I watch too much t.v. This has been a fact since I was about 10. I am now 16, so I have been unhealthily addicted for too long. I have tried to do other things, but it keeps drawing me back, like pins to a magnet. OMG, I just made up a similie, I should so copyright that (do they copyright phrases?). Anyway, my addiction means that every day I tune in to E4 to watch old One Tree Hill. Although, the series’ are like 5 years old, it’s the first time I have seen them, and I have to say that OTH is giving my beloved OC a good run for it’s money. Yes, the OC is finished, but I own the boxsets so I still watch it alot . Actually, the first time I seen 2 of the series’ it was on box set. I started watching the OC during Season Four, the final season and thought it was brilliant. Then E4 ran the first season again, after the fourth season had finished, and I became so addicted that I bought the entire box set in order to see all the series’.
As well as being addicted to television and One Tree Hill and the OC and coffee and Brad Paisley’s music, I am also a major bookworm. I have watched too much tv since I was 10- I have read too many books since I was 5. As a three-year-old I asked my mum to buy me books instead of sweets or toys like a normal child. I couldn’t even read when I was 3!! Usually, I buy books and they are read within two days. A few weeks ago, I went shopping on a Thursday and bought 3 books, one written by Marian Keyes, one written by Sinead Moriarty and one by Claudia Carroll. The following Tuesday, I was looking for something to read. Last year, I went on a spree in Easons because there were alot of classics costing only 1.99. I bought Wuthering Heights, Emma, Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion. The only non-Austen book was Wuthering Heights. Of the four, Emma was the only one I completed. It took me about 2 months, and I predicted alot of it, making it less enjoyable. I started the other 3 and gave up half-way through (like, after 2 chapters). I cannot understand what it is about Jane Austen. I’m thinking that it must be the age of the books, the language can be hard for me to understand at times. Plus, I get mixed up with the characters because they are all Mr X and Miss Y. But I think the main problem is the predictability, they are all so similar in storyline (young woman, posh, but not incredibly rich, looking for a man) and it’s so easy to guess what happens next. I think that her books are over-rated, but that’s just my humble opinion.
I am so lazy, my 2 main hobbies are watching tv and reading.
