"Do you have an extra towel?"-me
"Uh, no sorry."-Tina
"No big deal. I'll just use my shirt."-me
Tina and I met in Seoul. Together we explored a Penis Park, hunted for Mr. Toilet House and documented the Asian squat in Korea.
Last weekend we reunited in Krakow. As USUAL we made some UNUSUAL plans-drink wine in Eros Bendato (a giant bronze head), scrawl our names on a building and find a mysterious revitalizing energy spot.
My illness kept us from completing our to-do list but it didn't stop us from doing what we do best; bitching about societal pressures.
"I HATE weddings." -Tina
"I HATE showering"-me
"Me too."-Tina
I came back with her from Krakow to Rybnik, the small Polish city where she has recently started teaching English. The combination of us both can be destructive.
"I only have one fork." Tina states while we are making food.
"I can use my hands." She knows I'm not joking but she laughs anyway.
It's not all griping and scrounging for resources though. Tina and I understand and support each other.
"Grad school in Dublin sounds perfect"-me
"You will love Greece" -Tina
"I think my vagina should have a twitter account" -me
"I think that's a very good idea" -Tina
Tina told me on several occasions that I can stay with her as long as I want. She has a couch that folds into a bed, an apartment close to Rybnik's Rynek and her neighbor (bless 'im!) has now lent us two forks and a towel.
Maybe I'll just stay until her washing machine is fixed...

contrary to popular belief, b.o. is not pleasant to be around. i know the people in your family enjoy the smell of body odor and armits, but many others do not.
ReplyDeletesecondarily to that, i will say that if your vagina has something worthwhile to add to the world, then it truly should have its own twitter account. perhaps it can talk about goofy foreign men in headbands or something.
I don't follow anyone on twitter but I would make an exception for your vagina.
ReplyDeleteCall the twitter account, "If these walls could talk"
Robin-since you brought it up, my armpits smell wonderful right now.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm not sure the word "twitter" and "worthwhile" should be in the same sentence. And neither should "goofy" and "headbands".
Tracey-I like the username suggestion but, unfortunately, twitter has a 15 character limit.
I welcome further suggestions.
I've heard the WSJ is looking for contributors.
