..that correspond neatly to occurrences in my life. For example:
If you were to watch Season 4, ep 20 of Toddlers & Tiaras, you would see a pretty decent example of how I and my sisters used to behave. There are two sisters, ages 10 & 8, who compete in the same pageant. Note the younger being more boisterous, the older more prone to hurt feelings, the forced competitiveness. Ignoring the whole pageant thing, watching their behavior together, is like a day in taken from the pages of my childhood. I guess it's nice to know that it's "normal", that other sisters also fight like we used to. But it's also a bit scary, thinking about if we ever have kids (and the odds are looking better, the more time goes by), and they happen to both be girls, how likely is it that they turn out little cranky heathens like this, like we were. At least in the end, we all wound up putting it behind us and became friends. I don't know what I'd do without them. Love you, Cora & Rachel!
Hemlock Grove, Season 1, ep 1. The gypsy boy explains to the author that the pentagram represents the four elements, and the fifth was for spirit. "Plus," he said, "it looks metal!" I like that. I'm stealing that.
