The Art Of Spoil

Everyone hates spoilers right?

The Art Of Spoil
Politik

Everyone hates spoilers right? I bet you do and I'm pretty impartial to them myself, however, I wondered how everyone reacts differently to spoilers or maybe everyone reacts the same. We all have that one friend that demands You dramatically "tell me what happens!" and then you have that other friend whose like "don't tell me! I don't want to know ..I want to see it myself" either way, spoilers are usually not wanted. People get in an uproar if you do tell them something about a show or movie that they've been waiting to see, however, it's worse if that something is bad news.

I was having a conversation with my mother when I realized how I react to spoilers, if it's good news or if it's something exciting no big deal, however, if it's bad news it tends to affect me drastically to the point where I just won't watch it..none of it.... ever. Example, I'm sure you've heard of the show Orange is the New Black or maybe possibly you haven't, you could possibly Live on another planet? Anything's possible... but if you have heard of it, then you're probably aware of the biggest spoiler that was dropped before most people could even get halfway into this season. Unfortunately, I was one of the people affected by this, so five episodes in and that's as far as I've made it. I haven't watched one more episode since, and it's actually kind of sad because I do want to see the other episodes but I lost all desire to watch it. When I look back on some of the things that I've gotten negative spoilers , I noticed how it affected me, for example, the show Dexter; great show! But I've never made it past season one, my best friend told me about something sad that was going to happen in season two and so I haven't watched it since and that was three years ago!

However I'm sure not everyone reacts this way, some people will watch it anyway, some people will get over it faster than others, and some people who like myself won't watch it at all. My friend recently said she's not watching Finding Dory because another friend of mine ruined it for her by telling her the happy ending, oddly enough that a happy ending would make her not want to watch it because she didn't get to see it for herself. I'm realizing that spoilers can, you know..really spoil the experience? I've always tried not to give spoilers and sometimes it is hard especially if you are excited about something or if something was just so horrifically disappointing that you feel the need to share it with the world so I do understand why sometimes people drop spoilers. Even though it's best that if you're going to give a spoiler just try and drop the info on one person and not the entire world or the entire Facebook population. But I am still just a little curious if everyone reacts the same way to spoilers? I mean, are there some people who really like them who want to know what happens before they see it? And will still watch it afterward? Do those people exist? I mean Anything is Possible but that one? That one is hard to believe. Anyways just having a thought about spoilers and hopefully, this article doesn't spoil your day.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
