AARON TVEIT. YES BE IN MORE SHOWS I WATCH. (Namely, Glee, so he can sing! But I'll take anything.) Too bad he turned out to be a douche and I imagine won't return for more episodes. But still, I wasn't expecting him to show up!

I adore Marc and Justin's friendship. They are seriously the main reason I've kept watching. And Justin kissed a boy! Finally! At the beginning of the show I wasn't sure they were going to go there, but it did seem they were heading the way of him figuring out he was gay this season (although with him obviously in denial first). But I kind of thought it would just be him figuring it out and coming out, not him actually a boy. Very cool. Now he needs to confide in Marc, because it's been killing him not to be like "SERIOUSLY YOU ARE GAY."

I don't have much to say about 4.17 because that whole idea is so overdone and I find the implication that pretty=mean while ugly=nice to be really weird and stereotypical (and I say this as a not-pretty person). Although maybe as someone who had braces for 8 years, I'm a little biased, as I don't see how my life would have been drastically worse without them. Plus, yes I believe that small changes can make a huge difference, but at the same time, I don't believe that just one aspect of life determines everything, you know? There are so many other factors that go into how our lives are shaped, including the people around us, and I can't believe that Betty's temperament would have been so drastically changed or that for example Ignacio would start gambling because he had some money. Maybe if he grew up rich, but not as far into life as he would have been when being richer. And yes, money can corrupt, blah blah blah, but it was just outside the realm of believability for me.

Ok, I guess I did have more to say about this plotline than I thought even though it's entirely inconsequential. Honestly I think I was just a little bitter that they weren't focusing on Justin and his awesome new romance. When I figured out what the episode was going to be and that Justin wasn't even around for most of it, I was annoyed because I wanted to see where they were going to go with what happened last week. But then Austin showed up at the end!!! I was not expecting that until Justin went to the door and then he did and I was like ";kajsf omg it better be him" and it was. And while we didn't see or hear anything else, he wouldn't show up at Justin's house if he was going to blow him off or shoot him down or whatever, right? Plus, he was smiling, right? I'm so happy Ugly Betty is actually going there and giving Justin a (possible) relationship and everything. (Although seriously, what do I have to do to get Marc to find someone? ...and actually kiss onscreen, unlike with his relationship with Cliff?)

I was expecting this show to be canceled, and if it happened in the 2nd or 3rd season, I would have not cared at all, and I didn't even think I cared that much when I found out it was canceled, but... the show has actually been much better this season (besides the stupid Daniel joins a cult plot, but that's over, so it's fine). And really I just need to see more of Marc and Justin (and Amanda; I love her and Marc's scenes together). And I just found out that there are only 3 episodes left! I was expecting at least 5 more. boo. They better include Justin confiding to Marc about Austin at some point in those 3 episodes. Now I'm even more annoyed with the plotline of last night's episode, which was just pointless, in my opinion.


I'm slowly catching up on TV! I still have a good ways to go, though. Luckily one of my two major things for next week got pushed back 2 weeks, so now all I have to focus on right now is my German test tomorrow and for next week my group project for my evolution class. Unfortunately my group still wants to meet tonight for the group project that got pushed back two weeks, which, I mean... I understand the point of pushing it back was not so we could put it off for 2 more weeks, but at the same time, my German test that is tomorrow has to come before a project that is 3 weeks away. And we were supposed to meet at 8 tonight, but then someone in the group wanted to attend some event or something, so we're meeting at 9:30. I hate meeting so late. =/ I mean, no it's not incredibly late, but at that point, I want to be entirely focused on studying for my exam. But the other people in the group agreed and I didn't want to be the lone person causing problems, so I just went along with it. blah.

I'm so tired. For some reason I've had a terrible time falling asleep this week. Don't really know what to do about it, though. The thing is, the more nights that this happens, the more anxious I feel about it, and I feel like that just makes it even harder to fall asleep the next night. I definitely haven't had a nice, full night of sleep since being home, which sucks. I'm not even having as much caffeine as I normally do! Hopefully tonight my various group meetings and the culmination of several nights of not being able to sleep will tire me out enough so that I can actually get a full night of sleep.
