Won't be around forever, girl

CAN we please talk about how much I love Community and how amazing last night's episode was. And, well. The whole show in general. And by God's good grace and also the internet, someone made download links of the songs. Omg Donglover Troy and Abed's Jehovah Witness Rap is the greatesssst I can't stop listening. I am so so bummed about this ~hiatus of uncertainty~ but I really think that since they won the fan favorite cover on the TV Guide magazine, that they'll at least finish out the season. And then I will possibly make blood sacrifices so a fourth season can be achieved.



Also, when we were up in Georgia, my sister and I marathoned Parks and Rec pretty much every night (omg the episode where the flu is going around and Leslie catches it, omg we almost peed ourselves), and seeing as how she's coming home for a while this coming Wednesday (YAY), we'll hopefully get all caught up. Comedy shows that actually make me laugh out loud? What is this madness.

As everyone who has ta-tas knows, October is breast cancer awareness month. It's important to me for a few reasons. In 2002, when I was in 10th grade, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. They caught it early, but not enough to escape both chemo and radiation. After the diagnoses, she got a short haircut. She never had hair that short before, so it was really cool to see. And then we all went wig shopping together. And the chemo itself... it sucked. A lot. My mom is an incredibly strong person, rarely got sick, was always on her feet doing anything and everything. After the treatments she was in bed for days and couldn't keep anything down. She never let my sister and me see her without her wig on. Once, I was walking by the bathroom that was open a crack and saw her for the first and only time completely bald, and it was such a punch in my gut.

A year and six months after the diagnoses she finally finished the treatments. She kept a journal for my sister and me, you know, just in case. Now she's well past her five year remission and doing just fine. My maternal grandmother had breast cancer twice - once in the 70's, where she had a single mastectomy, and once in the 90's, that was caught early enough that it only needed radiation. My paternal grandmother also just had breast cancer a few years ago, caught really early, so she only needed radiation. So to say my sister and I will be pretty darn alert is a bit of an understatement. So fondle yourself, for the good of your ta-tas.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I deeeefinitely bought tickets today to see Lady Gaga April 16th. Omgggg. I also DID NOT KNOW that Scissor Sisters would be opening for a lot of her concerts coming up, but they don't have their April calendar put up yet, but fjalewjia;ofadj GOD I HOPE THEY OPEN THEN. The fabulous glitter explosion of glee might be too much to handle.

I'm also slowly but surely working my way through the first season of Community. I LOOOOVE IT. The Halloween episode has been my favorite so far, because Pierce tripping balls and Batman!Abed almost made me fall out of the chair. And Troy and Abed can just continue to be awesome forever and ever, please.
