Small-town Syndrome

When someone has lived for so long in a small town that they form a sense of entitlement to themselves and act as if there isn't a relevant world outside of their town.

Someone with small-town syndrome usually is majorly concerned with gossip and events only happening with people in their town and let their life revolve around such meaningless rumors. They act as if life is high school. Parents/Adults and children all engage in cliquey behavior.

People with small-town syndrome usually don't realise they act this way, and may be insulted if pointed out.

People with small-town syndrome may have lots of trouble adjusting to life in the real world (wherever they move to out of the comfort of their family/friends also from same town)
Jeff and Jenny are all about meeting at the local café, (the only one in our town, so it is THE place to hang out and gossip), but the problem with the café is that no one seems to be able to talk about any current events in the world, they all seem to have small-town syndrome.

Smallville

A TV show that aired on October 16, 2001 and has been going on for nearly 8 years. So far a total of eight seasons have been released. The protagonist of the show is Clark Kent (Superman's human name), played by Tom Welling, in his teen years. The show focuses on Clark's growth into becoming Superman (examples include the development of morals and the accepting his "Kryptonian destiny"). Many allusions to Superman appear in Smallville, such as Clark's ability to only be able to wear red and blue (the colors of Superman). Overall, an interesting show with a good storyline, but with a somewhat repetitive plotline. I personally find the special effects very visually-appealing, and think that they are all excellently done.
Have you ever watched Smallville? When Clark Kent superspeeds the special effects are soooo awesome!

I learned from Smallville that Superman's real name is Kal-el!

Small Doses

When you like someone or something to a point, but after a little while it starts to get on your nerves and continued exposure makes you feel like biting a steel rod in two.
Lady GaGa is a guilty pleasure of mine, but I can only take her in small doses.
