Looking back on the things that found me / Places I would never choose

We are crushed and created
Melted and made
Broken and built up in the very same way.

1) I have discovered a new TV addiction, courtesy of my Netflix Instant Queue. It's called "Make It Or Break It" and it's about four teen gymnasts training to be National/World/Olympic champions. It was inspired by the movie "Stick It." It ran on ABC Family for three seasons and just ended this year. I just finished the first season today and it amazes me just what sort of emotional draw this show has for me.

Also, as someone who's lived without cable most of her life (except the dorms for 2 years because it was free there), it really thrills me that for $8, I can watch shows I might never have known about or seen.

2) This Saturday, July 28th, 2012, marks the 9th anniversary of me being the proud owner of this LJ. This blog has truly transformed my life and I'm so grateful for the friends I've made, the stories I've shared, the life that I've documented.

I will definitely be doing something to celebrate this achievement since the last LJ anniversary that I even paid attention to was for my 6th (which, by the way, was awesome.) Odds are that I will probably do some sort of LJ-love post, but we'll see where the mood strikes. :D

Happy Anniversary!!!!

I am thrilled that LJ allowed me to meet and get to know you because you've been a marvelous and extraordinary addition to my life. I hope I have the privilege of knowing you for many years to come. *loves*

Nine Years! My goodness. Time does fly......I feel old.

Netflix is wonderful.

You know...I should wish you a happy belated anniversary. I jumped onto this bandwagon because of you. :P

Netflix truly rocks.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

I hope the same.
*love you*

Haha. I'll admit after your post I went to look. I joined up in June. I guess I'll have to flag next year and do a 10 year anniversary special.

I've been with my lj longer than my marriage.

Cable definitely offers lots of great shows. I've seen commercials for "Make It or Break It" when I used to watch "Secret Life of an American Teenager". I finally got fed up with it this season and stopped watching. But my new ABC Family show (as of last season) is "The Lying Game". Adrian Pasdar and Charisma Carpenter are on it.

Happy LJ Anniversary!

I'm glad you discovering new shows!

Make It or Break It! God, I didn't even watch the third season of the show, but I remember being crazy about it for the first season. Sasha, the head coach, was really hot.

Wow, I can't believe it's been nine years! I remember your sixth anniversary on LJ, which means we've known each other for 3 years now. MAN, TIME FLIES.

I've been with LJ slightly longer than I've been with Nick though Nick I will be celebrating 9 years together in December.

I've heard of "The Lying Game," but I haven't watched it yet.

I only just started season 2 of "Make It Or Break It," but I loved loved loved Season 1. Plus, it has Candace Cameron-Bure in it. :P

Me too!

Netflix Instant can be awesome in that way.

I knew it! I knew you would be the person who had watched this show. :)

Sasha is really hot. :) I love when he punched Marty's lights out.

My sixth anniversary was quite fun. I'm glad we've known each other this long.

I knew it! I knew you would be the person who had watched this show. :)

Peri Gilpin from Frasier was on it, I felt an obligation to watch a few episodes. And also, that guy from the seminal TV show Flight 29 Down ALSO was on it, so I kept watching for him and the really good looking Sasha Fierce.

I am a shallow viewer.
