So I'm watching Episode 12 on Season 1 of the Ninth Doctor.
About a reality game show.
A deadly reality game show.
Of late there have been various books published and movies made about reality game shows going too far past the standard social norms (the most popular example being The Hunger Games), but even then we can't stop watching. Big Brother, Survivor, The Bachelor all interest us in a way soap operas never will be able to. Because we love the idea of this being real, and not staged like it most likely is. We get attached to characters, root for some, rant about others. Reality TV is a sport to us, a recreation activity and subject most everyone can relate to on some level. We love it, we hate it, and it's in our blood, rushing through our veins as we speak.
Why this relates to Doctor Who goes back to unacceptable reality TV shows - like the Hunger Games. However, as much as we'd like to say we would be outraged if a reality show was made about people killing each other, we'd watch it on Saturday nights, eagerly waiting the next installment. Though we would be mildly disgusted (I'm thinking the Hunger Games would be up there with Toddlers & Tiaras and Sister Wives), we'd be fascinated and would love it. It would be our guilty pleasure.
I think we're all "sick and twisted" to a certain extent.

love me, love me not.
love me, love me not.
love me, love me not.
(i'm scared to post my poems about you, since i know you use this site and what if you don't find them?)
i only write poetry on my phone
for some reason i can't be poetic on a computer anymore.
i wonder why.
how to make friends
I found a note in my phone titled "how to make friends" and I thought what I had written there was cute. I never finished it, but I thought I'd share what I had.
"I got caught passing you by, similar to how kids get caught passing notes. At first I didn't think anybody would notice, but then..."
I wonder what happens after!
Anyway, I thought I'd mention I love when I receive comments and stuff on my works, and I'm sorry for rarely replying to them. I read and reread what everybody says, and then I get scared my response won't be good enough. But thank you so much for commenting anyway! I really appreciate it.
Have wonderful weeks!
xoxo
l-m-a-o
sometimes i daydream about making a little book about poetry and selling it at little shops around town. there's nothing stopping me from doing this, i suppose. i guess i'm afraid of success.
p.s. my cat ran away. this is the third gray fluffy one to leave me. i wonder if she'll come back.
