it's my turn ;)
25 years is quite a milestone so here's an ode, a reflection/look back at how i spent all those years with some help from pop culture :)i always try to keep it steady but i'm telling you i have my confessions of a drama queen moments too but it's close to being extinct now ;) still i can't help but cringe and be embarrassed every single time i see myself in the women of grey's anatomy. i dislike, to the point of hating, mer because she's crazy for love and she doesn't seem to have a backbone at all. in short she's too broken. it was a love hate relationship when it comes to izzy. i love it that she rocked but always with a tinge of real emotion and then she went psycho so i so wanted to strangle her and then i cheered her again and then...that's the way it is. i felt distant with cristina but as each layer is peeled i feel oddly close to her. now i know why a. i get so affected b. i stay up all night keeping vigil while i dl and c. why i wake up early to watch the freshly donwloaded episode only to watch it again later in the evening. it's because i see me in each of them, that no matter how steady i'd like to think i am, i'm not. i'm also broken. i'm also a psycho. i'm also distant. so i'll keep on watching and then one day it'll just come, the day i can say i used to be them and i sense that's coming soon :)
from the moment i met dilbert, i knew that office life would be so much easier. real people have come to my rescue so many times to keep me sane but no one's ever made me feel so understood than my dear old dilbert.
finally, i now have a rough sketch of the "man of my dreams" presenting...macgyver is handsome but dorky, charming but self-effacing, and though he has every opportunity for indiscretion, he's always a gentleman around women. his gigs are of the usual action-hero variety -- find stolen missiles, escape assassins, rescue civilians, humiliate dictators. but his near chastity, along with his staunch opposition to guns and capacity to solve every problem through the judicious application of chemistry and physics, sets him apart from the others. macgyver is the thinking man's hero. and he's mine. haha.
it's my turn to be 26 and i can't wait to see what this year has in store for me especially knowing that there's more to come from my daily dose of pop culture ;)
