Degrassi "Everything You've Done Wrong" Episode Discussion

learned:

* if i had to list everything i've done wrong, i'd type forever...which might be a good thing...it'd keep me distracted from doing other things i'd have to then put on the list.

* the placebo effect doesn't work. i used to buy a whole mess of expensive weight-gain-powder canisters from GNC. i thought in my head all those shakes were truly adding muscle to my thin frame. they didn't. turns out it might as well have been regular chocolate-milk powder. whole thing was a waste of time and money.

* take it from me, anyone who's reading this: don't lie. don't start with a lie, start with the truth. Shakespeare was right, once you lie, you're doomed, because it's impossible to keep covering the initial lie up. you start to become proficient in lying. you start to lie about everything, even stupid stuff you should never lie about. you end up like me, blogging instead of going outside.

* i'm really liking Chewy as the comic relief, he's doing a great job in that role, the annoyingly oblivious act hasn't worn thin yet. although: talk to me after his requisite wearing of a Chewbacca costume in the Halloween episode to see where things stand...

* "i'm many things, Clare, but actress is not one of them." that line was so meta, it gave me chemo brain.

* i dunno, YOLO is a weak mantra for the post-millennials. it doesn't take reincarnation into account for one thing. also, we Gen-Xer '90s kids were much cooler in our plaid and our "oh well, whatever, nevermind."

* "i'm gonna do this ridiculous downward-dog thing until i can be confident enough to show my butt in the front row..."
