Hey, friends! I didn’t mean to leave the blog high and dry, but I was knocked out by a pretty wicked cold. I spent most of last week mouth-breathing, popping antibiotics, and laying on the couch.
FYI: As for the TP, I wasn’t shitting my pants while lying on the couch – I was almost out of tissues.
I haven’t called out of work since I’ve started this current job, but I was so miserable on Wednesday that my boss insisted that I stay home on Thursday.
I was/am very thankful for that, but it kind of introduced me to an addiction I can’t shake.
Thanks to my extremely generous bosses and access to my best friend’s Netflix account, I am now completely obsessed with Pretty Little Liars.
I think this is what it must feel like to be addicted to crack cocaine. Too dramatic?
Like, I literally can’t stop watching. After each episode I’m like, God damn it. I’ve gotta see what happens next. And I hate myself for it.
Now that I’m not literally couch-bound, I have to ration my allotted PLL time. If not, I will lose all sense of time and pretend I actually live in Rosewood.
When I snap back to reality, I feel like a pervert for absolutely rooting for the relationship between a 16 year old and her teacher, but they’re so freaking beautiful, I can’t help it.
I also find myself wondering where these kids’ parents are. Who just runs around doing shit at 16 years old? In addition, what 16 year old is stalked by a dead girl?
No matter. I’ll just dive back in and ask no questions.
NOTE: I am on SEASON ONE. I will punch you through the computer screen if you spoil anything for me. kthanks 
I have yet to watch this show because I think I would also become addicted!!
My sister watches this show, but I’ve never seen it. Maybe I shouldn’t, because I’d probably get addicted
. I’ve had a cold too — they always take so long to go away! Feel better!
You should start it–Molly mentioned going back and re-watching it from the beginning on Netflix!
I know! Maybe I’ll have to schedule some sister dates so I can watch it too
.
I had the same reaction when i started watching it too. I watched the first two seasons in about a week. I love it!
I’ve watched it from the beginning and I too have rooted for the same inappropriate relationship. Meh – whatevs.
Your honesty is so adorable and I know so many people can relate to what you are experiencing. I’ve had friends at work who don’t sleep the whole night because they keep saying” one more show”. So I have never let myself get into any of these kinds of programs- they are addictive. Feel better sweetheart! XO
Hahah I am totally guilty of binging on shows. I have a Comcast account I use online and will randomly find a new show and disappear until I have watched every episode of every season. Back in 2009 I did that with a million seasons of gossip girl, it was a “lost summer”. Hope you are feeling better!
My mom started watching this show this weekend… and asked me if I have ever seen the “Little Liars” show. It kind of freaks me out at times tho. But is addicting.
I am obsessed with PLL! It gets so good! I actually never saw season 1, but picked up during season 2. Just wait!
Netflix is incredibly dangerous. If I get hooked on a new TV show, I can’t stop watching until it’s complete. I get the “if I finish all three seasons today, I’ll have tons of time to be super productive tomorrow” mentality.
omg I loooooooooooove pretty little liars!
Oh man wait till you get to this current season!!!
My students ALWAYS tell me to check that show out! It’s definitely on my list…a good show makes being sick a little more tolerable!
Ahh! My tutoring student was just telling me about Pretty Little Liars and I definitely want to start watching from the beginning!
Aaand I have a roll of toilet paper on my coffee table as we speak because we’re out of tissues. Isn’t that the worst? Does the job though.
I love pretty little liars. I remember watching the first season in maybe 3 days because it was too good to stop. It just keeps getting better and better.
Once upon a time is like that for me too in that I can’t stop watching
My sister watches this show and has been telling me to join her on the addictive journey! I just know myself with shows like these. I’ll undoubtedly become obessesed and not want to do anything but watch every.single.episode. I think I’ll wait until Vishnu starts rotations to watch this one!
Haven’t been sucked into this show yet but I’m sure I would quickly become just as addicted. I need something to replace Downton since I’ll never forgive them for the Season 3 finale, so maybe I should start watching! Hope you feel better, and definitely stay home when you’re sick! Gotta avoid spreading those germs if you’re able to.
I love PLL- I’m absolutely addicted! No shame in that!
I’ve never seen this show, but now I’m curious! Dare I even start watching it?
I’m going to play the role of the enabler and say YES!! Start watching it!
Yes yes yes. Pretty Little Liars is my major guilty pleasure. I am obsessed. Just wait until you get caught up…it just gets better and better! I love Aria and Ezra as well…no shame
I felt the exact same way when I started watching The Walking Dead. I also started it when I was sick and literally went through an entire season (granted it was only something like nine episodes) in one day.
Apparently you are not better yet!! When you are; you will be able to walk away from PLL. Or at least I hope you will. Wasn’t there a Law and Order marathon on somewhere?
OMG….why do I like this show?! The acting is subpar yet…I still keep watching. Things really pick up in the second/third season!
I became obsessed with this show and watched all of the seasons on Netflix in what I believe was record time. And now, I need some way to catch up on the more recent episodes….:/
Bahahaha the ONLY reason I used to watch this show was to ‘root for’ that relationship. And I’m a teacher so it makes it even creepier!!! You’re not alone!
