So, I've told you already that I'm becoming slightly disenchanted with Dasey. Of course, I still love our Dasey fandom and would never leave it. But for me, I can't really imagine writing another chapter story after "Moments in our Lives" ends. Of course, we also know that that may never have to be an option, because it may never occur. WIth the addition of Piper, I've given up trying to fool myself that I'm actually writing a story. Instead, I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm writing a television series that no one can watch.
But, I've officially found a new obsession. I limit the television I watch because I just don't have the time. I don't do Gossip Girl or 90210 and I'm even trying to give up One Tree Hill which is huge (I have yet to watch either of the new episodes). But one of the shows that I've really been interested in is "The Secret Life of the American Teenager". When it started, it was still baseball season and the boys always had games on that night. But when I found out they were beginning a marathon of it this past Monday night, I couldn't resist. So Phillip took Gage to football practice and Nate tagged along and I curled up on the couch with my popcorn and Diet Coke and became thoroughly addicted.
The season finale was last night, so I've watched the complete first season of eleven episodes. And now, I'm dying to write a story. Maybe none of you have watched it, but I could write Ben! Ben is so much like my Derek, which we all know is OOC. But that's why all my chapter stories take place after any of the episodes of the series, that way I can justify his actions.
Plus, Ben wants to take care of Amy even though the baby belongs to someone else (sound familiar)? And in another episode, he takes her to a carnival and she throws up there. Does that sound familiar too? I was writing this stuff in LCM and "Derek's Law of Valentine's Day" long before they were, lol!
It would be a scary thing to do, to move on. Right now, there are only like 100 stories and not a great following at all, but I'm dying to do it. So of course, I'll keep up with MioL. I'm way to addicted to these characters that I've created, but I think I'm going to take the plung and branch out and seek new horizons. Though that's a pretty scary thing to do when I've been sitting in my comfort zone for so long.
Anyway, you're probably wondering why I'm posting this. I'm not sure, maybe because if I put it out there, then I'll actually do it. Instead of just keeping it inside and stewing about it.
So, my ramble is complete, but if you haven't watched the show, go over to youtube and type in Amy and Ben and watch a couple of videos. And you can actually watch all the episodes on there too.
So if you've made it all the way through this, thanks for listening and I hope you're not thinking "WT?" too much! In fact, what do you think?
