I have a Blog :O

This must be how the big bad Millionaire, with a seed of goodness in his heart, feels when he finds out that he actually has a kid, and that his childhood sweetheart lied to him and told him that she adopted one, after suddenly disappearing for 9 months to Mexico. I have a kid/blog!! Oh my god, and here I was living my life, wondering at the blognosity of other people's lives, wondering why I was so backward and didn't have one. Turns out I do. And I have missed 2 of its crucial formative years! Oh no. Now I'll have to buy it expensive things to make up for being an absentee-blogger, and watch as it turns into a bad-boy-blog, who blows money on unimportant things, flaunts the latest gadet, and leads the good life (on the Upper East Side? ).
Yes, its true. I've been ODing on TV serials. They're dangerous, addictive, EVIL. The only safe ones are the ones like The Simpsons because the episodes aren't related. Or funny ones like Two and a Half Men, in which the basic plotline remains constant for a season at a time. Even if you do miss an episode you catch on pretty quick (Oh! Alan got married again. Cool man, whatever.) And then there's Gossip Girl. As a pseudo-intellectual, I would outwardly deny watching this show, as all pseudo-intellectuals agree that shows about the super rich super spoilt are only for girls who "gossip". But to be honest, who doesn't like it. Sure, its mindless, unrealistic, and people never wear purple lizard skin gloves but its kind of fun and everybody knows a Dan or a Blair (though in real life people are NOT named after salads. Or hotels.) And the fact that none of the characters are even remotely likeable just adds to the show. Its just basic human instinct, our ancestors clapped and screamed Veni Vidi Vici (or whatever! I don't know Latin) when the gladiators fought the lions and we smirk when one rich girl takes down the next. Its a depraved kind of fun, but what the hell. Judge me :) Its what blogging's all about (or atleast, that's what the salesman said).
Coming back to my blog, the Chuck Bass of the blogosphere, the good blog gone bad living in a rich decadent world of sin. Suddenly, the return of its blogger, after 2 long seasons, and return of order to its dark world. Can it be saved from itself?? *dramatic music, pause on face of blog in shock as it discovers new post from blogger*. And Cut. Watch the next episode to find out what happens, folks :)
