'Just because everything's changing, doesn't mean it's never been this way before'

[rdm_ation]

Let me begin by saying that I love 'Grey's Anatomy'. I really do. I'm one of those people who will watch it until it gets axed, no matter if that's another season or 10. Sometimes, I have no idea why I am so addicted to it. Yes, it can be funny, but it's not a comedy. It's a medical drama - and I'm not so good with blood... It is now so convoluted and soap-opera-esque that sometimes even I (a fan from the very beginning) can't follow it. But sometimes, just sometimes, it just gets it right.


This scene just struck me tonight. It was powerful.

(I think it's fairly self-explanatory - but if you want more background just ask)

I don't normally talk about this particular issue, mainly because I don't tend to bring topics up when I'm not entirely sure of my feelings. This doesn't help anyone, and I usually end up with my foot lodged firmly in my mouth. Having been brought up by fairly strict Christian parents (of whom at least my mother is vaguely homophobic), I have struggled between what some people within my religion would tell me, and what my heart tells me. Of course, my faith itself is constantly changing and evolving, and often this just leaves me confused. I thought I'd share this clip tonight because it resounds so clearly to me. Expressed much more eloquently than I could ever manage.

As a side note: I tend to avoid watching Grey's with my parents if I can help it, as sex scenes = AWKWARD. And there are a fair few in the show. Tonight, I wish I had watched it with them. Simply to see their reaction to that minute of footage.

On a different note, I feel like I'm already back at uni. Bye bye holidays. I'm such a bundle of conflicting emotions right now. I'm very excited, because in some senses I'm much more confident this year, but in some ways I'm just as lost. I'm quite nervous, because I know it's going to be full on until I can settle into a routine. That and the fact I've done no serious essay writing in a while. Most of all, today, I'm just frustrated due to some timetabling issues. I found out that both workshop and orchestra are hurdle requirements for practical study, which is fine as I want to do them. Except for the fact that every single rehearsal and workshop clashes with an Indonesian class. Every single one. At the moment I'm really hoping I'm good enough to get into the higher stream of Indonesian, which will mean no clashes. The only other option as I see it is to either defer the unit and choose something else (NOT FAIR) or drop down to beginner's Indo. Which would be boring as all hell, but at least I'd ace it. Music comes first. Well, hopefully I'll know on Thurday. Alright end rant. And end blog.

Callie has fairly recently discovered she's gay - previously had been married to George. Her very strict Catholic parents found out, and essentially disowned her. This episode, her father randomly shows up with a priest in tow to try and 'talk some sense into her'

Of course, being a tv show it has a warm and fuzzy ending after this...

Thanks! At least I know I'll be in an orchestra :D
Kinda nervous for tomorrow.
