I have been absolutely obsessed with headbands lately. Totally the influence of Miss Blair Waldorf.<br \/>\n2. I&#8217;ve never had anything &#8220;done&#8221; to my hair besides a cut &#8212; no perms, coloring, highlights, etc.<br \/>\n3. I adore the holiday season. My &#8220;holiday season&#8221; starts in October with my birthday&#8230; it&#8217;s like a triple whammy with my bday, then Thanksgiving, and finally Christmas. Love it.<br \/>\n4. My favorite lunch pastime (when I can sneak out of the office, that is) is to walk over to Union Square and do some window shopping at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">H&amp;M<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sephora.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sephora<\/a>.<br \/>\n5. I would LOVE to spend my 30th birthday in Paris. *sigh*<br \/>\n6. I haven&#8217;t worked out regularly since the wedding. F to me.<br \/>\n7. I recently discovered the show <i>What Not to Wear<\/i> on TLC and it promptly went on my Tivo season pass list. \ud83d\ude00<br \/>\n8. I&#8217;m currently obsessed with tart frozen yogurt. YUMMY.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone should do the meme (not going to officially tag anyone)!<\/p>\n<p>Also, a TV meme that I stole from <a href=\"http:\/\/peopleareshapes.livejournal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jen<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><b>Name a show you can&#8217;t miss:<\/b><br \/>\nGossip Girl, Chuck, Supernatural.<br \/>\n<b>Name an actor who would make you more inclined to watch a show:<\/b><br \/>\nHahahaha. Joshua Jackson. That&#8217;s what happened with <i>Fringe<\/i>. I&#8217;m not entirely sure I would have been so interested in the show if he wasn&#8217;t cast. Love him. I would also follow Emily Van Camp <i>anywhere<\/i>. Before she was on <i>Brothers and Sisters<\/i>, I only watched the show when I remembered it was on. Once I heard she was cast, I started watching it regularly so I could figure out how her character would play into the storylines. That&#8217;s when I discovered how great a show it is and I was totally missing out even without her in it. I&#8217;d probably also be more likely to watch a show if Leighton Meester was in it &#8212; she rocks.<br \/>\n<b>Name an actor who would make you less likely to watch a show:<\/b><br \/>\n??? Can&#8217;t think of anyone really&#8230;<br \/>\n<b>Name a show you can and do quote from:<\/b><br \/>\nDawsons Creek. Heh.<br \/>\n<b>Name a show you would recommend everyone to watch:<\/b><br \/>\nCHUCK!!! Monday nights. NBC. Be there. Also, Privileged needs some love too.<br \/>\n<b>Name a TV series you own on DVD:<\/b><br \/>\nI&#8217;m a DVD whore. Seriously. I have so many. Let&#8217;s see&#8230; Felicity, Friday Night Lights, One Tree Hill, Dawson&#8217;s Creek, CSI, Brothers and Sisters, Gilmore Girls, Heroes, Lost, Friends, Sex and the City, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Everwood, 90210, Smallville, Alias, 24, The OC, Roswell, Firefly, Veronica Mars.. etc etc.<br \/>\n<b>Name an actor who launched his\/her entertainment career in another medium but who has surprised you with his\/her acting chops in television:<\/b><br \/>\nRebecca Romijn (models turned actors are not usually so good)<br \/>\n<b>What is your favorite episode of your favorite series?<\/b><br \/>\n&#8220;True Love,&#8221; Dawson&#8217;s Creek<br \/>\n&#8220;The Gift,&#8221; Buffy the Vampire Slayer<br \/>\n&#8220;Foreverwood,&#8221; Everwood<br \/>\n<b>Name a show you keep meaning to watch but you just haven&#8217;t gotten around to yet:<\/b><br \/>\nRome (I promised my best friend Carmen I would give it another shot). The Tudors (I&#8217;ve had disc 2 of season 1 from Netflix for months now). The Office. How I Met Your Mother.<br \/>\n<b>Ever quit watching a show because it was so bad?<\/b><br \/>\nNot really. Once I get into a show and connect with the characters, I&#8217;m hooked until the bitter end (unless I just get bored like I did with Ugly Betty). I contemplated giving up on Alias (after the season 2 finale) and One Tree Hill (in season 2 when Anna and Felix arrived and then again in season 4 with Haley&#8217;s pregnancy) but I was (am) too invested in the characters.<br \/>\n<b>Name a show that&#8217;s made you cry multiple times:<\/b><br \/>\nEverwood. I cried when bad things happened. And when good things happened. That show really got to me. Gawd, it was <i>good<\/i>.<br \/>\n<b>How often do you watch TV?<\/b><br \/>\nUhhh. Every day. \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\n<b>What&#8217;s your favorite\/preferred genre of TV?<\/b><br \/>\nI&#8217;m drawn mostly to (teen) dramas (Dawson&#8217;s Creek, One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, etc). But I also enjoy the secret identity\/spy\/superhero type of shows, like Buffy, Chuck, Alias, Reaper, Heroes.<br \/>\n<b>What was the first TV show you were obsessed with?<\/b><br \/>\nBeverly Hills 90210. I was only 10\/5th grade when it premiered so I wasn&#8217;t supposed to be watching it but I did. I was so obsessed that I used to horde my money to buy BOP and Teen Beat so I could tear out the pictures of Jason Priestly. Heh.<br \/>\n<b>What TV show do you wish you never watched?<\/b><br \/>\nReality shows like the ones on MTV and VH1&#8230; My Sweet Sixteen, Flavor of Love, I Love New York, etc. I don&#8217;t actually sit down and watch these shows but even seeing a glimpse while flipping channels drives me crazy.<br \/>\n<b>What is the weirdest show you enjoyed?<\/b><br \/>\nI enjoy a lot of random shows but they&#8217;re not really weird&#8230; Say Yes to the Dress (I cannot stop watching this &#8212; I still love looking at wedding dresses), Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, Ace of Cakes, The Rachel Zoe Project.<br \/>\n<b>What TV show scared you the most?<\/b><br \/>\nI get scared EASILY so I tend not to watch shows that would freak me out. But serial killer storylines always get me, like the Carver storyline on Nip\/Tuck and the Blue Paint Killer on CSI. ((shivers))<br \/>\n<b>What is the funniest TV show you have ever watched?<\/b><br \/>\nI&#8217;m not a huge fan of sitcoms. I don&#8217;t know why. But I always used to laugh out loud at Friends. ??? Sorry, I&#8217;m lame.<br \/>\n<b>Do you prefer TV to films?<\/b><br \/>\nTV. I love following my favorite characters week after week.<br \/>\n<b>Name current TV relationships that you love.<\/b><br \/>\nBlair\/Serena, Gossip Girl. They are so dysfunctional. I adore them.<br \/>\nNathan\/Haley, One Tree Hill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was tagged by Ceci for this meme&#8230; 1. Post these rules. 2.
