maybe you're the problem you don't want to see in the world

Wait a minute. Something's crooked. Here, let me adjust that.

Ah. That's better.

I thought I would make the photos look all vintage camping-ey. Because that is a sort of photo, yeah? Vintage Camping, uh, -ey? Well, I looked like I was out camping in these photos. So I went with it. Not that I would wear this camping. But speaking of camping, you are all going to see what I WOULD wear camping when I go this summer. YEA CAMPING! Seriously, I am THAT excited.

We are going with some good friends and their childlings. And it is going to ROCK. Truly, I am beyond excited. I love camping. Campfires, swimming, starlight, good friends, good wine...so excited. Really, excited. I mean it. Excited (x4 apparently)

Also, about the crookedness. Well, my top was crooked (see me adjusting?); and also I made the photo crooked (for kicks, because I can, because heck why not). But there is also a hidden double meaning which I am about to reveal to you all. So hold on, this IS exciting.

Here it is:!

When we were in our new house for about a week I noticed that the bookshelf was crooked. It annoyed me. So I got my husband to take the level to it. The level does not lie folks; this I know. But I swear our level must be a rogue lying dirty no good level; because it stated NO, emphatically NO the bookshelf is NOT crooked.

So what was a girl to think? That the level was indeed wrong? I mean, a new level must be procured immediately in that case! After all, we are in the middle of renovations! For want of a level level the house fell over--as the saying goes. Only, the smart part of me (the part that tried desperately to ignore the crooked bookshelf) knew that this could not be true. Levels are just little air bubbles in water. They can't be broken.

So I did what any self-respecting person would do when faced with an impossible conundrum, I shut it out of my mind and went on with my life.

Now yesterday when I put on my new glasses one of the first things I noticed was that our bookshelf was no longer crooked. HUH. You should know that what my new perscription has, that my old did not have, is a correction for an astygmatism that I did not know I had. I'm not an optomatrist, nor do I know anything about optomatry, but I'll wager a guess that it was the astigmatism that made the bookshelf look crooked.

This has left me to wonder:

1. The reason why I never even considered that the problem could be ME and not the bookshelf (besides my basic rampant narcissism, of course).

and what's far worse:

2. How many perfectly not crooked paintings have I been straightening all these years? -!!
