lizzie's guide to living on your own

STEP TWO:

when walking to your apartment after dark because you were forced to park 15 blocks away* due to all the spots on your street being taken by everyone in LA with an average of 7 cars per person**, always carry your keys in the manner i like to call "the wolverine" or "the esther" (named for my cat with especially sharp claws shaped like tiny hooks), just like this, with your keys pointing outward:
it's a convenient self-defense mechanism in case you might need to slash someone's face.
BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY Y'ALL.
+++bonus time-saver! carrying your keys in this beneficial manner also prevents you from losing them in the depths of your purse~~

.............................................

tomorrow i'm driving to ventura to see steel train, and i'm going to get there 3.5 hours early but i don't even care because i'll probably just sit outside and finish reading the stranger aka l'etranger and become a philosophical genius, and then during the show i'll stand in the front row and spend the entire time singing and dancing, regardless of whether or not i still have a horrible debilitating cold.
maybe they'll even play touch me bad and maybe THIS will happen again>>>>>>>

*actual distance is 2 blocks
**actual statistic is 1.8 cars per person

  1. I am quite familiar with "the Wolverine" and use the defense mechanism frequently. Also, The Stranger is my favorite book that was assigned in school (and only one I ever read completely)!
