Swedish Ideas Come From Ikea
One thing about being a writing type person is that people are always asking me where I get my ideas.
Like I’ll go “You looked like you wanted help getting the milk back in your nose.” or something and they go “What the hell gave you that idea?”
Or like the other day I was in Subway right? And this lady asked me what gave me the idea that I could just cut in front of her. It’s a natural question but when you’re a writer you get tired of hearing it because it’s like there isn’t one answer. Ideas can come from anywhere! “The muse is a mysterious thing” as my friend Paris would say.
Or to borrow another of her favorite sayings “Please stop eating the frosting off my cupcakes and then putting them back in the fridge”. But I say if she can spray a bunch of bark and twigs stuff with gold and call it art I think I can eat a little bit of frosting and call it lunch you know? Creativity takes all kinds of forms.
In conclusion, her cupcakes aren’t that good but the frosting is okay.

Supposed to be “like” the other day?

Sorry I guess I had Ikea on my mind because I was thinking about Uma Thurman and my ideas were Swedish.

Wow, that’s spot on! People are always asking “Why the hell did you do that?” and yesterday when my friend read my “Romeo Minus Juliet” story, he was like “Where on blah blah blah blah’s earth did you blah blah blah get this idea?” And I just give him a “Duh” look, because of course, I get my ideas at the cornerstore behind the double fudge icecreams at the back of the fridge and behind those “Men Are From Venus, Blah Blah Blah, Women Come From Saturn Blah” books about the ten planets of the solar system that no one ever reads. Where else would I get my matchbrilliant ideas? But he lives downtown, so I’ll only give him a warning that if he asks again I really will take him off my top 5.
