I am assuming its bad form, but the question I have is HOW frowned upon is it. In the long run would it be better she stay home and i take a lot of pictures?
*** man, ouch sorry.

Honestly, I'm sure it sucks now, but it's for the best. Planning to stay with someone during grad school is a big commitment, and if you are having slight problems now, they'd only get much bigger in the fall. Having someone move to be with you only works, I think, if you are on really solid terms. If things were a little rough now, the stress of moving and starting a new school would have only made it harder on both of you.

Plus, I know alot of people at UIUC and there are alot of hot girls there.

Definitely a good decision in the long run.

Stop posting *** to this topic. Your problems are insignificant compared to the prospects of the Terminator being canceled. *** prioritize.

Actually, it hasn't been canceled, but it is in danger of being canceled. Honestly, I could care less about Dollhouse. Eliza Dushku is hot, but the show itself is going nowhere.

I hope the new terminator movie keeps people interested in the franchise enough to keep it going. I really think summer glau is a babe and i like that shirley manson is on the show (I dated a big Garbage fan for years in highschool--even lost my virginity with "as heaven is wide" on the sterio, good times) so for me terminator is the total package, but dollhouse is still very high on my list.

I have watched the past few episodes of Dollhouse. I watch it on mute, so I get occasional glimpses of Dushku in alluring outfits and don't have to tolerate the weak writing. I'm pretty sure that's how Joss Whedon intended it to be viewed, anyway.

Unfortunately, Doll House != Firefly (or even Buffy).

I don't think he could ever live up to Buffy.
