Je ne sais pas.

When I was twelve, I went to sixth grade orientation with a fear surrounding the use of hall lockers. My vice principal explained that using a hall locker is as simple as setting your VCR to record a movie on television. I've never understood how to use the VCR recording option, and I'm pretty sure that I now have a huge wall built up in my mind that forbids me from understanding how to record anything with the use of a VCR.

Tonight, I thought I'd try to get around this fear. There's a really important season long Mad Men marathon on AMC tomorrow. I've been trying to watch this show for the last few months, but I have to work tomorrow. So, I went to the store bought three 8 hour EP setting video cassettes and came home to attack the VCR fear. I've been in front of the technological devices for the last hour and a half with three different remotes and several cables and blinking lights and beeping sounds. It's official: I don't know how to do this. I'm really sad too, I might just call in sick tomorrow so I can stay home and watch my marathon. But then I won't be able to pay myself back for these useless video cassettes. BLAH!!!

Help. I'm les tired and really frustrated.
