Triumphant return

Yes, that was a hiatus. I have no particular need or wish to explain it, so we'll just move right along.

I'm the obsessive type. When I get into something--be it a person, an idea, a television show, whatever--I'm all in. I think about nothing else for days or weeks or months. I annoy those around me by talking about whatever the obsession is non-stop. That's just the kind of person I am.

For several weeks now, I've been obsessed with having a baby. And I will remain so, I'm afraid, but as that's not in the cards in the near future, I'm moving on to greener, less fraught obsession pastures. These currently include Jon Bon Jovi and The Gilmore Girls. Which sucks, because I have only two episodes of Season 6 left, then I have to wait for Season 7 to be released on DVD, and then it's all over. It breaks my heart that these things--TV shows and novels most especially--end. It is, I think, quite unhealthy.

As for the Jon Bon Jovi thing, what can I say? I saw him on an Unplugged thing (on CMT, oddly) and my love for him has been re-invigorated. He even did "Hallelujah," and it wasn't half bad. I'm not actually old enough to be an original Bon Jovi fan (I'm just a few years too young to have enjoyed hair metal in its prime, though I made up for that with an unrelenting love of Guns N' Roses well after they stopped deserving it), but I have to tell you, Jon looks better now than he ever did in his heyday. He's way more pretty boy, but he's got a great mouth. Reminds me of Ami from Miami Ink, actually. Only slightly more sincere-seeming.

And so life blathers on. Not all that inspired, I know, but this is the beauty of media--distraction.

Welcome back! :-)

I'm obsessed with having a baby, too, and it's not in the cards for me either.

If you need more food for your obsession, though, let me know and I'll hook you up with pictures of my new baby niece :)
