Can You Smell That Glue?

Well everyone welcome to the new year... yes, yes the new school year has finally arrived in a blaze of heat, paper, and Elmer's glue. If there is one time of year that tree's dread it has to be the pre-school shopping time of year. I mean let's face it how many times a year can you buy 300 crayons, 8000 pieces of paper, 250 markers, 15 bottles of glue, and a partridge in a pear tree for $3.99 at you nearest Walmart? Where are the Earth Day people now is my question... If I was a good person I would be protesting but as it is I am buying my own stuff.
And as this is my first year of college I have decided to splurge and buy real school supplies. As a child my parent's bought my sisters and I the 10 for a dollar solid color notebooks and markers and the plain jane( speaking of which do people named Jane ever get offend by this?) pencils... you know the kind that come in a box of 285 and the erasers fall out the first day of school kind of stuff. But this year man I am going all out. I am going to buy the notebooks with the picures of Orlando Bloom and cool phrases like " Dude give me your tots" on them. ( Note from editor: The Napolian quotes must die if we are going to remain sane people.) The only thing I am not spluring on is my pens. I will still by the 38 cent pens because i tend to eat them when I get bored, tired, anxious, nervous, happy, sad, emotional, unemotional, ect,ect, ect... and I don't feel like eating money so cheapo pens it will be.
Now I suppose y'all are wondering what in hell this has to do with anything and the truth is this post has no value what so ever. However I am a declared nerd and buying school supplies is the highlight of my academic year so be on the lookout for an inventoried list of all my school supplies. Aren't you excited?
