Problem- maybe, kind of, sort of.

I've never watched a soap opera, but I think that if I ever did, I'd probably love it because they're so scandalous. For some strange reason, if I hear anything remotely scandalous in a summary of something, I immediately pay attention.

Take for example, this event that recently occured:

I'm reading the description of an upcoming book called Alis. As I read it, this is what goes through my mind -description bits from Amazon-

At fourteen, Alis has never been outside her strict religious community.
Cult? Neat....


But when her parents arrange for her to marry a forty-year-old man,
-gasp- MUST HAVE BOOK.

The rest of the description doesn't even matter. At that point, the book was already on my wishlist.

Another example:

I'm reading the description of Something Happened.

-description parts from Amazon as well-

Five months after his dad's unexpected death, Billy Romero is still struggling with the loss. Billy's mom spends more time talking to her Bluetooth than to him, and his best friend, Ziggy, just doesn't get it.

Yeah yeah yeah, who cares?

There's no one who understands how alone Billy feels...except his new English teacher, the young and beautiful Miss Gate.

I see a forbidden relationship coming!

Miss Gate offers support and friendship, even giving Billy extra help with his writing outside of school. Billy isn't really sure how he feels about spending so much time with his teacher. It's a little weird, but it's also kind of exciting that someone like Miss Gate wants to hang out with him. But the closer they get, the more Billy wonders what kind of friendship this really is....

Ohmy, how scandalous. I MUST HAVE IT!

I'm not sure if this is a problem or just a weird habit on my part. Either way, I think it's kind of funny.

Am I the only one with this kind of problem?
