MDJunction to me

ThereseML"When I first came to MDJ, I was in need of peer support in dealing with issues of my childhood abuse. I was moving away from the painful issues and trying to find an uplifting group of people to help me transition to a thriver in my life. I found that here. I also found a group of peers with Fibromyalgia and found the same uplifting experience there. My computer crashed and it was a while before I found my way back, this time with issues related to Parkinson's Disease. I had tried a few other support sites before reminding myself of MDJ. On those, I never got a reply. I finally found my way back here and again found very supportive, caring and inspiring people who made me feel like I was 'back home'. Indeed I am." (ThereseML)

Not like right now, now. But like what show are you currently actively watching, in the middle of a season of and watching daily or weekly. Im currently watching "Misfits", its this super crazy awesome british show about these teens on probation that get struck by some kind of special lightning and they get special powers. Its interesting as hell. Its available on Hulu if you wanted to check it out. Its holding my interest, and right now, that takes alot.

I like "The Dead Files", but I think the season is over. I'm also watching "Celebrity Ghost Stories" and "My Ghost Story".

I've mostly stopped watching things because if I enjoy it I get too invested and it affects my mood mostly negatively.

I watch anime, but am not currently into a specific show. The last one I watched was Yuru Yuri. I'm watching the current season of Super Sentai in Japanese with my bf, but we're several weeks behind now. We're on season 4 of Kamen Rider, also subbed and recently neglected.

My bf has been watching a couple shows mostly while I'm around, so I'm semi-watching Skins and Sliders. I sat through a few episodes of Quantum Leap last night when I was home sick. Futurama still holds my attention.

My last obsession was True Blood; I watched a season a day until I'd caught up. Then I collected and read all the books Then I got ECT and forgot most of the story line. Sad I don't know how far behind in the show I am now. I've made it to ep 1 of season 4 of Dexter, but my neglect of that show has a bit to do with having been confronted with John Lithgow's bare behind; no thanks.

I watch very little TV. What I do watch is Cops and any show related to jail or cops. I have a bit of an obsession with cops.

When my husband is home early (which is almost never) we watch Jeopardy. Occasionally I watch The Colbert Report or Dave Chappelle. For news, we read the NY Times.

@Broken, You might really like this one show, Highschool of the Dead, its amazing, zombies, violence, a great story, its got it all, plus its anime. Something special about anime zombies, also im pretty sure its only a season long so you dont have to worry about becoming too invested for too long.

The Dead Files is about a psychic and a retired NYPD homicide detective. He does his investigation and then she does her psychic walk through the location. At the end of the show, they get together and compare results.

The psychic is amazingly accurate, so either she's the real thing or it's all scripted and fake. Hard to tell with TV shows.

I've been regularly watching "Boardwalk Empire" and "Homeland." And of course, the occasional "Hoarders" and "Intervention." It's like being at work... but not. I can never get away from work.

American Horror Story is awesome! Best show on right now IMO. Just saw it for the first time about two weeks ago, though we had them all taped on our DVR and now my hubby and I are all caught up. It's on FX and about these ghosts that haunt this family living in this creepy house in LA. Very good! : )
