my motto, too

these kids are going to come around — or they’re not

loved the fresh air with paul reubens:

REUBENS: …And then we moved to Florida. And moving to Florida was, like, incredible. I thought we moved to Hawaii. I thought we were in the tropics or something. And my mother took us to go get back-to-school clothes. And I bought all these beachcomber outfits. So I showed up for the first day of school in fourth grade in Florida with, like, clamdigger pants on and these nautical shirts and — like a total freak.

And the kids at school were like, What are YOU supposed to be? And the thing that was funny about it in hindsight is, like, normally in that kind of situation I think the kids would probably — you would probably go like, Oh, oh, sorry. You know, I didn’t know what it was — but me, I was totally like, Don’t you get it? You know, I’m a beachcomber. What’s wrong with you guys?

And instead, like, the next day, I, like, put out another variation of the same outfit and put it on and got back to school and was like, You know, these kids are going to come around or they’re not — whatever. But I’m not changing.

things we love

• costco
• family

  ETC A LOT OF OTHER STUFF BUT THIS IS WHAT IS REALLY COMING TO MIND TODAY

another regrettable strip club name

hmm

tried on my wedding dress last night, thinking maybe i’d wear it out to dinner, because it was never a fancy dress, just a dressy plain dress, and why not wear it once in a while? but guess what, it looked awful! like mostly too big but not exactly.

me: this doesn’t fit right anymore! it’s too big now!
ross: i always thought it was too small.
me: too small? what part of this is too small?

but he wasn’t exactly wrong. so now i’m looking over my wedding photos and like, damn it definitely never fit right? which is maybe what he was trying to say. anyway great, now it’s in the goodwill bag. THE END GOODBYE

all i wanna do is

drink coffee, listen to wes anderson movie commentaries, learn about robert oppenheimer, fall asleep at 9pm, never worry about anything again
