Two things:
1. Americans like to label themselves by their work. On Saturday, after surviving the rapture, I was asked this question no less than six times. I gave a different answer each time. There are only so many times I can say, "a jack of all trades, master of none" without sounding like a cliche. I wonder what
this woman says when she gets asked that. Do socialites actually claim themselves as socialites? I said that (somewhat jokingly) to a stranger and his face went like O_O.
2. Raise your hand if the idea of the rapture freaked you out and prevented you from getting a good night's sleep. Okay, so it was just me. Can I move somewhere there aren't religious activists? How about that space in the middle of Australia?

| Later, Ryan mashed the leftover chili and cheese and ate it. Cheese is not supposed to be that color. |

ha! the job status is SO true in the US. totally annoying. and the rapture nonsense? at 5 til 6pm in NYC, huge dark storm clouds rolled through and i actually kind of got a little freaked for a second. then i went home and independence day was on tv and i just rolled my eyes and changed the channel :)
ReplyDeleteIt's actually considered rude in some cultures to ask somebody what they do for a living. It is what I choose to do what should define me, rather than what I have to do to keep a roof over my head! Of course the ideal is to do something you live.
ReplyDeleteOh and there was a hipster rapture too, pretty obscure though, you wouldn't have heard of anyone taken up ;)
