1. I'm glad that Obama is making human rights an issue--he's planning on overturning "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", along with providing lots of other gay rights like civil unions that have all the same benefits as same-sex marriages.

2. He seems really concerened about the younger generations--something past presidents, besides minor education needs, haven't really concentrated on.

Okay, so.

I hate Lost. An awful lot.

Why have I waited so long to post this? 'Cuz I completely forgot that I had it. That's why.

I've got a myspace, people. It occupies my life.


ANYWAY.

So yeah. I (along with the rest of the world) watched "Greatest Hits" and about died myself at the end when Charlie didn't die. I recall jumping up and screaming, "CHARLIE ISN'T DEEEAD, CHARLIE ISN'T DEEEAD!" while doing a victory dance.

And then I realized the season finale hadn't happened yet, and Charlie was not out of the water yet (pun intended).

So I watched the finale (predicting pretty much every moment of it: "Oh, I bet Jack's going to kiss Juliet now. If he does, I'm going to puke. Yep, there he goes.") viligently, like any other Lost-obsessed fan.

And then he locked himself into the room. I started screaming, "They can't, they're not going to..."

And they did. They killed Charlie. I cried. Pretty damn hard, man. (Then I was like, "If that is Kate in that damn vehicle, I'm going to shoot myself." SURPRISE. IT WAS!) I didn't expect the whole "flash forward" thing, but y'know what? If Charlie's dead, I DON'T GIVE A...are we allowed to swear on these? I don't know.

So, here's the rub: plain and simple. I AM NEVER WATCHING LOST AGAIN IF CHARLIE ISN'T COMING BACK. And I don't just mean in flashbacks. That's shit, man. They promised us some Charlie/Claire sex, and did we get it? NO! We got Sawyer/Kate jungle sex, and Sawyer/Kate tent sex, WHICH I DON'T CARE ABOUT ONE BIT!

We've got two people on the island truely in love (Charlie and Claire), and then we've got the we-sort-of-love-each-other Sun and Jin, and then--of course, we've got the dreaded Sawyer-Kate-Jack-Juliet love quadrilangle. (RING DING DING: ANYONE REMEMBER THE Ana Lucia kind of liked-Sawyer who kind of liked-Kate who kind of liked- Jack who kind of also liked- Ana Lucia?)

So, because of course just EVERYONE loves a good soap opera, they decided to deja vu us, and give us another love square. I could tolerate it when I had my Charlie/Claire fix to get me by. Without them, no. No effin' way.

So if Desmond doesn't go back and time and save him, or if Charlie doesn't grow gills and survive, or if some other random shit doesn't happen and Charlie doesn't come back, I'm done with Lost. It's been my favorite show since Season 1, BECAUSE of Charlie. BECAUSE of Dominic Monaghan.

I'm going to watch the first few episodes to see what's going to happen. No more Charlie, no more watch-y.

First Post

Exciting.




I'm done.
