Freak

I am officially a freak. Well, maybe not, but I think so. I am obsessed, and I mean OBSESSED with Grey's Anatomy. I know that many people are, but please let me just elaborate on my personal obsession with Grey's Anatomy. First of all, I never started watching Grey's Anatomy until my sophomore year in College. My roomate Amber and I borrowed Season 1 and 2 from a friend. We started watching it, were addicted shortly after, and realized that it was dramatically effecting our 1) schoolwork 2)sleep <-- this more than anything else 3) Sanity 4) Ability to function without thinking of Grey's Anatomy. Knowing this was a serious problem, we decided to put Grey's Anatomy on hold for a bit. That "bit" was way longer for me than it was for her. I moved home in July, and it wasn't until 2 and half weeks ago that I realized that my mom had season 3 of Grey's Anatomy. Welllllllllllllll, I brought it home, and finished it in 3 days. Every night Cody and I watch a movie before we go to sleep, and that is exactly why I get netflix. We loooooooooove the variety of movies that we get to watch and we pick out movies together to put on our queue. Well when I was watching episode after episode of Season 3, I thought he was going to kill me. He never said that, but I could just sense it. But I'm pregnant, irritable..and he knew better than to tell me that I could not watch Grey's Anatomy any more. I accidentally added Season 4 to my netflix queue....and moved all 6 discs to the top of the queue...ooooops. Well when Grey's Anatomy season 4 started arriving in our mailbox everyday instead of you know..the movies we picked out..I knew I was in trouble. I just smiled and fluttered my eyelashes, told him how much I oh so dearly love him...and of course I got away with it! I finished season 4 in 4 days. Schedule during 4 days went as follows:
Alarm goes off 45 minutes earlier than usual to fit in an episode before work.
Work until 5.
Get home at 5:30
Skip making dinner to fit in an extra episode of Greys Anatomy
Watch Grey's Anatomy until bed. Which is usually 9, but these 4 days was 11 or 11:30.
Repeat.

Needless to say, I don't think Cody was out of line when he asked me to PLEASE watch season 5 INSTANTLY on netflix instead of getting them sent in the mail. Considering this wasn't an option for season 4, I decided it wouldn't be such a shab idea. Dual screens at work, one for grey's anatomy, one for work. Brilliant! I spent this whole past week watching grey's anatomy. Well Tuesday through Friday. Allll day. I usually work until 5. But I stayed at work sometimes until 8. Grey's Anatomy is getting the best of me, and I have no objections. On Friday, Cody picked me up from work and I told him he had to stay an extra 23 minutes because thats how much was left of the episode I was on. I only had 4 episodes left and I could NOT wait until Monday to finish season 5. Last night I came to my moms to watch it online, but only had time for 2 episodes which left me two more for today. I just got done with the last episode of Season 5 and WOWWWWWWWWWWWW. I just can't believe that whirlwind of emotions that Season 5 put me through. WOW. Now I'm dying..DYING for Season 6 which is currently on air. My mom told me that you can watch them on ABC so I OBVIOUSLY went there ASAP to start on season 6. THEY ONLY LET YOU VIEW 4 EPISODES AT A TIME AND THEY ARE THE NEWEST 4...NONE FROM THE BEGINNING OF SEASON 6 ARE YOU KIDDING ME. I write you this while I am waiting (already about an hour) for the first episode of season 6 to continue downloading on this site that apparently takes forever to download. I can wait a couple minutes, then watch about 30 seconds of it, but that got old real fast. Now I'm just trying to occupy my time while I continue to patiently wait for it to finish downloading so I can watch and put my heart back at a normal pace. Thank you and have a good night.

Oh my, poor Cody! I've never seen that show but I've heard about it. "Hospital shows" tend to freak me out except for the old Scrubs. I do remember being addicted to Rome and watched a whole season of it in one night. Now you know I'm into Mad Men. I just finished the second season and trying not to go crazy waiting to see the 3rd season. How do shows get such a hold on us?!
