I'm kind of famous

So, this happened today:


Yes. Yes. This is real life. The creators and stars of NBC's now comedy Best Friends Forever retweeted me and one of them is following me!!11!!one!!11!!!1

I adore their show like nobody's business because I love NBC and females and comedy and they use improv to write their show. It's just awesome seeing people getting their own show because I just think maybe one day it will be me and some random teenage girl will fangirl when I retweet and follow them or whatever social media is called by the time I get a show.

I just watched the cast of 30 Rock on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and it was awesome. Their live show is tomorrow. I love everything.

A poem of love to NBC

Oh NBC, how can it be?
From 30 Rock to Community,
you always know how to make me happy.

Though I am but a girl,
with my intentions very strong,
I do not think our love is wrong.

You make me laugh,
you make me cry,
but as long as you're around I may never wish to die

It may be strange,
People may never understand,
I just want to hold your hand.

I hope you will wait for me,
I pray you'll be here to stay,
I just want to meet you one day.

In time I'll be making millions laugh,
I'll thank you for never turning your back,
my love for NBC is something that will never lack.


This has been a love poem 
to a television network.

She seems to be thoroughly enjoying my journal so far which makes me very happy.

P.s. I just realized that the shape of this is awesome. It looks like a girl. I AM THE POEM.

Community

The best part of any show is the unlikely friendships. In 30 Rock you have Jack and Liz, in Parks and Recreation you have Leslie and Ben, in Chuck you have Casey and Morgan. Every show has them.

I started watching Community. I'm only 8 episodes in, but I only started watching tonight. It's a pretty good show so far. I started watching it because it's on at 8 on Thursdays on NBC. Now my Thursdays can start at 8 instead of 8:30. I think for the future.

Community is about people attending a community collage. The cast is so diverse, which leads to so many unlikely friendships. You have the sassy black lady who is friends with the young overachieving white girl who is friends with a football star who is friends with a TV obsessed guy who is friends with a creepy old man who is friends with a charismatic lawyer who is friends with a girl named Britta, like the filter. Together they make their Spanish study group.

It's a funny show. I have a weird sense of humor. I usually like smart funny with a shit load of satire. I like flashbacks, and one-liners, and snappy comebacks. I was thinking about how I can go a whole movie or show without actually laughing out loud, but still find it funny. Is that normal? I don't laugh at a lot of things it seems. Like YouTube. I almost never actually laugh at YouTube videos, but I will still find it funny and worth watching.

I also have the ability to watch the same episode of a show, or a movie, or read a book, over and over again. Like, my favourite episode of 30 Rock is called Retreat to Move Forward. I watched it again yesterday. I have seen it like 10 times and it doesn't bother me that I can say the lines with the characters, if anything, it makes it more enjoyable. That goes for any show. Flu Season is my favourite Parks and Recreation episode, I also watched it again yesterday. I have seen it like 10 times too. I would watch the both again today.

The more I watch something, the more I like it. I don't care if I know what happens. You just enjoy it in the moment.



I just learned that Late Night with Jimmy Fallon will not be new for two weeks. TWO FULL WEEKS WILL NO JIMMY.


Pictures show my emotions. I hope you like them. Now, back to more Community and SNL.

Late night television

As a lover of TV and an insomniac, I tend to watch a lot of late night TV. Every weeknight from 12:37am to 1:37am I watch Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Later then this I catch an episode of Friends, or The Office, or what ever is on. These wonderful shows are not what I have come to rant about.

The commercials.

I can't stand late night commercials. Those fucking commercials where they get a bunch of hot, boobs falling out of their shirts, blonde, baby voiced, women to prance around pretending to look sexy on the phone so desperate men will call and pay money. To talk. To a fake lady. Those ones where it is like 'local singles' and 'easy meet-ups' make me want to die. They should have a disclaimer about whoring around, because let's face it, this is not to get to know a person.

I wonder how these things stay in business. Do any actual women call? If they do, they must be very popular. I kind of want to call one day, just to see if it's like instant phone sex with some creepy forty-year-old married man that's hiding in his garage so no one will hear him, or if it's just like, hey, what's up, I'm Jack, for legal reasons that is not my real name, meet me at this address in ten.

The whole idea of it pisses me off and the fact that they play the commercial every five seconds pisses me off more. This brings me to my next point.

The Network.

Late Night With Jimmy Fallon is aired on NBC. Since NBC is an American network, I get transferred to a Canadian network that is also airing it. I would be fine with this if it was Global or CTV or one of the other bigger, Canadian networks, but no. It's called A Network, whatever the hell that means. It is like super ghetto and I hate it. The graphics are bad. The commercials are horrible.

Another commercial that plays a lot is an ad for a wall clip that you can put your tissue box on. The ad shows how if the box is on a counter, babies can wreak havoc on it or it can fall in a toilet. Like shit man, my tissues need a better place to live! Sure, in some ways I can find this useful. But it is ugly. There are these two, metal clips that you have to nail onto your wall. The commercial shows, with abuse, how easy you can smash your box onto the clips and how it is just as easy to take the box off. But what about the hanger? No, it's there forever.

You can tell this old man was fed up with his tissue box falling in the toilet, so he bent some metal and drilled it to the wall. His daughter came over and was like, "Daddy! You is so smart man! Sell this! THE WOLD NEEDS TO KNOW!" This is probably the only ad time they could afford, on the ghetto network. It's quite sad. I hope they sell a lot. That is all their investments. That is their future. (Also, they had a bunch of different tissue brands, that they probably didn't have permission to use, maybe they will get sued.)

It is worth it though, to be able to enjoy Jimmy Fallon.

I FOUND THE COMMERCIAL!


No hate, give it some love. Like it. It had 18 views when I found it. It needs love. Maybe we can kill it with kindness.

I wrote the first comment, it says: I see this commercial like 90 times when I'm watching Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. It really brightens up my late night TV experience.. Thank you. Your product seems very useful.

They better appreciate it.

Wait, this is actually really fucking weird. It was uploaded on the 9th. So, like yesterday. And I decide to write about it today!? Ahh. I know too much!
