Got to admit…this show is taking the cake. While I am purely there for Spongebob (and damn if the Halloween episode was not hilarious) I stay for Invader Zim and found myself laughing crazily. Damn if the characters are not absolutely spot on to some of the misfits and all at my school at one time (including myself) “My god, I’m delicious!” ---

When I first say it I thought “Well gee, where can this show go? It’s just Zim and his enemy.” But it is hilarious. I saw the bologna episode last night. _guffawguffawguffaw_ Wierd wierd, almost wierd enough to give me nightmares about ‘Skool’ and doom. That being said I find myself strangely attracted to Dim’s sister. It must be her cynicism and purple hair. ---

I saw my first episode the other week. Oh man that is some trippy shit. It was the episode where Zim realizes that he needs friends so he selects a stalker psycho kid to be his friend. Just freakin hilarious. ---

Yeah, this show is great! I’ve taped a few episodes so far, and everyone I know wants to borrow my tape full of Zimmy goodness. The episode where Zim ‘borrows’ the other children’s organs never fails to scare people. However, my favorite character is GIR! Zim’s version of the SIR robots. What does the ‘G’ stand for? “…I don’t know!” “Can I be a mongoose?” “I’m going to sing the doom song now! Doom doom doom doom doom DDOOOMMM \” ---

Miss Bitters…heheheheheheheheh I love her evilness. Oooh the ZIM quotes elude me now but they shall be posted another day. ---
