"I really like this magazine. I've been reading it for about a year and it keeps getting better. I really hope you keep doing more articles like "The Age of Entitlement." I really like reading ones like that that don't worry about making anyone mad. Plus your articles are never about gossip. I like that."

"I really love the cover! I don't know how to describe how I like it though, I just do. LoL Great choice of Taylor Swift shot too!
Fantastic feat. on Taylor Swift too Melissa - she really is a great role model!
Also, as someone who has issues with the CW, I really enjoyed your article and thoughts about that.
Amanda, I like your picks for the Top 10 faces to watch in 2010 - spot on about Britt Robertson! I've only seen 2 eps of Life Unexpected and I already have her picked as the next big thing.
Onto more serious topics, Fran, I really enjoyed your feat. on the Age of Entitlement. It is truly sad just what our generation has become and I think you did a great job of pointing that out.
I also thoguht your feature Kelly on SAD was good - I didn't know about that! And the history of Valentines Day was a great read too! Full of interesting facts, but I also love how you put your own spin on it and made it sound fun and quirky!
I loved the array of Valentines themed stories we had but it wasn't necessarily about celebrating Valentines Day with that someone special but also catered to the single ladies (and guys! And now I have Beyonce in my head! LoL)"

"Melissa- Your CW article was REALLY good. I was so hyped up to read it, definitely fulfilled my expectations. I agree with all of your points. If only the CW would stop focusing on all the glitter and get to something substantial. I hope Life Unexpected fairs well, but I'm nervous to watch it since I'm afraid it's going to get canceled. My Dad and I flipped it on tonight all the same, just because it's an addicting show. Gotta be a good sign!
Your Taylor Swift article rocked. I liked how you added her charity work and emphasized her quotes... I didn't know how she thinks about the mothers of her young fans. Really sweet and adorable.
ooo, that Fab Five. xD *wants*

Amanda- I had just watched the Hannah Montana Movie and I was like- "where have I seen that blond kid before... oh, his name's Lucas Till... OH, THE TAYLOR SWIFT MUSIC VIDEO!!!" He's a cutie =)
I also love your idea of babysitting for a couple on V-day. It'd make me feel really nice to do that for someone and I bet just as much for the couple.

Fran- Whoa. That article blew me away... really made me sit and think. Funny, because my Mom and I were driving back from the doctor's office and we were in an expensive area (surprise, surprise...) and Mom and I started laughing at all the gated communities and how many doctors don't really spend too much of their time at home. My appointment was at 7PM at night. Between their 10 years of med school, interning and now long days... I just think of how much money they make and the children they have or are going to have. The article for me sort of emphasized a balanced life... like you're only going to get out of like what you put into it. But what I got out of the article was that my generation thinks they can get that by sliding by. Especially when everyone on TV is "entitled" to their money. You don't see poor kids on 90210. When in actuality it takes tons and tons of effort/hard work to get where they are. Yet they show Debbie and Harry sitting around and relaxing at home. Kind of hilarious.

Angela- I already told you how much I love the Top 10 TV Ships. *Sigh* to the haterz, lol.
I'm reading your top 10 What If Ships right now. I'm a total Jess/Rory shipper, but I did hate how Jess treated Rory. Icky. I couldn't really see them together in season 6, their passion had faded which was their charm to me. But it was fun while it lasted :/
Aw, Jen K and Rusty! I partly love them so much just because I loved hearing Rusty say "Jen K". He just said it all goofy and with a smile. So cute.
I used to watch Smallville... first four seasons maybe? Less or more, not sure. But I really loved Lana/Clark. What attracted me most was those flashbacks with Lana in her little fairy outfit lol, that's all I really remember about the show."

"I think my favorites so far are actually both of Angela's ship articles. Haha. I really love the way the articles are set up in general, and I love that she explains each of the choice as though she is an actual shipper, whether she is or not.
I also loved Melissa's Taylor Swift article as well. I love the huge long list of accomplishments, and then, okay, here's what I'm actually going to tell you about her. That was fun. Oh, and the CW article. I too take issue with the CW as a network, and I agree with (almost) everything in the article. It's ashame the people at the network don't see it the way we do."
