I feel like making lists today. I:
-got married while barefoot.
-named a pet fish “Sushi.”
-was an official screamer for a haunted house (my throat ached for days).
-named my son after two musicians (but also my father-in-law).
-learned to read before I was three (thanks, mom).
-won tickets to Coachella to see the one band I never thought I’d get to see (yay, Pixies reunion!).
-never learned to play the cello (how sad).
-wish I had more time for everything (wait, that’s not unusual or notable!)
-realize this is a waste of everyone’s time, including my own.
Decided this weekend that my dream job would be to travel around with companies who tear down buildings and photograph their work. I really need to work toward that, because it would be pretty much perfect. Classward-ho, I guess!
So I was thinking… there are so many things going on that were prophesied for the future years ago. Food shortages, long-running, useless wars, major devaluation of the dollar, prices on everything increasing rapidly. We’re living on the edge of a dystopia and now that we’re here, no one seems to think it’s much of a big deal. Here’s your future.
What does it say about me when I have to put “update Facebook” on my damn to-do list? Which is, by the way, extraordinarily long.
Christopher just reminded me of something — once, while admiring a Mac Pro at CompUSA (RIP), I typed in TextEdit, “This is a computer for rich people,” and walked away.
Now I have one. So why aren’t I rich?
