Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
So how is it that second-hand embarrassment is the single most powerful and weakening emotion one can feel from media?
Tragedy? Delicious.
A hard-earned happy ending? Wonderful.
A convoluted narrative? Keeps you glued.
Simple slice of life? It’s entertaining.
Second-hand embarrassment? Hang on, g, I gotta pause this for fifteen minutes, no, I cannot continue watching this right now, I am just not strong enough.
Throwback to the time I stumbled in a crowded parking lot and was so convinced I was going to fall that I shouted out the first thing I could (meaning to either say 'geez' or 'crap') and ended up screaming "HOLY CHEESE I CRAPPED!!"
I didn't know there was an AC repair guy upstairs talking to my parents but he came down just in time to see me (lounging on the couch in sweat pants and eating a large slice of chocolate cake) yell at my dog (who was squeaking his toy obsessively like the little sociopath he is) "EXCUSE ME SIR BUT WILL YOU RESPECTFULLY SHUT UP??!!" All while my phone was playing 'You Spin Me Round' by Dead or Alive on full blast.
This is why I can't be around people.
You really cannot be on tumblr in public. I was just sittin, scrollin in my physiology class and BAM anime ass
