about me

My name is Michael and I am a 29 year old male, not the normal demographic for PLLs. So why am I writing a PLL blog? Well it all started almost a decade ago when I need a quick gift for my sister. She was in high school at the time and I had no idea what to get her. I was at Target and was looking through the books and and saw the first PLLs book and it was in my price range and thought she would like it. She did not plus she made me read it as well.
After that it became a joke between us. We would buy the next book in the series for the other's b-day. We kept doing this for a couple of years until the forth book since the story was getting weak and you find out Mona is A so we thought it would be a good place to stop. Also I don't think either of us would be able to read another PLL book. So we thought our relationship with PLLs was over but really it had just begin.
They had turned it into a TV show! Now I don't know about you but if I read a book and they turn it into a movie, TV show , or play I'm probably going to watch it, no matter how bad it might be. So even though I was not a fan of the books I decided to start watching the show and my sister did the same. We had to see what they kept and what was changed, like Emily's appearance.
My sister was away at college at the time so I would email her my thoughts on the most recent episode so we could discus and dissect each show. I thought it would only last a couple seasons but boy was I wrong, it was a huge hit and will keep going till the Liar's fifth senior year. In the time its been on the air my sister has graduated college and has moved to Israel, so I still continue to write to her each week about PLLs.
Last week I was talking to her and she mentioned that a friend of hers also watches the show, so she has been forwarding my e-mails to this friend. So I thought maybe others would like to read my incite into PLLs as well and therefor I should write a PLLs blog. Being that I am not part of the target demographic gives me a different perspective of the show. For instance there are many references to Hitchcock films that I recognize but I doubt a middle schooler would pick up on.
So that my story,
enjoy
