The last few days have been too eventful to squeeze in
just a few paragraphs. It is especially so when you never have a boring second
just because you don’t get any down time while you live with five more girls.
At one moment I have Rapunzel dragging me off to one side to share with me her
latest epiphany and at the next, there is Belle asking for opinion about her
latest project that would satisfy a person’s altruistic needs for the next
decade. Rapunzel’s epiphany was that she realized I was right about something,
although I have no clue as to why that would strike her as surprising. Some
time ago I shared with her that often, after a night of overindulging in
alcohol, I tend to dream about finding a bottle of water, in different places,
several times per night. If you’ve ever experienced something similar to that, you’ll
know it can be some of the most
agonizingly frustrating dreams to have.

But
let’s get back on track and mention how it is even more frustrating when you
don’t get a single second of the so-called “me” time. With time you get used to
it, but fate, God, Karma, or whatever you want to cast your vote for, usually decides
to throw you a curve ball. In my case, it can be the girls from the other room
blaring chalga music so loud I can’t hear my suicidal thoughts. And it would be
really easy for me to go on and on complaining. Aurora barges in my room only
in a towel and shows off her exemplary belly dancing skills and Belle can’t
carry a tune if her next project depended on it, but she won’t stop letting her
freedom-loving voice from soaring and reaching my poor ears. It’s even better
if at the same time Tiana is singing Backstreet Boys songs in the background.
But the point here is that it is stupid for a person to just sit buried in
their complaints. A long time ago someone really wise uttered the words “If you
can’t beat them, join them.” So that is what I do, and meanwhile I am having
the time of my life shaking my booty non-rhythmically and howling the lyrics of
the latest chalga hit. Or you can you can follow, Show White’s example and …oh
sorry lost my train of thought because Tiana started singing.

Dear Eli, I love your subtle and well-developed sense of humor and they way you present living with 5 more girls, so keep on writing. Good job!
