Criminal Minds is taking over my mind

I’m serious. I come home from school and the the first thing I think about is Criminal Minds. And if I can’t control myself to go after more important priorities, I make my way upstairs to the computer and watch an episode or two of Criminal Minds online. I thank those servers in China for allowing me to stream it for free.

I started this obsession last week. Wednesday. I was bored and decided to watch some television, and what do you know, Criminal Minds is on. It was an old esisode, but I didn’t know that, I loved it. (It had Jason Alexander - that’s the guy that plays “George” in Seinfeld - playing a serial killer with long white hair. How could that not be awesome?) It was only 10pm when the show ended, so I Googled it and found more episodes. And I watched another one. And then I went to sleep.

Every day since that Wednesday, I have watched at least one episode, usually two or three, of Criminal Minds. For a few episodes the only place I could find free streaming was Megavideo, which of course became super annoying because of the 72 minute time limit. Annoying, but good, because sometimes I can’t self-control my addictions with unrealistic television dramas.

This latest obsession to be rather interesting. Firstly, I’ve watched Criminal Minds before and liked it. I just never became addicted. Secondly, this is my first obsession with a crime drama. I’ve always loved (teenage) dramas such as Dawson’s Creek, Gossip Girl, or the OC because of their criving plots. And while I like the CSIs and the Law and Orders, I’ve never went to the point of wanting to watch old episodes online. The new thing here is that I don’t need to watch them in order. I just go to Wikipedia’s List of Episodes and find one that sounds interesting.

For anyone reading that watches Criminal Minds, I love Reid. He’s such a dork.
