I usually work late- I can end anywhere from 9pm to 11pm. So when I come home, I'm still pretty wired. But because I've been at work all day dealing with emotional stuff (read: I work at a domestic violence shelter) I like to come home, eat dinner with mah boo and then be completely socially anti-social.
Socially anti-social is my way of saying that I am physically in the presence of my boyfriend but we both sit in complete silence. I understand how it can be weird to outsiders, but it's cool. We sit in silence and every once in awhile we may look up at each other and say "I love you" or whatnot, but generally we sit in silence.
Judge away.
Anyways, I love documentaries. I love them. I watch at least one a day. Yes you read that right. I watch a documentary every day.
And I love the weird ones. I watch serial killer documentaries, anything on drugs I love, documentaries about weird diseases, bizarre murder documentaries... anything weird, taboo and nasty I love.
In Netflix, I have seen the majority of the "Social and Cultural Documentaries" section. Owned it.
Yep, seen all these ones too.
As we are typing these I am watching a VICE documentary on sensory deprivation. Seriously.
While I do have an addiction to documentaries, I feel like it could be worse. Like I could be addicted to meth, right? Because I totally saw a documentary on meth and let me tell you that shit is crazy. Seriously guys- don't do meth.
Anyways that's my little admission... I love documentaries and will totally stay up all night on these weird documentary benders. And seeing how it is 1:45am, I think I am on one of those now.
What are your guys secret guilty pleasures that keep you up all night? (I feel like this sounds sexual. It's not. Unless for you it is, then by all means go for it).
This whole post cracked me up. I am into crime documentaries and serial killers and all that crazy stuff too...except then I creep myself out and always turn into that paranoid person checking behind shower curtains like I have some wild plan of attack to save us all if someone were actually hiding there.
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks for the tip on meth :-)
I am super paranoid too... but in a really useless way. Like I will not lock my porch door at night but I do sleep with a variety of steak knives and baseball bats under my bed. It makes absolutely no sense. On the rare occasion that I do watch a horro movie, I always try to figure out how long it would take for me to be killed and I don't think I've ever made it past 17 minutes. No survival skills here :/
DeleteOh I am totally the first one to die in a horror movie. Either that, or I'd be like, "F this...I'm outta here!"
DeleteI love the phrase socially anti social lol I love documentaries too...if I had netflix I'd be screwed...fortuneatly I have the ID channel for murder stories on the constant but bio has some good ones lately too. Oh I love ghost shows too! Those are what scare the hell out of me. Bring on the killers but ghosts...yikes! Haha
ReplyDeleteARGGHGH I miss ID. I want to move back to my parent's house just so I can have it. I overdosed on that channel. And they had such fun shows like "Behind Mansion Walls".. Ghosts don't bother me so much. I feel like they are just misunderstood and have a bad rap. The future therapist in me wants to sit down with them and be like "Let's discuss the whole not moving towards the light thing. What's up with that? Did someone hurt you in your past?" And we would like bond and whatnot. Normal stuff.
Deletewhen you can sit with someone in comfortable silence, you know you have a keeper. i'm also a fan of documentaries; when they had a serial killer special on AMC (ted bundy, jeffrey dahmer etc) i gobbled it all up and refused to acknowledge my phone or my husband LOL.
ReplyDeleteFor sure- I totally agree! I'm glad there's other people with sick, dark minds like me out there as well!
