Apr. 21 16 and Pregnant: This show has really had an effect on me. It's on the 4th season and the episode is about a girl named Jordan. Surprisingly, the ep was okay. She got pregnant because she said she wasn't on the pill long enough for it to work.
I have talked to a doctor and a pharmacist and they both told me that I would have to be on it for at least 7 days before it would work. So in Jordan's case, maybe she took the pill for less than a week and then had sex. Maybe she used a condom with the pill and it broke.
Jordan has a twin sister named Jessica, their dad left them after they were born. Their mom raised them for 2 yrs and they were given to their grandparents to be raised. When they were 9 they were officially adopted by them. When they were 15, they dropped out of high school to become models and were successful. Jordan and her sister are very close. Jordan quit modeling and went to get her GED, and Jessica followed because "they do everything together." Jordan had gotten pregnant by then.
I have got to give props to Jordan's boyfriend Brian. He was good looking, but the important thing is that he was nice and caring. He was going to go away to college, but he decided to go to community college instead to stay close to Jordan and their baby. B also got a job as a cook. B didn't get along with Jessica, because they were doing a tug of war with Jordan.
B didn't want Jessica in the delivery room, but after some talking with all three of them, B decided to let Jessica in when Jordan will give birth. Though B and Jessica didn't get along, I didn't think either of them were really mean to each other. Cut to the ultrasound:
B: I was the one who gave the Y- chromosome.
Jessica: How do you know the Y- chromosome is yours?
Jordan: Jessica.
Jessica was being passive- aggressive. She wasn't dissing her sister for sleeping with another guy because Jordan didn't. Jessica wanted to make a joke (passive), but she was aggressive because she wanted to hurt B. She didn't want B to move in with them because then he would cut into the sister's time with each other.
When the baby was born, cut to B and his eyes crinkled like he was crying. I got a little choked up during that part. B described the birth as intense.
Twop:
Someone on Twop: Seriously. When I watch this show every week, I am rooting for adoption EVERY DAMN TIME. And it makes me understand how my friends who are Bills and Lions fans feel when they watch games every Sunday. Every once in a while, you see some glimmer of doubt from the girl or from her boyfriend, and you're thinking - if only someone was there to tell them that they didn't have to do this! I don't think adoption was even mentioned this ep, and I still kept hoping.
Me: Yeah, I know. My favorite episodes are Catelynn from season 1, Lori from season 2, and Ashley from season 3 because they all gave their babies up for adoption. I guess the only girl/ episode I like where they keep the baby and raise it on their own is Lizzie from season 2. She lived in a big house, graduated out of high school, and had a supportive family so I wasn't rooting that she would give the baby up for adoption.
Now I would add Brooke from season 3 because of the high school diploma and supportive family. I'll now throw in Jordan from season 4.
Paternity test: On twop, I was reading about 16&P on Christinna.
Person (paraphrase): I was glad when Isiah's family wanted Christinna to take the paternity test and C got up and left. I have bad in-laws and if you submit to one demand, they will keep demanding more from you.
Me: I never thought of that. I wanted C to do the test. So then she could say: "Ha, ha! In your face you are the father!"
Someone on twop said what I said. Maybe because that's what often happens on the Maury show though I quit watching it years ago.
Saying: On twop someone said: "loving a son and raising a daughter." That means you don't teach or raise your son, you are only nice and go easy on him.
Apr. 22 Matthew Gray Gubler: I was on the internet and my sister was watching the movie The Great Buck Howard.
S: That guy looks familiar, do you know what that is?
Me: It's Matthew Gray Gubler from Criminal Minds.
That's a nice surprise.
Apr. 23 Law of attraction: I was thinking about being passive- aggressive in my last email. Then I see the girl Jessica being that way on 16&P. During that show, they aired My Life as Liz where they use that term again.
Coincidence: I'm going to say this is coincidence and not law of attraction. I was watching Criminal Minds ep "Hanley Waters" and the Lie to Me actress Kelli Williams was on. This was the first time I have seen her in something different, and without any make up on.
I was watching Castle, and I see Lie to Me actor Brendan Hines on it. This is the first time I have seen him in something different. Both shows aired in the same week.
News: I read in the news a few weeks ago about how this porn actress was also working as secretary at a school. She got fired because of her side job in adult films. That reminds me of an episode of the Tyra Banks show. She interviewed straight men who do gay porn. I think his name is Kurt and he talked about working at Subway. He told his employer about it, and they were cool with it.
Later customers said they aren't going to go there anymore because of Kurt and his job in adult films. Subway had to fire him. I feel sorry for both of them. I would understand if it's a school. If I was a parent or teacher, I wouldn't want a male or female porn star working at the school. Maybe it would be okay at a college because the youngest student is like 17. From what I read, it wasn't a college. A high school or jr. high.
That reminds me of Desperate Housewives and 90210 where a character recognizes someone from a porn film, so it's realistic. The secretary was recognized by a male student.
Transgender: The above brought a flashback when I was 10 yrs old and was watching Extra. There was a poll: "Would you let a transgender teacher teach at your school?" I also recently read it in the 24 newspaper about a transgender teacher who got fired for having a sex change.
When I was 10, I was wary of having a transgender teacher. Now I'm 25, and I'm like fine with it as long as this person is a good teacher.
Sexual harassment: I was watching Degrassi, the part 2 ep of sexual harassment. Anya said a line that really stood out to me. She said it to the guy who was harassing her.
Anya: You don't get to cop a feel and say we're too sensitive.
Yeah, that's right.
Domestic violence: Also on Degrassi, Fiona takes her ex- boyfriend Bobby to court for being abusive. Bobby's new girlfriend testified in the cross- examination.
F's Lawyer: Did he hit you?
Pause.
B's girlfriend: Well one time at a party I was talking to this other guy. Later Bobby slapped me- just a little.
F won in court and got $250,000. She also thanks the girlfriend. B gets anger management class.
