Mike wanted to go see David Sedaris in Wilmington and, being the gracious human he is, bought me a ticket. So, we get there and we see he's signing books. So I buy a book to give to Julie Triboletti (yeah, she's still alive, believe it or not). Here's the conversation I had to with comic/literary genius David Sedaris:
Me: Hi.
David Sedaris: Hi. So, what's your waist size?
Me: Um... 28.
David Sedaris: And how tall are you?
Me: 5'4.
David Sedaris: Okay, well, I'm 5'5 and 30. I went on this diet and got down to 28 but it just wasn't for me. You know when you start to make money you can buy clothes from this European brand... um... what's it called (then he fumbled around until he remembered the name which now escapes me). You can buy clothes from them.
Ha, oh, my god, it was so awkward. I mean, not really. It was just funny. He's a freak on a leash. Anyway, I'm working at the library all spring break and so far the ladies at the library have informed me of the following:
1. I need to get a life.
2. I am not what you would expect out of a preacher's son.
3. I am not one of those people who can just roll out of bed and look okay.
4. I enjoy working there too much.
5. I am not meant to work in any form of service industry.
6. And finally, I need to buy new clothes.
Sweet, right?
