Dair has finally happened!!!

OMG!

I'm in cloud 9 right now. I just finished watching the new episode of GG on youtube and it finally happened. It finally happened.

Dan kissed Blair. Blair kissed him back. And the best part of it all is that this time the producers weren't cruel enough to make it part of a dream or someone's imagination.

I'm soooooo happy right now. I was very sceptical about whether the writeres of the show woul give the Dair couple a fair chance to get together.

Here is the whole scene of this brilliant, romantic and out of this world fantastic moment on GG :)

To All Dair Shippers.......You're not alone


Newest couple I'm falling in love with comes from Gossip Girl. And it of course it involves Blair but unlike most fans of the show the other person in this pair that I'm absolutely obsessed about does not involve Chuck. It actually involves Dan Humprey.

Yes, Lonely boy has never looked hotter in my book now that I've realized how good he looks next to Blair. I'm currently praying to God Buddha and Allah for the writers of GG to please give them more scenes together so I can feed my hunger for this pair.

I have to admit that in season one I loved Chair (So the name for this couple was either Chair or Dack, man one is worse than the other) and I continued to like them a lot as the season continued BUT after season 3, I just feel out of love with Chair. I felt like their love wasn't as epic as it had seemed at first. Chuck would be blissfully happy and in love with Eva right now if Blair had not gotten involved and I think that as time had gone by Blair would have also found herself in love with someone else. And then with Chuck getting so "attached" to Rania, I just lost all my interest in the Chair couple.

But then I found hope and new hope in the show when I noticed how sweet, hot, funny, cute, entertaining and absolutely lovely Dan and Blair would look together. It started in the middle of season 3, even though then there wasn't even a trace of any of them feeling anything but contempt for the other. I still had hope that maybe it would happen someday . And if not maybe there were writers out there who saw the amazing possibilities that would come with this couple. I went in search of this and found some amazing and original stories about Dair (see even their nickname sounds better). Dare to ship Dair (it's meant to be, the name fits them perfectly)

But there are not nearly enough fanfics out there to satisfy my need for Dair right now. I've scrapped all the pages that have fanfics about them but there are way too few of them. I think I've already read any readable story I've been able to find and still I want to find more. They are becoming my guilty pleasure this week. I really hope some fanfic authors see the spark between them and decide to write amazing stories worthy of a love between them.

And it would be even better if the writers of the show it self give them at least a chance. I so want more interactions between them. I want to see one more kiss scene between them even if
it's just a dream of Dan or even better if it's a fantasy from Blair. I just want to see them together.

I know Chair fans want to kill anyone who might even dare to mention the possibility of Dan and Blair getting together at all BUT that makes it even more irresistible to ship this couple for me.

Make Dair happen pleaseeee <3 at least for awhile :(

My not so favorite characters from Gossip Girl




Okay, this post is more of a rant about my currently favorite show. Gossip Girl.

At one point I never thought I would ever even consider watching the show because one, I didn't even know what channel it was on. And two, it just seemed like an over hyped teen show
that followed in the footsteps of Twilight.

But well, my first judgemental critique was a little unfair given the fact that I had never even watched one whole episode. So taking advantage of the fact that my sister has a Netflix account I decided to watch the first episode.

It wasn't amazing but it was interesting enough to make me want to watch the next episode. And well, after that, the rest is history.

I watched the first season in just 3 days. And the second season in 2. Currently I'm watching season three and I'm almost done with that

I sorta became obsessed with it (I feel so ashamed)

But with most things I watch or read I have my favorites and not so favorites characters.

I think the easiest thing to discuss first is my not so favorite characters.

First there is Vanessa. Almost as soon as I saw her entering the scene of gossip I knew she was one of those characters that even when they were right, they really annoyed the heck out of me.
I just don't feel the 'I'm better than thou' attitude she has with everyone and everything. I understand that some things are morally correct and some aren't but can't this girl just stop pretending like she is the perfect human being in the most annoying way possible? Maybe I just don't like her face. LOL I'm not sure what I'm getting at here but maybe it's like what people say. When you don't like someone for whatever reason, you'll find everything they do annoying.

Second is Serena. Okay, She is the protagonist and I think that we are all supposed to kind of like her in the end even after the mistakes she makes but I can't help but hate her. Yes, she is a somehow-good friend to Blair(Which does earn her brownie points in my book since I really do like Blair) but that's where it ends. I just see her as a superfluous flirty bimbo who has been way too spoiled and for some reason I can't understand (maybe it's cuz I'm a girl) every guy 100 miles from her find her irresistible. She seems to be really good at making me dislike her. She's slept with almost every guy in the show and still everyone idolises her. Maybe it's that weird obsession America has for girls that look like sluts. Sorry S.

But all in all it's an entertaining show which makes me frustrated sometimes but it also makes me laugh and wonder if there really are people who can spend more than 5000 dollars in a dress.

XOXO Gossip Girl
(LOL Sorry for the corniness but this post calls for it)

Dramione and my take on it



I love harry Potter and since I wish the story would have been longer or certain things would have happened instead of others, I turn to fan fiction to satisfy my needs.

Although in the real books there is not even a hint that this pair would ever actually have a love relationship I always thought it would be an actual interesting story if it ever happened. That pairing is of Draco Mayfoy and Hermione Granger, or Dramione for those really into this pair.

I must confess though that their nickname Dramione is a little to cheesy and awkward for me. But I still love this pair nevertheless. I've been able to find some really good stories about them. Ones with very creative plots and good character development. However I found a lot that are really just terrible. I am one who can get pass some situations in a story that might seem pretty unrealistic if they are done in a smart sort of way, BUT what I can't get pass is characters acting....well, out of character.

If you have read the books you have a pretty good idea of how Malfoy and Hermione are. Hermione is a girl who knows herself very well, is responsible, righteous, well-mannered, sympathetic, smart, honest, and talented. Malfoy on the other hand is presumptuous, pompous, good looking, relatively smart, hurtful, hateful, rich, spoiled, knows how to lead, has a prince syndrome and is very sure of himself.

I think their characters and personalities in the book are already defined and those who write fanfictions about them should respect these points. There can be some twists in their lives that can be written by fan fictions authors while developing their love story, but these twists have to be realistic. It can't seem forced and completely fake. Like for example having Hermione suddenly be a great
sexy salsa dancer who makes everyone blind with her beauty just seems completely bogus. Hermione is Hermione and I don't see this as being her at all.

Or Malfoy suddenly being all helpful and soft to others. C'mon who are you kidding?! Malfoy soft? Ha. Malfoy insulting Hermione and constantly calling her a Mudblood and all sort of names seems like what would actually happen in the book. Maybe Hermione hexing him into oblivion at first would fit into a story about this pair very nicely.

I don't really think they have to completely change to start having feelings for each other. Understanding each other and therefore seeing more than they already have seems way more romantic than having Malfoy suddenly thinking Hermione is hot and Hermione thinking Malfoy is muscular and dreamy. Since I really do love the Harry Potter saga and for some reason Dramione(Ugh this nickname) is my all time favorite couple-that-never-actually-happened I feel like I'm more critical of the stories I find of them. I wish I was a little more creative so I could write a good story
about them. But I'm not sure if I would be able to really enjoy my story as a reader since it would be own story and I really do love to read Dramione stories.

Ohhh, one more thing. If you are writing a story about them don't make them call each other by their first names too quickly pleaseeeeee. For some reason I almost immediately lose interest in a story when Malfoy calls Hermione as Hermione or Hermione calls Malfoy as Draco (I think this one is the worst scenario for me). Just let them call each other by their last names as long as possible.
Even if they would ever get married I think it would be cute if they called each other by their last names to tease each other or when they are upset with each other(it would be so cute if Malfoy would call Hermione as "Granger" because he likes how red she would go from indignation at him using her last name after all their time together ***I'm sorry I'm rambling right now but this is what happens to you once you ship this couple :D)

To all fan-fiction authors keep writing and loving our Dramione couple. They are the best and we know it XD(And Malfoy knows it as well ;)

Lost in......



I just finished watching "Lost in Austen" for the second time. And even though the film goes for more than 2 and half hours, I still loved every minute of it.

If you haven't watched it yet then I urge you to go do it now. Lost in Austen tells the story of Amanda Price, a woman who is a fan of everything to do with her favorite book Pride and Prejudice. She somehow gets to enter that world one day and gets to see all of her favorite characters in real life.

I truly feel very connected with the character of Amanda Price. A woman who feels like her everyday life is dull and meaningless compared to that of Elizabeth Bennett. She longs for the manners and life style she reads about in her favorite book.

I also easily lose myself in the fantasy of books. I feel myself being absorbed into foreign worlds and wish I could really be there. And like with Amanda Price, people around her tell her how absurd it is to be absorbed into something that isn't real. I've also been told many times that it isn't good to be to concerned with fictional characters because it is nothing more than fantasy.

I can't lie and say that it doesn't break my heart when I hear these words because deep inside I know it's true. I can't really let my life go down the drain because of something that doesn't even exist but on paper. But anytime I feel like I can't really talk to anyone and I need something or someone who could make me feel better, I turn to books.

Books have saved me many times and maybe I do lose the sense of reality at times when I read one. But I'd rather be lost for a while in something as wonderful as the story in a book than to oblige myself to never have met with the pleasure of enjoying one.

With these words I depart to read a new book and lose myself from the world for a little while.

Toddles :)

Holy Procrastination

Okay, Why can't I just do the stuff I'm supposed to do on time instead of having to always wait for the very last minute to even attempt to do them?

Why? WHY? WHYYYYY?

I don't freaking get me anymore. I keep complaining about needing more time to do stuff, but when I actually get that precious needed time I prayed for the heavens to give me, what do I do?

a)nothing
b)watch cute bunnies eating carrots on YouTube
c)be responsible and finish homework

If you answered a then ***ding ding ding*** we have a winner.

If you answered b then ***ding ding ding*** you are a winner too (isn't this awesome?)

But if you answered c then ***Dum dum dum dummmm***** WTH were you thinking???!!!!!

Why can't I just get go home and do what I'm supposed to do?

I'm so mad at myself, I won't eat my favorite dessert in the whole wild world as punishment D: even though it's there. In my fridge. With my name on it (btw, it's whipped cream)

Oh well, I guess I procrastinated enough for tonight. Toodles 8)

(btw the way, when I first heard the word Procrastination, I actually thought it was something sexual related LOL. I don't know why I ever thought that.)

Real Housewives of New York City Recap (season 4)

I'm so dissapointed with Andy (the host from Real Housewives reunions) tonight it's not even funny.


I watched the first part of RHONY half an hour ago and everything I was expecting happened. All ladies didn't act too much like ladies, everyone talked over everyone, they kept attacking one subject but never got to a real solution or clossure, etc.


But for some reason I really disliked Andy tonight by the way he kept asking the blondes to let the brunnetes speak and pretty much shut up, but when the brunettes kept interrumpting the blondes he would just let them.


Usually I find Andy to be kind of the 'voice of reason' during this reunions but tonight I found him completely taking sides with the 'evil and mean side'



I freaking hate Cindy. She's not only bo-ringggggggg but she's effing rude to people and she thinks she's above other people (cough* Luann II). What kind of psycho would wear the suit of his wife's dead ex husband????!!!! That's just creepy. No wonder Ramona was so freaked out at her brother. Thank God they edited most of her parts because I can't stand her.


Jill seems to still be a bully and to want to be the center of attention (i'm so glad she got voted biggest bully in the show) Can't she let Luann deal with her own problems?? Ramona is Ramona, and Luann is always saying condescending things to her so just let them solve it themselves. What's with the "If you don't leave her alone, you'll have to deal with me"? Are you the Godfather now or what? Or are you going to make your dummy, sorry husband, hire a hitman to get rid of Ramona.


Kelly, please just shut up. She's still as crazy as ever and it makes me so mad how she tries to act like the voice of reason, but worse of all how Andy by reading comments of Bravo users (probably it's multiple accounts made by Kelly) who encourage her to keep on interrumpting people to try to 'solve' things, is just adding fuel to her dillusion.


Alex- She's a woman who I think is trying to be more open and honest with herself, but it seems like she doesn't have good timing to butt in. Everyone kept shushing her and telling her not to get involved but everyone did exactly that and no one said anything. She needs to quit the show and try to get her dignity back away from the spotlight.


Sonja- What can I say? They are crazy (in a good way......kinda) They laugh, drink (maybe too much?) dance, laugh again and speak their mind openly. They sometimes step over the line with their comments but I think that all in all they speak the truth.


Luann - One word........."Classless" She needs to stop trying to deny the fact that she acts perfect. That's the first step to recovery. Get over yourself Luann and try to be more humble, dear.
