Since only discovering your journal a few days ago, I am working my way backward reading your stuff. I love everything you have had to say about this show and its characters.
I really must applaud the writers and Amanda for creating such an incredible character. Everything from her "I have standards" line in "Kush" to her wardrobe (love the shoes) to her rich history and her "complicated" relationship with John.
She chose this. Every. Single. Step.
And we know that none of this has come easily for her. There have been hard choices that she has had to make. I like the fact that she hasn't always made the right choice, but that she is willing stand up and admit it and take responsibility for it, but she always stands by her choice. And though she is usually right, she realizes that she has limits. I love how in "Eulogy" she brought Will in and told him she needed to have someone there to tell her when she had gone too far. There really is so much to discuss about her character.
