it makes me very happy that february is the shortest month of the year.
...and wow, that sounded really racist.
but believe me when i tell you it has nothing to do with black people, and a lot to do with my neuroses. i don't like it when anything crops up again and again in my day-to-day. hilary duff, frozen yogurt, or the history of my darker-complected brothers and sisters. moderation, people. moderation.
anyhow, some highlights from my encounters with black history month thus far:
1. "watch it lady! it's black history month, and you're about to become history!"
- me to the little black lady that darted out in front of the car after molly and i finally went to the taco bell... mmm, taco bell. on a sidenote: i was literally dying to try a crunchwrap supreme, and i must say, i was less than enthralled. the toasting of the outside tortilla leaves it a little too, well, toasted. back to doubledecker taco supremes for me. oh, though, i may try to convince them to smear some beans on a crunchwrap supreme to keep it all closed up and then not have it toasted. we'll see how that goes. believe me, i'll keep you posted. i know this is a very important issue for everyone involved here.
2. "well, how kind of you. though, i do suppose it is black history month, and i am a bit older than you."
- a different little black lady to me after i gave her my seat on the train. not only did i feel that she was completely missing the point of black history month, but i also think she should have realized the seat was at the back of the train... but maybe that whole stigma only applies to buses.
3. "tonight? tonight i'm getting my hair done for tyrone's black history party."
- overheard while waiting for the light to change at wilson and broadway. seriously, though?!? a black history month party? i didn't realize it was that kind of month.
4. just so we're all clear, i want one of these shirts as soon as humanly possible. i'm fond of latoya, tina, whitney, naomi, and mikey t. you know, all the divas. and btw, i wear a size xs in american apparel t-shirts. feel free to email me for my mailing address. thanks in advance.
5. "happy your history month!"
- the crazy, aryan-looking woman dressed up as the statue of liberty to every black person who walked by her.
6. "happy february!"
- the same crazy, aryan-looking woman dressed up as the statue of liberty to every not-black person who walked by her.
that's it so far, but we're only 3 days in... what wonders does the future hold?!?
...and i'm totally serious about those shirts.

i refuse to believe you didn't like the crunchwrap supreme. they are so choice. maybe you should try getting one from a different taco bell...? spesh
i agree with Spesh on the CWS...I think it was just the taco bell. obvs i would get you that t-shirt if we have a printer that worked right now...
