Merlin: Taking Away All My Street Cred

I think I'll feel better once I get this out in the open, and I don't care if I have to drag Danielle down with me a little bit.

Last week, I watched all of BBC's recent series, Merlin. It was really good.



It's a bit like Arthurian legends, in that there's magic and various people and places have the same names. I think that's it for similarities, though. Partially it's just cute and fun, but overall it's clever. I don't know. It's very good. I'm telling you.

Anyway, a few points of how this show has made me an unlikeable person:

1. While watching the first series, I sent Danielle like 20 emails about Merlin and Arthur's EPIC LOVE. She only responded when she had something completely unrelated to say, and once to tell me, "idc."



2. I went to the website and became kind of obsessed with this Camelot Defence game, although it has little to do with the series. I sent the link to Danielle and now we play it every so often and talk about strategy. At length.



3. Also--and this part doesn't really reflect poorly on Danielle (although it should, because she hangs out with me)--but when I'm cold in my house, instead of putting on a sweater, I tie this big red blanket around my neck and wear it like a cape. Like a knight of Camelot. (Or Superman, but to be honest, I'm thinking of Camelot.)
   
   At best, this happens when I'm alone, and then it's still equal parts embarrassing and awesome.
