Lifetime Original Movie

Just a little conversation I had with Eddie. As usual, it was funnier in the moment than it might appear after-the-fact.

[Context: a mutual friend of ours got married recently (hey, who hasn't?). Not prior to, but during, her engagement, she found out that her fiance has a son, making her a step-mom, at the age of 26. Wowzers!]

Tomato JT: did you get all my IMS?
Tomato JT: about craziness?
etimus: no, not about crazinesss
Tomato JT: oh. sigh
etimus: sorry
Tomato JT: i said "what is wrong with these people? step kids are somthing i associate with people in their FOURTIES. they are a decade and a half premature. it's like a 10 year old having kids. why can't our peers be happy living normal, normal lives. (normal according to me, b/c i antipicated your asking that.)"
Tomato JT: it's not your fault...my aol was bad
etimus: acutally, i got that.
etimus: haha
etimus: i just didn't know you referred to it as your crazy talk.
Tomato JT: and you made me reytpe???
etimus: i didn't know!
TTomato JT: ok ok
etimus: i thought you wrote something more after i responded.
Tomato JT: what did you write?
etimus: oh, that i think she might be happy.
Tomato JT: i don't disagree. it all just seems so"lifetime original movie," and not so much like "saved by the bell"
etimus: well, it's the real world.
etimus: not saying lifetime truly reflects the real world.
Tomato JT: HAHAHAHA. are you implying "saved by the bell" does not reflect the real world?
Tomato JT: you're funny
Tomato JT: may i post this on my blog?
etimus: sure.

So, in conclusion: Lifetime original movies may not necessarilly reflect the real world, but they do a better job of it than did Saved by the Bell (no offense to Mario López or Tiffany Amber Thiessen).
