Thursday. Never could get the hang of Thursdays. This particular Thursday wasn't too bad. I had a pretty decent day to be perfectly honest. I got to spend the day with my friend Keli which was nice because we don't get to hang out that often, and she was generous enough to go out with me and buy me some groceries which was entirely too kind of her. So, I have food in my fridge!
Keli tried to introduce me to "The Office" today. The Office is very funny, there's just one problem... Me. See, here's the thing about me. I am burdened with an over abundance of empathy. This isn't usually a problem. However, when confronted with that particular niche of comedy concerned with embarrassing actions, it becomes a huge obstacle. It is the reason I can't watch movies like "Meet the Parents" or "American Pie" and such. These movies are centered around characters doing thoroughly embarrassing things, while often being completely oblivious too how embarrassed they should be. I don't suffer from that blindness and therefor feel that embarrassment for them. I cringe, I look away, I groan, I try to make myself not hear the horrible things they're saying as they dig themselves deeper into pits of pure embarrassment. It's uncomfortable and exhausting. The Office is exactly this kind of program. Characters doing and saying things that should have them feeling exceptionally embarrassed were it not for their own inability to feel such. Funny show, I wish I could watch it.
To make up for my inability to watch The Office, I introduced Keli to Cute with Chris. Maybe some of you have heard of it, but it's new to me an I've been loving it. I recommend it, go check it out. Or just look down.
Okay, going back to the Future tomorrow, so I best get some sleep. G'night everyone, all my dreams are dead.
