For the past ten years, I have heard "You need to watch Gilmore Girls" dozens of times. Since I am stubborn and don't want to give people the satisfaction of me liking popular TV shows, I am just now starting it. In the past month, I've watched Gilmore Girls almost every day and have made it through season 3.
In somewhat of a particular order, here are thoughts I've had while watching Gilmore Girls.
Melissa McCartney!
Private school is a lot of work.
Chad Michael Murray is at Chilton and named... Tristan...

Rory goes golfing in a killer outfit.
That golfing hat is going to kill Rory.
Lorelai named Rory after herself as a feminist move. I love it.
Lorelai wakes up just as well as I do.
I want to shop at Kim's Antiques but I think it's out of my price point.
Mrs. Kim is very good at getting things done.
Dean. I do not like him.
Mrs. Kim's logic is on point.
Rory cannot be dating Dean.
Paris is a lot.
Rory and Dean fell asleep in Miss Patty's barn.
Dean is a bad influence.
Lorelai and Mr. Medina are kind of cute in a totally wrong kind of way.
Don't kiss Max, Lorelai.
Lorelai's decision making skills suck.
Luke closed the diner to take Lorelai to the hospital to see her dad.
Luke needs to put that hat back on.
I can't believe Grandpa set up an interview for Rory at Yale.
Jackson and Sookie. Jackson and Sookie? Jackson and Sookie!
I wonder if men think I am as tall as Jackson's cousin thinks Lorelai is.
Luke had a girlfriend?!
Who is this Rachel?
Lorelai had an eight year old by the time she was my age.
Secret societies in high school are intense.
Rory reads. I like Rory.
Lorelai drives me nuts.

Max proposed over the phone?
Max proposed period.
How is Lorelai going to hide this engagement from her parents?
Sweet Paris' issues with her parents. She just wants love and attention.
That means some of girls I went to high school with have eight year olds.
Kids scare me. How do people my age do it?
Why would they go to a party with guys they met at The Bangles concert? Dangerous!
Luke and Lorelai's not-painting party and not-a-date date is adorable.
CHRISTOPHER. Meow.
Christopher is going to wreck Lorelai and Luke's not-a-date date.
But I am kind of ok with it.
Michel is straight?
Lorelai called Christopher at her bachelorette party. What does that mean?
Luke is not very good at town meetings.
Lorelai is no longer engaged.
Why do you run away from everything, Lorelai?
Christopher and Lorelai were expected to get married at 16?

Christopher and Lorelai had sex on her childhood home patio.
What high school boy has the money to buy his girlfriend a car?
I need a boyfriend who can pay off my car.
Dean loves Rory. Rory is speechless.
Rachel is not Luke's type.
Why did Christopher have to go and get Sherry pregnant?
Kirk. Kirk. Kirk.
Rory cannot read at a party.
Rory cannot kiss Tristen at a party.
Rory cannot kiss Tristen period.
Babette and that darn cat.
I love Sherry's planning.
I want Sookie and Lorelai to buy that inn.

Grandma Trix is so much, but I love watching Emily interact with her.
Emily regifted Trix's gift?! That is not her.
Michel's mom is adorably too much.
Lorelai's love for snow is killing me.
Just like she will be killed by letting all that cold, snowy air in the house.
Paris, chill. It's student council, not the senate.
Lorelai bought clothes for Luke. Awwww.
Rory fled to her grandparents house and didn't tell Lorelai.
Wait. Rory went to the city to meet Jess?!
Sweet Lane trying to find love.
Rory, do not kiss Jess.
Lane is too cute with her band.
The flashback scene where Emily tells Lorelai to run around the block so she can fit into her dress is so sad.

Their feet must hurt from all that dancing.
Kirk won the dance-a-thon!
Kirk annoys me.
Luke without a hat!
I still don't like Dean.
Rory kissing Jess and everyone roasting her is perfect.
I wish I could cook like Sookie.
Deep frying Thanksgiving.
Is there a Mr. Kim?
It makes me laugh everytime Milo comes on screen.
