Okay, so today I have an appointment that takes me past this fairly new housing development in called Orenco Station. It's basically a combination of townhomes that are styled to look like brownstones and moderate-sized houses.
The rational, thinking part of my brain knows that these properties are contrived and completely phony, owing nothing to authenticity and everything to DINK wannabes who wish to pretend to be living in someplace with some REAL character, they're drastically overpriced, poorly constructed, will be falling apart in 10 years, are situated on postage-stamp sized lots without even enough room for a hypothetical child to get together a game of kickball, and are overseen by a Gestapo--errr, homeowners association that will slap a giant fine on your *** if your lawn gets to be just two microns too high. In short, they're representative of everything I hate about modern housing developments.
And yet...
AND YET...
Every time I glimpse them, some squeaky, girly voice in my brain says, "But...but...they're so CUTE!!!"
So, time to fess up. What do you find yourself grudgingly admiring? What object do you profess to loathe, yet secretly covet in the deep, dark, shameful recesses of your soul? What gives your Id an ****** while your Superego retches in disgust?

Imagining you nekkid usually does the trick.
Pfft, my job has me on construction sites with those types of homes getting built all the time. You want to talk about the shody work of overpriced McMasions pushed out to the set back in every direction? Don't get me started.

Those purses that go with absolutely nothing you have in your closet. You know the ones, they're either furry or covered in feathers or are in such obscene colors, but they're the EXACT STYLE YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR and those styles don't come in the good basic colors like black, white, camel, etc. I'll pick one up at the store and just critique it all to hell, but then in my mind it's "Buy it! It would hold everything just so!"
I also profess to hate ferrets, but secretly want one.

They stink. They get into everything (I really mean this) even when you ferret proof. They only decide to be awake and active when you're trying to sleep. When they want something, they'll stop at nothing to get it. Oh, and they stink.
But they're fucking awesome, and cute as hell to boot.
Certain kinds of terriers. I want to hate them on prinicple, but Westies and Scotties are just... so.... CUTE.
Oh, and the song "Radar Love".

It's so annoying and yet so addictive and awesome.
I'm listening to the intro for Gundam Wing right now...

We'd give you guys a manual, but what's the point? You guys never ask for directions anyways.Reality TV, I hate it so much, but it is so much fun to criticise.
After I finish watching I want to scrub my eyeballs clean.

Double whammy.
I still play WOW. I'm old enough to be making babies and thinking about my career, and yet I still care about some virtual purple pixels. Kinda sad.
But worst of all, I smoke cigarettes. I hate the people behind them, I hate the idea, I hate the goddamn things that give you lung cancer without even making you high... And yet i still smoke.
