This Christmas grew my band-aid collection to 10 boxes. There are no plain ones and no repeats. My favorite are the Seseme Street ones that I am actually running out of.
The reason that I like band-aids so much is because they are the perfect example of being handed life's lemons and making lemonade...or if you are especially inventive, making pink panty-droppers. Whenever you get a cut, instead of simply being bloody or in pain, you can slap on a Batman strip and all of a sudden it stops hurting, you can't see the blood, and you are making a happy little fashion statement on your finger. I just got a cut and I will be wearing one tomorrow...perhaps one of the koala ones. And in the end, having a pink-panty dropper is actually more fun than not having to deal with the lemon in the first place.
Anyway, I am being supremely dumb as a result of my lack of sleep and incessant sneezing that is interrupting any hope of a train of thought, but I was really making a valiant effort to apply the band-aid/lemonade theory to the rest of my life today. I suffered through 2 hours of China class, but didn't actually die because I spent the entire time on AIM with Samantha. Point Phoebe. Then, I dealt with being cold by wearing a cute hat. Yes. Next, I got over being lonely at my meeting and having to walk back with the College Republican's (don't ask me how that even happened) by going to see Stephen who I normally would've seen and preventing him from studying Arabic. This may not have been positive for him, but it was for me (even more fun than if he would have been at YD's) because he did his imitations of people and made me laugh. Plus I got to tell him gossippy stories that I could only tell someone like him because everyone else would pass them along. Fabulous. Fiiiiiinally, I coped with not having juice by drinking water which, though yucky, will make me healthier. I think that this means that, as far as today goes, I win.
