theZEBRA Lick Those Stripes! I Be Gallopin' After Ye The Herd Zebra Poo Black Stripes, White Stripes Songs of the Plains
Family Court One would be in less danger From the wiles of a stranger If one's own kin and kith Were more fun to be with. Ogden Nash | The SRA Tuesday. 6.13.06 6:35 pm Moving away from home was supposed to change everything. No longer would I be a kid living with her parents, whose credit card bills and shopping trips were paid for by her dad, who never had to worry over trivial things like meals or laundry. Once I left home, I would become a self-sufficient, responsible adult (SRA), who would hang out with other SRAs. And of course, we’d do SRA-ey things. And has that happened? Of course I’ve become a SRA! Granted, I still live off money my parents send me monthly. And yes, I did go the first 3 weeks without doing laundry because I didn’t know how to use the washing machine. But all that doesn’t count. Just like the fact that I still can’t cook doesn’t count because there are restaurants which cater to the tastes of a SRA just across the road (e.g. KFC, and the chicken rice store). Because by god, if there’s anything that transforms a kid into a SRA, it’s cleaning the toilet! I’ve had to do that twice now (cursed duty roster), so I’ve obviously crossed that line. But I've found that while it’s one thing to think of yourself as a SRA, it’s quite another to get other people to think the same. Ever since the flaming pan incident, my housemate cannot watch me ‘cooking’ (I use this term very loosely) without smirking and making snide comments. My neighbour teases me mercilessly every time I ask for help with fitting the duvet cover (this still beats struggling and flailing with it for hours though). The same neighbour won’t let me dance with guys he considers to be “cunts”. I’ve been tossed into sand pits, and had a couple of close calls with dustbins. I’ve been tossed over shoulders too many times to count and had to beg to be let down. And I’ve been asked for ID. Yes, people still think that I’m a kid! Sometimes this gets me so mad, I throw a tantrum right there and then. But I think I know why now. It’s my duvet covers. I brought them from home because I didn’t want the bother of shopping for bedlinen. But I’m beginning to regret that now as they’re not exactly the sort one would typically find in the bedroom of a SRA. It’s lucky my dad just sent me money. I need SRA covers. Categories: Growing Up (Not Old) [t] 21 Comments. With regards to duvet covers... Mine are pink with little lipsticks and jeans and girl all over it. It screams 'KID!!' » Alynna (130.102.0.176) on 2006-06-13 06:05:19 My bed sheets had cartoon animals of all sorts. Luckily the duvet covers were provided everywhere I went, so for 3 years, nobody saw my bed sheets. » vincent (60.50.249.44) on 2006-06-13 06:23:33 awww...how adorable. i had bedsheets with garfield on it when i was younger. but i have SRA covers now. heheheheheh » Qian (60.48.113.43) on 2006-06-13 09:20:14 I had white bedsheets all my life, I feel so deprived.
