Readers!!

I’m just letting you all know that I’m probably not going to report to my blog any longer (I might once in a while if I have time). This was a project for my Intro to Computers class in school, and since school is almost out (YAY) I will be having fun in the sunnnn and wont have much time to maintain it! Also since the Gossip Girl season finale was a little while ago, I think I should (if I choose to return) come back and write when NEW episodes are airing.

Before this blogging project I always just thought of a blog as an online diary and thought that I’d rather hand write a diary, rather than post it onto a blog, but now I understand that this community of bloggers is an informational experience; a chance to get your knowledge out to others. I think I have proved, what I thought something was, wrong. Me as a blogger I think is kind of all over the place, but now I for sure know all the different kind of blogs! The thing I love about blogs is that there is so much opinion in them. You can get to know someone just by what they blog about and how they write it.

The work load for me was kind of stressful because I wasn’t sure what to exactly write about at times=p. A downfall to blogs is that you aren’t sure which blogs have true information! And are viable. Another downfall is that the “blogosphere” is kind of hard to follow and find what you exactly want. I guess practice makes perfect…?

I think I do know a lot about my field of Gossip Girl! One) Because I have watched every episode and two) I actually know what other people’s opinions are about the show! There are many different views on the show, obviously=]. For this particular show, I think if you haven’t ever liked it then you never will.

The blogosphere I learned is extremely big and that there are actually a lot of people out there blogging! Blogs about all different kind of things, ranging from food, to dogs, to water polo. Blogs are a great way of communicating and learning and just getting out there!

“Gossip Girl” Always Tries to Make the Movie in It’s Head Resemble Reality

Now, I know we all got at least a little bit confused with the Gossip Girl flashback to Lily van der Woodsen as a teenager, just admit it.

There have been a couple “WTF?” moments and episodes… and yes, characters on the TV show; there as well (DUH) have been amazing moments and episodes… and yes, CHARACTERS on the TV show! =].

This blog post (here is the link)…:

…is extremely entertaining and brilliant! It was written by Chris Rovzar and Jessica Pressler. They made a huge list of scenes in the show and put a “Minus” or “Plus” next to each with a number beside the “minus” and “plus”: Ex: Minus 3 or Plus 5. They are tallied up at the end.

Here’s one of the bullets in the list:

• AND: Blair would obviously pick up on the prom-queen ruse from the very beginning. No change of social plans like that would be made without the Queen B’s knowledge, Plus, look at the other names on the list: Nelly Yuki, Terri Murphy, Nate Archibald, Mitchell Shepherd, and Daniel Colman. Nelly Yuki ‘s name on the list would have tipped her off from the very beginning, as would the absence of Serena. Plus, the girls couldn’t keep a straight face (part of why they were always second to Blair in the first place). No matter how distracted Blair was by her fantasy, she didn’t suddenly become dim-witted. Minus 5.

Even though the writers of this have mixed feeling about the show, ADMIT IT, it is an amzing blog post!
