You know that feeling you have when you love a series so much that the thought of it ending hurts your soul? That is love! Or as close as you can love fictional characters. Oops- confession time, I am in love with -wait for it- HIMYM! Not that big of a shock, right? It is a life changing series that has a divided fan base- yellow umbrella fans versus blue french horn fans. I am a yellow umbrella fan and a huge Barney- wait for it- Stinston, BARNEY STINSON fan! I can go on and on about how Barney and Robin should of ended up together instead of Robin and Ted. Uhmmm .... Spoilers? Oh geeze, its been a few years now- most of us have watched the entire series but if you haven’t, I am sorry because you are missing out on a masterpiece. Lets forget about the spoilers and get down to business. I am a hardcore fan of HIMYM. I know something else that is hardcore..... Dammit Barney, get out of my head. Since the series ended- I have rewatched it an estimated twenty times from beginning to end. Here is my daily routine; wake up, play HIMYM on Kindle, take shower, play HIMYM on Kindle while in the shower, do homework, play HIMYM, go to work, play HIMYM, go to sleep, play HIMYM- I think you get the idea now. I am always watching How I met your mother and every time I feel as though I learn or realize something new about the show or the characters. I am able to see the changes in their personality more clearly and am able to appreciate some characters more then others such as Barney! Barney is unappreciated by his best friends. He had to force Ted the entire series to accept him as a best friend while Ted only acknowledged Marshall as his best friend. I mean, come on Barney almost died trying to get to Ted in the hospital. Don’t get me started on Robin; as soon as she and Barney got a divorce she was back on the Ted train. Seriously woman?! Seriously!!!! Ted maybe more emotionally stable and more emotionally available then Barney but Barney was always there for the big moments. Barney saved Robin from getting deported, and he got Robin’s dad to apologize to Robin and acknowledge her for who she is for the first time in her entire life but yet...... She wants Ted instead??!?! Screw that honey! SCEW IT! What was my main topic again......? Oh yes, my obsession with HIMYM. It is borderline unhealthy because even though Netflix has so many movies and shows available to watch, I always end up watching HIMYM. I can’t even go to sleep without hearing HIMYM in the background. I am writing this while listening to HIMYM! Crazy right?! I don’t need to actually watch it to know what is happening. I have rewatched this series so many times that all I need is the audio to picture exactly what is happening in the show. So is this an unhealthy obsession? Yes! Will I stop watching HIMYM? Probably not! What else am I going to do without Barney in my life with his crazy adventurers. Ah, crazy idea- dear producers of HIMYM, please please make a series called How I Met Your Father, where Barney’s baby mother stars in the journey to Barney! Now that would be legen - wait for it - dary!
