I'm not feeling well today. And I'm hungryish but a) I can't get up from the couch to find anything and b) if I eat a big something I'll ruin dinner. If there is dinner. It's usually a 50-50 shot during the week in this house.
I'm almost finshed with the first season of Supernatural, and I love it. I love all of the Winchester boys together, all three of them. I kind of know what happens because I've been very casual about avoiding spoilers. I figured I'd see the show eventually, but I didn't know when. So yes, I love the three Winchesters, and how even though they haven't had too much screen time together, the relationship between the three of them is crystal clear -- I mean, details and all are somewhat more fuzzy. They are good at keeping things underwraps until they want to reveal something, but those last ten or fifteen minutes of "Shadow" was... wow. When John is around, Dean and Sam stand up a little straighter, their automatic response is a snappy, "Yes sir," and like I said, I'm sure there's a lot more development that I haven't seen yet, but the fact that they did so much with so little impresses me. Also, I like looking at Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, but I am a red-blooded heterosexual female.
Currently I'm breaking from watching Supernatural to watch Dr. Phil, and they are talking about ~*teen trends. Currently it's text messaging. This one girl sent 14,000ish text messages in a month and the parents are at a loss. HERE'S A CLUE, SHE'S THIRTEEN AND YOU'RE HER PARENTS. TAKE THE CELL PHONE AWAY. God, even I can tell you that. Honestly, I think if parents took a little responsibility for the things their kids had access to, half of the problems we have would solve themselves. Like take these questions from the mom of a teenaged boy who texted 120,000 times in three months.
"Is texting the teenage form of alcoholism?"
No. Alcoholism is the teenage form of alcoholism.
"Is this an obsessive-compulsive behavior that I should worry about?"
Seriously?
And now here's this one twelve-year-old girl who's sending nearly naked photos of herself and sending them to her boyfriend and inappropriate text messages, etc. They're worried! Of course they are.
TAKE. THE. CELL. PHONE. AWAY. Does she keep finding the phone and take it back? DESTROY IT. TERMINATE YOUR CONTRACT WITH THE COMPANY. WHATEVER IT TAKES.
Maybe this is just me speaking, but if that were me in my teenaged years -- hell, if that were me NOW -- my phone would be gone before I could even start explaining myself, and I would probably also lose other privileges. I mean, really.

...wait, crap, I'm as neurotic and asocial as they come. Also, I swear and press the snooze button a lot, and get self-righteous about things I don't understand. And I have this pimple on my chin. NEVER MIND ALL THAT.
