(is annie g’s idea for a band name that i think is so wonderful i might pop)
To soon-to-be-graduates who are tired of hearing about the misery of the Real World: contrary to what you’ve been told, it’s absolutely utopic. David and I were just discussing this over a marathon videogame session, wherein we wanted chocolate cake and just made some. In my oven. The one that I don’t have to share with a roommate or entire dormitory. And the only thing sweeter than that cake was the knowledge that from here on out, homework is purely optional. So don’t listen to the hype; the Real World is totally rockin’.
So herein my dorkiness is further highlighted, but I am super, super excited about a tree I just ordered for my apartment. That’s right, I’m putting a six foot tall tree in my living room. I’ve been stalling on selling my least favorite piece of furniture because it’s the tallest fixture in the apartment and the birds like to hang out on top of it. So I was thinking, if I were to get rid of this piece of crap, what would Sophie and Picasso want me to put in its place?, the obvious answer being that they would like me to convert my apartment into a rainforest. And that’s how I came to arrive at this incredibly practical idea. I was embarrassed at the nursery explaining why I had such specific expectations of this tree; I was the customer we always used to secretly mock at the pet store. But really, it’s been a while since I’ve been so excited about a purchase.
I’ve been kind of emotional lately but now that I have a cheerful announcement I thought i’d post it. Pictures of a happy people and plants and animals forthcoming!
Also, I think it’s really creepy when people wink at you, for pretty much any reason. You know, just in case anyone was wondering where I stood on that matter.
