Yay for Liam!!! My older brother played ice hockey here in California and his primary practice was Friday night from 10:00-midnight. Then they did other ice time and conditioning. I would just sit in the parking lot with the other siblings and cause mischief. I love that his team hangs together. That is the cutest!!!

I studied Dorian Gray in a gender and sexuality class. Let me tell you how much that books changes when you view it under the lens of repressed homosexuality. Also, reading the footnotes about the original text changes the meaning of the book so much. The penguin black spine classic has the original lines which I think are integral to the theme.

i think i personally love the picture of dorian gray so much not only for the themes and ideas that the book brings up, but also how beautifully everything was written. most likely because oscar wilde was known as the father of the aesthetic movement- making art simply for the sake of it being/ looking pretty and i love that idea so much. every description of the flowers, clothing, expensive items, painting, even when it was long winded, was so enjoyable for me to read and felt like i was in the room with the characters. so so glad you read this book!!

I grew up watching Gilmore Girls, and I have very similar thoughts and feelings as you. As a teenager I was "team Rory," but as an adult I realized... she kinda sucks haha. A slight rewind though, I stopped watching GG as it was originally airing I think some time in season 6 or 7, because I just wasn't enjoying it as much. Sure I own all 7 seasons of GG on DVD, but I honestly only ever rewatch seasons 1-3. Sometimes I'll skip around in season 4, but that's kinda it. Ohhhh I know EXACTLY what you're talking about with Jackson, and. I having nothing nice to say about him or that messed up storyline. I'll also throw in that I never really liked where they took Lanes storyline, especially with Zack.

I haven't watched since the new season came out, which was very awful and I like to pretend it doesn't exist, so I don't remember how Jackson behaves but I think I'm ready to rewatch the original seasons again soon.

Hey! Im very excited for Liam and don't want to rain on your parade, but be cautious and pay attention to how Liam is treated by his teammates and coaches. I played hockey at a AAA level and it got very very toxic. So toxic that it has had a lasting impact on my self-esteem and made me withdraw from the Olympic path. Just pay attention to how much he gets played vs. how much the other kids get played (especially the coache's kids). Also be aware that a lot of the times there's a lot of bs politics going on within the parent/coach circle that can get some kids benched by no fault of their own. Im really sorry that that was so grim, but I don't want Liam to go through the same thing I did!
