So, due to me unpacking, I discovered my old Degrassi: The Next Generation  bucket hat. That made me want to rewatch the show, so here are a random collection of thoughts I had as I rewatched all of season 1 an d 14 epis odes of season 2. I do think it's pretty cool that the show does pick up from an older show where the teens from the original show are now adults (some with teenagers of their own) Gosh, that opening song takes me back, but maybe we don't put the final logo on a teen girl's butt? Omg J.T. is the babiest of babies Toby, I was you as a kid--actually aware of danger It is too funny to hear the characters refer to the internet as "the net" In my head, these episodes were like 45 minutes instead of like 22...brain does weird things I guess I am so anxious as this creeper is trapping Emma Hell yeah, Snake, pin that creep up against a wall until the police get there I do find it interesting that the first kids we meet are from the younger group Toby, tha...

As you may have been able to tell from my posts "15 group costume ideas for Halloween 2026" and " 15 group theme costume ideas for Halloween 2026" , I am considering doing a group costume this year. But, who knows! Maybe I'll be solo, so here's me brainstorming:  Ariel from The Little Mermaid Bella Goth from The Sims Carmen Sandiego from  Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? Dolly Parton (I know I mentioned this on another post, but it'd still be fun) Duo from Duolingo Grave of the Fireflies (I'd wear like a tombstone skirt and put firefly stickers all over me) Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus A Mad Lib (I could carry around a sharpie for folks to fill in the blanks) Maryanne from The Chicks's song "Goodbye, Earl" (I could carry beans, poison, and a fake body in a tarp) Miss Piggy from The Muppets Nurse Christine Chapel from Star Trek: TOS Penelope Featherington/Bridgerton from Bridgerton Terri Irwin Wigglytuff, The Pokémon Wo...

Time for (the start of) the commitment ceremony?  Sarper, they put that sign there so that this exact situation doesn't happen I think Thais needs therapy (not a judgment!) It's really tough to be able to tell what Sumit actually wants It's pretty wild that they surprise the couples with the zipline Kara, I do feel the need to comment that ziplines shouldn't be "a leap of faith"--you should know it works I feel like the couples are getting scolded based on how they all have to sit on the ground and the therapists (who did not just do a cave trek and zipline) get chairs Shekinah, were you prompted to say the show name? Oof Pao...don't say you came to the resort to break up with Russ in front of everyone... Hey, are the therapists gonna correct what trauma bonding means? Like, a lot of people use it to mean people who bond because of shared trauma, but it actually means a powerful and unhealthy emotional attachment that develops between a person and someone ...

Something my therapist recommended recently is putting the questions I wish I could've asked my dad on a page (any page), so here goes.  Who were your friends and why did I never meet them? You were very smart. What did that add to (or take away from) your life? What made you know that you wanted to marry mom?  What made you know that it was time to end the marriage? Did you ever even consider taking me on a trip? If you did, why didn't we go? If you didn't, how come you took my brother on one? Did you have fun with us when we were kids? What did you enjoy doing with us? You once told me that having kids was the best decision you ever made. Was that the truth? What were your wishes and hopes for me? Did you even have them? You wrote that your drinking made my brother and me worry. Do you think that's all it did to us? Do you think we didn't love you and thus suffered watching you suffer? Why didn't you show your family members support when they needed it most? I...

Time for part 1 of the tell all!  Mido, you're gonna get hit by a taxi Wait, Mido, do you want to be on Broadway now? You do know that's a different thing than being in Hollywood, yes? What is up with Josh's hat? Mallorie and Rasit seem cute, but I've heard some internet scuttlebutt Thomas, let Paula get ONE miniature thing Is Maxwell shirtless in bed on this video chat? Aw Edward seems genuinely excited to meet Josh Anabelle looks so good Wow I actually agree with Catie on one thing (Mido sucks) Catie, Josh is more attractive than Mido Ashia, did you (again) pick a dress you can't sit comfortably in? Ahhh now we know how to properly pronounce Rasit's name I thought Rasit and Brandon had become bros? Mallorie, Catie agreeing with you isn't the best sign Catie...I hate to break it to ya, but your castmates were talking to you about as gently as they could about your documented and admitted behavior Ashia, loosen the corset so you can actually sit Yeah of cour...
