i object!

oh people. the bachelor takes my breath away. and if his blond, rugged, bronzed, intelligent, doctor body isn't enough for you, this season is taking place in the city of lights, none other than gay paris. i hope you either watched it or tivo'd it because good eff, i can't even begin to describe the captivation that IS the psycho-bitch 'reproductive-phase' lady. for her scarce fleeting moments with the hot dr. trav, she managed to get out 5 deathly cold, frightening words; 'i'm in my repoductive phase.' then, she basically assulted him in the chateau's grand foyer after he failed to offer her a rose. it was FANTASTIC television and the best i've seen in weeks. cheers to you, the good people at abc.

something else that's been bugging me: at dinner, there was a maaaan and this is what he proclaimed; 'i don't know if you knew this or not, but the pacific ocean is actually very, very cold.' at the time, i wish we could've seen my face. it was probably blank baffle while i wondered where he could possibly be deriving all of his chauvinistic condescention from with this very bold, public lack of knowledge of the temperature of the pacific. i think everyone at the table knew that the pacific is cold and knew for the better part of our lives, yet we said nothing to cut his truth. it was our job to make him feel comfortable no matter how uncomfortable he made us feel. it's now that i'm reflecting on the transaction and feeling a little guilty about what i felt, at the time. yes, he talks down to me. yes, i have a lot more education than he. yes, i miss my uncle and the 80s. AND, now i think he acts the way he does toward al and dan because he is in fact, uncomfortable, and this feeling comes out in the form of a confident, know-it-all defense. so, this is why i now feel guilty. in the simplest of terms, i was taking him for an arrogant dumbass with no validity and i became frustrated when i should've just taken him for what he was; a scared puppy who had lost his way, but luckily stumbled upon a kind family who felt somewhat compelled to open their home to him. and he may or may not be an arrogant dumbass, but that's not the point. the point is that i shouldn't have let him start the fire. the core of the matter was nothing. literally, nothing.
