why i have this sinking feeling that one day i will end up marrying someone who knows how to speak elvish

this is a conversation that happened in real life while i was working one day at ben & jerry's.

customer/stranger: You look like a little elf. You probably get that a lot don't you?

me: Ummm. Not really. Aren't elves already little?

customer/stranger: Yeah, but no, like one of the elves in Lord of the Rings, but not as tall.

me: Oh. Ummm. It's probably my left ear. It's kind of pointy.

customer/stranger: That was a compliment by the way.

me: Oh. Thanks.

customer/stranger: Could I get a scoop of cookie dough in a cup please?

me: Sure.


i just paid $88 in unpaid parking tickets. i am going to write an epic poetic narrative about paying $88 in unpaid parking tickets in between ruminations on the impact of Arthurian romance in contemporary society. i will get Anne Carson, Dr. Phil, and R.L. Stine to write blurbs for it.

who tells people they look like an elf?

r.l. stine blurb would be good.

it would contain colorful adjectives and be wildly exxagerative.
