A Moving Post



This is the bottom of my sock drawer (after all socks have been removed). There's movie stubs, penny wrappers, two tubes of toothpaste, a tub of catnip (from the wendyknits mouse-a-thon), an Oral B brushup, a tube of eyeliner I got at walmart that doesn't match my skin tone at all, a keychain and a small ball of yarn from my lucky sweater. And a couple of loose socks.

Speaking of socks:


These are all the lone socks that I had in my sock drawer. There are 7 in total (the 7th is cut off on the right)

So, that center red, white & pink sock? I went to the house of this guy I was seeing wearing that pair of socks (one of my favorite pairs). Things... progressed. I had to go home and as I was redressing I found myself missing a sock. We both looked and found ourselves unable to find it. I went home with one sock and his assurances that he'd find it when he did laundry.

Despite my occasional reminders, after I dumped his sorry behind, I still never got that sock back. I left my toothbrush there, too.

I like to think of him finding that other sock and later, clutching it to his chest and weeping.
