Last night was one of those nights that can only be described as bittersweet. I sat on my couch excitedly anticipating the action packed season finale of The Hills (sweet) with some homemade biscotti (also sweet) before I realized that it would in fact be the last Monday for a long time to include my gal pals from L.A. (bitter).

Today is completely bitter. I feel like it is the morning after an awesome hook up when I can’t do anything but sit and think about the guy while I wait for him to call. While the evening it all went down (no pun intended) was awesome, the morning after just sucks.

This time, though, is even worse; I know Lauren isn’t going to call. And I know I am going to have to wait a long, long time to see her again.

But even with all this sadness I can’t help but get warm and fuzzy inside when I think back to that half hour of perfection last night. And my delicious biscotti.

The episode could not have been better. I found my heart melting for Brody, which is weird because he is totally not my type. Usually the popped collar/weird oversized hat kinda guys completely turn me off. But I guess there is something to be said about a guy in love. And he so is!

Which, by the way, made me hate Lauren just a little. Don’t get me wrong; the girl is absolutely fabulous. She has a killer wardrobe, she is surprisingly driven and intelligent considering her more-than-comfortable upbringing and she and I share many thoughts and opinions. I have to say, though, it drives me crazy when girls play dumb with guys.

Come on, Lauren; when Brody takes you to dinner, pulls out your chair and says he’s going to miss you he is obviously telling you that he likes you. Don’t play dumb (“You are going to miss your single friend?”) and make him spell it out for you. He is a guy! That is as good as it is gonna get, and if you don’t pick up on it soon he will not be there when you return from Paris.

And as for, Heidi: I would like to think you got a clue back in Colorado and left Spencer once and for all. Unfortunately, it seems that you two are still hanging out all over the place so I can’t help but think the trip back home did nothing beneficial for you and only made you miss her freeloading boyfriend even more.

Honestly (and I am sorry for this tangent), what the hell does Spencer do? Who has all this time to roam and mope around L.A. on a weekday and then go pop in to see his girlfriend at work?

My God! So many (semi) cliff hangers. (Semi because reading any magazine clues us into the lives of Lauren and Heidi, so we kinda know what’s going on now. But, whatever; it is still majorly stressful!) And I tried my best to stay up to watch the after-show to have some of my burning questions answered (mostly about Lauren’s hair care regime and what she ate in Paris), but those two MTV hosts made me want to claw out my eyes with a rusty fork.

Could MTV have found more annoying people to do this thing?

Any predictions as to what happens after the cameras stopped rolling? More importantly: any idea what shampoo Lauren uses?
