@early-onset-of-night:
i'm writing this mostly for you mr. kindt, and also because i think my small group of followers might find this interesting.
recently a young man moved into my house and i have come to find that he is somewhat full of himself. we were swapping out the DVR in my bedroom with the regular cable box in the living room. i asked what time it was because i wanted to tape jersey shore. and do you know what he said? "every time you watch jersey shore a book commits suicide."
i laughed so hard and he had no idea why. what a tool. he quoted something he saw on facebook (as he has no tumblr) and didn't even know who wrote it. but i do.
and in my self defense: the ONLY reason i watch jersey shore is because it is literally the only forty five minutes i can have drool running down my face with my tongue hanging out. i don't have to use my brain at all. i spend eighteen hours a day on top speed (plus insomnia), and so on friday afternoon or saturday morning when i want to COMPLETELY veg out, i turn a little jersey shore on. i let my brain turn off while my eyes stay open, and sometimes i have it running in the background while i fold laundry or clean my room. so sue me.
Now that is hilarious! I'm glad I'm being quoted far, far away. What fun! That post has certainly made the rounds. I saw a printout of it in the teacher's lounge of my son's school. I didn't say it was from me :)
