Friday night and blogging.
Today was a strange day that started with the news that Robyn was going to be on call for help. Finally! A chance to get screen shots of Robyn actually standing up. This is a rare event indeed and worth planning a day around to be home in time to get screen shots for the strip.
Had to leave for some mystery shopping. It’s amazing how scary my state is. It got up to 101 degrees (well according to the clocks in front of some of the banks we passed), and all sorts of people were out on the street in short shorts who should never ever EVER think of being in short shorts in public.
Rushed home and barely made it in time to see Robyn make her grand appearance. She was on and she was great but … well let’s face it, she’s so tiny that the desk blocked anything but … the same shot we get when she’s sitting at the chat desk.
Dang it, the other day I noticed she has legs. She probably has very nice legs but I was never aware that she actually had legs since they’re always blocked by the desk. But the very fact that she has legs blew my mind for some reason. If one day she were to jump up and run around the studio I’d probably faint (and the same goes for Laura & Anne), because it’s something new and it’d blow away the way I think of them. Legless and chained to a computer desk no more!
I’m weird though. As much as I’ve grown attached to these people I’m not banking the rest of my life on them. My world doesn’t revolve around Robyn, or Laura or Anne or Leo or Michaela or Patrick or … because I actually try to maintain some sort of life outside of watching a TV channel all the time. It’s not a great outside life, but hey, it actually is time away from the unreality of the chat room and TV, and it’s probably for the best that I try to maintain a balance. Plus I don’t want to be the guy who passes up the chance of real things going on because he’s obsessed with the people on TV. I know too many of those types to become one myself.
She’s A Beauty

Step right up and don’t be shy,
because you will not believe your eyes.
She’s right here behind the glass
and you’re gonna like her,
’cause she’s got class.
I know guys who go to strip clubs. I know guys who try to make friends with the strippers. I realize that this seems to have nothing to do with TechTV, but let me finish. These guys go home empty handed every night. They’re alone. Even if they do somehow strike up a conversation with the stripper and end up getting her number or private web page, they never ever close the deal. I know guys who were trying for years at this. Spending thousands of dollars a year getting private dances from these girls, trying like mad to land them … yet every year they get older and every year they get broker and every Christmas they’re alone and every new year’s they don’t have anyone to kiss.
You can look inside another world.
You get to talk to a pretty girl.
She’s everything you dream about…
but don’t fall in love…
She’s a beauty —
one in a million girls,
she’s a beauty.
Why would I lie?
Why would I lie?
I know guys who have fantasies about the perfect woman. They pursue these B-movie women or wrestling women or strippers and ignore perfectly lovely girls who might have some interest in them because they don’t have the 36dd boobs or their butts might not be “perfectly sculpted.” Mind you these are 300 lb guys who rarely shave or wear anything but the black t-shirt and jeans. Some go so far as to buy their idol’s panties or shoes on the internet. I guess that would be perfectly normal — except instead of doing what you’d expect them to do with the items — they frame them and hang them on their walls. Honest to god.
You can say anything you like,
but you can’t touch the merchandise.
She’ll give you every pennies worth,
but it will cost you a dollar first.
I have nothing against these guys, but let’s face it — they’re always going to be alone. You can’t take a crush on someone (say a techtv personality), and expect it to turn into something outside of the TV world. If — at the same time — you ignore the perfectly great women or men or what have you who you know, or may actually have a chance with in the real world — it’s your own darn fault for being alone. You can do it if you want to, but please, don’t waste the chance if someone good comes along in real life because you’re holding out for the people on TV. Those TV people may not be as real as you think …
You can step outside your little world.
You can talk to a pretty girl.
She’s everything you dream about…
but don’t fall in love…
She’s a beauty —
one in a million girls,
she’s a beauty.
