LOSSSST!

I am obsessed with LOST and I'm not ashamed to say it! Justin and I started watching the series this past summer, after hearing incredible things about it. I found season 1 for dirt cheap, and figured if we didn't like it, then oh, well. It took Justin a little longer than it took me - I think it was the fact that some things were so far-fetched that made him kinda skeptical.. Not me. Episode 1 and I was a gonner! Once he admitted it was addicting, it was inevitable that we would end up getting the rest of the seasons as soon as we could get our mits on them!! We ripped through Season 1 in maybe a week? Season 2 within days! I remember watching episodes for days and days.. One night, after watching 5 or 6 episodes in a row, Justin and I look at eachother shamefully, and say.. "Maybe just one more??!!" Augh! By that time, we hooked my entire family, as well as Stacie and Dan! We ripped through Seasons 3 and 4 and ended up having to wait for 5 to come out on dvd (FINALLY, this past January!), and now here we are. Caught up, and ready to rumble.

The final season of LOST premieres tomorrow night and oh, shinto. Justin and I will be ready, front and center. My fellow Lost buddy, Stacie, mentioned that there was a screening of the premiere in Hawaii on January 30, and it's going to be so mind-blowing that we will be practically "falling out of our seats". I can't wait to fall out of my seat!! It's too bad some of our friends here are so against it, without ever giving it a chance. Whatevs, their loss!!

In my excitement, I have been following some blogs (especially this one!), Lostie websites and ABC.com's promos and previews.. EEEEE!!!! Because I'm so obsessed with this amazing show, I thought it would be fun to look at our favorite Lost characters, and see where they were before they were "LOST". Enjoy!
