Television - Affecting My Subconscious
Watching bucket loads of telly sort of comes with the job for me. Which job? Well, a mixture of unemployment and ausculture.com writing, I guess. So I shouldn’t be surprised by the fact that many of the T.V shows I watch are starting to pop up with disturbing ferocity in my dreams.
It started off simple - I was a detective in Law & Order: SVU. Fighting crime and hanging out with my chums Olivia, Elliott, Fin and Munch (not to mention the boss, Donald “Goldfish” Cragan!) was a great way to pass the time in my sleep.
Suddenly and unexpectedly, I had a slightly risqué dream about Angie Harmon. What the…?! I suppose no one - man or woman - is immune to Angie’s husky charms as ADA Abby Carmichael on Law & Order.
Next thing I knew, I began having recurring dreams that I was a gay man, hanging out with my best chum Brian Kinney from Queer As Folk. A bit weird (and it was novel having a penis!) but good fun nonetheless, and I always knew once Brian had stepped into my dream on any given occasion, I was up for a night of dancing, drugs and men men men!
But this morning I was finally incredibly disturbed about what popped up in my dream world. This morning, ladies and gentlemen, I helped deliver Susan Kennedy’s baby… and the father was Merlin from Big Brother! I kid you not!

Oh God, that can't be healthy! Luckily tv hasn't pervaded my dreams (yet), but I know the feeling. I caught myself referring to Trump as "Mister Trump" last night. That's definitely more respect than that walking comb-over deserves!

Gasp! Shock! Sacrilege!
Tune into Big Brother a half hour earlier on a week night and you'll get more Susan Kennedy than you can poke a stick at. Just be sure to boo at the t.v whenever Izzy Hoyland appears.

My apologies Jess...I worked it out just after posting the above but couldn't retract it.
I do catch snippets before BB on occasion...is Izzy the blond harlot character who is banging a different middle aged bloke every time I seem to tune in ?

I say that I suspect you are a teenager who a) has confused the Internet for her mobile phone and b) doesn't fully comprehend or appreciate the fine art of exaggeration to make a point. Embrace exaggeration, Laura! Embrace it and have a one night stand with it, if needs be!
