part deux

Now where was I before I got so engrossed by the speech? Oh yes, the chat rooms. I found that I was really turned of by these people who were so familiar with the talent, the on-air personalities. They weren't really there for the news, they were there to chat up the talent. They get all familiar with one another and then the talent gets familiar-ish with them and then it gets clique-y on the part of the chat people (I'm extrapolating here since I wasn't really around long enough to see the process start to finish). 

I don't know - it's all friendly and everything, but for me it's disquieting. I like that glass wall. I like the personalities up on the screen. It's not that I don't like the talent, because I do, very much. Especially on that show. But it felt like going to a Star Trek convention when I was in the chat room. You know I loved watching Xena but going to a convention ONE time nearly kept me from ever watching again. It's one thing to love a show, it's another thing to LOVE a show. 

Luckily, there was the weekend without the morning show, and the news on the weekend is not nearly as good, so by the time the Monday show came around the nasty taste in my mouth was forgotten. Unfortunately, though, I was also sleeping better and haven't been wanting to try to stay up to watch the show and now the trip to Atlanta game is over. If I win that would be awesome. If I get my t-shirt it'll be a miracle! If I get to go to Atlanta INSTEAD of the t-shirt.... yeah, that would be better.

Itching like crazy..... must take medicine before I start taking my skin off. I can't cut my fingernails any shorter. When I take these pills I really sleep, when I eventually get to sleep, but I sleep really late in the day. ACK!!! BRB
