Dear Mr. Crazy,

Why must you come into my library and set up shop right by my desk? Do you not see the thirty computers to your right? No, you HAVE to use the computer terminal that faces the reference desk and repeatedly say “fuck face” to the screen. Sometimes I wonder if you are secretly saying “fuck face” to me, but then I realize you are crazy, and even if you were, it wouldn’t really matter. I wish you understood that people don’t like hearing “fuck face” and “shit’s hella racist” over and over, but maybe you do and just don’t care. Perhaps you are a genius, because everyone always says there is a thin line between insanity and brilliance. I recently found out that sometimes when people are so incredibly smart, their brains can’t take it and form problems with sleep. Instead of snoozing they go dormant, while the brain stays active (i.e. awake) and the body is in a frozen state. Mr. Crazy, do you suffer from this? If I did, I would probably say “fuck face” to my computer screen too. Do you giggle to yourself when you blurt our “shit race” and I shh you calmly as if you were just playing your music too loud? If I’m in a good mood, I do… but today I’m not in a good mood, because I’m tired of your craziness. If there is any semblance of normalcy in your thought process, I bet you are too, and this makes me sad, because I can’t really do anything. Except hope that you’ll decide to not frequent my library tomorrow.

Sincerely,

The Librarian That is Constantly Trying to Avoid Eye Contact With You

Flags are so absurd… but everyone is doing it, so lets talk about the weird ones!

ALBANIA

How and the what?! This flag is so bad ass… I want to listen to Metal and go spear someone. Or cower in the corner because this flag is actually super scary.

ANTARCTICA

Drat, I spilled some bleach on this sheet.

BRITISH INDIAN OCEAN

I can usually tell the onset of Autumn by the crisp air, the busy students, and my snotty nose.

Like clock work, if it’s fall, I have a cold which will persist through the remainder of the year. It got so bad last year, that I thought I must have magically contracted AIDS from a toilet seat or something. I just couldn’t get healthy. Knock on wood, I don’t have any diseases… just burn the candle on both ends, and sometimes in the middle. Actually, I think the whole candle is ablaze.

If people are hanging out, I want to hang out… and therefore I remain sick FOREVER. I’ve been lucky enough to gather a group of active friends that are constantly doing crap, so when invited to sing karaoke… I bite the bullet and convince myself that the little tickle in the back of my throat is just some weird lint I must have inhaled while cleaning my desk. When propositioned with drinks out on the town… I figure my sniffles are some fluke allergy stirred up by passing Arctic winds. If there’s a party, I’ll just throw on a coat to stifle that body chill.

Now, I understand that this is stupid. Not only am I prolonging my cold, and perhaps making it worse, but I’ve now become the Johnny Appleseed of sickness. One by one, my friends start to complain how they too are ill, and I can’t help but wonder, “was that my cold?”

All the sniffles, the tingles, and popping of ears finally culminate into one giant cold extravaganza. Leaving me draped on the couch whining to any one in the roon, “I’M DYING!!!” Which of course is silly because it could have been prevented.

Will I ever learn… probably not…
