Happy Friday

Did I say 'Fat'?

I know the things I say will come back to bite me in the ass someday.
That's why, every time I take the liberty to call someone 'fat', I almost immediately follow it up with a silent prayer begging the Universe not to make me three things, fat, ugly or poor. Or a combination of any of those.
And depending on the tone I used while using the 'f' word, I also ask for one lethal superpower... just in case someone decides to come sit on me.

He was something she had only seen on posters in the city; unkempt hair, short pants, a side bag and dark sunglasses that only ever came off while talking to the elders. But what really drew her little feet to him was the whole different universe he carried on his shoulder. For the first few days, she observed in wonder as he sat with the village heads, dug into his bag and laid out his wares; a set of detailed maps, a compass, pencils in myriad colors, blank sheets of paper and a monster of a camera that clasped his neck all day. When he finally took notice of her sharp, brown eyes following him, he smiled, bent down and handed her a bright blue pencil. From then on, she accompanied him everywhere. And from then on, everyday, he would reach into his bag and pull out something for his faithful little companion. A few days ago it was a golden paper star, yesterday it was a toffee, and today, an eraser shaped like a rabbit. They never spoke in words, these two, only smiles and shapes. And she woke up every morning wondering what part of his wide exciting world he would share with her that day!

The Fact That...

The fact that a lesbian might have lived in my hostel and that I never even tried to verify it (in the presence of so much bait) saddens me to no end!

This summer heat continues to ruthlessly compound my problems... As if it wasn't already hard for me to keep a pair of pants on!

I am so hungry that...

I am so hungry that I want to cover the whole planet with gooey evil dark cocoa, pack it in a sweet bun and eat it! But then again, it’s full of human worms and filthy oil spills so maybe not.

These Days...

...You know that people have reached the end of their tether and you've got to take them seriously when they say, "Dude seriously, not cool!"
