Dressing down in the office
Me: So, like, how dressed down can I be tomorrow?
Adam: What do you mean?
M: Well, it's a half day and I'm leaving to go camping right after work tomorrow. So, I'd really like to not be all dressed up, if that's okay.
Adam: Just try to look like you have some self-respect.

home is when i'm alone with you
So I’ve been listening to Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes quite a bit lately and there’s that part in the song where he, Alexander, tells her, Jade, that he’s deeply in love with her, and Jade just shouts, “ALL RIGHT!” in joyous response to the news.
And that’s just how I think it should always be.
ALL RIGHT.
Damn it feels good to be a reader.
