April comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers

I mean, we're talkin' major time commitment, here. Even with fast-forwarding, or in my case, skipping around on YouTube for the clips I want, this kind of thing adds up, and daytime soaps are generally on five days a week, with about thirty-five minutes of content, maybe a little more, every day that they're on. But yeah, I kept seeing all those damned promos for the epic Dante/Sonny shootout thing on General Hospital, and instantly fell in love with Dominic Zamprogna, and the next thing I know, I'm reading the Dante Falconeri--great name, by the way--bio on Wikipedia and digging back through GH clips from last June, obsessively following his storyline. He is like the hottest sexiest good cop character on TV, and I am massively in love with him. Last year it was Jessica on One Life to Live, and Rebecca Budig just came back to AMC, and that makes three soaps, THREE, and I am NOT ALLOWED TO PICK UP ANYMORE SOAPS. If/when Dante leaves the canvas, I'll probably be able to drop GH without any regret, though (the same way I drop AMC whenever Greenlee leaves)--people are not kidding when they talk about how misogynistic and violent it is, and mob worship is not my bag.

This always happens when I'm in the middle of writing a paper. I have seriously come to believe that developing a sudden new fandom crush seems is a part of my writing process.
