Hahhahha!! This post made me laugh so hard :) thank you, I needed that. Wonderful insights. These are the kinds of things that are constantly in my head but rarely make it out.

I have ALWAYS wondered that about those elementary school kids too!! Story time: in high school I was stabbed in the arm by a stupid kid running down the hall with a sharpened pencil. Literally the ONE thing you learn not to do in first grade. I suspect he's also one of the "loose paper kids".

Seriously, WHO knows how to properly use cling wrap. It's the devil. I promise you're not missing anything with instant coffee. However, overseas apparently they've made some strides, especially in areas where fresh roasted coffee is hard/too expensive to come by regularly.

Re: ocean sponges, it's going to be deeper very, very soon. When ice caps melt and when sponges die because their death will indicated increased ocean acidity due to CO2, which will further death of vital sea life that depend on coral ecosystems, and continue the positive feedback loop of global climate change :( Environmental Scientist here waving.

Anyways, down to brass tacks in case it matters, I'm 28 y.o. on the East Coast. Single. Short/petite, blonde hair, blue eyes, winning personality ;)

Hope to hear back from you!
