Birds are TERRIFYING

Anyone who knows me well is aware of three pretty basic facts about me. I wouldn't say they are definitive of my person, rather they just tend to obviate other information due to their supposed "strangeness" (they're my truths, so I find them completely normal, of course). These three things are:

1. I love hobos
2. I can't eat gluten (more on that coming soon)
3. I have a deeply entrenched- and admittedly irrational- phobia of dead birds


I cannot even bring myself to image search a real bird, that's the level of crazy we're talking about here.

If you think you can handle my ornithophobia, click "Unabridged."

This one time...

I was born. And the universe rejoiced.

Just kidding, I think it's still scratching its head actually. But I am back y'all and will be posting new entries this week!

Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!

Holy cow! I didn't know until I tried to sign in just now, but apparently my site was down for a couple of days due to a Security Breech. Google totally freaked out and texted me an access code and made me change my password so I can better fight off the internet ninjas next time. Luckily, it doesn't seem as if anything has been disturbed here.

I do have an update I want to make (one with DRAWINGS!), but I felt this warranted its own post first, largely because it's so unprecedented. I mean, I realize thousands of people have online security issues everyday, but I never have and google is typically so solid about these things. Ah, well. So it goes. Look forward to a post by the end of the week!

Love,

...for real guys, it's me.

I have a confession to make...

But it's only part-time! I swear!

So, I might have recently began barista training at Starbucks. At a Starbucks inside a Target. Double corporate sellout? It feels like it sometimes.

I mostly did it because in my real job I don't always get to see people and I miss the human contact. I also wanted to pay off as much of my student loans as I could before I went gallivanting off to incur more. So, basically I'm doing it for fun, which, according to some of my friends, apparently makes me strange. 

It is a strange place to be when you're working alongside people who have retail as their main source of income or their full time job. Not that their jobs are any more or less valuable than mine, believe me that is not what I mean to imply. It's just an interesting work dichotomy when there are part-time, full-time, salaried, and hourly employees all essentially doing much of the same job function, but approaching it all very differently. 

I guess what I'm really trying to say is, I'm just like everyone else. Which is awesome, considering some people are predicting all of us to be another lost generation. Looks like I'm right on track!
