when mild depression pays off

mom: so i guess after we get back from Hawaii we'll have to start looking for a puppy
me: wait, you're not gonna fight with me about having it in this apartment anymore?
mom: nah, i think you need to have one. but it has to be one i like too in case she [my bitchy landlord] makes you get rid of it. does that cheer you up?
me: yeah!

puppy!

p.s. i just turned project runway on....and the designs this week, have to be inspired by puppies....each person gets one, and has to make a dress inspired by their puppy and a matching outfit for the dog...haha.
