I've always liked snow. When you're younger, you make snowmen and snow angels, have snowball fights, and go sledding (no, wait, I did that this year too). But after a while I would get sick of it. It was great for Christmas, winter break, and snow days, but after January it just became depressing and a reminder that it was cold.
I don't feel that way anymore. I love the snow. It's pretty. At this time of year, if we didn't have snow we would just have wind and mud. The snow makes everything look nice. I like watching it come down too. It kind of has a calming effect. Don't get me wrong, summer is still my favorite season. You can't beat green grass and warm sun on your exposed skin, but all I'm sayin is that while the snow is here, I'm gonna welcome it.

Don't Die Izzie Stevens!
Having nothing to do, since I wasn't needed to babysit tonight, I started looking up Grey's Anatomy stuff. And OMG- why didn't I think of this before?! Years of me complaining about how none of my friends watch the show so I had nobody to talk to about it, but there are like a million message boards.
So a few episodes ago, was the whole "I'm here for you thing." To catch up all non-GA fans, Izzie had been spending a lot of time with Denny, her dead fiance (he was a patient in season 2). While Denny was there as a ghost, Izzie was having relationships with him (coitus), which was weird and confusing since she is going out with Alex. So she decides to be with Alex over Denny. After she tells him this though he won't go away. He can't and he tells her "I'm here for you" and that she's a doctor and she needs to figure it out. That episode ends with Izzie figuring it out- she's sick. That's what Denny meant. In case you're having problems with my explanation- dead fiance ghost telling you you're sick = not good.
In the next episode Izzie gets the interns to do tests on her, under the pretense that they are doing it for practice before they do it on real patients. Incompetent intern, Sadie (incompetence proven in next episode where she ends up quitting), gives Izzie her blood test back and all it says is that she's anemic, but the Sadie's real patient might have cancer. An episode later, Izzie is doing a craft project and can't find the scissors which are right in front of her face.
And that's all they say about it! Oh, stupid GA -Private Practice crossover is more important!
People on the internet are saying that Izzie might die. Katherine Heigel has implied publicly that she doesn't want to do the show anymore, and in kind of an insulting manner. This has lead people to believe that the writers are going to kill her off - most likely via brain tumor. However I found this quote from Shonda Rhimes, “I think the love triangle with Denny, Izzie, and Alex is among the most interesting we’ve ever done. Watching the chemistry between Jeffrey and Katherine again has been really touching. I can’t wait for our viewers to see where we’re taking it. But what it won’t involve is Izzie having a brain tumor.” *
Well, that's nice and all, but folks on the Internet are speculating something like, brain aneurysm, or something where even if she doesn't die, she'll be incapable of performing surgery and that will be her excuse for leaving the show. Now, personally I think the brain aneurysm thing is overdone and would not be a good storyline, but what if she leaves the show? Another idea is that maybe Sadie mixed up Izzie's test results with cancer lady. Sounds too predictable to me. Not only would I be upset if Izzie left the show, but I would be mad for them doing it in such a stupid way. Then I discovered this one yahoo answers:
"Here is my guess:
Denny kept telling Izzie, "You're a doctor. You figure it out. You're a scientist." I think that was his way of telling her to figure out that she has some sort of physical sickness, like a brain aneurysm, that causes her to see and feel hallucinations. Remember the episodes with Meridith and Derek's clinical trials? Some of the patients had intense hallucinations. Or even Eli Stone, he has an aneurysm that causes him to have intensely real hallucinations.
I think Izzie finally figured out that she is truly sick. Denny was telling her that he was there for her so that she would stop to think, "Why am I having hallucinations?" He wasn't trying to "be there for her" like a friendly emotional shoulder. He was there FOR her to realize that she was sick.
Again, just my guess."

After I read that I was like, omg- yes! hallucinations! It ties everything in and it would make the storyline more plausible.
I am so messed-up about this. I can't wait til Thursday for a clue, but it's gonna be another GA/PP one. Congrats to the show for keeping me on the edge of my seat (but in the meantime I'm going to go pull my hair out).
Anyway, I just hope that Izzie Stevens doesn't leave the show. She's one of the mainest characters and the show just wouldn't be the same without her. I would have a really hard time watching the show without her. There have been so many characters added Erica, Dr. Dixen, Lexie, Sadie, ped surgeon who's name I can't recall (and Callie, Addison, and Mark were early add-ons) , and so many who have left- Burke, Addison, Erica, and now Sadie. This show has had so many shuffled characters, which is ok I guess, it keeps it interesting, but at some point we fans just need people to be fans of, and that won't happen if nobody stays on the show. In my opinion Izzie can't leave because it would put a crack in the foundation of the whole show. Plus, the "character shuffling", is a crack, Burke leaving was a crack, ghost Denny was maybe not the smartest idea. I just don't want the show to crumble. I love the show too much. I stood by through all the craziness, and now that the show is back on it's feet plot-wise, I don't want it to fall again.

Donut wars
My sister's friends told her about a guy in one of their classes who gives them donuts everyday. Apparently, his parents own a Spunky Dunkers and they won't give him free donuts, so every morning he buys donuts from Dunkin Donuts. That's hilarious.

Getting high
I just watched the whole first season of Grey's Anatomy. Which, isn't that bad because it's only nine episodes, but anyway- those characters get high off their surgeries and fancy medical stuff. Me- I get high just from staying up late. I'm like almost addicted. Every Friday and Saturday, I have to stay up late. It's so lame but it's one of my favorite things to do. I don't get tired to the point where I'm hyper (although I admit that's also a fun sensation), but I get really tired and just ignore it. I like doing that- take that, body! You'll sleep when I tell you to sleep! The end result is like when runners push through the pain and get a runners high (leave it to me to compare my extreme laziness to a sport). Plus you never know what you could see on television at 4 am (by that point even the infomercials are interesting). Making myself really tired every weekend, is what I do to relax. I know it doesn't make sense, but it's the only time I get the tv to myself. It gives me a "high" (or you could call it minor sleep deprivation)- without the dangers or expense (cuz I don't have a job) of drugs. If I'm starting to sound crazy right now It's because I'm tired. But I like it.
