[Day 280] Paris Souvenirs are Dirty

No pun or subtlety in the title today. I want to talk about exactly what it says: French souvenir shops are perverted.

It seems like every single shop I go into has the same things; hats, I <3 Paris shirts, and Paris purses. I expected all that. But what I didn’t expect were the sex cubes (a different position with every role!), condoms (Je t’aime!), nude playing cards (eh?), and thongs. Ok, thongs I suppose are fairly standard. But sheesh.

[Day 278] Oui Oui Paris!

I have spent almost the last 24 hours in airports or airplanes, and then upon arriving to Paris finally at 2 in the morning Colorado time, I spent about an hour at the baggage claim and then another hour in the car with a crazy French man who seemed to enjoy putting us in near-death situations. But clearly, I am alive, and so after another hour or so trolling the streets around our rented apartment, I have compiled a list of what makes you blend into Paris.

[Day 275] Officially

Well, I’ve officially graduated from high school. And to be honest, I thought it would feel different. Better. More profound. But all I felt was bored and cold.

If I’m really being honest, the best part of the night was afterwards, when I saw Dylan and yelled “where the hell is my pen?” At least one of the issues I started this project over has been resolved. Resolved quite nicely, actually.

On an unrelated note, I’m not ashamed to admit my eyes watered when they forgot to call Bart’s name for the military students, and again when they did call his name while everyone got their diplomas. He should have been there.

Congratulations to all 2010 graduates, and good luck.

[Day 272] Whoops

Tonight’s (very very) late post is going to be short, as I left my glasses in the bathroom and I’m too lazy/tired to go get them. It’s also 11:23 at night and I’m not in the mood for anything particularly involved.

Today I spent cleaning the house in preparation for my grandparents arriving, giving away many books and CDs to make room on my shelves for new ones, graduation party hopping, and watching Doctor Who.

I actually do feel more mature, believe it or not. Now that I’m no longer a high school student, there’s this weird feeling of responsibility that I feel like I’ve shouldered. And I’m not sure how I feel about that yet.
