and the conversation that went down around taking this picture? unbelievable.
dad: why do you want to take a picture?
me: because it’s cute! it’s so adorable! I have to get a picture.
dad starts to walk
me: where are you going?
dad: i want to take a picture with this (the clock to his right)
me: why do you want the clock in the picture?
dad: because you want it because cute, i think this is cute.

our stingy RD said “What’s going on eh? What the matter with Libya and Middle East? Our oil prices go up, our food go up, everything up, up, up. where it gonna go? sky’s not limit anymore, ozone broke!”

Can I say while I was in college and lived away from my parents, I was rarely in their (collective) back hair(s)?
typical conversation between me, carla, and me in my head.
“i’m not drunk enough”
“i want all sorts of weird foods”
“and i want to text people for sex”
“clearly i’m not drunk enough”

This de-stress tea is stressing me out
It’s distressing actually
Wow, tea, that’s a lot to ask for… we’ve only just met, and I was only going to use you anyway. You should keep your expectations lower than that.

in just over 10 hours actually.
One super cool pup.
Snoozing on the cool floor.
Watching basketball with dad.
