My new guilty pleasure: Gossip Girl

Hello all! I know I seriously slacked on blog posts last month. I had high hopes for the month of October and it just didn't turn out the way I had planed. But its a new month so I am happy to start fresh.

Before I get to this post I just want to mention hurricane Sandy. I live in the area ( the northeast) that was affected. I was very fortunate where I live. The only thing I have had to deal with because of the storm is loss of a paycheck this week because where I work has not had power. I have been following the news  and know how much worse it has been for so many people. I just want to say my thoughts are with all the people and families affected.

So since I have been out of work and home all week I basically had a Gossip Girl marathon. I had started watching this show earlier in the month on Netflix. Over this past week I have completely caught up to the current season (which I am sad to find out is its last :( ).  I love this show! I don't know why I didn't start watching it sooner. Especially since I used to read the books when I was younger.

Here is a random list of my thoughts on the show:

• My favorite characters: Dan aka lonely boy, some of the funniest scenes involve his character. For example, when he was a cater waiter at Eleanor Waldorf 's and he had to pretend he was there as Serena's date. Also in the opening episode of this season when him and Georgina take the road trip to find Serena. Plus Penn Badgley is hot! Chuck, everyone loves a bad boy enough said. I will add however that I like how they have showed how his character has matured over the years. The same can be said for another one of my favorite characters Blair. I didn't like her character that much in the early seasons but she has changed while still keeping enough of her old self to keep things interesting. Blair's housekeeper Dorota, who also provides many comical moments. Georgina, who I hated in the first season, is now a character I can't see the show without. She doesn't hide the fact she likes to scheme and mess with people and I like that.


• My least favorite characters: Jenny, in the first season you kinda feel sorry for Jenny, Blair is pretty awful to her after all. But as the seasons continue I don't feel sorry for her anymore, I just find her annoying and mean. I was not that sad to see her leave the series. Another character that has left and I don't particularly miss is Vanessa. I feel like she never quite fit in, but then again I guess that was the point of her character. Ivy and her whole story line I was never a fan of. I understand they needed to replace Jenny and Vanessa and bring in another character since they left the show. In the current season it kinda weirds me out that she is hooking up with Dan's dad.


• I love the fashion! I love the edginess of Serena's wardrobe and the contrast of that to Blair's classic style. I really wanna dress up like Blair for a costume party. I wish I had some of her gorgeous dresses in my closet.


• Blair and Chuck as a couple. I have been rooting for Blair and Chuck as a couple since the first season. As much as I liked Blair with Dan, Chuck is her soul mate. Something always seems to get in the way though of them being together. They better end the series with them being together (its like Ross and Rachel from Friends its just meant to be).


• Gossip Girl herself. I like the added narration of the show by Gossip Girl. I really hope they do the big reveal on who Gossip Girl is before the series ends. I think everyone will be upset if they don't.

Do you watch this show? If so what are your thoughts? Leave me a comment below or talk to me on Twitter: @inthemomentt12. I would love to talk Gossip Girl with anyone.

Till next time. :)

XOXO,

Amber :D ( I had to)

P.S. I forgot to mention how awesome it was that Gabe from Cobra Starship had a cameo in the last episode of season 5!
