modern foppery

I was on a campus visit last spring, meaning that I was one of three finalists for a tenure-track job. The professor who was driving me around town (and who was weird in a number of ways that I won’t get into here) got a text from one of his colleagues and asked me to answer it for him while he was driving.

Just one problem: HE HAD A FLIP PHONE.

I hadn’t sent a text from a flip phone in over five years (and I got a smartphone relatively late, in 2013). While the professor dictated a message to me, I spent SEVERAL MINUTES attempting to text this guy I’d never met, messing up, realizing I’d forgotten how to delete characters, canceling, starting over, etc. It was so unspeakably awkward.

days of the week;

monday: snoozing your alarm clock, navy, seeing the moon in the morning, vanilla ice cream, writing poetry, blurry photographs, windswept hair, iced coffee

tuesday: seeing a cat on the street, a light rain shower, untied shoelaces, indistinct music from someone else’s earphones, empty coffee shops, denim jackets, long train rides

wednesday: pastel highlighters, drinking water, group laughter, plucking daisy petals, floral scents, counting down to a birthday, peonies

thursday: old books, a downpour, telling the truth, comfortable silence, hand holding, wrapping a gift, the smell of leather, reminiscence

friday: neon lights, sweet cravings, a little bit drunk, falling in love with a stranger, remembering your dreams, cherry red, late night showers, desserts at midnight

saturday: watering plants, childhood cartoons, a bowl of cereal, meeting someone new, waking up early and laying in bed, spontaneous plans, sitting on a rooftop
