Sleepovers

Why is it 


that only children are supposed to build forts out of the furniture in their dining room and sleep in them?
Why can't the twenty somethings do it too?


Jokes on you world, because I do it anyway.

Chug Dogs

How is it that I do not own one of these cuddly things??

Besides the fact that my apartment complex doesn't allow pets....

May or may not have seen a girl walking around carrying on of these the other day and stalked her until I could pet it.


I may be a crazy pug lady some day. It may be a real problem.
Don't judge.

Feet

Last night I acted in an expirimental production of a show called Feet.
The audience all sat under a table  and the action took place all around the table so that all you could see were the actors feet.


And when the actors weren't in a scene they sat on top of the table.


 And there were clothes on the floor at each different part of the set and the actors just wore their under wear and put the clothes on to signify new characters.


So it also looked like we were naked.


It was supposed to challenge the way people viewed theatre.


A lot of people were confused.


And jealous of how excellent we are.

Predictive Text Poem of the Day:

So now could we be awkward as he does not. Can it be earlier by men?

Life in the Te-jas apartment

I have recently moved into my first real adult apartment.
Of course by 'Real adult' I actually mean "apartment in general where I live with two other young twenty somethings who think we're adults even though we're not"
We do multiple adult things like watch the entire first season of skins in one day, eat rice out of bowls on the floor, spend money we don't have on beer, and recycle.
(But mostly the rice thing, as we recently bought a twenty pound bag of rice at Sam's club and have been spending the last three weeks coming up with every rice recipe we can.)

We eat dinner together every night because we hear families who do that are better off.

Our apartment is small and our neighbors are loud and we have no money for food, I sleep on a futon for now until my bed gets here, except for the nights I sleep in Roomie Js bed so that her and I can snuggle, and somedays we walk around wrapped in blankets over our pajamas all morning to stay warm.

And honestly I believe that is how twenty somethings are supposed to live. To get the experience of being young, and being ridiculous, and living in your first apartment.

And I rejoice in that fact.

This past week I tried my hand at stay at home motherhood when my mother went out of town and I stayed the week with my youngest sister Finn who is 14.
I imagined myself doing things like attending book club meetings and saying insightful things about Oprah's pick of the week.
I also secretly hoped that perhaps a teacher would wrong Finn in some way and I could storm into the principles office all dramatically exclaiming things like 'We do not pay for Private school education for this type of treatment!
My mother isn't actually in a book club, and apparently Finn likes to handle teachers on her own.
But I did take up crafting. I discovered a new favourite blog and after stalking it for a while wanted to try paper cutting too so I made this.

I think I could be a very sucesful stay at home mother.

At least the kind that does crafts.

oh how Stylish

When I am fancy I will have a pug dog with ribbons connected to my shoe just as the New Yorker portrays.


Potential names for the Pug dog are currently: Wes, Bartholomew, Richie, Attecus, Toby, Jere, and Paul.


Do not scoff at my dreams.

I have plans

I've decided I should like to live in Pompei please.

You would not even have to restore it, or make it a functional city, or do anything of that kind that might make it actually safe or convinent to live in.

I would get a matress pad, preferably a temperidic one because their softness astounds me.

And maybe a brita water filter, and I'd sleep on the floor of the villa of mysteries.

And keep one of the stray dogs as a pet.

This is a brilliant plan.

As long as that volcano doesn't errupt again, then we might have trouble.

Volcano aside.

This is a brilliant idea.
