I've been watching too much Animal Planet and A&E again. This seems to be developing into a rather unhealthy habit of mine, but I just can't stop. It appears that this will be the story of my life. One addiction after another is not exactly what my parents had hoped for me, but at least I'm moving from drugs and alcohol to a much more mind-numbing activity of mainstream television. The most harm I could do to someone while on a bad TV binge is accidentally tell one of my dorm-mates to sit and be a good girl. (Too late for avoiding this catastrophe.) I do, however, dread the day I am trying to catch up with a friend and demand in an authoritative voice that they "get on the ground" and interlock their fingers behind their head. That may lead to a few eyebrows being raised around campus.
I'm considering today a personal success. I was motivated enough to go on a cleaning spree and deep clean my entire dorm room. I was brave enough to call for police backup when a fellow resident's ex-boyfriend became a security threat. I was controlled enough not to swallow a "friend's" soul whole when she continued to behave shifty as hell around me. Unfortunately there are no secrets with me. I wish I could be an open book, but instead I have the irritating ability to sniff out even the slightest of changes in personality and social behavior patterns. Trust me, ignorance is bliss indeed. Success I say. Success.
As for this evening, I'm allowing myself to watch a few more episodes of Dogs 101 before I fall into a infomercial induced coma for the night. I'll sip my Earl Grey. I'll smoke my lucky cigarette. I'll dream up some new humanitarian policy that would exist only in an alternate universe. I'll sleep until my alarm rudely reminds me of my obligations in the reality we call home.
So did your dream up any new humanitarian policies or did infomercials send you into a complete coma where you could only see the despair of consumer-driven society? I'm going to have to come back again to find out :D
ReplyDeleteI did come up with a new humanitarian policy, but I doubt it will ever be realized. People in general often aren't motivated enough to think about those less fortunate than themselves. But I will be posting my idea soon. Thanks for the add! You are my first follower!
