So apparently, psychologist has concluded a study where people are now delusional about their life being nothing more than a reality TV show. Is it me, or does this has a bit of narcissism mixed in as well? Of course, if my life is a reality show, it's probably canceled by now, I mean what fun could people have watching a semi-hermit person spend several hours on the computer? Sometimes in the nude?

Doesn't sound any less entertaining than most reality shows.

Did I mention that I don't look that good nude? Imagine a semi-pale body with surgical scars all over it.

Some people would pay extra for that. Shock value sells.

Have you ever watched Survivor? I watched one episode in 2001 and I fail to see how that'd be less entertaining.

I seem to remember an ugly pale nude body in survivor way back then.

I'm sure my life ain't a reality TV show. I would have been voted off by now.

I do sometimes feel as if my life is a season of The Amazing Race in which no one told me where I was supposed to be going . . .
