Rules For Roommates- Rule #1 - Involving Feet


SO. It’s been a while. I’d say that a two-month gap is unusual for me and my projects, but I would be lying and denying my flaky-artist nature. Of course, it’s usually not that bad.This is going to be a new little segment that I do from time to time. Rules For Roommates, because I have seen some things.

So this particular rule became necessary on a trip to Disneyworld. That is my happy place, and let me tell you… Nothing was going to get to me. I was wearing my princess outfit, (the Betsey Johnson dress that a fantastical gay man found for me in California), that made my hair look like it was not a retarded fireball made of straw, my favorite red flats… I was full of invincible-happy.

Of course, it was 7am and there were four people in my 2008 VW Bug (a car that can technically fit four people, but is DEFINITELY not meant for four people) so by the time the two and-a-half hour drive was halfway through, I was making this face until I had an energy drink/was on the Snow Whit ride eating cotton candy:

So, this face. I think we can agree that this is a no-shenanigans face, yes? Good.

BUT THEN!

One of my dear friends PINCHED ME WITH HIS FEET, WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

I don’t get furious often. It’s almost difficult to annoy me, unless you invade my personal space. Then I go to a black place in my mind that only Disneyworld can pull me out of in any reasonable amount of time. Sometimes I say cruel things.

Fortunately for the rest of my party, Disneyworld was only one hour of bubbling-with-rage induced silence away.

But until I live in Disneyworld (IN IT. IN THE CASTLE.) I will have to say that Rules For Roommates’ first rule is this:

Do NOT pinch, poke or rub your feet on your roommate without clear verbal permission. ESPECIALLY NOT WHILE SAID ROOMMATE IS DRIVING. (We almost died.)

*My friend’s feet are not actually gross as pictured, but feet look 10,000 times more yucky when they’re unexpectedly ON YOU.

Keep Sparkling.
