I guess there's no such thing as perfect at everything. What a relief! Oh, and since it's being asked, *raises hand!* For being a single young lady.

[ The lady part is entirely debatable. ]

Why're you asking?

[doubleoohbaby]

a girl, you mean?

and no reason other than boredom

[whatsupcroc]

You're really bored? You poor man!

And not a girl. A teenager! Girl sounds so much younger when it comes from older guys!

[doubleoohbaby]

this place isn't exactly what i'd call fun

and teenager. apologies. such a grave mistake of mine

[whatsupcroc]

Not on the surface! You have to find your way of having fun here, like anywhere else you can end up. Stuck in war, stuck on the moon, stuck in hell -- there's always something to find to call fun for yourself.

Apology accepted, Mister Bond! ;P

[doubleoohbaby]

this network can be entertaining, i'll admit that much

[whatsupcroc]

Specially Imported entertainment!

[doubleoohbaby]

it's like big brother but a lot less shit

[whatsupcroc]

I thought Big Brother was from that 1984 novel?

[ When you come from 1998 and the whole reality TV thing for BB was taking off in 1999... ]

[He keeps forgetting everyone is from different times and different worlds. Makes pop culture stuff way too confusing sometimes.]

they made a reality series out of it

[whatsupcroc]

[ She almost had this one, James! Almost! ]

I'm not even sure how that'd work they put people into the middle of a real war that doesn't make sense or do they lie to a bunch of people saying there's a whole war going on in the world and their allies keep changing because that and a paperweight are about what I remember from 1984. Oh, and some people could handle books while others couldn't?

[doubleoohbaby]

it's actually got very little to do with the book. just a group of strangers kept in a house together for a painfully long time with lots of cameras recording their every move. big brother is watching you. that's the only similarity

[whatsupcroc]

People watch a show like that? For fun.

And you're serious about that this isn't just a joke played on the kid from before reality tv got really big.

[doubleoohbaby]

it was an interesting social experiment the first time they tried it, i'll admit. but by the 20th attempt- or however many times they've done it now- it got to be about money and 15minutes of fame, like so much of life is

[whatsupcroc]

Wow that really sounds boring. I like people watching as much as the next person, but I'd rather live through my own arguments and moneymaking attempts than watch a bunch of people I'll never meet do the same. They're not even doing anything cool! They're stuck in a house!

[doubleoohbaby]

they got inane tasks to do

but yes it turned out to be very boring. some people watched them sleep

[whatsupcroc]

Were they parents or nurses because that just seems weird otherwise.
