Somebody save me!!
I'm staying with my sister in Toronto, and she's sitting right in front of me, watching TV.
Not just any show, mind you.
OUTBACK JACK.
Somebody, save me.
If you're in the Toronto area, I'm on Euclid just off Queen West. feel free to cut the power, throw something in the window, ANYTHING.

HELP

16. Because, apparently
when they say "Did you see the latest episode of such-and-such show" and I said "No, I don't watch TV" I'm being snotty and trying to prove I'm better than them... somehow...

17. Oh THAT
Yeah, I'm going through that right now, because I don't have cable. So whenever someone says "DId you see...whatever" I answer "No I don't have cable" and then I get this look.

18. People actually say to me
sarcastically, "Oh, right, miss more-intellectual-than-thou" and shit like that.

I'm like, ok buddy, sorry I prefer reading to television, sorry I can't make you feel better about your own idiocy and obvious need for reassurance that you're just as smart as everyone else.

I read.

You watch TV.

So what.

10. So wait...
...they're competing for a guy they couldn't possibly have anything in common with? For the life of me, other than the schadenfreude value, I just don't freakin' get these shows.
