The Life and Times of Timmy

I've lost Jen. This happens from time to time. Like all ADDers, she's susceptible to periods of hyperfocus. A couple of times a year, she stays up all night scouring the internet for obscure information. This past weekend, starting on Friday afternoon, she got involved in the Timmy scandal.

I don't know who Timmy is, and in fact, no one does. That's the problem. An anonymous blogger in the entertainment industry is stringing along hundreds of people with a very juicy story. Evidently, many years ago, there was a famous Hollywood actress who was actually a man. The blogger has been dropping cryptic hints here and there and promises to reveal Timmy's true identity next week. But Jen and others like her are desperate to solve the mystery before the big reveal.

So I've had a lot of "me time" since the Timmy saga began. It's nice, but I do get bored without Jen to talk to. Plus, I know it doesn't do her any good to lose sleep over something that has no relevance whatsoever to her life. On Friday night, I literally stared her down over the computer screen for a good 30 minutes before I could get her to come to bed.

But in her defense, she's been trying really hard to stay off the website since Saturday. She even shut down her computer and asked me to hide our laptop. Now that's ADD management!

I have to admit it's kind of annoying when my partner is consumed with something that doesn't interest me at all. But she deals with my idiosyncrasies, so it's only fair that I tolerate hers.

Plus, I really want to know who Timmy is.
