I’m so excited for my first Humpday Confession here on Jana Says. Yes, I know there are published posts but this is the first one I’ve written with my two blogs merged. It feels good. Not like “come home to a clean house with Matt Damon waiting to take me to dinner” good, but good.
That’s enough about that.
Let’s get to confessing.
To start, I need to say that I enjoy how Ian Somerhalder is now the face of Humpday confessions. Ryan Gosling is just fine but Boone from LOST? Better. Also, I know he’s on some vampire show but he will forever be Boone. Like NPH will always be Doogie Howser.
While we’re on the subject of TV shows, does anyone else automatically think of gangs conducting illicit activities every time they see a group of bikers (motorcycles, not bicycles) ride by? I totally do and I live off a road where many, many bikers ride. What I imagine those guys–who are most likely harmless–doing is probably fitting for an episode of Sons of Anarchy (Call me, Kurt Sutter. Let’s talk scripts.)
And did anyone else watch Rising Star? I confess that I totally didn’t want to but got sucked in watching it, especially after this one kid from Long Island sang and he was incredible. I still won’t download the app and actually vote but this little message it gave my husband will keep me watching:
Apparently this edition is all about TV so let’s keep going.
I don’t watch much reality TV because mostly it sucks but when I do, I watch 16 and Pregnant, Teen Mom (and I’m ecstatic it’s on for another season #noshame), and I confess I am completely mesmerized by the Duggars. As in, I want to stop watching 19 Kids and Counting because Jim Bob is the worst and it’s so painfully constructed and fake and but I can’t. They’re fascinating. I have to see what they do next.
I confess that I realize my taste in reality programing makes me essentially a 17 year old girl.
I confess I’m absolutely fine with that.
You know what else starts this week? Girl Meets World. Or, as I’m calling it, Cory and Topanga Had a Kid and Now There’s A New Show. I confess I’ve totally been following along for the last year, including watching all the trailers and getting little girl excited over the updates in my FB news feed.
I also confess that I stop my life many days to watch the reruns of Boy Meets World on MTV2. #noshame
And for my final confession, I will say that when a show I want to watch but am behind on doesn’t have the episodes on On Demand, I get stabby. Especially if it’s a show I want to keep binge watching but can’t because I’d have to miss essential beginning of the season episodes. Also, I’m starting to think that binge watching shows is my new hobby. And another also, I found this on BuzzFeed about 25 binge worthy shows you need to watch from the beginning.
To bring it back to the beginning, LOST is #5 on the list. Proving that Ian > Ryan. So kudos to you, Kathy. Excellent choice (even though I know someone made the button for you and I totally give her kudos as well but you made the decision to keep it so you get props).
Any TV confessions you’d like to share? It’s okay. This is a safe place. Confess away.
Linking up with Kathy from Vodka and Soda, as usual.
i know your email so when i clicked on your link and saw a different website, i was like wait a sec…what’s going on here?! i’ve been sort of absent from the blogworld due to a crazy work schedule for the past 2wks so forgive me that i’ve been out of the loop!
i dont know how you’ve managed to run 2 blogs for this long; i can barely even keep up with ONE! but i do love the new look/layout/blog.
thanks for linking up!

I just kind of sprung it on everyone. I’d been thinking about it for awhile and just decided it made sense. Now if I could just get the theme to work with my new header, I’d be all set!
I never watched Boy Meets World, but I see so many awesome gifs that I started watching it recently. The gateway was so many people being excited about Girl Meets World

I watched it all the time with my little sister so the show has a special place in my heart. I’m excited to watch the new one with my daughter.
I vaguely remember Boy Meets World but I’m sure I’ll watch the new show – I am terrible TV addict lol

It’s actually one of the few shows I love to watch in reruns. It’s such a fun show.
I agree, they will always be Boone and Doogie. No question about it. I’m real excited that he’s the new face for Humpday ;)Sons of Anarchy is my favorite show, therefore every time a group of bikers (or just one) goes by me, I think of that. And since I live in the middle of the city, it happens alot. I have yet to see a Charlie Hunnam yet, though!
If a Charlie Hunnam drove by my house, I’d chase him down the street. #noshame. SOA is one of my favorites, too. I can’t wait for next season! Jax is going to lose his mind.
#noshame here either. I’ve never tackled a guy off of a motorcycle, but there’s a first time for everything 🙂 He really is gonna lose his mind! It’s going to be intense, that’s for sure.
katie @ that’s for me to know recently posted…i fell asleep while curling my hair
I’m excited that my goddaughter gets to watch basically the same show I watched as a kid! (Girl Meets World) Also, most of the tv I watch is to relax, which means I don’t like a lot popular shows like Breaking Bad or The Wire. I’ll stick with How I Met Your Mother, thanks. 😉
Shows like Breaking Bad actually do relax me. It’s fun to get caught up in them.
I’ve never watched The Vampire Diaries so Ian will ALWAYS be Boone to me!
I am so with you on getting stabby when shows aren’t available On Demand. On a similar note, last night we had bad storms, which affected our satellite and thus my recordings. I think I’ve managed to find them all On Demand but if I hadn’t…. rage.
Gwen @ Confessions of a Gila Monster recently posted…The “I got out of the house” Weekend
When I go to the trouble of remembering to record a show and it gets interrupted, I get very stabby. And if it isn’t On Demand, it’s ugly rage. Verizon has been cursed many, many times.
I really want Corey and Topanga Have a Child not to suck. Please let it be good!
If I binge on a show, I sort of drop out of life. I got in deep with The Sopranos last year. I think I watched 46 episodes in 8 days.
I am hoping it doesn’t suck. But let’s be honest. I’ll totally watch it if it does.
I get like that with binge watching, too. And if Scott and I are watching a show together and he isn’t around to watch episodes with me, I get itchy.
Oh my gooodddd Teen Mom and 16 & Pregnant all day long. If there’s a marathon on, I can forget about any plans I had that day. I don’t know what it is! I think it just makes me feel that much better about my life knowing that I don’t have kids yet. Hahaha.
There was one on this past Sunday and I literally did nothing except sit in a chair, read a book, and watch it. And I’m so judgy, too, mostly with the girls’ parents. They’re a wreck!
haha this is great! tv binge watching for the win. cant wait for girl meets world-hope it isnt super lame. and hells yes Boone, even though i watch that vampire show too.
Kristen recently posted…Humpday Confessions
If it’s lame, I don’t care. I’ll totally watch. And oh, Boone. So hot. I was PISSED when they killed him.
Ahhhhh I am so excited for Girl Meets World! I really really need it to be good and to last!! I was said when Surviving Jack up and left after a few episodes and I don’t need a nother show to tank.
I watch a lot of weird shit: Grimm, Vampire Diaries, Originals…and I watch ABC Family shows like Pretty Little Liars and Twisted…so there is no TV judging from me.
Nadine recently posted…Confessions
That is exactly why I really don’t invest in new shows. All the ones I like wind up getting canceled.
I say watch what you want. You know I’m all about #noshame
I love reality TV, Big Brother is getting ready to start and I’m excited!
I hate it when a show I want to watch is not on demand too. Why is this a thing? Isn’t the point of On Demand so I can watch what I want when I want!?!
Kelli recently posted…The News Annoys Me and Other Confessions
Right? How dare they to have what I want when I want it?! It mostly makes me angry when a show is in the middle of a season and on demand gets rid of the first few. How can I catch up???
Jim Bob and his crew can totally get me sucked in too. I don’t even know how it happens. Same thing with Sister Wives- I just have to keep watching!
Kate recently posted…Confessions of a TV Addict
I tried with Sister Wives. They just creeped me out and couldn’t do it. Jim Bob is so smug and horrible and I want to punch him. And those poor older girls. But they have a Jana, so that’s awesome in my book.
Loving the new/old look! I love that most of the shows on the BuzzFeed article I have seen. Binge watching is the best!
Kerry recently posted…North Carolina | Road Trip Part I
Binge watching IS the best. I’ve seen many of those shows as well, but I watched them when you couldn’t binge watch. I feel so smart and my good taste is clearly validated.
Your not watching reality TV makes me sad. So many good train wrecks to watch on reality tv haha. And yes the Duggers fascinate me. Not sure yet if I mean that in a good or bad way!
I can’t decide if my fascination is good or bad, either. But how can you not be totally sucked in by them?
I used to watch a lot of reality shows but I just couldn’t take the cattiness and yelling and meanness anymore.
Love me som Ian although I had to stop watching the Vamps because it got ridiculous. My confession is I’m still watching FNL…still! I also watch 16 and pregnant because it makes me feel so much better about my own life. I think “whew!” 🙂
Tonya@Budget and the Beach recently posted…Why Happy is More Beautiful than Beautiful
YOU are still watching FNL? **falls over in shock
16 and Pregnant makes me so sad but it reminds me why I made the choices I did.
I am oddly excited for Girl Meets World! That show was such a staple for me growing up and I never missed an episode. I can’t wait for it to start! I have like 10 shows on my list to binge watch ha ha.
Kenzie S recently posted…you know, just confessing over here
I need to create a binge watch list.
My sister and I never missed an episode, either. It was our Friday night ritual.
Making a binge list is a brilliant idea! I must do that!
Kenzie S recently posted…exciting news + thank you
Pete and I were just talking about when On Demand doesn’t have shows yesterday!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK! He said some have whole seasons but ours (ATT) only keeps them on there for a few weeks. RUDE!
I am way too excited for Girl Meets World – they definitely created it for the adults to watch for nostalgia 🙂

My husband has never watched Lost, but I’m a bit reluctant to start it over as I HATED the ending. I’m guilty of watching the Real Housewife series, it’s like you can’t look away.
