ALLAN!!!!!!!!!

So here's this funny story. Well, it's kind of funny, I thought it was. :) I start writing my blog posts out in my head, and my first line was going to be "Funny title for a post right?" And then the sentence got mixed up in my head (don't blame me too much, I am Caroline, after all :P) and came out as "Funny tist for a potle, right?"

I do make myself laugh sometimes. :) That wasn't supposed to sound like bragging, but hey, it's not healthy to take yourself seriously. So laugh at yourself, or laugh at me. It's quite good medicine actually =D

Anyways! Got sidetracked again. So yeah, that's a funny tist for a potle. Now where were we? Oh, right!

ALLAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quite literally the best character in BBC Robin Hood anndddd one of my all-time favorites. That's right, he gets a very honored spot in Caroline's Character Hall of Fame! (Hey...that's actually a good idea)

So for the post hour or what I've been reading a RH blog and watching videos from season three. Are there better ways to spend my time? Yes. I admit it, so don't go all balistic on me. :P Here is what I have to--no, what I must--say about season three:

IT STINKS.

I can imagine the show's writers and producers just sitting in their little room with pieces of paper, cackling evilly about axing killing off one of the show's biggest characters and then writing out of the show two of the other best characters. Oh, and while we're at it, we might as well kill off the BEST guest star RH has EVER had! Why don'tcha!

(that's only at the end of season two. End of season three is a train wreck. What, three or four of the most amazing characters killed? About that?)

Alright, I know, it's only a tv show. But more than a tv show...it's a story. A story that gets to my heart, because I love these characters. Robin and the gang feel like my family. I've known them for so long (only about a year, but it feels like a long time). It's like your favorite book or movie, or your favorite show. It's more than just that. It's something we can relate to and that inspires us, just like any other great story. That does make sense? Probably not. I'm not very eloquent.

Thankfully, and yes I mean thankfully, they aren't making a season four. I can only sigh in relief. After the complete mess they made of season three and its ending, it's definitely for the best.

(oh, and why did this particular character who shalt not be named in case you ever watch it which you really should cause it's amazing have to be killed? It couldn't have been Tuck who is honestly one of the worst characters I have ever come in contact with? *gags* Nopeee. It had to this guy.)

It's 8:20 and I still haven't eaten dinner, so I should be signing off. It feels good to get that out of my system. But before I go, here's what I posted on my Buzz tonight:

ALLANNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that pretty much sums it all up. That, and, the writers/producers of series three were morons. My feelings? Season three is NOT real Robin Hood. It doesn't deserve to be. That right goes to series one and two...can't be beat. Series three quite frankly ruined the show and ruined Allan and pretty much everyone, and Kate is....Kate is grr. That's all I'm gonna say. But series one and two? They bring back such good memories...Robin and Marian and Guy and the Sheriff and Much and Little John and Allan and Will and Djaq. Call me obsessed, I don't mind. :)
I've been looking at RH stuff like the past hour so I have to say: I ♥ Robin Hood...yes I'm a *cough* obsessed *cough* I mean devoted, Hoodie. :) (And Allan I love you too. Just sayin'.)
K I'm done now...I wish someone here loved RH as much as I do :) :) Abi? *grins hopefully*

Well, I know Molly loves RH as much as I do and was just as infuriated by the end of season two and horribleness of season three. We're both obsessed hoodies. :)

^ true, dat. =D

This is why you don't want to make your blog private

The truth of the sad matter-- (wait, strike that--reverse it), --being private isn't much fun. Your posts don't show up in people's dashboards and I'm still following and commenting on blogs whose authors didn't read mine, so that feels a little strange. And lastly, it's much more difficult to participate in contests when private. :(

Now, for your viewing pleasure, I am going to make a list of the pros and cons of public and private blogging.

Private

Pros:

-Only people you invite can read your blog
-You can talk about things like age more (though I don't...)
-You feel safer
-You don't have to worry about weird people commenting and reading your blog

Cons:
-You get 2 to 3 comments a post (This isn't your fault guys, and I'm not pleading for more comments!! It's just that I have like 70 less people reading my blog now.)
-You get less visitors
-Readers don't know when you post since your dashboard doesn't tell them
-You can't participate in photo challenges/contests as easily

Public

Pros:
-You follow someone, and they can follow you back
-You can be a part of blog parties, contests, and challenges
-You get many more comments and followers
-People can see your blog and know for themselves you're not some creepy stalker person :D

Cons:
-Anyone can read your blog
-The security level is lower
-You can get people you don't want following you
-You don't always feel safe with a public blog
-Someone could simply bookmark my page instead of following me, and I'll never know that they're reading my blog.

Anything to add?

___________________________________________

So there you have it. Which sounds better to you? Public is more exciting, I just wish it was safer.

Actually, I have something to add! Pick me! Thank you. :P I have 31 lovely, incredible people reading my blog. But they are 70 other people who don't know what has happened to me. I disappeared without a trace, and suddenly my blog is private, and maybe somebody's wondering, "Where the heck is Caroline?" And when I make my blog public again, I'm going to feel really, really bad. I don't know how I'm going to apologize to everyone else. Ten people have already stopped following me (you don't know how disappointing that feels--but can I blame them?) I feel like I've let people down. If anyone actually cares about what I write here. Maybe, maybe not. There's going to be a lot of explaining to do when I go public again.

Can I vent for a moment? Again, thank you. This is what I have to say: I HATE BEING PRIVATE!!! K, thanks, glad I got that out of my system. :) It's awful. Granted, no weird creeper person is able to find me, but...I disappeared from the world of blogging with absolutely no explanation except to those of you reading my blog now. Maybe it's hard to understand, but I feel really bad about this whole thing, and I'm sick of it.

But I need to stop. I hate it when people complain like that, and look, I just did it! So I won't keep you here any longer.

How about a photo to leave you with?

I just love that photo...perhaps it's the angle, or the black background. :)

Farewell, good night, sleep tight! And really, don't let the bedbugs bite--those things are NASTY, I hear tell.
