i absolutely LOVE the smell of laundry mats. idk why, it's just so....clean.
i don't think a lot of people ever really get the oppurtunity to do their laundry in one either. it's fun, relaxing, you can chill, watch tv, talk to other laundry-doers. idk really.
i guess growing up in apartments and condos and duplex's there's not really much room for a washer and dryer, so you go to your little complex's laundry mat or just go to the closest one once or twice a week and throw your laundry in.
buses, subways, taxis, all other places to meet random people. mostly when you ride everyone minds their business, and you don't really talk. but if you happen to listen to another's conversation or eavesdrop or whatever, you actually meet really interesting people.
it's not like people take the bus because they want to. sure if someone had a car it would be that much easier. it's not like people want to do their laundry in a laundry mat and pay $2.00 to use the washer, when if they had the room and money they would have their own washer and dryer. shashkdhaskdhas. idk where i'm going with this.
even if you're rich and live in a big house and wash your laundry at home all your life, one day go to a laundry mat. buy the little box of detergent and meet some people.

withdrawing from tv
I absolutely HATE this part of the year.
You've gone all summer after watching all of your season finales and now you have to wait weeks until your shows start back up again.
Or in some cases you have to wait until December, or January.....
Yet adds are already out EVERYWHERE showing you stuff you won't be able to watch for another 6 weeks. Talk about annoying. I feel like I'm withdrawing since I have absolutely nothing to watch in the meantime. Summer shows finished up this week, and now all that's on is reruns, previews, commercials, and nothing. My DVR is broken so it's not like I can go replay those shows in the meantime. Nopeeee. I think each person should be able to take a tv, program the stations and shows they like, and those should play regardless of what time of the year it is.
My sister and I have a little schedule above the tv, with each day of the week, the shows that play, their times, and the date they start.... I think right now the earliest is september 27th which isn't that far but it is. that means two more thursdays with nothing to watch.
I'm antsy and impatient and what sucks even more is that the shows I really really want to watch don't start until 2008. Some seasons are sooo dumbbbbbbb.

"gay" TV
will & grace
queer as folk
south of nowhere
degrassi
the l word
out of practice
the o.c.
the office
desperate housewives
nip/tuck
[I know there's tons more, these are just the ones I like]
All most of my favorite sh0ws, all accounting for the 7 hours or so of TV I watch each week, all including at least 1 GLBT character.
I find it hilarious reading up on the posts and blogs about these shows, the endless bullitens, debates, magazine articles, online stuff etc. I remember after South Of Nowhere premiered, about two episodes into it there was a HUGE post about whether or not the show was "turning people gay". Yeah, and watching Tempation Island turns us all straight, right?
Hahahaha. When "Palex" originated on Degrassi, I think many viewers themselves started to question simply by watching the character they look up to *gasp* change. Mischa Barton's character, Mirissa, on The O.C., went through her bisexual phase where she was involved in a lesbian affair, which lasted long enough for them to move in with each other then suddenly realize she was still in love with Ryan. The infamous Jack and Karen on Will & Grace both we're outspoken and reserved while so comfortable with their life.
The whole thing is amazing. It's like there can be groups of people who are so against everything and hate the concept and are hardcore christian/republican whatever but they will sit and watch these show's and not say anything. It's like the T.V. has some power over them, or just shows that people are people and nothing more, and maybe those protesting should chill.
AHhh anyways it cracks me up. Also, watching the L word with my gramma is pretty priceless.
