only on "friends"
at times (which is often) when i'm penniless, i can get satisfaction with simply window shopping. the word “shopping” remains on the activity; so even that lesser evil can be a therapy to me.
today was one of those days when society supports my hard habit to break – it’s “big sale” day on some shops, and “new stocks just arrived” day on my favorite store; so when a friend called (who also 'suffers' a disease -- tv addiction), i was so focused on my obsession, and so was she on hers.

my friend: hey, what’s up?
me: nothing much. just “releasing some tension“ :-)
my friend: same here.. it's show time! and you know what i mean, am right on my comfort zone! he..he..
me: while i’m on my haven! he..he..
my friend: hay.. don’t you just love ross..
me: oh sure, i do! like you wouldn’t believe it!
my friend: ross’ clothes are so cool.. and ross shows big concern for women.. and ross has great appeal! geez, i can’t get enough of ross..
me: and i thought it was just me! so you finally joined my league?
my friend: or did you join mine!! well, sisters not in real life; but at least in passion, yes we are, huh!
me: you mean “fashion”, dear.
my friend: ha? hmmmm. whatever.
me: so.. anything you want from ross?
my friend: get me ross! he..he..
me: that’s too much to afford, sister. maybe one shirt will do.
my friend: yeah, right.. and just how do you plan to do that?
me: well, you can pay me later.
my friend: i mean, how will you get a shirt from ross?
me: what’s hard about that? i'm staring at ross now.
my friend: what????? ross is there???? i’ll go there now, i wanna see ross!!!
me: hey, why freak out? you’ve seen ross many times.
my friend: not in person.... is he really gorgeous?
me: who, the owner?
my friend: what owner?
me: of ross!
my friend: you mean rachel?
me: who’s rachel?
my friend: the owner!.. if that’s the term you wanna use.
me: oh, rachel is the owner’s name? a lady? i thought you asked if “he” is gorgeous?
my friend: are you drunk????? first you said you can get me a shirt from ross like he’s your friend, then you said he’s there, and finally, you refer to rachel as ross’ owner! hmmmppp... by the way, you know how they'll end the show? is the last episode out?
