earlgreytea68Day 29 - Current TV show obsession
Gossip Girl. I feel like I'm really in between obsessions at the moment but judging from how many answers to this meme are Gossip Girl-related (or I wanted to be Gossip Girl-related, but I forced myself to spread the wealth around), I think Gossip Girl is the closest to an obsession I have right now. My favorite hour of the week is Monday night at 9, and when there isn't a new episode on, I am very sad. The show inspires me to capslock-flailing regularly, whether it's over how much I hate the Humphreys, over the length of Serena's skirt, over how awesome Blair Waldorf is, or over how much I bloody adore Chuck Bass.
I don't read any fic for it, though--simply not inspired. And, honestly, I never feel the impulse to re-watch episodes, really, which is why it doesn't feel like an obsession to me. I re-watched Chuck telling Blair he loved her a lot, but that was a whole season ago, and that was only one moment. I always feel like the true sign of an obsession is finishing an episode of it and wanting to immediately watch that episode all over again. And I have to admit that the last time I had that happen to me was with "The Eleventh Hour." I said at the time it was like falling in love with the show again, and now that I think about it I have watched every single episode of the past season at least twice, which is something I haven't done with DW for a very long time.
So maybe DW is about to catapult itself back past Gossip Girl for primary place in my heart? Only the season finale will tell, I think. Until then, xoxo...

Date: 2010-06-06 01:41 am (UTC)In other news, I found some of my Jenny hate to be slightly reduced! I think it was all the times Jacob mentioned how helpful her crazy is to bringing the drama. Anyway, I am SO ready for season 4.
Now that I finally have some Gossip Girl icons, I am having trouble choosing which one to use. Cuddles? Seduction? The only one I downloaded that isn't actually CHuck and Blair? Decisions. Decisions.

As for your icon: I LOVE IT.
