Day 58 - Things To Get Used To...

Yesterday Legal Eagle and I were watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta. It was the finale and they were showing previews of the reunion show to come next week throughout the episode. And then came the end of this episode.

Me: (sitting patiently as the episode ends). What?! No previews?

LE: They already showed them.

Me: Yeah, but I thought that they would show some more, like a different preview with different clips.

LE: Don’t be a preview hog.



^ Great Show!

LE and I decided right then and there that whomever I date seriously in the future will have to put up with a few things about me and TV.

1. My love for previews. It’s okay to talk through an episode (if I’m talking), but so very not okay to talk through previews. I’m pretty sure I’ve “shh’ed” LE a few times.

Although when I told LE that it’s okay to talk through episodes she said:

“Really? I doubt you’d let anyone talk through an episode of Rock of Love.”

2. My love for reunion shows. As if the show itself isn’t good enough, reunion shows are like icing on cake.

LE confirmed: “Your boyfriend will just have to understand why you have to come over to my place to watch reunion shows.”

3. Just because I’ve seen the episode twice, doesn’t mean I can’t or shouldn’t watch it a third time. I might have missed something or someone might have rudely talked through it.

4. Just because I say, “Oh god, I’m never going to watch that reality show. I have zero interest in it,” does not mean I can’t watch it.

Example: I Want to Work for Diddy. Said I had no interest in it, but I watched it to the bitter end. Although on the final episode I thought for a second that they were stretching it out to another week and I reacted with:

“Oh god no! I can’t watch this next week too!”

Some things you just have to watch and stick with them. Oh and did I mention that I have watched Real Chance of Love….a spin-off of I Love NY…which is a spin-off of Flavor of Love.

5. Spin-offs should be appreciated. It brings back the best cast members. Who doesn’t love that??

I know that this can be asking a lot, but not really. I mean, it’s all about TV, so who doesn’t love that?!

Now, if we were to go into the things about my cat that any future boyfriend would have to put up with, the list is a bit longer:

1. When my cat is lovey and purring, he love bites.

2. He owns everywhere and I have no control over him.

3. He likes to get under the blankets.

4. He likes to wake you with his wet nose.

5. He likes to sleep on my side.

6. He’s an awesome jumper (bad for some reasons obviously).

7. He throws up every now and then.

8. He’s possessive and growls if you are a “threat.”

9. Did I mention I have really zero control over him…he’s actually in charge of me.

10. Saturday mornings are Barbar wildcat mornings…he runs as fast as possible from room to room…usually running across your face.

11. He likes to hang out in cabinets.

12. He also likes to drop stuff in drinks and toasters.

13. He eats plastic bags and cardboard and probably some other stuff that I don’t know about.

14. You have to play fetch with him whenever he wants to (even if that means fetch at 3 a.m.).

15. He steals : toys, feathers, berets, sweaters, Q-tips, etc.

Hmmm…maybe I should just wait a very long time until I introduce anyone to my cat.
