How wonderful life is, now that Glee is back in the world!

Ahhhh, the season 2 premiere of Glee was amazing!!! I'm not going to say anything, because I don't want to spoil anything, but OHMYGOD it was sooo good. Next week's episode is dedicated to Britney Spears, and I'm SO EXCITED.
Okay, enough Glee spazzing.
In costuming today, we learned how to thread a sewing machine and do hand stitching. I was good with the hand stitches because I mend clothing and stuff with stitches all the time, but man, when I had to use the sewing machine, I wanted to throw it against the wall. I'm just rubbish at using it and all my practice stitches turned out awful, even the straight lines. xD I was starting to feel really domesticated, like a woman from the 30's or something, since there is like 10 girls in the class and one guy, and I wasn't liking it. I'm not an extreme feminist, but god knows I'll kick anyone who says my place is in the kitchen or something.
Anyway, I'll probably get used to the sewing machine, but today I hated it.
I finally finished MockingJay last night. There was a lot of sobbing going on. The book was just so tragically ironic in a way, and then just tragic in general. Most of my favourite characters died, and even though I knew in like...the second book in the series, that, if it came down to choosing between Gale and Peeta, I knew Katniss would end up with Peeta in the end, but I was so strongly Team Gale until the very end.... Almost every page turn revealed something unexpected, and I want to give Suzanne Collins the biggest hug in history for making me believe in a series of books again, seeing as I am still very much in post-Potter depression.  If you haven't read them....I'm sorry that I kind of spoiled a tad bit, but you should really read them. They're brilliant books. The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and MockingJay.
One of my favourite quotes definitely has to be

"...collective thinking is usually short lived. We're fickle, stupid beings with poor memories and a great gift for self-destruction."

Because it's so true. These books are so true to the human character and nature, and shows us at our worst. Will we end up self-destructing ourselves? Though life is not as cruel as it is in the Hunger Games, the books definitely do a fine job showing that we are so capable of turning the world into that. It shows the absolute worst in human nature, but also it's ultimate best. It's true to loss, and it's true to love, and most of all, it makes us believe in the strength deep down in ourselves to fight for our rights.

I think that's all I have to say about today.
OH! My epically epic awesome nerd shirt came today!!!


It's a TARDIS and a DeLorean!! (Doctor Who and Back to the Future) I love it so much because A) They're both time machines, and B) They are both operated by men who call themselves "Doctor". :] 

Good night, have a good Wednesday.
