This time where you lead, I cannot follow ...
I don't get into too many tv shows to the point where I feel an emotional attachment to the characters, but Gilmore GIrls is (was) one of them. Sure, I was upset when Friends and Sex in the City came to an end, but this time it's different. I feel like I have lost a member of my family -- sure my crazy, fast talking family, but still my family nontheless. I felt like that show made me smarter. They would make so many cultural references in one episode that some of them I would have to look up afterwards just to know what the heck they were talking about. It was also nice to see on television people talking on my level -- fast, coffee induced rambles. I could relate. And I liked it.
So, now I'm left wondering -- will Luke and Loralai really be together forever? Will Rory and Logan ever speak again (that was the most uninspiring breakup ever)? Where is Jess? How come Rory didn't say goodbye to Paris? What will happen to Kirk now, what will his next stunt be? What will Rory do with the rocketship?
I know I sound crazy, they are all just characters in a fake show. But, after seven years they seemed like more. And I will miss them.

An Open Letter to Hollywood
Dear [Insert Crazy "Celebrity" Name Here]:
I would like to start off my letter by saying you're stupid. I'm sorry, it's the truth. You ARE stupid. I don't think it's the actions so much, as it is what you think will happen because of said actions. Actually, no -- it's the actions, too. Let's formulate a couple of "If A then B scenarios" to help you grasp the concept. I'll start off easy:
* If you shave your head, you will be bald
* If you don't shower, you will smell
* If you don't eat, people will think you are anorexic
* If you drink too much, you will be drunk
* If you drive while drunk and get caught, you will be arrested
I'm just covering the basics of the headlines I see EVERY week. You think you would catch on? Fake Hollywood rehab where you can meet your next baby's mama or papa doesn't count as real therapy -- you need it, go get some. The next time you want to go out the club for some photo ops -- hire a freaking driver! I know you can afford it. Try buying one less diamond necklace for your dog, it'll cover it. And finally, if you decide to ignore all my sane advice -- deal with the consequences. Trust me, they would be a lot worse for the average citizen.
I know some of you out there are actually intelligent, generous and talented people, but unfortunately you're being brought down by the dumb ones. Maybe it's time for a backlash?
Sincerely,
Concerned Average Jane
