You're going to start seeing a lot more of me.
After cashing in a jar of change to buy groceries the other day, it dawned on me - maybe I go out too much. I mean, I think I go out just as much as anyone else, but my meager salary really doesn't support my lifestyle, so as a result I think I'm going to have to start focusing on doing other things besides going out all the time. I don't want to have to file for bankruptcy and ruin my damn-near-perfect credit score ;)
So I've decided to start blogging more. And maybe letting others read my blog? I don't know, just for shits and giggles, I guess. Blogging is a good exercise for a writerly person such as myself. Plus, if I go at it great guns and full speed ahead, who knows? Maybe my blog will become famous like Perez Hilton or something. Ah, I doubt it. I would want it to gain popularity of it's own momentum and not because I stalk and obsess over lame celebs.
BUT SPEAKING OF LAME CELEBS (and Perez Hilton) - I really feel I must comment on the whole Paris Hilton-goes-to-jail fiasco of recent weeks. Let me begin by offering a personal anecdote (and, as always, stop me if you've heard this one):
When I was but a wee lass o' th' age o' 17, I got arrested for reckless endangerment, disturbing the peace and resisting arrest. I was with two friends, we were all sober, but we just decided to make a really bad decision in a car full of illegal stuff, and the next thing we knew, lights, sirens, handcuffs (but not in a good way) - the whole nine yards. To make a long story short, our parents bailed us out, we all went to court, paid the necessary fines and were on our way. Case closed. On with our lives.
THEN FUCKING PARIS HILTON COMES ALONG, WITH HER CELEBUTANTE STATUS AND HER MONEY AND HER NO-JOB-HAVIN', AND GETS A DUI WHILE ON PROBATION FROM ANOTHER DUI, AND HER CELEBRITY-NESS FUCKING SKYROCKETS AND EVERYBODY'S ALL "WAH WAH PARIS WE LOVE YOU IT'S SO UNFAIR" AND JOURNALISTS ARE FIGHTING OVER WHO GETS THE FIRST INTERVIEW. AND MY QUESTION IS, "WHY?!"
What kind of country rewards people for breaking the law - then breaking it again - with so many opportunities for Paris to make even more money than she's already making just by being a Hilton? When I got arrested, I felt horrible for my actions, suffered the consequences, and nobody gave a shit. This bitch's story gets posted all over the news and magazines and it's like a fucking national phenomenon that Paris Hilton could possibly do something so outrageous to warrant jail time. Hi. How does the ad go - 'You drink. You drive. You lose.' Hmm, yeah. Guess Paris must have whizzed past that billboard in her drunken stupor.
Anyway, I just had to get that off my chest. That whole incident really made me lose faith in this country (more faith, I should say). Actually, in my own drunken stupor one night (I took a cab), I was even pondering moving to Toronto. Well, I've pondered that whilst sober many a time, but not because I was fed up with this country. This time, I'm fed up with this country.
Oh, and P.S.~this isn't a jealousy thing or anything like that. I'm so much better off than Paris Hilton. I learned my lesson when I was 17, not 26. I work for a living and I don't act like a retard just because I can (OK that last part isn't entirely true - hee hee!).
Plus, I'm prettier than she is. Brunettes just naturally are ;)
