The Simple Life

 I really wish my life was a movie. All the dramatic monologues, schemes and fights that I plan in my head are just wasted. Every time anyone angers me, I want to say something like "You just don't understand," give a disappointed look and walk out the door. I just want dramatic pauses to not just seem like awkward silences or me forgetting what I was going to say. Whenever a temp comes into my lawfirm, I want her to become crazily obsessed with me and kidnap my baby. When I move into a new house with my girlfriend, I want to be haunted and ultimately killed by a demon that she failed to mention earlier in our relationship.
I have recently come to the realization that my life may be more fitting for a situational comedy, which I'm told is sometimes called a "sitcom." I have a strange group of friends and my life is arranged into an oddly episodic structure and it doesn't matter what happens between the episodes. Even so, sadly, my life hardly contains enough material for a successful sitcom. Maybe I could get away with a mini-series. Or a reality show. I'm thinking something along the lines of me living on a farm and doing manual labor.
