Sometimes you just can't say no!

Hi, I’m Christina and I’m an addict.

My drug of choice is Otalia. Actually, more correctly, any and all things Crystal Chappell and Jessica Leccia.

Oh how I crave to see those dimples, lips and eyes. Oh those soulful eyes. The way Natalia and Olivia have powerful conversations without saying a word to one another. I melt every single time they appear on screen! I <3 them!

I’ve never really been a fangirl for anything! Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had my fangirl moments for the shows I watch and the couples I may root for, but I typically don’t care who they end up with or how the storyline ends. I watch TV for the escape. I watch to go along for the ride. I usually end up connecting and relating to these characters’ personalities and how the feel and react to the events in their lives, but when it comes down to it, it is about how I relate their stories to things in my life. I usually pick up a subtle theme or emotion for the week in my shows. Which typically it’s something I’ve been thinking about or feeling in that moment. I analyze it. I process it through my thinking out loud debate back and forth writing process I do so I know how I feel about the thought or emotion at hand. So, in other words it’s a cathartic release – and by far a much cheaper form of therapy.

But, with Otalia I’ve become such a fangirl it’s kind of scary. I’m not afraid to admit that my day revolves around the hour a sit down and watch Guiding Light, regardless at what time I watch it. During that hour I don’t do anything, but watch. Well, technically I have a my little notebook and write down notes on moments, thoughts and feelings of what I’m seeing on my screen and what I’m thinking and feeling. But, I’m solely focused on the show.

So, needless to say I was beyond excited for today. The lovely Jessica Leccia returned to Guiding Light. That meant the dimpled freaking superhero Natalia Rivera has returned to Springfield. And it made me so happy. SO HAPPY! My heart stopped, the tears formed and I forgot to breathe the moment those dimples appeared. And honestly it happened every single time I saw Natalia and Olivia today cause I was dying for the moment that they would finally come face to face. Then the tears just started falling. I was such a mess!

I have so much to say about today’s episode. What I saw, how I reacted and how I feel about it all. What I think is coming up and how it will play out – or at least how I hope it turns out. But, I’m too emotionally raw and stunned that I just can’t do so. Maybe later. I just had to confess my addiction and my pure excitement that Natalia is finally home!
