I tend to join a bandwagon after it's begun.
Case in point: Harry Potter. The second book was out before I caught on. And I'm a teacher. (Yes, that is the ASL letter L I am holding up to my forehead.)
I also caught on to the Sopranos late. When the DH and I were first married and po' as po' can be, we went to the public library and checked out Sopranos videos for free. (What can I say? I was po' and white.)
Well, my most recent late jump on a bandwagon has been Weeds. It's been quite fun in a guilty sort of way. If you knew me in real life, you'd know that I am the sort of person that would NEVER do drugs. Ever, ever, ever.
In fact, the summer before I became a Momma, my girl friends and I went on our first annual girl trip. They decided to torture me and made believe that a bag of oregano was marijuana. Of course I did the total white girl scream. I'm such a sucker sometimes.
The show is fun as it shows the facade of suburbia. The only thing that isn't realistic is that people in this show actually know their neighbors.

I'm just the opposite. I get caught up in things right away (well many things) and then when it really catches on w/ the public; I lose interest. I'm some sort of pop culture psychic. Actually, the other half is the psychic. I just follow him cuz of peer pressure. :) BTW, sorry I've been so absent on your blog. What can I say? I'm a loser! It's klugula. I'm signing in as anonymous; cuz I don't have the motivation to log into my account and then comment. It's Friday, whaddya want?
Just noticed in my post that I said, "I was po' and white." Just wanted to clarify (for my single, solitary reader; thanks M.!)-- I am no longer poor, and I am still caucasian. :)
