guilty

It's funny, I often recall a very vivid memory of one particular Sociology class, my junior year in high school. We were talking about pop culture - and the recent development and prevalence of these new found "reality tv shows". We were asked to yell out names of such shows and Mr. Johnson wrote them all on the board. And I remember, honest to God, only having heard of two: The Real World, and Survivor. There were maybe 10-20 written on the board by the end of the discussion, including the Bachelor, Big Brother, and some others...and I felt like such a loser for having never heard of them.

I miss that girl.

I mean, what the F is it about the Kardashians, (other than my main man Bruce, obviously) that intrigues me so? Is it the lightning speed at which Kourtney talks? Is it her super suave boyfriend Scott's haircut? Is it Kim and Reggie's fake relationship and their intimate ichats??
Khloe and Lamar Odom's one month courtship and subsequent TV marriage is fascinating, I must say...but were the 100 mile away paparazzi snapshots of the expected 8 bajillion floral arrangements and lavender-clad bridesmaids really worth the $4.00 I spent on a stupid OK! magazine just to sneak a peak of??? The answer is No. And I am so a part of what is wrong with this world.

Hmmm....I'm going to work on this.
