A few years ago, I was walking in Portland… …when I felt something hit me. It didn’t hit me hard, it didn’t knock me over. It was just enough to notice, something small. I looked down and saw an M&M on the ground. But I didn’t see anywhere an M&M could have fallen from. So I kept walking, and it happened again.
I got so nervous when I saw the notification because I WAS EATING M&Ms at that exact moment, so I kinda assumed I accidentally threw one at someone and they were emailing me about it? But then I realized it was you and I’m so happy to hear from you again! What a 🎢 of emotions
I am disappointed to report that (unlike the other commenters) I am not eating M&Ms while typing this. 😔
But my brain enjoyed reading your newsletter!
I ordered the book "Bitch" because of your recommendation on Instagram a little while ago. I was sad that the American version (which I got) had a different cover and tag line (subtitle?) than the British version. If it is as good as I expect it to be, I might have to special order a British version!
My current favorite book series of all time is called "Yotsuba&!" I stumbled across it when I was looking for some good manga series at my local public library branch. The tagline is "Enjoy Everything." It is a slice-of-life comic about a young girl named Yotsuba and the people around her. I want to share it with everyone. But I do think you would like it. In one scene, Yotsuba goes to a yoga class with her teenaged neighbor and it is raining when they leave so she wears her rain coat over her backpack. It made me think of you.
A couple of years ago I was walking down the street in Cody, WY while on a road trip. I felt something pelt me, and screamed, "I've been shot!" My husband was concerned... Turns out, some teenagers were scooting around the streets in a truck shooting things with nerf guns! I was appalled, but laughed so hard because it reminded me of crazy shenanigans my friends and I would pull growing up in a small town. -Lacey Murray
I think your brain was simply leaving a trail of M&Ms to the secret spot where you hide them: my brain really seldom trusts itself, so even yours probably creates shortcuts to avoid dealing with its own brain.
Who threw that M&M at me
