Encouragement

Devon: well, if it makes you feel better...
i counted your tweets this morning and you had tweeted 41 times in the last 24 hours
lets say an average of 100 characters a tweet
4100 characters
maybe average out 6 letters per word
you tweeted nearly 700 words yesterday
without even trying!

me: HAHAHAHAHA
that's heartening and sad at the same time

Devon: WHY SO SAD

me: BECAUSE I CAN'T WRITE A NOVEL ABOUT ZOOBOOKS
(or my obsession about zoobooks)

Devon: sure, but you can work in zoobooks
btw, i had a SHITLOAD of zoobooks

me: ME TOO
apparently loving Zoobooks was not that strange
noel had them too

Devon: i think a lot of people like us and our age had them

me: i think a foundation of zoobooks turned us into this
hahha

Devon: hahaha i can believe that
zoobooks x carebears / froot loops = us

me: hahahahahahaha
basic interest in science x socialist liberalism / toxic chemicals = us
absolutely

Devon: hahahahahahahahaha
holy shit

me: i am 100% on board with that assessment

Devon: that is such an accurate representation of our generation

me: hahahaha i think so too
you had it more since you were a Montessori baby
i went to WASPy preschools

Devon: the fact that we turned out similar just strenghtens your equation, though

me: hahaha yeah that's true
a zoobook is a zoobook, no matter where you read it
