Reality TV

I'm addicted. I can't help it. I'll watch almost any reality TV Show.

Survivor, AI, Celebrity Apprentice, Amazing Race, Real World/Road Rules Challenge, The Bachelor/ette, The Hills.

I do not apologize.


I watched the Amazing Race for the first time this year. I cried when Margie and Luke came in 3rd. He is deaf but they continually came in first until the end. I think everyone was pulling for them.












Celebrity Apprentice. I loved this season. It had Jesse James and Tom Green. I am a huge Tom Green fan. His humor is "different" and he makes me laugh out loud. Jesse James is hot. He is a man of few words but what when he does speak, he is well spoken and intelligent. And he's hot.
The finally of C.A. was on Sunday. It was Joan vs. Annie the Poka Playa! I'm so glad Joan won because Annie was a snake.
The girls at work and I want Kris or Danny to win AI. Adam is good. But he doesn't need the title. I think I'm going to go with Kris.
Then there's the Real World/Road Rules challenge. I think I may be the only person over 30 who watches this. It is embarassing to admit. Maybe I need help.
The Hills. Mike called last week and asked what I was doing. I hesitated because I didn't want to admit that I was watching the Hills. But, I told him and it took him a minute or two to quit laughing. I blush thinking about it.
Should I just delete this post? I'm scaring myself!

I love Ole Miss

University of Mississippi. Ole Miss.

I tear up any time I drive on campus. Heck, I tear up anytime I hear "Are You READY" or when someone even mentions the great town of Oxford, Mississippi. To me, it is one of the most beautiful places on earth. It is where I went to college and it truly was the best time of my life.




Vaught Hemingway Stadium.






The Grove - where summer school students lounge around or play frisbee.


Anyway, apparently there are Flash Raves going happening on college campuses during finals week. The student body goes to their school library and have a rave. They dance like mad (no alcohol allowed in the library - and the kids aren't destructive) for 10 minutes to get the tension out. Then they go back to their studying (or partying). I think it's a fun idea and I love the videos from Ole Miss - especially the Hotty Toddy! I love the Penguin leading everyone in a great Hotty Toddy! The UPD (university police) estimated there were about 2,000 students in attendance and while it was rowdy, no one got hurt nor did anything in the library get damaged.
