"The Moment of Truth" -- My Guilty Pleasure
I was so happy that one of my fave shows "The Moment of Truth" was back on last night. I can't get enough of seeing people spill all of their secrets on national TV, and then watching as the camera pans over to the family squirming in their seats. I wish I was witness to what happened after the show, but I guess seeing what goes on in front of the camera will have to do.
I would never bring any of my past boyfriends on national TV and tell all about our ups and downs no matter how much money was being offered. Millions of people do not need to hear about our sexual fantasies, unknown booty calls by him, the reason I would be tempted to cheat on him, etc... I have to live with myself after the show and face the wrath of my family and friends...it's just not worth it.
The best/worst part is when the host is like "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO RISK YOUR 100,000?????" and then they almost always screw up the next question, and lose it ALL. I love the girl yesterday who had her boss and boyfriend there and her boyfriend looked like he wanted to kick everyone's ass on the show.
Some people would probably go to 500,000 if their family wasn't there.
Is anyone else addicted to this show?
Would you bring your current partner or a past one on the show and spill the beans for money? Is it worth it to have all of your secrets shared on national TV for only 100,000?
Do you think these people are going on this show because they secretly want to break up with their partners and don't know how else to do it?

Even if I was Michael Phelps I Wouldn't Be Your Facebook Friend...
Ok, I guess today is National "My Co-worker Pisses Me Off and I Need to Vent About It" day.
Not only does she flirt with everyone, but she also wants to be everyone's friend. She even befriends the random delivery guy from the pizza place down the street, and already has his cell phone #. Today she told me she had like 10 days worth of work to do and asked her if I could help her. Here's how the conversation went:
Her: Can you help me out today? I am swimming in a sea of work.
Me: *Points to my bookshelf that has books that have somehow magically deliciously landed there* Sorry, but I have a lot of books on my bookshelf.
Her: *Nods* Yeah, you're right.
Me: Does that answer your question?
Her: I thought I had a lot of work, but you should be giving me YOUR work.
Me: Damn right...now please go bug someone less important than me.
Truth be told...I never have even looked at those books, and don't even know what they are about. This bookshelf was here before I worked here, and I liked the look of it, so I just left it there. All of my work is in drawers and on my desk, but was I going to let her know that? Hell no!
So, for the last 2 hours she's been shooting the breeze with another co-worker of mine. That's fine and dandy, but that co-worker is a bit "violent." She always smacks her knees and walls when she talks. It goes something like this:
Her: Yo...check this out...yo *smacks the wall repeatedly* Madonna busts some serious *knee slappity slap slap slap* moves on stage.
Me: *thinking in my head that I better get some insurance cuz the ceiling might start crumbling*
Her: *Knee slaps* Yo...Janet Jackson *wall punching* is da booooooooooooomb *wall slap* bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb!
I agree with her in both instances, but I don't like to start my work day with a bowl of loud noises.
Have you ever dated someone who seemed to be friends with "everyone" and everywhere you went together, he/she would see someone he/she knows? Do you seem to know "everyone?"
She has even added most of her exes on her Facebook. She just wants "everyone" in her life in some shape or form.
Would you or have you added any of your exes on Facebook/Myspace?

Flirting With the Romantically Challenged Tech Support Guy
I've had the office crush, the office romance, and I've laid the "get the hell outta my face" verbal smackdown on an office employee. I have never, though, flirted with the tech support guy.
My co-worker sitting next to me constantly flirts with the tech support guy who has never even had a girlfriend. He's like 30 yrs. older than her and he's not even as hot as one hair on Antonio Sabato Jr.'s head. She has also flirted with guys at work who are married, engaged, and eloping with an alien. She looks like a librarian and gives off the image that she's Miss Prim and Proper, but yet she flirts with guys like she's a lion and they are her prey.
She's engaged and is getting married in 6 weeks, yet you wouldn't know it 'cause she only seems to talk about him when she's going in for her Brazilian appointment. I've only listened to her make her Brazilian appointment once. Now as soon as she dials the number, I'm outta there. The only "Brazil" thing I want to hear at work is that I've won a free ticket to there. She also once made an appointment for a full body wax, and one time she was telling her sister she needed to buy a lot of condoms for her weekend get-a-way with her man.
Do you know some people at work or school who just love to share their personal and intimate business? Do you know someone who flirts with practically everyone they come in contact with, even dummies in stores?
Am I the only one who's been privy to a "Brazilian" conversation at work???

Dating 101 -- Hugh Hefner Style
I'll admit it, I can't get enough of "The Girls Next Door." I've probably seen each episode a million times and I will probably watch them a million more.
I know that Hef is insanely famous, filthy rich, and is pretty much the only guy over 80 who has 3 girlfriends under 30. I also know that Holly is his "main' girlfriend and Kendra and Bridget are just "side dishes," but yet all 3 girlfriends seem to be ok with that. On the shows it always seems like Holly is the only one sitting in bed next to him and she gets special attention from him.
I was discussing "Puffin" (Hef) with my friend, Karen, the other day and she said she knew this 75 yr. old guy who was married to a 50 yr. old lady, but had a 31 yr. old girlfriend on the side. This guy was not rich or famous, and sex didn't even factor into their relationship.
Karen was friends with both the gf and wife and said his girlfriend saw him as a father figure and wanted to care for him, while the wife knew she would marry him when she had first laid eyes on him when she was 24. I don't know if they had strong romantic feelings for him or even if they were seen with him outside of the house. I'm betting money on him being a figment of everyone's imagination.
Do you think Hef is "the man" or a sick freak? Do you think the girls really love him or the idea of being in the limelight?
Girls: If your boyfriend was filthy rich and famous, would you allow him to have 2 other girlfriends, if it meant more opportunities in life were afforded to you for being with him?

From Text Message Break-up to Rekindling Romance
Remember my friend who got dumped by text message? Well, guess who's back to sitting in a tree ... K-I-S-S-I-N-G?
Yup, they're back together.
He sent her a text message yesterday (Has this dude forgotten how to speak?) telling her he wants to be back together with her, and it only took her 30 seconds to text him back saying "I agree." WTF??I wish she had spoken with me before she had texted him back. I could've sent some common sense brainwaves to her. I know she was a mess after they broke up, but I think with all of the problems she's going through... not having a "boyfriend" is something she didn't want to deal with.
He only has 2 rules:
1) No marriage talk
2) No engagement talk.
He listed them in that order...
She told me she's ok with his rules and she doesn't plan on getting married anytime soon. So, just because she's not ready for marriage, she's just settling for anything? Does that make any sense to anyone?
I was a Psychology major and I still can't figure out why she is putting herself through this.
He says he can now see her 3 days a week. From a weekend "booty call relationship" to a 3 day "long weekend hookup."
Is there anything I can tell her to help her see the error of her ways?
