I have a confession, no don't click off--it's not that bad; I tend to take on the characters that I'm reading or watching. Right now I'm enthralled with the show "Mad Men!" (intake of breath & tisking)
"How could you, it's everything you stand against?" I know, I know, but this show gets to me for that exact same reason. The intensity of the characters as they search for happiness within their lives, regardless of who gets in the way. The sadness and disparity of their souls speaks to me. Plus, I have some of the furniture that is on the show! No joke, some of my things are so old--they could actually use my house for one of the scenes.
Back to the character impersonation flaw, I'm eating out last night with my husband. Little does he know, that before he came home--I had watched two episodes--back to back. I was totally in the character of Peggy--I'm wearing my power jeans & shirt, with cute little heels to match and my power lipstick. His first question was, "Why are you sitting like that--chin up in air--power face on?"
"I have no idea what you are referring to," replied Peggy (alias me). Little did he know that as we were driving to a French Restaurant (Chik-fil-a) I was coming up with snappy ads for the next product in my head. As we are eating I'm watching other patrons--coolly, with reserve because Peggy shows no emotion. "Your doing it again." said my husband (who could be on the show, but only as a walk-on). "I have no idea what you are talking about." I said reservedly. This lasted maybe a few more minutes--then Peggy evaporated and I reappeared charming as ever.
One last confession and then I'll stop: I'm supposed to be working on my project right now for class. But I've decided I'll let "Peggy" do it tomorrow!
