keepsakes
anyone who's ever been extensively decorated with awards in high school will know how important those medals are when they reach college. in college, you're leveled to the ground. your day of fame doesn't come until the end of four years, during graduation when you get to wear a gold sleeve or tasselled ropes to show you've a high GPA than the rest.
so when i broke my sister's academic decathlon cystal mug tonight, my plans for waking up early to run errands have crumbled to dust. i dun wanna confront her. coz i broke it.
it's irritating coz i'm known for that - accidents - and she insists on placing that mug on top of our water dispenser jug - we have one of those ridiculous office water coolers in the house. it is pretty convenient, but the only reason i can deduce why my sister insists on placing that heavy decathlon lager mug of hers on top of the cooler is so everyone can see her high school trophy. she refuses to display all her medals. she refuses to keep her academic notes. she ruthlessly tosses her old notebooks and anything that looks like junkmail. she rarely buys and keeps anything that you can't eat. we all think it's weird.
so when what i think is her one trophy is shattered to bits, i have no clue how to break the news to her tomorrow.
it's me, i didn't know the jug cooler thingy was empty, so when i tapped it, it tipped over, and i was trying save her mug along with my glass, and i knew i should have let the plastic jug tip all it wants. but i guess i just hit the two glasses too hard, and her mug, a 1997 freebie from the chicago tribune, shattered.
i know she feels strongly about her mug coz she's already expressed concern about it some time ago when it was chipped for the first time. i've never seen her look so concerned about anything before, and it confirmed that like everyone else, she feels strongly about inaminate objects as well. and it was merely chipped! what now that it's totally gone?
arg. and she's one of those types who carried around a smelly pillow too, when she was little. the mug's taken the pillow's place in her life. i'm so annoyed!!!
she's also placed that mug high up in our mother's china cabinet, that place where none shall touch ever. and then she took it down to use it. i only hope, like one of her pillows that we took away coz it was just wrong to still keep it after turning brown, she just takes out her D&B mug, another rare souvenier from a rare night out with friends, and use that instead. or i can offer her one of my own mugs from one of my other trips. ...
i need to make her laugh, so imma put the skull mug we all shared a rum punch from in las vegas just last christmas atop that stupid water cooler. the girl needs a break coz she's downright unhappy being a nursing student. i'm dead anyways. i hope she gets the joke.
