It's six o'clock at night and i still can't believe i am sitting at my computer. It's practically been 24 hours, with the occasional break for Christmas cookies and laundry that i was bribed into doing, of staring at a screen. I have sat down to complete the ultimate task--watch every episode of Gilmore Girls. Though very 17-year-old girl of me, the show has pulled me in and forced me to think about the realities of life. Does true love find you? Or it is hidden in small towns like Stars Hollow where the produce guy and mayor both know your name? Are perfect mom and daughter relationships out there with the perfect balance of door-slamming fights and goofy movie nights full of $40 worth of candy? Or does the mistake of a 16-year-old pregnancy have a twist a normal family doesn't? And though my questions are silly, mostly consisting of the likelihood of Chad Michael Murray and I bumping in the hallway at school, i have also begun to notice the "perfect slices of life" in my own world.
I love walking down stairs and seeing coffee (even if Lorelei propelled the thought in my head) and knowing there's company there to sweeten the black in my cup. I love surrounding myself with fresh clothes and silly dvds and just enjoy being a girl while still getting something done. I love that when things go crazy silly mad in my life, home is not only at this keyboard, but in the millions of people around me, certainly worthy of a movie box cover. Life will never be a hamburger at Luke's, but it will always be full of people crazy about me and those i am so excited to be crazy for.
Thanks for joining my life, may it be through this silly blog or 8 hour Gilmore Girl marathons (Sabrina I love you). Thanks for loaning me your movies that give me a passion to write (Natasha) or giving me moments so perfect for pictures displayed on my wall (Michelle). Thanks for kicking me in the behind and reminding me i had a blog to update (Baby De) and for constantly checking on it even though we really don't 'know' each other (Brian). Thanks for listening to the shit i need to write about (Katie J.) and letting me talk about things you are sick of hearing (Natalie). Thanks for letting me be stubborn (George) and answering every gosh darn question a girl could think of (Nathan). Thanks for forgiving me if i didn't mention your name, but still understanding how crazy i am for you. Thanks for making my life as awesome as Dean's and Rory's but so much more fun to live. Here things are tangible and real and don't make your eyes see spots when you look up (trust me i have been watching forever!). Have a wonderful Gilmore Girl day. I sure know i will. :)
