Sometimes I make a fool of myself,

one of those times is when the subject of television comes up and my obsession with Degrassi Junior High, Degrassi High, and Degrassi The Next Generation becomes VERY evident VERY fast. These shows have the power to turn me from my usual cynical self to a simpering, sobering bowl o' emotional wreckage in moments. I don't yet understand what mystical force lies behind the great power of the Degrassi Series, but it's got me, it's got me bad.
Anyways, I am strangely attached to all of the characters(aside from Cuh-loooad and scummy Scott in Degrassi High and Rick in TNG)but I have my favourites, based on fashion of course.


One of my favorites is Liz, she is a skinhead through and through. I don't like her views on the show, not one little bit(she is a Vicious Pro-Lifer, I am a Vicious Pro-Choicer, her views in real life parallel mine btw)but I love that she is fiercely opinionated. I can also relate to her reserved side, generally I seem outgoing, but appearances are deceptive.



Spike is another favorite of mine, she was fierce enough to give birth at 14, battling off offensive comments from people she'd never even met and being removed from Degrassi School for the duration of her pregnancy. Not only did she give birth, she kept it and it(well, she) became Emma Nelson on TNG. Spike was known for her legendary hair, which for much of the show was bigger and more wild than in the photograph.
