A few months ago, I wrote about being someone between the person I was and the person I thought I was. And I think there was talk about a third person in there and constant change, and maybe it got a little existential. I frequently make qualifying statements about myself. I do worry sometimes that I'm making these statements out of ephemeral ideas; I might be coming to concrete conclusions based on a fleeting feeling.
Yesterday, I talked about how much I enjoy candy. "I like candy more than an adult should" I professed. Was it possible that I was just saying this about myself with not too much evidence to back it up? Would outsiders corroborate this?
I was having coffee with a friend of mine today, a friend who did not read yesterday's post, and she asked "What did you have for lunch today? A pound of M&Ms?" This is how I know I'm true to myself. I laughed and said no, I had to cut that shit back because I did have a half-pound of Reese's Pieces yesterday. She laughed knowingly. She said I have the pallet of the 4-year-old, who also happens to enjoy booze. Yes, I agree with that assessment.
Booze and Candy. It's not just for breakfast.
