I quickly scrolled down, past it on Tivo. I flipped to other, more important pages in OK Magazine. I offered nothing and listened to nothing about it when brought up in casual conversation. I made fun of it without ever knowing a thing about it. And all my silly little efforts at non-conformity failed. Thanks to and MTV marathon, I can admit that I am a Jersey Shore lover. I guess it is their quick, honest nature and the complete oblivion they all seem to have to everything but their own Jersey bubble. Every episode I watch, I think of myself being dropped into that house with them and I cannot think of anything more in the world out of place. First off, I don't speak the language of the natives. I didn't know what "creeping" was or "battling" on the dance floor. Of course I understood in a second, but that would take some getting used to. And also, I am pale. And don't have big boobs. And don't have any kind of accent to make the slang sound good with once I finally find myself fluent in Shore-speak. All in all, I guess the reason I really like the show so much is because it reminds me of all the Sci-Fi/Fantasy books I read: Completely not of this world.

This dress is almost out of this world too! I died when I found it on sale at Forward. Kind of perfect because it works in so many situations and is by no means ordinary. Same with this ring! How insane is it? Damn! Okay and then the shoes play off the dress a little and like the pairing of the simple, smooth black and white against all that color and texture.

So don't look down on me for my weakness. Instead, look into your own Tivo box and see that you are just as guilty. You have Episode 1 of Season 2 all lined up to record tomorrow.

Until next time,
The Gatherer
