110. I get so jealous of people who actually HAD a senior prom...
111. If you have the money for it, I'd suggest looking into Tivo or DVR. Then you'd only be a day or two behind, and only would have to avoid online fandom for a day. I used to be SO behind on American fandoms before my family got DVR.
141. Disney Princesses!! <333
142. I don't know if his "OCD" is really meant to be taken seriously, though...? I mean, real OCD is a serious problem, but how often is Hollywood OCD realistic?
148. Nerds =/= geeks!
168. I would've cried, but my brother made jokes about it and I felt stupid. DARN BROTHER!
173. He does seem like a pretty fun guy...
Re: 110, 142
142. Speaking as someone with two severely OCD-afflicted friends, Monk does a pretty good job of portraying it for the most part. Most often writers ignore the mental anguish and all the worrying that comes with it, though. I guess that doesn't make for good entertainment.
Re: 110, 142
(Anonymous) 2008-05-29 07:06 am (UTC)(link)IDK if you read many web comics, but I'm also prone to feeling a bit huffy over the character of Hannelore in Questionable Content. Again, her fears are presented as comedic. However, the creator Jeff, if I remember correctly, has OCD as well, so perhaps his experience is just different than mine. Maybe I am too uptight and need to learn to laugh at myself. Still, even though I am now in a stable enough position to realize that many of my old fears were really quite laughable and absurd... they don't strike me as entertaining. Rather, they're a source of shame, an irrational anomaly I've got to hide that doesn't jive with my bookish, studently ways.
I guess you are right in saying that the drawn out, continueing anguish doesn't make for good TV, but hell, I'd really like for somebody to try.
Re: 142
I don't read webcomics much, but it does seems that, like with other personality-related disorders, everyone's experience varies. I know three people with depression, for instance, that are all diagnosed with the same type yet are so completely different and approach it so uniquely from one another that you almost wouldn't believe they had the same thing. I'm glad to see that you've gotten over the worst of it, however, since it seems to be truly unbearable. That's something to be proud of!
Honestly, I think that sort of subject matter would be best for a movie, since a television series with too much inner dialog/angst doesn't tend to make it very far unless it's a soap opera. I could swear there's been a movie in the past that focused on OCD, but damned if I can't think of it.
