Yesterday I was talking to my best friend.  We were talking and I was going on and on and on about JM.  This is the subject of most of our conversations and she is not like me.  She is very polite and doesn’t interrupt like I do.  So she will just keep letting me talk.  But yesterday she actually interrupted me.  She said, “Can we talk about something else… something that doesn’t have to do with real life?”  I almost busted out laughing because she might as well have just said, “Hey you, would you stop talking.  You’re boring me to death.”  See when my sister and I talk we constantly interrupt each other, don’t listen to what the other one is saying, and  finish each other’s sentences with things that we were not actually going to say.  (Okay, I do this more than Teresa does.)  But my friend Michelle doesn’t interrupt me ever and I wish she would.  I converse better with interrupters.

So after this interruption I was expecting something important to come out of her mouth.  The last time I rudely blabbed on and on like this she had a personal tragedy in her life and I was too busy talking to give her a minute to tell me the news.  I was afraid I was having another one of my rude moments so I was relieved when I heard, “what do you think of this whole John and Kate Plus 8 thing?”

I am not totally sure what her opinions are because again I was too busy blabbing and not doing a good enough job listening.  I have mentioned that I have problems with paying attention before haven’t I?  And Rachel knows that I have a horrible memory.  I need to carry one of those little tape recorders around and keep notes of my conversations so I can actually remember what people say to me.

So my opinion on John and Kate Plus 8… the same thing I thought about any other cheating celebrity dude (or dudette), I don’t care.  Not my life, not my husband, so I just don’t really care.  Not to mention that I think there are plenty of cheaters in this world but not all of us get our personal lives thrown out there for the whole world to gossip about.  On the other hand, I didn’t choose to put my family on a reality TV show for all the world to see and you just can’t have your cake and eat it too.  So maybe I sort of feel bad for them but I don’t think this story is all that entertaining.  I didn’t actually think that they had reached the celebrity status of getting the kind of buzz they are getting but I guess when it comes to gossip, this is as good as it gets.

Then after talking about John and Kate, which by the way my best friend knows way more gossip about them than I would ever keep up with, we talked about who else… the Octomom.  I wish I had seen this little video clip from crazy octowoman before I talked to her because then I would have had one more gossipy thing to talk about.  We don’t gossip about real people, mostly because neither of have any friends, but also I don’t like gossiping about people I know in real life as much.  I feel too guilty and paranoid to talk about people I actually know.

If you want to hear my thoughts on octomom here goes.  I feel sort of sorry for her in a way.  I know that I wouldn’t want a bunch of people buzzing around me telling me how to raise my kids.  But, my sympathy doesn’t go very far because she sounds like a spoiled, immature, nut job every time I listen to her talk.  Everything out of her mouth is they just want my attention… Yeh that’s it.  Everybody wants a piece of your baby action.  I think not.  We want you to stop getting all this attention but we don’t want your attention.

I very much think the woman set out to be the octomom.  I do not think this was an accident.  I think she wanted multiples.  Maybe she didn’t think she’d end up with six but she already had twins.  She had six eggs implanted several times, not just once.  I think she knew that this could happen.  How could she not?  After having twins with her last pregnancy I don’t understand why she wouldn’t scale back the number of embryos being implanted unless she was comfortable with all of them sticking.  Maybe I am wrong but the way she acts makes me think this was not at all an ooh oops, didn’t mean to have this many.

I started off being very non-judgemental of this lady because I am just not that kind of person but each time I start to think she is okay she opens her mouth again.  Stop talking to the press and saying stupid things if you want people to start liking you.  She so obviously wants to be a celebrity and it annoys me.  I guess I am little late to get in on the Octomom talk but figured since I was gossiping I would share my two cents.

And the final thing my friend and I talked about.  I must blog about this because I just need everyone to know PATTY LOVES STEPHEN BALDWIN.  My best friend knows it and is always filling me in on what he is up to.  She does a better job being in his fan club than I do.  But, then I forgot to tune in and watch him.  He is doing some celebrity something or other show.  I need to go figure out what it is.

Oh eH – JM needs a celebrity daddy article on Stephen Baldwin pretty please… Hee hee hee…  It’s better than the Jonas brothers… (Inside joke.  Well not about Stephen Baldwin.  I do really love him.)
