A towel and a star will open doors, I tell you.
It’s pretty daunting looking at a blank page. And especially a blank blogger post. I mean, I’d decided to start back writing about whatever random crap has decided to fuck up my day on any given day - but I made the mistake of going back to the start and seeing what Old Young Me had to say.
What I found was that Old Young Me was pretty damn smart and quick-witted. I’m willing to bet that she was also about 20% more attractive than me, and that whatever boobiage she had was about 40% perkier. Mine kind of just look sad these days, dipping downward so as to reflect a generally more sadder, more realistic outlook on life. By now I, for example, know that:-
Or at least every other day. As soon as next year, even - it's the long term investments that pay off, right?
Fuck it, gold stars aren't that bad when you think about it. When I was young, getting a gold star sticker in your book meant that you were somebody. So that must count for something. I could totally be somebody special again.
Totally.

- Whereas Old Young Me wanted to look my best for Andreas, Old Regular Me settles for getting dressed in the morning.
- Whereas Old Young Me would consider looking all super-fine in goth-garb and broody to the ultra-max, Old Regular Me thinks a sunny disposition and a towel is fine.
- Whereas Old Young (foolish) Me would have only used a towel to dry herself, Old Regular Me thinks that a towel is useful for both drying oneself AND as a wrap, a turban, a way to hitchhike your way through the galaxy, and as something that is quite handy in that it has a whole four corners for cleaning one's ears and, at times, random cat throw-up.
- You can get the best, cheapest multi-purpose towels at Swedish superstore 'Överskottsbolaget'.
- Överskottsbolaget does not appreciate it when you walk in in a towel. Even if its with their logo. Especially if it's with their logo.
- And you know what, I don't really think that you have the right to be uppity when you sell products called "canned Entray Côte" or "Sneekers Bars".
