A third thought has now entered my mind:
3. So, I'm into greeting cards. They are a dying form of communication. I often buy them, but the reality of me actually sending them is another matter. A couple of posts ago I wrote about a shark valentine. I cannot send it currently because I don't have a boyfriend and randomly sending it to anyone else would be pretty creepy. I have a few more random and equally awesome cards stored away, waiting for the right moment. Now, here's the thing. When sending a card, you need a. a recipient b. a stamp and c. to mail it. I often have a combo of the two but generally not at the same time. Sometimes I get to the c. (mailing it) part and nothing happens. I just can't make it to c. The problem with this is, so yeah, a belated birthday card---acceptable, within reason. I'm usually out of reason in that I send the card that I bought before your birthday around 5 months after your birthday, but still, it's sort of acceptable. Right now, I have some hey you're having a baby, thinking of you, and condolence cards to mail out, all of which should have been mailed out 1-2 weeks ago. Okay, so hey you're having a baby I can probably get away with not sending for a couple of more months, ya know, until the baby actually happens. But condolence cards? How can you send a belated condolence card? It's like sorry your boyfriend broke up with you 3 months ago. Sorry your pet died 8 months ago. I really need to buy stamps tomorrow or else I'm essentially going to be mailing dear friends a lot of miserable memories. Ah!
And that was my third thought of the day. Back to practicing the worm. I think I am actually getting it!
