I want to say i am a sucker for marketing, but I don't think that is correct. It seems more an influence of things that I connect with.

Sadly, that happens to be mostly my TV.

I just, need to have what i see on it; like, if someone on TV is drinking a coke, i want a can of coke. If someone on a show just poured a glass of wine, i need to pour myself a glass of wine.

I suppose it isn't limited to TV though, now that i think about it. If someone in a book i am reading goes to bed, i suddenly want to go snuggle in under my covers.

And, it occurs as I do my own writing. One of my characters went on a road trip, and i became antsy, wanting to pack my own bags and go somewhere.

and, unfortunately, I just wrote a paragraph where that same character accepted a drinking dare...

so, now, here i sit, with a shot glass filled with Bacardi 151 in front of me, thinking how i really REALLY need to be a stronger person....
