I’m a twenty-something university grad living in the Bay Area with hopes of returning to the world of academia for Japanese, linguistics, or East Asian Studies.
My obsessive-compulsions include stopping the microwave only when the time remaining is divisible by five and reading the fine print on commercials.
My first sip of tea was out of my baby bottle. I make one of the best cuppas you’ll ever taste.
People tell me I get the job or they interact with me because I have a big personality, but then they get up-in-arms when I turn out not to be some robot that will continuously support and never want anything. Solitude sounds golden right now.
Why I should remember to cut my thumbnail before bowling. It’s bleeding a bit too.
The only thing ‘flat’ about me is my note
Late at night, I sing jingles from the 80s and 90s while strolling around in my knickers.
I really want to make a Mentos commercial during these nightly rounds.
new pet peeve
The abuse of the word “never”: I never heard back from you; You never want to go out; You never return my calls; etc. I believe you need to use the word “didn’t” or “don’t” (depending on context) because if you never heard back from me we wouldn’t have an email chain of correspondence between us; if I never went out I would not have a social life of some sort or have met you; and if I never returned your call you wouldn’t know the sound of my voice.
Seriously, you can say “up til present day, Earth has never been engulfed by the sun” - that’s an appropriate use of the word never.
Sometimes the world is easier to deal with upside down.
Woke up early on my last day off…
… to clean out our on-site storage unit only to find that another key-holder (one of the other units or the landlord) broke their key in the main entrance to the individual storage units, so we can’t unlock the door.
Cue applause. Thank you everyone for your lack of trying to fix the damn thing.
