I'd like to think I am void of pop culture addictions, especially when it comes to social media. However I must admit, I do have an addiction (the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, right?) I'll keep my list to a minimum and say that my main 4 are How I Met Your Mother, music, Tumblr, and The Titanic. I have seen every episode of seasons 1-8 of HIMYM at least 3 times, and the 9th season is releasing on Netflix in September so there goes my social life. I can quote almost every episode, know more about their lives than I do some of the people in my life, and own a yellow umbrella. Why do I love this show? I have no clue. Maybe it's the perfect balance of the characters. They are all complete opposites but balance each other out so well. I identify more with Robin (minus the Canada part). I could keep going on about HIMYM but I should probably just move on. Ok, next.. Music! I love music. I love going to local shows. I love traveling to see my favorite bands. Mainly, I listen to punk rock, metal, alternative, and some indie. 90s alternative is my absolute favorite, because I grew up listening to it. Music is just my way of release. I dance competitively and teach, so most of my time is spent with music playing. Now, Tumblr. It's like a blog, but you end up spending hours and days reblogging pictures of cats and ice cream song lyrics and talking to people from other countries. Last, the Titanic. I cannot count how many times I have seen this movie, and I'm not sure why I love it so much. It's the first movie I remember watching. My dad bought it for my mom when it came out on VHS and I have loved it ever since.
It's hard to explain why my addictions are what they are, and I'm embarrassed that they consume so much of my life, but it is awesome to see how I've made friends and gotten to know people because of these similar interests.
