We Are What Obsesses Us
I wake up in the morning and need to know the weather. I pass by a newsstand and need to know the headlines. My all-time favorite need-to-know topic is anything having to do with the entertainment industry. I'm a little concerned that all this needing to know may be ruining my life. (Let's not forget about the children!)

Though I've heard the word used plenty of times, I'd never been able to suss out its meaning by the context; my standard response had been to ignore it and nod my head.

They came to see us just as much as we came to see them.

Maybe for you it was your coworkers gawking at you like you just kicked a puppy after you admitted to missing a politically charged Frontline special because a new episode of Grey's Anatomy was on. Whatever the exact situation, it happens to all of us often enough to make us wonder: Are they just being judgmental jerks, or are they onto something? Does our personal taste in recreational interests really dictate how aware we are of the world around us?
