</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My favorite show of all time is of course One Tree Hill! I'm pretty much obsessed with the show. It's an amazing show and has many great quotes to go along with it! It's mainly about teenagers trying to find out who they are in a small town but it's definitely more exciting than just that. I didn't start watching it religiously until about 2007 or 2008. I watched episodes here and there when it was on in like 2003 or 2004 but I always forgot to watch the next episode the next week. Now a lot of people would say this is just another teen drama but I don't believe it is. It has so many great episodes about so many different topics. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love the show because of the characters on the show. The main five: Chad Michael Murray(Lucas), James Lafferty(Nathan), Hilarie Burton(Peyton), Bethany Joy Galeotti(Haley), and Sophia Bush(Brooke) all have amazing chemistry together. They are such good friends outside of the show so when they act together, you can tell that they enjoy working with each other. My favorite character is Peyton. She can be very dark and tortured since she has had a lot of bad things happen to her but in the end she comes out as a fighter. I love that she draws and is a music junkie as well. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table><div>I would have to say my favorite season was season 4. It had my favorite couple together(Peyton & Lucas) with some pretty great shockers and story lines. Season 3 is definitely a close second. It had the best episode ever in season 3. Where there was a school shooting and most the characters were trapped inside. It was a very sad episode and it was going to change their lives forever. The other favorite episode of mine is in season 4 when they win the state championship. </div><div>Here are a couple of fan made videos from that episode. This episode was superbly acted by everyone and it really showed that this could really happen anywhere.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/rpf8Dr-rJo0?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As the seasons went by it's definitely gone downhill. To me I stopped watching it after Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton left at the end of season 6. It wasn't the same show without them. I wish they would come back for season 8 but I doubt that they will. I bought season 7 on dvd about two months ago and I've only watched the first two episodes. I can't get into and it just bums me out because this show was awesome and I have to admit season 8 is good so far. I will always be a fan of the main five characters on the show and it even had good story lines with the adults when they were in high school. In season 5 they jumped forward four years after everyone was done with college and it was interesting to see where everyone landed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">WOW this is a really long post!! But I adore this show too much and love the actors on the show. OH and the music from this show is phenomenal! I download most of the music that I hear in episodes! They know how to use music to go along with a scene. Also, the episodes are named after songs. They've had some guest musical stars on there to perform as well. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This song is my favorite song! It was featured in one of the episodes from season 1.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I tried updating this a couple days ago but for some reason it was coming up as error. Anyways I love Friends and it's a close second to my number one favorite show which will be unveiled tomorrow or in the next day. It's one of the funniest shows ever in my opinion. I can watch reruns all day and still laugh hysterically. It's a great funny show with some definitely tears scenes.<br />
<br />
I didn't start watching it until later in the series, probably in the middle. I was too young when it started but my family always watched it and I was always curious. So they were the ones that definitely got me into the show. I don't know if I have a favorite, I think I love them all equally. But I would say the funniest out the bunch to me is David Schwimmer(Ross). He is such a dork but the way he acts, he makes his character hilarious to watch. Everyone was likable on the show and I don't think anyone got on my nerves ever.<br />
<br />
I can't really pick a favorite episode there are way too many to choose from. I want to say that season 4 or 5 was my favorite but I love all the other seasons too. It would be awesome if they had a reunion or a movie soon but it probably won't happen because Jennifer Aniston thinks she has "better" roles to do than Rachel except that's what kind of character she played in since Friends ended in 2004! I'm not trying to be mean to her but it's true she just needs to branch out into different roles. Anyways this show will always be one of my top favorite shows and I wish there were more reruns of this show on TV!<br />
<br />
I'm not going to post any videos of Friends because I figure most people have seen the show at least once! Plus, I'm having a hard time embedding videos from youtube for Friends for some reason.<br />

I have to give credit to <a href="http://natebou.blogspot.com/">Nathan</a> and <a href="http://mattbenyo.blogspot.com/">Matt</a> for getting me into the show. I first started watching it in 2009, the beginning of the sixth season. At first I did not want to watch it but I got hooked. So I started watching reruns of it on Lifetime and get caught up but I never watch the full complete episodes sometimes because of me working or school. So I started watching it on Netflix(love by the way) so I can get caught up completely.<br />
<br />
After watching the first season, I realized that this could very well be one my favorite shows. It's such a funny show that I've laughed out loud many times. I love the characters on the show so much. I would have to say I like Susan(Teri Hatcher) the best! She's funny and clumsy as hell but she's also a strong woman and all the clumsiness makes her adorable. But I do like all the other characters just as much. I really liked season one because it showed you how the housewives aren't as perfect as they might seem on the outside. I have to say I adore Susan and Mike together! They are definitely the best couple on the show. I can't think of my favorite episode. A lot of them I love and as season 6 started it's gone downhill just like most shows do.<br />
<br />
I would say either Season 4 or 5 are my favorite seasons. It's a great show and it's fun to watch. There are definitely some sad episodes that have made me cry and some great acting in the series. I just finished watching season 1-6 recently and now I miss it! Even though I have new episodes to look forward too in this season but it's not the same for some reason. Every time I watch the show, I always think who am I most like? I can't really say one character I'm like the most but there are definitely moments where I go that's definitely would be me!<br />
<br />
Here is a video of some scenes from the series. Couldn't find a really good one.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/HdyDwoPKUC4?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>Betsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04757168472849734708noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677541550165162667.post-70572106282097046172011-03-09T20:39:00.000-08:002011-03-09T20:39:04.244-08:00Nip/TuckNip Tuck is one of my favorite shows and always will be. I didn't start watching until the middle of the series started. It was a very provocative show and it definitely pushed the limit. It had so many crazy story lines, crazy characters, and crazy scenes. Right now I am going back and watching it from season one on Netflix. I only watched some episodes from seasons 1-3 and thought I should watch them all. Let's just say that I'm glad I did because now I realize that season 1 so far is the best I've seen of the seasons I've seen.<br />
<br />
I just finished watching the episode called Adelle Coffin and it was an amazing episode to say the least. It mainly centered on the suicide of Megan who Sean is having an affair with. Megan's cancer returns after she survived it earlier on and she couldn't go through it again so she decides to end it on her terms. Dylan Walsh(Sean), Julie Warner(Megan), and Joely RichardsonI(Julia) were superb in this episode.<br />
<br />
It was a very painful to watch and I've seen some heart wrenching things on TV shows but this took the prize as the most hard to watch. To watching Megan taking her own life, to the funeral, then to Sean admitting to his wife, Julia he was having an affair with Megan it was all depressing to watch. Nip Tuck is probably my fourth favorite show and I think I'm going to write about my other top 3 favorite shows in the next few days. Since I don't like talking what else to talk about on here! I definitely recommend watching Nip/Tuck from season 1-6. As the seasons go on they're not as good as the earlier ones but still watchable.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Here are some clips from the episode. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/swkxfC349BI?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</tbody></table>Italy is on the top of my list of places I want to visit. I've been thinking lately that I want to study abroad next year in Italy. I really want to do something that it is out of the ordinary and that will give me a great experience. I would like to take class or two on Italian so I can at least know some of the language before I go. I need to get out of my comfort zone and try something new and exciting. Even though I go to school and work two part time jobs, I'm still sometimes bored out of my mind! It's really starting to aggravate me. <br />
<br />
I want to go to Italy because first of all I'm Italian and learning more about my heritage would be really fascinating. Plus, Italy has so many great attractions to see especially with all the beautiful buildings and the meanings behind them. I would love to go to Venice or Rome but if I go to U of M-Dearborn then Padova is the only choice. If I go to Grand Valley State, they have few other different cities including Rome. So it all just depends on which school I attend and which program is best for me. I'm going to try to get some information about each programs from the two schools and see what happens.<br />

They gave us a tour of the Department and it was not that interesting as I thought it was going to be. I think the most interesting part of the tour was the K9 demonstration. The police officer brought out his dog to show how the dog reacts to having marijuana in a drawer. Also, another police officer put on a padded coat where the dog attacks him and bites him.<br />
<br />
The rest of the tour was okay. I was really hoping we would get to see the jail but that didn't happen. If I become a police officer, I definitely want to be a K9 police officer. I would love to have a dog with me and it seems more interesting than just being a police officer.<br />
<br />
As the days go by I get more irritated because I'm still kind of unsure if this is what I really want to do. I look at criminal justice as a very interesting major and the classes I have taken are very intriguing. But more CJ classes I take, it's repetitive information which I guess would obviously happen but I'm getting bored with it. So as of right now I'm at a crossroads in what I really want to do. <br />
<br />
P.S. I can't wait for Thanksgiving! I mean everyone is making a big deal about Christmas and Thanksgiving hasn't even arrived yet! Thanksgiving definitely gets the shaft when it comes to the holidays. It's holiday to be thankful for what you have in your life!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I had an absolute BLAST this weekend! On friday night we went to Amy's house and they surprised me with a huge cupcake that Amy made! It was wasn't cooked all the way but it was good! Then Amy dyed my hair RED! And it turned out really GOOD!<br />

Then we went out to eat at Hayden's and Sharon(my boss) got me a $15 gift card there so I got a my first legal drink and it was okay. The food was really good, I would go back again! </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Then it was time to get wasted and go to Necto! It was such a fun time, probably one of the best times I've had at a club! Also, it's safe to say that everyone else had a great time too! Even Chelsea who wanted to stay 5 seconds and ended up staying the entire time!! We pretty much danced the night away the entire time we were there! All of us at one point got on the stage and danced! I must of been drunk enough to do that!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Then on Sunday I went to Dave & Busters with my two cousins and that was also a lot of fun! We got majorly lost but in the end it was just as fun! I definitely want to hang out with them more, I forgot how much fun it is to hang out with them! So this weekend was the best weekend I've had in such a long time! OH YEAH I won $20 bucks on a $1 lotto ticket my bro got me! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Haven't really had too much to say I suppose. Just been working and going to school. On friday night I went to Canada to see Dierks Bentley in concert with Amy! It was a lot of fun but I wish it was a little bit longer though. Then Saturday night Nathan, Matt & Chelsea came over and we watched scary movies all night pretty much!<br />
<br />
One thing that I have been thinking a lot about lately is kids for some reason. Kids are very stressful to take care of and all the times that they push your buttons but the times when they make you laugh or just see in their eyes that they feel safe in your arms makes it all worth it. I know I want kids (adopted & biological) one day but not anytime soon. I love the time I get to spend with my nieces and nephews and thats enough for right now!<br />

So I haven't posted in a couple of days. On friday I went to IKEA with Cindy! I haven't seen her since Labor Day weekend. She wrote me a really great letter of recommendation for this scholarship I'm going to apply for. We had a good time even though it was a short time. We didn't buy anything at IKEA but we did buy food and it was really good! PIIZZA fresh out of the oven! Then the fire alarm went off but 3 minutes after it went off they came on the loud speaker saying it was a test! Couldn't you have told us that beforehand!! But anyways it was great seeing Cindy since she is at Grand Valley so I don't see her as much.<br />
<br />
Then yesterday on Saturday I went to my sister Bridget's house in Grand Haven! Its about a 3 hour trip from my house and so it was an all day thing. We left about 730 or 8. We stopped at McDonald's for breakfast and I got a free med. fry from the monopoly! So now I'm going to try to get my places and try to win some money or something! So we arrived at Bridget's at about 11 and we stayed until 3 or so. It was a fun day. I love spending time with my family and I got to spend a little more time with my older brother Larry. It was great seeing Bridget and my nephews, I miss them a lot! Also, the food was really good of course lol. I love food as you can tell!<br />
<br />
Overall, it was a really good day and later that night me and Amy went shopping. I bought a jacket and a cover up. Then we stayed at my house for a while just doing nothing. We made some goofy photos as well! I will share those some other time!Betsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04757168472849734708noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677541550165162667.post-71329056589515652202010-10-13T22:18:00.000-07:002010-10-13T22:18:32.810-07:00Set the Fire to the Third Bar<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvlSPaRbWH5lHsPQki7Oz3qtCmBzeEiqyYpcC9aqq_1jOn9Z4byC6uKIv-ahNXmlnCA4iIrg5HDCJeSicMx1MEeGckIsKHN6-XHzkbiA7gt7Hzt_bErf2oQksEnd0A-Jlo83YybhyV504/s1600/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-kissing-budapest-03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvlSPaRbWH5lHsPQki7Oz3qtCmBzeEiqyYpcC9aqq_1jOn9Z4byC6uKIv-ahNXmlnCA4iIrg5HDCJeSicMx1MEeGckIsKHN6-XHzkbiA7gt7Hzt_bErf2oQksEnd0A-Jlo83YybhyV504/s400/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-kissing-budapest-03.jpg" width="358" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwn8LW_YOPMSp0-JgXW8EjE9MGG6iGkggMoOJPGezaROm3f1A7CR296JfEenvZioioLmZucEtp91P59qMgqoqUULP9-hl2BdxSea3zgFBENEfKY495qRhyphenhyphenyDTvhhyphenhyphenvKDSKyu5CY-Wct6c/s1600/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-kissing-budapest-14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwn8LW_YOPMSp0-JgXW8EjE9MGG6iGkggMoOJPGezaROm3f1A7CR296JfEenvZioioLmZucEtp91P59qMgqoqUULP9-hl2BdxSea3zgFBENEfKY495qRhyphenhyphenyDTvhhyphenhyphenvKDSKyu5CY-Wct6c/s320/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-kissing-budapest-14.jpg" width="212" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzEmj1ZVuZvwnhtZVjdYK8A3RJY9C5FlUb3pO2ngwEq2Gno_BmsYeJcP2__wnJ2VS1sCvMbqY1Smy6Su8986qjwRxqF2Ds9U3EB6ElQKrUQd-kC5sGL97d5tXT8PB-t-RrFA_xJN0gOrw/s1600/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-kissing-budapest-17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzEmj1ZVuZvwnhtZVjdYK8A3RJY9C5FlUb3pO2ngwEq2Gno_BmsYeJcP2__wnJ2VS1sCvMbqY1Smy6Su8986qjwRxqF2Ds9U3EB6ElQKrUQd-kC5sGL97d5tXT8PB-t-RrFA_xJN0gOrw/s320/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-kissing-budapest-17.jpg" width="260" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Let's just start off by saying that I'm major fans of Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie! I am in love with them pretty much. Everyone I know knows that! What's not to love about them? They are both great actors and have great movies. They are both humanitarians who has done so much good in the world. Brad has his Make it Right foundation http://www.makeitrightnola.org/ He is helping rebuild the lower ninth ward of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina hit. Angelina has been a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Ambassador since 2001. She has visited over 20 countries visting internally displaced persons. Together they have donated millions of dolars each year through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. But probably their biggest endeavor they have taken on is becoming parents to six children. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love the fact that these pictures show that after being together for 5 1/2 years that they are still very much in love. It's kind of funny how so many celebrity couples have been breaking up left and right lately but Brad & Angie are the ones in the tabloids each week saying they're going to break up. They seem to not pay attention to the tabloids and they don't care. It goes to show you that they seem to be in it for the long haul and are stronger than ever. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Okay enough of all this mushy crap! And yes I know I am a major dork but I really don't care! I should be writing two papers now but I always seem to get distracted. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The dream was about me getting shot 3 times in my backyard and I was still running around trying to get away even though I was shot 3 times! I don't know who the person was who shot me, some black guy. I got shot in the arm and when I woke up my arm hurt real bad. I thought it was so weird.<br />
<br />
So last night I watched Reviving Ophelia on lifetime. It was a decent movie I suppose for a lifetime movie. The movie was based on the book Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls by Mary Pipher. I've never read the book but it's on my list.<br />
<br />
Someone who beats up there significant other because they have anger issues or have the genetic factor of their parents being abusive is NOT okay in my book. Now usually it's men who beat up women which is mostly true but after watching Teen Mom it could also be women beating up men. When women are in a abusive relationship, they usually blame themselves for their partner's outburst on them! And this is not okay and it never will be okay. It's never your fault that a man hits you. Just because you might of made him mad does not justify what he did was okay. Well, I could go on forever talking about this but I will stop where I am at.<br />
<br />
Today and well always people never cease to amaze me. I don't get people at all especially people who are close to me. That's why I can never trust anyone and I don't depend on people anymore. I have stopped doing that when I was little when people always let me down. Even if it was a little thing. Nothing is ever absolute.<br />
<br />
Here is something to lighten up this post!<br />

My friends started a blog and I didn't even think I would start one too. Maybe this can be a place where I can vent about anything I am feeling at any moment. As of right now I have a lot of things on my mind but right now I'm just going to go with who I am.<br />
I'm Betsy, I'm 20 years old about to be 21 in a month! I go to college to study Criminal Justice and I'm undecided on what I'm going to be. I can be outgoing but I can be shy around people I don't know. I love my family and friends. I don't trust a lot of people and I guess I can be well guarded around people I just meet. I love to read books and my goal for the year is to read 25 books and I'm only on book 17! I work at China Gate Restaurant and have been for like 6 years. I'm weird but who isn't? I love to watch movies and listen to music. I've even consider being a movie critic because I always seemed to criticize movies.<br />
<br />
Okay that's it for now.<br />
Oh yeah I miss Up North terribly!Betsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04757168472849734708noreply@blogger.com5
