I don't belong here

I'm feeling like coming home probably wasn't the smartest decision I've ever made.

10dimensions and I were having this conversation last weekend about how there are so many people in the world who just go to work, come home, watch TV, and never seem to want anything more out of life.

And now I'm having this really uncomfortable feeling that that's my family.

Recent conversation:

Mom: Did you watch Miss Match?
Me: No, Mom. I'm not watching much TV these days.

Five minutes later:

Mom: Did you watch The Lyon's Den?
Me: Mom, I told you that I'm not watching much TV.

It's an awful thing to try and come home and then realize that home isn't home. And right now, I have no idea where home is.

I hate that. A good friend of mine does it, but he takes it a step beyond. He'll ask if I've seen a show, I'll tell him that not only have I never seen that show, I have no interest in ever seeing it, then he goes into an in-depth explaination of the intricacies of the plot and maybe something funny/cool/amazing he saw on said show.

So far, he's done it with the short-lived John Doe, the likewise short-lived Firefly, and the looks-unfunny MAD-TV. I've learned to just step away and find another conversation if he mentions any of those shows.
