I didn't realize until just recently how much I miss the ease and beauty of my life three years ago.
I used to be a theatre techie at my high school, and tech took up a vast majority of all our lives. Like, it was our work and our social life; there just wasn't room for anything else. It was truly a family. One of the girls just posted a new status on Facebook which reminded me of all this.
She was a ditz. A huge ditz. One day she asked me what the word "irony" meant, and I just couldn't resist.
Me - "Really? You don't know what irony is?"
Her - "Well...No..."
Me - "...Okay, let's walk through this. What's the main word in 'irony'?"
Her - "Uh...Oh! Iron!"
Me - "Right! And what do you use irons for?"
Her - "To make things flat!"
Me - "Right! So the word 'irony' refers to things that are flat horizontally."
Her - "Ohhh, okay!"
Me - "Now don't get this mixed up with 'ironic', because that means things that are flat vertically. Like that wall? It's ironic. The part of the chair you sit on? It's irony."
Her - "Oh, alright! Thanks!"
Eight or nine people around us were trying so hard not to absolutely crack up, and two had to get up and leave to prevent laughing aloud. The saddest part is that I'm not kidding about any of this.
And I miss it:(
Any part(s) of your life that you miss that you can look back on with a chuckle?
