"The Joys of Walking" Stamps
In the post office today, I witnessed "The Joys of Walking" stamps being offered to a legless man. No, just kidding. The customer was me, and the stamps were "Love" stamps. But the analogy is so perfect. Or maybe it should be "The Joys of Vision" stamps being offered to a blind person. Or "Jazz" stamps for a deaf person. Yeah, wow, you can make up all kinds of things.

I just stood there, staring at my 2 choices of love stamps, either big, red poofy hearts or white, swirly hearts. The lady must've seen my look o' dismay, cuz she said, "Would you like 'forever' stamps instead?" I said yes. That was nice. Now that I think of it, it's kinda interesting, cuz the picture on the Forever stamps is the Liberty Bell, the symbol of freedom. That's, seemingly, the one good thing about bein' single, y'know the freedom aspect of it. Maybe I'll find other good things about it, over the years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years of it I have yet to live.

My stupid professional organization are a bunch of loser fuckheads cuz their invitation to their dumb banquet was "Please join us and bring your significant other for an afternoon of fun" or whatever it was. That made me grumpy cuz they're assuming EVERYBODY has a significant other. That pissed me off, so I didn't go.

The love stamps could be honoring other types of love than smoochy romantic love. Like love of your parents or child or cat or dog or neighbor or enemies or teacher or grocery store clerk. Or sister or brother or co-worker or elevator-rider-cohort-person or landlord or landlady or benchmate. It could be a subtle message not to kill anyone today. But it's not a forever stamp, and aren't the forever stamps more useful, anyway? just a thought. - rebecca
