Here we go, ride the pony... this is how we do it

So here's my GG story.....

It's fall 2001. I'm living off-campus, anxiously awaiting the day in a few months when I will finally move into residence. One of my housemates, Heather, is sitting infront of the tv one night, watching a show that I have never heard of. She tells me the name. I sit and watch with her, totally enjoying the banter back and forth between characters, the great clothes and the (relatively) clean storyline.

I forgot the name of the show. My class schedule changes, and I'm not home to watch it again all term. I miss it, but figure that I should be doing homework instead of watching tv anyway.

Fast forward two years. My friend Julie, who I've known since Kindergarten, tells me about this great show that she watches every week, Gilmore Girls. I watch it with her for a few weeks, but then I have to move again, so I have no tv to watch it on. I realize at the end of this time that it was Gilmore Girls I was watching in first year.

It's half way through season 5. My husband and I are given a TV. And the obsession begins, now that I can finally watch it every week.

First it was just a habit, something that I did for an hour a week. But then it became more than that; a social time with Julie every once in a while. A few minutes a week reading spoilers. A conversation with Alida about it.

And now look at where I am. Afraid that we won't have TV next year because I will miss Gilmore Girls too much. Writing a blog about a tv show. Looking for sales on the dvds.

Am I progressing or regressing? Only time will tell.
