the other night i was working with a sort-of boss rather than just a manager, so i made sure i was wearing entirely correct uniform and whatnot. obviously one of the first things he told me was that my name badge was on the wrong side. i wanted to tell him he was lucky i was even WEARING a name badge but i decided i would like to keep my job for now. the reason i stopped wearing my name badge is that it's so weird when people i don't know - complete strangers - say my name. it's creepy, actually. really, really creepy. the same thing happened at my last job - i stopped wearing my name badge because people would say 'thanks, jess' and leave me thinking, 'who the hell was that?' and feeling that moment of panic. even if i can clearly see somebody's name thanks to a badge, i don't say their name. it's weird, don't do it.
on thursday, cate's last day, we bought a lighter and marshmallows and sat in the park, attempting to roast marshmallows on sticks. it was fairly unsuccessful due to the wind. tonight at my sister's birthday barbecue, we had a fire (easier to use than a lighter) and marshmallows. i like my marshmallows absolutely black and bubbling on the outside so that on the inside they are goo.
also on thursday we found these ridiculous 'self heating' cans of hot chocolate and mocha and bought them to test them out. sure enough, you press a button, shake the cans like crazy and they heat up. sounds insanely unhealthy and reminds me of the time i found 'instant mashed potato' which was powder that you just added water to to create mashed potato.. mash your own potato and heat your own chocolate people.
heaven's not a place that you go when you die, it's that moment in life when you actually feel alive.
