Shrine Post: Scrubs



This is my long-time-in-the-making Shrine Post, I have finally decided to write it about my favourite TV show on earth, Scrubs! I love this show more than any other for a few reasons; 1) Any episode has a moment that can always lift my spirits after a crap day (when people call me that name) 2) It manages to balance the dual themes of drama and comedy, with characters that both manage to be human and play up to stereotypes: the cocky black guy, the latino hard-case, the white nerd and the insecure nerd. 3) the theme song "I'm no Superman" seems to come too close to describing what I feel like screaming at people who give me way too much homework, call out my name wrong on the register etc. 4) I can see people I know in the different roles (Gemma as Elliot, Me as (deep breath) Ted, Roy as Turk, Suz as Carla and Mr D as Cox). There my first shrine post, please don't post angry comments.

Death never really heals

My Grandad died last spring but even now it still manages to take me by surprise, whether I'm in the shower, eating my lunch or giving someone an extra 7 nostrils on Calll of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, my train of thought will randomly go back to my Grandad (don't try and figure out why my mind works like this, you'll probably lose your sanity) and how he's no longer with us.

This isn't the worst thing about it though, the worst thing is knowing that the last time I saw him alive, I had to go to the toilet I was crying so much, but I barely shed a tear at the funeral, not even when I touched the coffin and said goodbye to him for the last time. So my question is what the hell has happened to me?
