I'd Simmer

The Sunday (sorta ) News!

Prompt: Not gonna lie...I care more about the GIFs in this article than I care about the news contained in it, and it has been a major source of joy to me since I first read it Friday morning. So let me ask you this...if you were being interviewed on television for something of importance, how would you handle a situation where your thunder is about to get stolen by someone/something that has no relevance to the subject? *Laugh*

Not well. Knowing me I would probably let it be stolen, put on that fake smile all the while simmering and ready to blow. It would definitely be hard to not roll my eyes. I do that so often I'm completely unaware of it. But the family is quick to point it out when I do it, so I imagine being on television it would happen more often than not.

Though I cannot even imagine being interviewed on television to begin with. I'm the kind of person who tries to hide their annoyance, and then rants non stop in my head, or aloud if I can get away with it. Sarcasm is a must during a rant as well.

Can't you just see it? Me sitting there, about to blow, my mind whirling with snarky things to say, whispering a few choice comments under my breath.

Problem is I'm way too nice, and way too concerned about hurting someone else's feelings. This can be a good and bad thing.
