Obsess much?

trinityvixenI'm almost to the point of being jittery, this is re-cock-u-lous. How come it's only Wednesday, how come? WHY IS IT NOT FRIDAY, GODSDAMNIT!?
I have an addictive personality. I'll be ther first to admit it. I watched an entire season of Doctor Who in one day; a season of Prison Break in a weekend; eight hours of Dexter in one go; and played video games until my eyes were near to bleeding (and thumbs, too; I've even given myself carpal tunnel from holding onto the controller). I like to enjoy something, but I don't want to savor it. I want it all, and I want it now. (Thanks, F. Mercury.)
How in the hell did I survive waiting for Battlestar Galactica before this? I know how. For starters, I watched the first season and a half on DVD, so there was none of this dicking around. Immediately after, the show went into the toilet and the brilliance was condensed into short bursts of three-four episodes at a time at the beginning and end of seasons.
It's the year's wait that's done it. That and the writers' strike. At this point, getting to see the final season of Battlestar Galactica before I'm thirty is looking increasingly unlikely. That must be it. My paralyzing fear that this show will never end, not properly sent off or nothing, is making me nuts. Yes, that's it.
But I am reading forums I don't ever think about, looking at all the pictures EVERYWHERE, and even ::gasp:: looking at fanfic. (I like fanfic, but for certain shows--BSG is one of them--fanfic always feels fake to me, as if it has nothing to do with the show itself. It's so hard to explain, but BSG fanfic seems like a cheap knock-off of the real thing and it only makes me want the real thing more.) HELP ME.
