My television list consists of several reality shows. I know most people consider them mindless, but they appeal to me. I've always had a terrible habit of staring at people. I want so desperately to figure them out: why is this person popular, why isn't this person popular, why is this person so mean, is this person really as nice as others believe, why is this person picked on, etc. Since it's so difficult for me to get close to people in person, I guess this is a way to study their behavior, without the negative reactions I get from staring. I've really tried to break myself of this habit, in recent years. I never realized I was doing it noticeably, until I heard others talking about it.

Television Shows

1. Medium
2. So You Think You Can Dance
3. Survivor
4. Little People, Big World
5. Deadliest Catch
6. Wife Swap or Trading Spouses
7. Freaks And Geeks!! !! ! (This really should have been number one! I almost forgot to add it, since I haven't seen it in so long. It was tragically cancelled after the first season. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and get the entire season!)
8. Seinfeld
9. Curb Your Enthusiasm
10. Hannah Montana (I watch with my daughter. Jackson cracks me up! :D )

Books

1. Sense And Sensibility
2. Pride And Prejudice
3. Emma
4. Jane Eyre
5. Wuthering Heights
6. The Glass Castle
7. Circle Of Friends
8. The Glass Lake
9. The Revelation (Abram's Daughters) - I am by no means a religious person, but I enjoy all the Christian Amish book series. This series was my favorite!
10. I Never Promised You A Rose Garden
