Dirty little secrets
Ok, so everyone has them...you know stupid, silly things you enjoy even though the world tells you its dorky or trashy. For me, my new addiction has been Days of Our Lives. It started out innocently enough with me casually listening to the show while my roommate sat intently staring at the TV. But somewhere along the way I found myself looking forward to the days when I would be home to watch Days of Our Lives, but still I told myself "it's Hillary's show and I'm just along for moral support." Well yesterday I crossed over to the dark side. I watched Days (yes, I have now started to refer to the show by its more commonly known name) all by myself, and enjoyed it.
The Kerry, Austin, Lucas, and Sammy saga has captured my heart, as has the Belle and Sean situation. Who will Kerry chose? Will Sean marry Mimi or make the right choice and chose Belle? All these questions must be answered, and I must know. I have become the typical soap junky. All that is missing is a bucket of wings and a screaming baby in the background.
But yet I have a sneaky suspicion that I am not the only one with a secret such as this.

I watched it in high school, then got frustrated that nothing ever worked out well. The evil people always screwed it up!
So, I stopped for a few years. Then, I also had a roomate that watched it. Paired with not having a job, I began to watch it with her. I was immediately excited that I knew a lot of the characters. I got entangled in their new sagas, and watched it for a few months. Then, as before, nothing ever worked out right. So, I quit again. I've been "Days sober" for over two years now. :)
Stick with me Laura, and you will get hooked again.
I'm glad I'm not alone!!! I became hooked over this past summer (at work, I watched it on my lunch break). It is a never-ending circle of drama, but something makes you HAVE to find out what is going to happen. It is also comical i.e. Belle's baby is obviously Sean's b/c she became pregnant while Philip was held prisoner overseas! I also love it how practically everyone is in the hospital and Lexi treats them all!!I think women have a gene for soaps that is activated upon viewing one episode. That's just my theory though.
Sam, funny you should mention the Lexi issue...My roommate and I were discussing the exact same thing- yet somehow we still find this to be fairly believable.
I agree that all women have a supressed desire to watch soaps; however, I do not know where this desire comes from but that is why I suggest never starting.
In a kind of related story...I had enough soap to last at least two more showers. Then I dropped it and it went down the drain.
And in a story kind of related to that one... I managed to get my watch into my laundry basket. I heard something big fall into the machine but I didn't care enough to see what it was. It's really clean now and I think in the future I will put other non-easily-breakable things into the wash.
And as I typed the first part of this blog I started wondering what it says about me when I am doing my own laundry, I hear a big clunk and I don't even care to look and see what strange object I just dropped in. Then I completely forget about it until I find it at the bottom...then it all comes back to me. AND then I go write a blog about it. Well not even a blog, just a long rambling comment in someone elsees blog that I don't even know...right after I typed up a long one about ninja turtles.
Haha...I remember way back when I was in Elementary School my babysitter would watch it and the name of the soap just stuck with me. Although, I think it was The Young and the Restless, if my memory serves me right. And after that I'd go off to kindergarten in my schools PM kindergarten class.
