Sucked into the Black Hole of Hulu

I know that I haven't posted in a few days, but I have a good reason... I promise!

Okay, so it might not be a good reason, but it's a reason nonetheless....

I got sucked into the big black hole known as Hulu. It is an evil website that is trying to steal my soul... and the sad part is it's fun!!! How can anything that is so successful at ruining my abilities to be productive be fun??? It's just craziness!

*Edit: I was just reading through the final version and I realized that I have fun doing almost anything that ruins my ability to be productive... I mean, except stuff like being chased by monsters and battling lions and stuff... although battling lions would be pretty cool I guess...

The show that I've most recently become addicted to is called "If I Can Dream." If any one of you has seen this show, then you will understand-- it's impossible not to be sucked in by it!

I'm not going to explain the premise of the show because that would take up entirely too much of this post, and I'm sure an explanation is easy to come by, so let's just skip over that and talk more about how sad I am because I give up my life to websites like this.

I go through phases like this pretty regularly. I'll become fixated on a show and watch it whenever I have free time. I am emotionally invested in these shows (which is probably unhealthy considering a lot of them are competition shows and it ruins my day when my favorite person gets voted off...) and I would rather watch them than be social. It's a problem.

I understand that I'm not a very social person anyways, but I feel like I'm sinking into the realm of WOW obsessed people. That scares me. I don't want to start wearing coke-bottle glasses and t-shirts with magical creatures on them!!!! Once I start wearing socks with my sandals I'll know I'm doomed....

Hulu is not the only thing I've become addicted to lately... there's this game called Isoball 2 that is the most addicting thing I've ever played. To be fair, I've never been one for video games, but this one is so good! Note: I am a complete nerd, so don't be surprised if you think it's the most lame thing that you've ever played. Just because I can be entertained by it for hours does not mean that I expect everyone else to feel the same way. Actually, that probably means that most people won't feel the same way... don't worry, I'll understand.

My addictions come out of nowhere and surprise even me. I guess in a way it keeps my life interesting? Okay, now it just sounds like I'm trying to make excuses for my life... which I guess is pretty accurate.

I'm just going to insert a note saying how awkward I find it to end a post. I never know what to say.... hmmm.... if anyone can tell me the origin of this quote you will be my new favorite person... but you have to email it to me, because we don't want everyone piggybacking off your answer and pretending like they actually knew it when they didn't... so email me at kindofagirlthing@yahoo.com if you know the answer!!!

What is this quote from? "your favorite way to say red wine in a german accent? RED VINES!"

If you get it right, you are officially my new best friend.

The Failings of Being Socially Awkward

Alright. I admit it. I'm not the most socially adept person ever. It's true. This breaks down to mean a lot of different things in my life, one of the main ones being that I have trouble accomplishing simple tasks because there seem to be insurmountable obstacles in my way. I am currently in such a predicament.

I am starving.

I cannot get dinner.

Why?

Because I'm socially awkward.

Allow me to explain further:
I have this weird problem with going places by myself. Especially places involving food. I don't know why. If I did I could probably fix it. I will only go to such places if I am not alone. This does not seem like a problem to those of you who have countless friends on your phone that you can call up and chat with anytime, but for someone like me it is a little difficult. This may be because every time I pick up my phone and contemplate calling someone, I have an internal debate about whether or not I would be bothering that person. My mind seems intent on convincing me that I imagined the friendship with this person the entire time and said person is really just somewhat of an acquaintance that I managed to bully the phone number out of. After 10 minutes of enduring this psychological melodrama, I usually believe that this person and I never were, and probably never will be, friends. This means that I have no one to go to the dining hall with except for my roommate.

Roommate would be a viable choice if she were not currently asleep. She's been asleep for hours now (in the middle of the day) and I'm afraid to wake her up. Not because I think she would be angry with me and flail and possibly kill herself, me or both, but because I cannot bring myself to wake up anyone who is sleeping. What if the sleeping person is having the best dream of their entire life and they are about to reach the pinnacle of said dream and I rip them out of it right before that can happen? Wouldn't that be the most disappointing thing ever? I would think so. There is also the chance that they are receiving valuable insights from a deceased relative on the other side. I could wake them up right before they find out when and where a rapist will be waiting for them in the near future. Now I just raped someone... well.... in a way. In either case, I would not want to wake someone up from any sort of sleep. Ever.

So here I am in the middle of this predicament. I suppose I could summon the courage to run over the the student center and grab something quickly, stuff it in a bag, and run back to my dorm while trying to keep my head down so people don't notice the stupid girl who is taking food back to her dorm because no one loves her enough to eat with her. See? I'm totally crazy inside. It's a problem.

Well, let's hope I find a way to get some food before I starve out here.
