There are just some things you don’t take for granted. Some things that, no matter how shitty your life seems to be at the moment, the little things strike you and you are held up in their comfort, if only for just a moment.
I made hot chocolate tonight, and when I picked up one of my mom’s beautiful flow blue tea cups, it was still warm from the dishwasher. Ah. And there were marshmallows. It doesn’t get much better when something like that makes you totally forget all worry and anxiety and you think of nothing but the perfectness of it.
That was a while ago, though. I’ve been reading online journals I haven’t read in a while, and that always puts me in a strange mood. Sort of nostalgic, but for the present, if that makes any sense. And very Zen-like. ‘Life is going to work out okay’ and stuff. I cling to those moments.
And for ALL of my friends who apparently have never seen a silverfish in their ENTIRE lives, and have no clue what I’m talking about, which is impossible if they really do live in Oklahoma and don’t just commute from somewhere else, here is a picture of what just crawled up my wall and then fell off halfway. I actually found a few real pictures, but I just… couldn’t.
And just like I said, BILLY, they’re usually found in bathtubs. I don’t know what it is, they just really give me the shivers like no other bug can. I mean, I scream at spiders, but when you see the fluidity of one of these babies walking (or seemingly slithering), you can’t help but think it just seems WRONG in a Twilight Zone kind of way.
Super. I have just learned that there is something remarkably similar to a silverfish, except the little tail thing looks even more devilish, and it is called a ‘firebrat.’ Okay. Somebody needs to die. They’ve created a moving image of one with it’s little antennae and Satan tail thing wiggling around. Dear God. I suddenly need to bathe myself in Listerine.
Anyhoo, on a lighter note, I think I have found my perfect digital camera. I like to do my research on expensive technology, and I picked this one twice, in two different situations, forgetting I had picked it the first time. The first time was online, but the second was in Wal-Mart the other day. The Canon Power Shot A60. (It’s the one on the right.)
Yay picking the same camera. Woohoo! I’m going to bed now. I hope the critters don’t get me. Arg.
