this room's too small, it's only getting smaller.

Jumping from one age group to the other...I found my new TV show marathon for the summer. Weeds! No longer talking about a preteen's double life as a pop star and teenager, now we're talking about a middle-aged woman's double life as a drug dealer and suburban mom (apparently my actual town is Agrestic's "neighbor"). Both deal with double lives...kind of similar, right? I'm honestly in love with this show, though, from Mary Louise Parker's stunning acting ability to Justin Chatwin's one-time appearance in the pilot (dammit) to the overuse of profanity...kind of a breath of fresh/adult air after a week of hearing Miley Stewart say "profanities" like "sweet niblets." Anyway, I just started season 2 and it's getting more and more fascinating. Best part? Season 4 is airing currently...not that I have Showtime, so I can't watch it. Typical. Actually I don't really care, since I don't watch that much TV on the actual television anyway, except Gossip Girl and the occasional Office episode.

I tried to start an entry twice in the past two days and right now I'm just pushing through since I already got one (useless) paragraph down, so forgive me if the rest of this turns to shit. I started asking several people if they'd rather listen to an overly cocky person or an overly modest one. Personally I'd rather take the overly modest one any day, even if he or she is just secretly fishing for compliments and knows that s/he is truly better than s/he says. I can't fucking stand pompous, full of bullshit people who think they've never done wrong in this entire world, and what they say always goes, because they're the fucking shit. I probably prefer listening to an overly modest person just because I can relate way more, since the one reason I do that is to boost my self-esteem, hearing other people compliment me and feeling better about myself. Listening to myself boost my own self-esteem, not exactly the same. But I guess being cocky is just an excessive amount of self-confidence, which is an amazing virtue I'd love to have. Plus, self-confidence gives that preconception that you actually are the shit to people you meet, instead of them having to determining it for themselves (or worse yet, thinking you are actual crap). I guess it's just personal opinion.

And on that note, I'll be going now to a) watch the rest of Weeds or b) take a nice long nap until the morning.
