the men I sleep with. :)

Hey guys. :)

Ok, so I'm apparently REALLY bad at remembering to post blogs, and the bad thing is that I think about posting new blogs all the time!  Haha, I just don't HAVE the time.  School is keeping me busy (AND I just got a job!! So that'll be occupying a LOT of my free time now..). 

ANYways.. it's after 2 in the morning, and I'm wide awake.  This is VERY normal for me; I'm up this late every night.  I'm not sure what it is, but since I was a little kid, I just never was interested in going to sleep at night.  Part of me thinks it was 'cause nighttime was the only time I ever had just to myself, especially since I grew up with a younger sister and brother.  I didn't really stay up that late while my sister and I shared a room, though.  I started staying up late, consistently, once I finally got my own room.  It's always been kind of peaceful to stay up late, 'cause it's really a very private, quiet personal amount of time for me.  I don't really know why.  However, when it does get to be about 3 o'clock in the morning (which, btw, I'll say I try to NOT stay up past 'cause I have a hard time going to sleep knowing that it's the 'witching hour'), I start getting pretty sleepy.  Now, I've been afraid of the dark ever since I was little, which makes the fact that I like staying up late a little ironic.  But seriously, when I'm actually trying to settle down and relax and go to sleep, I have to have either a light on (a dim light, like a night light.. as lame as that sounds for an almost 22 year old woman to say..), OR I have to have the TV on.  It doesn't have to be audible to where I understand what's being said or going on; I just have to hear the noise.  My boyfriend can't sleep without a fan on, so I guess it's kind of the same concept.  

I go to sleep with the TV on every night (we have Netflix on our Wii at my apartment.  It's pretty epic.).  Now, I can't just put anything on the TV when I'm trying to go to sleep.  It has to relax me.  Since high school, the only two shows that can relax me to where I can go to sleep are:  Mythbusters and Dirty Jobs.

I LOVE Mythbusters.  I don't know why; I think it's the different personalities of Adam and Jamie constantly playing against each other.  I can't really stand Kari, I don't know why.  I think she tries a little TOO hard to be 'eclectic'.  I think Tory is cute, but can you believe he's 40???  I know, there's no way.  A few of my favorite episodes would have to be:  The Shark Week specials, Killer Brace Position, Salsa Escape (one of my favorite explosions EVER on the show is in this episode - they blow up a cement truck. YouTube it.), the Pirate Special (where they test whether or not eye patches were actual used to help pirates see in the dark - very cool), any of the Hollywood myths, the Alaska specials.. really, it's unfair for me to pick just ONE favorite episode, or even give a top 5.  I like 'em all.  :)

Ah.. Mike Rowe. :) :)  I LOOOVE Dirty Jobs.  Basically, I'm going to marry Mike Rowe.  My boyfriend knows this, and has accepted it, 'cause there's just nothing he can do to change my mind.  :)  (I love you, Adam!)  Mike is sexxy.. and I don't care what you or anyone else says or thinks.. he's a fine man.  Age is not an issue.  Haha.  Ok.. moving on... 

I cannot give a favorite episode, 'cause like Mythbusters, I like 'em all.  I think Mike is perfect for the show, and he's from the same area where I was born. :)  Haha.  Some of my favorite episodes to watch are again, the Shark Week episodes, the Monkey Researcher one (where he's at a monkey rehabilitation center in Africa called APES), really ANY episode where he's got to deal with animals are fun ones for me to watch.  I really can't give a list - it just wouldn't be fair. 

I tend to watch a lot of the same episodes for both of these shows over and over again, because different episodes have different moods and tones to me; it's hard to explain.  Some episodes stress me out more than others, and so those are the ones I don't watch when I'm trying to sleep.  That's not to say I don't watch them at all, of COURSE I still watch my favorite shows, haha.. I just watch certain ones at night.

But EVERY night, no lie, I've got one of these two shows on as I'm going to sleep.

Tonight is a Mythbusters night.

Shark Week Special 2, to be exact.

It's on Netflix - you should go watch it!!
