Real World Vegas Commentary...And More

so i've been watching the real world vegas on mtv. is anybody else watching? is this not the most scandalous real world ever? is it me, or is it as the real world seasons get more and more successive, the IQ decreases while the drama factor itself increases exponentially? there are no overweight people, they all have great bodies and are all great-looking, which in and of itself aren't horrible things, but the only thing remotely intriguing about these people is that they all have great drama-causing potential. remember the seasons of the first new york? the first san francisco? like pedro...he is a legacy. the real world peeps now are all drama queens.

or, am i just old?

so brynn threw a freaking fork at steve. w00t. so brynn finally admits that she's an ass to steve because she likes him. and she had trouble expressing her emotions to him and the whole time she's been jealous of trishelle so therefore...she threw a fork at him. how juvenile.

dieselgrrrrl: i'm watching real world
Scoobie329: me too
Scoobie329: what a pimp
Scoobie329: i want 2 girls fighting over me
dieselgrrrrl: lol
Scoobie329: steve is a pimp
Scoobie329: is he even good loooking?
Scoobie329: i can't tell
dieselgrrrrl: who's the other girl
dieselgrrrrl: i don't know steve i don't watch it
Scoobie329: trichelle and brynn...
Scoobie329: steve is the one arguing right now
dieselgrrrrl: oh yah
dieselgrrrrl: i thought you were still talking about smallville
Scoobie329: LOL!

Scoobie329: lana and chloe!
dieselgrrrrl: oh i see
Scoobie329: brynn's a baby!
dieselgrrrrl: yah
dieselgrrrrl: she's emotionally a wreck
dieselgrrrrl: she can't handle her feelings
Scoobie329: she's an "attention monger"
dieselgrrrrl: lol
Scoobie329: or whatever you call it
dieselgrrrrl: are you making fun of me!
Scoobie329: no no
Scoobie329: it's true
dieselgrrrrl: haha okay
dieselgrrrrl: you know her whole bi- and "i make out with girls" thing?
dieselgrrrrl: it's because she wants attention from guys
Scoobie329: yes
Scoobie329: and she's on TV also
Scoobie329: so it's double the fun
Scoobie329: for her
dieselgrrrrl: because guys like the girl on girl thing
dieselgrrrrl: honestly i think a lot of girls are like that
dieselgrrrrl: when they dance w/say, other girls at a club
dieselgrrrrl: all grinding and stuff
dieselgrrrrl: they're attention whores
Scoobie329: wow. i wanan grind
Scoobie329: haha
dieselgrrrrl: lol you're disqualified
Scoobie329: i see your point
dieselgrrrrl: bc you're a guy
Scoobie329: yah
Scoobie329: so true
dieselgrrrrl: and grinding with a guy means other guys don't wanna watch
Scoobie329: true true
Scoobie329: so i should find a girl who doesn't do that
dieselgrrrrl: so why have the attn of 1 guy when you can have all guys in the club
dieselgrrrrl: watching you
Scoobie329: b/c it shows she needs attention
dieselgrrrrl: yah
Scoobie329: yes
Scoobie329: i see your point now
Scoobie329: hmmm
dieselgrrrrl: haha yah find a girl who wants only yours!
dieselgrrrrl: bc if she likes the attn of as many guys as possible it just introduces problems later on in the relationship
Scoobie329: yes. agreed.
dieselgrrrrl: insecurity is the worst thing to have in a relationship, they start picking fights and shite
Scoobie329: and she's prolly "low maintenance" also
dieselgrrrrl: yah totally
dieselgrrrrl: she doesn't need excessive proof that you care for her
dieselgrrrrl: like monetary too--gifts and roses all the time and shite

so in the end, steve gets to decide whether or not brynn has to leave the house since he's the one who got assaulted. during his whole confessional during this ordeal, he mentions that brynn reminds him of what he was going through (e.g. emotional trauma and jealousy) when he was 18-19. i mean, as if steve was even really that much more emotionally and intellectually superior to brynn. he's the one who hooked up with a roommate (trishelle) in front of his other roommate, who was obviously into her from the beginning. while drunk. i HATE people using "i'm drunk" as justification for stupid behavior. such a cop-out and default for the inability to take responsibility for stupid actions.

i can only get started on trishelle, the "sweet girl" from the south who suddenly started acting all "loose" once she got on the real world. she's led that poor, shy guy on(i forgot his name) like she liked him...and then she hooks up with steve. and then she also hooks up with eric from road rules when they had their road rules/real world challenge? yeah, you know it--it's because her dad never gave her his approval. in my opinion, it totally reflects a trend with some girls these days, in my opinion... girls who seek approval and even just mere attention from guys(even the worst kind--only bodily attraction) because they were never emotionally nurtured at a young age. combined with our secondary place in society, women sometimes end up craving it their whole lives, thinking that a male's attention gives them worth.


but i'm not one to judge. hee hee. but, this brings me to like, an important point with how i've been cold-calling with people today. mind you, today was my first day cold-calling. hey, i'm a broker and i admit it. it's part of my business and my vestige in my future income. anyway, this whole time i've been doing my pitch to the men in the household. i would get both names of the husband and wife under the same telephone number in the high wealth section of the directory and lo and behold, because it was inferred that i do this during this past week and a half of training, i would ask for the male counterpart of the household. perhaps it was all in my imagination, and i'm not really as immune to the subtle sexual inequalities of life as it seems. i'm pitching bonds, a financial investment. who am i, as a woman, to even participate in surpassing the wife, the female counterpart in the household, to pitch a financial investment to the "man of the household"? after talking to a veteran broker, i realized...this is how society is. i learned my pitch from men. part of the pitch was to talk to the "man of the household". other men can do this, because wives will accept being passed over when being prospected or being pitched on anything.

then, i realized, not i. i won't follow suit. that won't be me, and my strategy will be different. far be it from me to fail to realize, i, as another woman, can't get away with it like they can. **why should** women let another woman by-pass them, going straight to the husband, anyway? (not to mention, that if they are elderly/retired, what can the wife do except assume i am selling something?) anyhoo. i will use it to my advantage as much as possible. i will "pitch the bitch" (thank you, Boiler Room) and i will make women my niche market. i will make them comfortable because i am a fellow female...and all at the same time, i am uniform with my feminist beliefs.

heh. now, on to more cold-calling in absolute volumes. what is quite interesting is that it is not as painful as i expected it to be. don't get me wrong--it's brutal. but, i am absolutely sure i am here to stay and make the most of it. it's all part of the job, i guess (mind you, i am saying all of this quite early in the game).
