the horror

who have i become?

i am seriously, seriously addicted to days of our lives.  i used to watch it as a little kid when my mom was hooked on it.  then in high school and college i would tape it and watch it first thing when i got in the door.  i loved dr. carly manning, and jack & jen.  then i got over it once the new regime stepped in and the whole possession thing went down.  i was all like, no thanks.  and i turned my back on soaps for good.  this past spring i got reacquainted with some old school another world, and i do watch an episode of all my children from time to time, i love me some rebecca budig.  but anyway, sunday night i found my sad and pathetic butt watching 5 hours of days! and now i can't turn the tv off at 7pm at night.  damn the inhabitants of new salem.  i need to know what happened.  if they are alive or dead.  what marlena really was up to.  and who is behind this whole mess.  it's a sick sad addiction, and i fear i'm held captive to it (much like shirtless shawn in the crazy prison of his) until the end when they reveal exactly what's been going on.  i almost got away and then they flashed back to a little jack & jen action from 93-94.  that mixed with the mention of carly being buried alive around that same time and i was a goner (gone, much like the ability for roman and caroline to show any emotion on their overly-botoxed faces).  yikes.
