So I'm a big dork, and not only do I watch MTV's A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, and Real World 20, I really want to be friends with all of these crazy people, and help them and care for them. Seriously, Tila, she should have picked Dani from Season 1. I mean, no wonder you picked Bobby, got your heart broken, and had to come back for A shot at Love 2, where all the contestants are nutso. Just go crawling back to Dani...
And Joey on Real World, who just got out of rehab and is trying to stay sober in the real world house... The stupid roommates went out drinking til like 4 in the morning the day he got home, and then were loud and obnoxious (and still drinking when they got home). I really want to take Joey home with me, and invite him to play board games, and have dinner, and watch American Gladiators, and be like, look! It's fun! It's good people! It's not a drug/alcohol induced frenzy! He really just needs to get out of the house, and find some friends at home who are not trashy.

I think my obsession with Reality TV is not so bad, because even those these are in theory 'real people,' it's highly unlikely that I will actually take Joey home with me or convince Tila to go crawling back to Dani (oh, and dear lord, throw Jersey out of the house, he's the worst!). I like bringing home defective things. I mean, look at my cat with the bit off ear, and maybe some of my friends :) I mean, not you of course, if you're reading my blog, you're totally cool and way not defective...

Anyway, what I was getting to here was this website: iamonmtv.com
It's like a forum for reality TV peeps, where you can be 'fans' and send people 'love' and write on their boards. And by all appearances, it looks like they write back. I suppose it's possible that it's all crap, and it's just someone who works for MTV responding as these characters, but I kinda doubt it. I'm guessing the majority of these people would embrace this kind of a forum. After all, reality TV fame is an extension of being cool and popular in school/life. It's like having lots of myspace friends, with random people saying 'hey man, ur cool!! keep it real'
And yes, being the dork that I am, I wrote on Joey's page telling him to please take care of himself (and I attempted to use capitalization, punctuation and grammar appropriately. Then since I'd already bothered to sign up for the site and make a profile (which I'm sure I'll get spammed for later) I figured I'd go look at Season 1 at Shot at Love, and messaged Dani to tell her that she was cool, and Tila was a damn fool for not picking her. I didn't write on Tila's wall, but I am tempted. Most of Tila's wall is pervvy boys(or girls) saying 'UR hottt!!' And she doesn't respond as much as a lot of the other people do, probably because she is a 'bigger' star. Or something.

Anyway. I love reality TV. It makes me want to take care of these crazy dysfunctional people. But fortunately as close as technology is taking me to them, I'll never bring them home (because Jim won't let me), encourage them to sleep with one of my friends, then have all hell break lose and realize that damn, they really are crazy, it's not just the contrived atmosphere or the crap people they are surrounded with...
