I know what I want

Last night we were watching TV the three of us. As the saying goes, two is company and three is a crowd. This is certainly the case when one TV and one remote is involved. As most of the times, Victoria and I agreed to compromise. She wanted to watch Nickelodeon and I preferred anything but Nickelodeon. We settled for MTV Room Raiders. In came this girl, with a cup E rack, that she could interestingly enough wiggle, like the Uri Geller of Baywatch. The guys that she was raiding the rooms of couldn’t believe their luck. Neither could Reinout. He suddenly felt an urge to drop his all important work and join in on the show. I kept one eye on the TV and one eye on my mac (and a third eye on Reinout). I must say, the whole sight depressed me, knowing that I once was not far away from looking like that (minus the tits I might add). Now I had gone all soft and wobbly.

Reinout saw his cue in the break. “You look like Homer Simpson now.” , he said and started to laugh. It completely tipped me over. I was out of there. “Have your freaking Babewatch, but don’t involve me.” I tugged at the cord, ripping it out of the socket and slammed the laptop shut. “Take it easy Homer.” Reinout caught me an pulled me down on his lap. Victoria joined in. The resistance was pointless, so I let myself be calmed down and we continued watching the show. If there was any consolidation the girl was completely deprived of a basic intellect and besides that sounded and acted like a bloke. At least I could count myself lucky there.

The next show was Made, a show I like infinitely more. This time it was about an overweight girl aspiring to be prom-queen, thus not the stereotypical beauty. Reinout thought this was so boring, but I stood my ground. This was a show that I feel is inspiring, where real people with a dream, against all odds go for it. The girl didn’t become prom-queen in the end, but she went through quite a transformation. Even though a lot of people didn’t believe she would, least of all her best friend, she went for her dream. We all need our dreams to be encouraged and supported. And if they’re not, we need the courage to believe that we can do it no matter what.

I know what I want. And there’s nothing that is going to stop me…
