hi! welcome to the mega. i'll kick us off

i've been a fan since i was a literal child, lol... i would watch the episodes airing on teenick (which became the incredibly self-serious The-N) and i was just enamored with the world: i loved the scenery, the characters, the stories, the cheesiness, the drama, everything. it was a perfect show. i would watch it and then self-insert as Spencer from South of Nowhere before going to bed. ok that's embarrassing but i'm leaving it in

i guess i drifted away from the show when i wanted to be edgy as a teen but nostalgia and this deep familiarity drew me back and i fell in love with the world again. it doesn't have to be dark and angry, it can address serious themes with a sense of hope and levity because it's not real life, it's Degrassi. it's a security blanket and honestly i couldn't ask for a better one.

by the way, i recently introduced the show to someone Very Important to me and it went incredibly well. my heart fluttered for like 5 minutes after we had the "i really liked it" discussion lol

anyway. i'd really like to hear everyone's experiences with the show. this is intended to be a free-for-all so just post whatever comments you want that don't really warrant their own thread. ok bye
