If you haven't watched "You" on Netflix yet, you definitely should. Based in New York City the show circulates around Joe, a bookstore manager, who becomes obsessed with a young woman named Guinevere Beck. It revolves around his stalking ways into her life from stealing her phone to following her when she leaves the house. Beck has people in her life that Joe is jealous of and that he feels like are messing up her life. The show has been set for another season in the next year, which will feature a few new characters.

Another thing that I found interesting was that there are five facts that most people probably didn't know about the show. I always like looking up things like this because they're always pretty interesting and sometimes answer questions you didn't know you had.

Beware a few spoilers ahead!

Penn Badgley didn't want to play Joe at first because the show is framed as a love story, which he found conflicting.

The bookstore in the show is actually a real bookstore in New York called Logos Bookstore.

Candace wasn't always supposed to come back at the end.

Peach Salinger got her name because author Caroline Kepnes thought it was "annoying." 

Kepnes said in an interview, "I also thought peaches were perfect because they're ripe and delicious, and then they're spoiled, poison, they attract flies, they can make you sick," she added.

Kepnes came up with the character Joe while in a coffee shop.​

I'm so excited for the next season and to see how they continue with Joe's character without him getting caught. Hopefully, girls will stop tweeting Penn Badgley asking him to kidnap them in the meantime.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
