Okay so I just have to write this note because I want to express how satisfied I am with a recent episode of Grey’s Anatomy… Okay, satisfied makes it sound satisfactory (just like Junior Seminar at school..). This moment of television captured me. This 43 minutes and 32 seconds of television was absolutely incredible. Talk about reality TV. How can something, that is written, be more real than an episode of “The Hills” could ever be? I am literally smiling because of how much I loved this episode. This show is on another level. It really makes you think, “Well maybe I’m not alone,” and in the least obvious of ways.

It was titled Sympathy for the Devil and aired on January 15, 2009. I’m being specific for a reason…go watch it bitches! http://www.abc.go.com ..I promise you will appreciate this episode even if you don’t watch Grey’s regularly. (But don’t like hit me if I’m wrong, okay?)

By the way, it’s the annual Grey’s three-parter and I hope you can guess just how excited I am for the next part. Crazy. Amazing. Greyzy.

Quick-ass Re-CAP
I can’t even try. You just have to watch it. Watch it.

Memorable Quotes:
Can an entire episode be a memorable quote? This episode is so above and beyond re-posting quotes from it, but here are some any way..Okay..here are A LOT. Ugh just watch this episode. I started italicizing the ones I really liked…only to realize that they’re ALL amazing. Watch it. Now.

“It takes a year to learn how to cut. It takes a lifetime to learn not to.”

“We’re human. We make mistakes. We misestimate. We call it wrong. People get hurt. They bleed. So we struggle over every stitch. We agonize over every suture. Because the snap judgements, the ones that come to us quickly and easily, without hesitation, they’re the ones that haunt us forever.”

“Of all the tools on the surgical tray, sound judgement is the trickiest one to master. And without it, we’re all just toddlers running around with ten blades.”

“You know, I used to walk tall around here. I used to walk tall. Then came George. He took off at least an inch. Then Erica took off and left me, that shaved off at least a few more. I got shorter. All that humiliation makes you shorter, so yeah I am scared of getting hurt because one more personal disaster would cut me off at the knees.”

“You don’t think that I know that they just pulled the plug on a kid? You don’t think I get that? You don’t think that I know about the tiny tiny coffin they’re gonna stick him in? I know about the tiny coffins. I see them all the time, in my sleep. So if you don’t mind, I’m gonna keep talking relationships and rainbows and crap and I’m gonna make plans for tomorrow. Because that’s what you do. You make plans. You have to. You turn your back on the tiny coffins and face forward to the next kid.”

“Sometimes the body, the pieces just break. I’m like that. My life is in pieces. All the time I just keep breaking and as soon as I fix one, another one goes down. Listen, I’m not trying to piss you off by being here. I’m just trying to keep it together, you know, piece by piece.”

“That pony tail looks ridiculous.” (This one only true Grey’s fans would appreciate.)

“She’s a lovely girl. She isn’t the problem, you are. You have very low expectations for yourself. Since you were a little boy, you always have. And it’s time to raise them.”

“You don’t get off that easy. I am nothing like you.”

“I’m not the kind of girl that mothers like. I’m not happy and bubbly. I’m dark and cloudy. Because I’m the kind of crazy person who feels bad for serial killers.”

“I wanna meet your mother. I wanna go on a date with you. I want to eat dinner at a restaurant and not look like a crazy person talking to myself. I want to walk down the street with you and hold your hand. I want to tell my friends about you. I want. I want.”

“Walk tall. All you can do is be brave enough to get out there. You fought, you loved, you lost. Walk tall.”

“I still can’t sleep on his side of the bed. The mattress is wearing unevenly. But no, not angry, not anymore.”

“You see things in black and white. Meredith doesn’t. You need a spoonful of that. You need her. She’s the one.”
