I made a comment about my gym and Dollhouse and how I can;t make myself go to it but the idea festered in my mind.

Well what if I treated my gym like The Dollhouse? What always happened was I would be getting ready to gym and thinking "Okay so! remember EXERCISE HELPS WITH DEPRESSION!" and then a voice would go " WELL DAVID FOSTER WALLACE WAS A TENNIS FREAK AND THAT DIDN'T STOP HIIIIIIIM". And then I would stop getting ready and crawl into a corner and die.

But now, with the idea of The Dollouse in my head. I went to the gym and went
"Okay so pretend you're in the Dollhouse. You are an Active. You have a job. Do that Job." Pretend you're walking in on a new set replacing someone. GO.

"Oh god you are the fattes-"
zap-not an Active thought
"Seriously you could be doing-"
Zap-Doll has an order
"Look at them all sweating and-"
zap-Doll orders. This Active is on the bike now, and listening to french lessons.

Just pretend I was not working out Like an acting role. Pretend to be an extra in the Dollhouse and you've got to stay in this place for an hour and mind the imaginary angels. and marks. I've been in shows before, I can follow cues.

It worked really, really well and that's slightly disturbing.
