Why do I torture myself?

14

I tend to be a completionist. I’ll finish movies and books I’m not into just because I can’t leave them alone.

This is why I’m currently rolling my eyes at the tv while I watch Fifty Shades Darker. I read the books. They are terrible. The movies are slightly better, but still pretty terrible. At least in the movies you don’t have to hear the monologue of her “inner goddess” who would dance and skip around in her vacant brain space.

The best part of all of it was years ago when my partner came over and saw one of the books sitting on my side table. He picked it up and gave me a disapproving look. I laughed and told him to flip to any page, they are all terrible. He started reading, making inflections at the stupidity along with his eyebrows raising. When he was done, I was almost in tears. He walked straight into the kitchen and went to throw it in the trash until I told him it was a library book that needed to be returned. It made my day.

I love this blog that tears the book apart. It is so awesome because she put the thoughts I had while reading into the most funniest synopsis. So many laughs to be had.
