Ode to Lost

Dearest Lost,

I have missed you so much. Why were you away so long? I thought we had something great, and then you left.

And now you waltz back in here with your recap goodness and make me forget my anger at your distance. Your theme music beckons me in, despite the dishes that need to be done and the laundry that needs to be folded. I see the families reuniting in a flash forward and I'm actually crying. CRYING. All their love, loss and tragedy rolled into bittersweet tears.

I will watch you, be with you faithfully through this season. I will note every detail and obsess about your cunning mysteries. I will discuss theories and plot twists with anyone who will listen. I will be faithful to you on Wednesday nights, even though I know we will have to separate once again at the end. You'll leave me wanting more, as always, and asking even more questions than when the season started.

Why are you so selfish? How did you become so amazing? It really doesn't matter, I'm just so happy that you're back.

Love,
Lindsey

That was a laugh! I never really got into Lost, but I can appreciate your feelings of waiting for seasons!

Honestly, sometimes I wonder how we're best friends!! It took me half-way through to realize you were talking about a TV show!!

It's like when Jared sent me to the store to buy food for a camp-out. On the list was 'Nutty Bars'. I called him and asked if he wanted Nutter butters. No, he wanted nutty bars, the kind made by Little Debbie. Then I wondered, "where are the little debbie things?" I really need to pay attention to the world a little more!

Enjoy your TV show. I am sorry I won't be able to discuss any part of it with you, but I am glad it brings you joy=)
