The rest is still unwritten

It's almost concerning how many people I have talked to about The Hills today. What will I do after the series finale ends? Who will I be without Audrina to imitate?

Although a little piece of my heart already died the day LC left, I'm still feeling lost. So, in honor of the show that brought me so much joy, a tribute.


 “Jeans can be really addicting. There’s always new ones and you feel like you have to have them. I can’t do it.” ~Whitney

I can hardly even look at this one. Oh, the days when Heidi and Lauren didn't even have to photoshopped into photos together. A simpler time P.K.C. (pre-Kelly Cutrone) when Whitney mostly just blinked as LC regaled her with stories about Jason/Brody and would never dream about putting her private life on display. Look at those pigtails and tell me you knew that someday Whitney would be a diva.



No words, no words for that sparkle in Heidi's eyes that has been surgically removed. No words for that flat chest that would someday house so much silicone that even Pamela Anderson, upon seeing it, would cast her eyes downward in silent defeat.


And who could forget this grainy scene, when it all fell apart. As thick black tears streamed down LC's face, I cried for all the shopping trips and fake-eating scenes that would never again happen between Lauren and Heidi.


"Truth and time tells all."- Justin Bobby

Here's to truth and time. There were so many photos I could have chosen to represent Justin Bobby, but this one captures the essence of JB. The half ponytail, the nonchalant eyebrow. At that moment the wisest thing he thinks he has ever thought was probably coming out of his mouth.

Pretty sure I should stop googling The Hills pictures at work, so in closing- goodbye les deux, goodbye Audrina staring at random things, goodbye Speidi when you were just a little appalling and not so sad/awkwardly hard-to-watch, goodbye Brody...have fun with your new girlfriend avril lavigne, goodbye Kristen and the way you could never measure up to LC because you were in love with Justin Bobby and Brody Jenner, goodbye Lo "I'm Switzerland" Bosworth, goodbye Ryan Cabbrera's spiky hair-you were never "bad" enough for Audrina, goodbye matching jean vests, goodbye Stephanie Pratt wasting away more with each passing episode (good luck with your purse designing business), goodbye gratituous bikini shots with a top 40 song playing in the background and goodbye all the wonderful, wonderful jokes I made on behalf of this show. I loved you.
