Addicted
I do not have any talents, and I do not enjoy doing very many things, but if I must have a 'hobby' it is probably watching TV. Well, not so much 'watching TV', it is more like obsessively watching TV series on Netflix. By obsessively I mean I watch them from the time I wake up until the time I go to sleep. Majority of my summer was devoted to watching Supernatural, which has a total of 8 seasons. This also occurred during my spring break last year, I watched a total of 3 seasons of Glee (roughly 66 hours) in under a week. I have also obsessively watched South Park, Once Upon a Time, and Ru Paul's Drag Race. I also watch a lot of Criminal Minds and Law and Order: SVU, and I plan on watching Doctor Who and Sherlock as soon as I can find the time. Watching TV is not tons of fun or anything, but my life is not very interesting, and it is a nice way to waste time. My favorite (and probably least favorite) part of watching the shows is growing attached to the characters. For example, after spending about 172 hours watching Supernatural, I have become emotionally attached to characters, especially the main characters Sam, Dean, and Castiel.
Being so attached to them is terrible because there have been a few times I have cried due to their death or near deaths. Even worse then losing the fictional character is when the actor dies, this is a pain I experienced in July of this year when Cory Montieth (lead character on Glee) passed away due to drug overdose. I am not looking forward to the tribute episode that will be airing on October 10th, I know I will spend majority of the time crying. Despite all the heartache caused by the shows, I enjoy them, and I love how the are able to distract me from all my problems. They truly bring me happiness.
