"I gotta go change my feet."

So, I was watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on my Tivo, and the end credits rolled and I pressed stop, and what should happen to be on TV but She's the Man.

And I watched it.

I watched it for half an hour. And what's more, I enjoyed it. I turned it off when I realized that I was totally hooked, but even now, sitting in my room, I kind of want to keep watching it.

Someone please shoot me now.

Would shooting you really help? I mean then you'd be laid up in the hospital recovering from a gunshot wound and who knows what you'd end up watching then! Shooting you could just make things so much worse!

Oh, you're right!! I'd probably end up watching soap operas daytime dramas, and I'd get all involved with just who exactly is Justine's baby's daddy, and just what that masked woman was doing down by the pier, and OMG why would Hector do that, doesn't he know Liz totally loves Jamie, and didn't Carlo's will say the money should go to Alisha, and I would NEED to be put out of my misery.

Hmm. Something less drastic, then...

You did that with a little to much skill for my tastes, you're already hooked on the daytime dramas aren't you?! It's okay, you can tell us the truth, you're in a safe environment here. *pets* :P

Teehee!

Truthfully, the only soap I have gotten completely and utterly addicted to was Dark Shadows. You can't go wrong with a soap when one of the main characters is a vampire! SciFi used to run reruns twice a day, and every day I taped it and watched it and speculated. I got a little bit obsessed. I was lucky; SciFi stopped showing it and I had to go cold turkey.

Then I got addicted to a Spanish soap opera on Telemundo, which was made doubly worse by the fact that I could only understand about half of what was being said. I had to force myself to stop watching that one.

Since then I've studiously avoided daytime dramas, mostly because I know that if I watch even one episode I'm going to be so incredibly hooked I'll need a seven-step program.
