I'm 24 years old and I'm still obsessed with reality television. Last night I found myself watching repeats of Keeping Up With the Kardashians and Kourtney&Khloe. Even though I've already watched the repeats before I can't seem to pull myself away. I think Kourtney is gorgeous and when I'm watching the show I'm admiring her outfits, her hair, her makeup and her post-baby body. I am jealous of her life. I want to be a Kardashian - not a HALL. Khloe's funny and I like her a lot, but I think I relate to Kourtney the most on the show. She's in a relationship with Scott Disick that is both good and bad. I've been in a relationship like that before. She's also keeps to herself like me. Khloe is very outspoken and not afraid to express her opinion - most of my friends are like this. When Khloe yells at Kourtney about Scott I know exactly how Kourtney feels. Not that people yell at me about my boyfriend. I know how it is to have someone loudly express their opinion to me and my reaction is to shut it out or walk away.
My friend asked me yesterday on g-chat to pick who I would want to Fuck, Kill, or Marry out of the Kardashians. I responded with: Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney. It got me to thinking why do we care so much about this family? Bruce is actually the only STAR in the family (he was an Olympic athlete). Kim is known for her sex tape and nobody else in the family has done anything spectacular (except marrying celebs) or being the children of the father who was one of the attorney's who represented O. J. Simpson.
Eitherway, I'm still obsessed with Kourtney. She makes being a mother look easy (compared to the teenagers over on TEEN MOM) and she's motivation to stay in shape after having a baby! I'm nowhere near ready to start a family but I'm always telling my boyfriend, "Ew, I'm not letting myself go. I want to look good for you forever!" We're coming up on our 3 year anniversary in October and I'm still concerned about staying in shape and looking good for him. Yes, he loves me for me. He doesn't care if I'm in a t-shirt and no makeup, but I do. Him and I were both very active throughout HS and College. Now that we're working 40+ hours a week we don't have time to stay as active. Even though I go to the gym and he has softball once a week - it's hard work. I guess my motivation is watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians (minus using the Quick Trim).
Even though I know reality telivsion isn't reality - then why do I try to conform to what I'm watching?
