Happy Thanksgiving Eve

EVENTS

Thanksgiving eve is one of the biggest celebrations of the year.  It is a night to go out and see all your friends that live out of town.  It is so exciting to see who is home!  During our years in college, Thanksgiving eve was big, I mean BIG.  We would all be home for the holiday and we would all go out the night before Thanksgiving.  Now the best part of this night is that you never know who you are going to see.  It is so exciting!  It is like high school reunion/parties all together in one.

So this year I would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving Eve. 
Have Fun!

Where did you go to school?

Where did you go to school?  In Maryland it is not where you went to college that we are asking about, it is where you went to high school that matters.  Here in Maryland we care to know about where you went to high school in order to find common people that we will know and to get to know you.  Certain high schools have reputations that reflect them and people will compare people according to their high school.
Now I am not really sure why this is, I think it is to really compare you to others (sad I know).  It has always been that way and people not from here don't understand why we care about high school so much.  I hate to say it, but going to certain high schools means different things.  You can tell a lot about a person from where they went to school.

 
  
The basic choices in MD are private, catholic, and public.  Now we are all friends with each other and have grown up together.  Baltimore is a small place.  We have friends that are in private, catholic, and public and we all hang out together, but people still ask where did you go to school.  People tend to believe that certain schools hold better reputations, which in some ways is true. 
Now just the other weekend I was out with some friends (we all didn't go to the same high school) and someone came up to me and we were talking for a little.  Soon we got to the normal Maryland conversation.  "Where did you go to school?" they asked.  I replied and from then on the conversation changed.  They didn't care for my high school.  I decided to ask where they went and after finding out the answer I then understood.  The conversation was not the same from that point on.
Now why do we do this?  Why are we putting people in categories due to their high school?  That I don't know.  Like I said, I have friends from all schools and we all get a long just fine.  But for some reason, every once and a while you will meet people who either love you for where to when to school or really dislike you for where you graduated from. 
 Oh Baltimore, you are confusing sometimes.

My Shows

HER

I have had favorite television shows since my Wednesday nights were booked with Dawson's Creek.  People knew not to call me until the show was over.  I remember when the last episode aired and when it was over, I didn't believe it.  Something that I would go out of my way and watch every week ending.  What was I supposed to do on Wednesday nights?  It was the end, but I lived.
Now, as I grow older I have new shows I love to sit down to watch and with things like On Demand and recording we can watch when we want.

The following are the shows I am currently watching this season.
 
1.  My new favorite show is American Horror Story.  I started this show late in the first season.  I will be honest I was kind of scared to watch alone.  (Weird for me because I love scary movies and shows, but alone? I don't know)


 I truly fell in love with this show.  Last season was crazy and this season just leaves me with more and more questions.  I watch every Wednesday on time!  I put on my comfy clothes and get ready to watch at 10 P.M. every Wednesday.  I am addicted and having to wait 2 weeks until the next episode is a little upsetting.  So many questions that are left unanswered, they leave me hanging on every week.
2.  2 Broke Girls is another show I tune into on Monday Nights.  I started watching this show because a good friend of mine and I would love to own a cupcake shop.  I stuck to watching it because it has some good laughs and that's just what I need on a Monday night.
3.  How I Met Your Mother is a long time on and off show for me.  I have watched reruns and new episodes and still enjoy it.  I think this show is a good mindless show to watch.  Plus it is another Monday night laugh.  
4. Housewives of Beverly Hills is a must for me.  I have really enjoyed most of the Housewives, but this is a show I will usually catch up on when I have time.  Plus, Bravo replays them and they are On Demand.  I just live for the drama these girls start.
So with the weather getting colder I believe it is nice to settle in for the night, get comfy, and watch a good show.
What are some of your favorite past or present?
