- people believe that you are born as physically male or female (obviously mistaking sex for gender). The new prevalent view on sexuality in the scientific community suggests the same thing -- you are born as either gay or straight. So even in this new perspective, bisexuals are left in the dark. And as always, people find it simpler to reject the inbetween rather than understand it."

...

"[Acceptance] likely will come in time, but right now mainstream society is still getting used to the idea of homosexuality... so it will definately take a while to fill in the blanks.

As far as the L Word is concerned... Is the representation crude? Yes. But, unrealistic? Sadly, no.

Many bisexuals who exist in the lesbian community for an extended period of time and then decide they want to persue a heterosexual relationship do face the sort of discrimination that Tina is facing from the other L Word characters -- similar to the way a woman who has identified as a bisexual but has been in exclusively heterosexual relationships may face discrimination from her peers should she choose to date another woman."

there's a good chance i'll reproduce some of this in my essay, but for now i have absolutely no direction to go in. there isn't exactly a plethora of empirical research on the subject. FUCK.

all nighter #2 is on tap.. i want some wine.
