It's easy to feel overwhelmed by your circumstances, mainly because no one's life is even close to perfect unless you're really skinny or really pretty. It's easy to feel like a victim of your circumstances because then you don't have to take any responsibility, even though you're the one who dropped out of beauty college and dated Jeff after you saw his license plate was HOTHEAD.
It's easy to feel like throwing up your hands or your lunch because taking responsibility for your life takes a lot of work, which means less time for daytime TV.
I can never remember which tangerines are the ones that are easy to peel. Some say it's the clementines, others the mandarins, but I think there's more to it than that. They're doing so much goddamn genetic engineering on stuff, that you'd think they'd cross a damn banana and a tangerine by now. I mean, they want us to eat more fruits and veggies, right? So an easy to peel tangerine would be a natural. If they feel the need to add some sort of mood-control agent, or incorporate some anthrax vaccine, I'm okay with that---just as long as the damn thing is easy to peel. (And once they perfect that, then they really need to get that celery/bacon hybrid to market....)
