Return of the Geek
Once again I am succumbing to the allure of school supplies. This happens every year around this time. The stores bring out the cute new notebooks, pencils, and binders and I am sucked right in. I'm particularly drawn to anything with bright stripes or mod flowers. It doesn't matter that I have been out of school for years. Seriously, how many iridescent pencil cases and glue sticks am I going to use these days? You know, I think this is why I always liked school so much. There is something to be said for a clean virgin notebook. Opening it for the first time, carefully marking in it with a sharp new pencil (no pens please - they bleed onto the other side of the sheet), never ever crossing the margin on either side, and of course only writing on the front of each sheet. Do you see what forces I'm dealing with here? To satisfy myself (somewhat), I settled for a bold striped ironing board that was in the school section. Baby steps, baby steps.
