synaesthesia

made a cup of strong coffee and poured it in my sumo wrestler tea mug. en route to school: drove to mcdownalds: purchased a one dollar sausage biscuit. asked the woman at the register for creamer. she was genuinely taken aback: didn't buy coffee, is asking for creamer. what's going on. i may have ruined her day.

absent-mindedly carried the mug with me into class. after the fact, i felt it separated me further from my Majority Middle American Classmates of Varying Ethnic Backgrounds. who drink their coffee from paper cups. and Me, who would normally be drinking from a paper cup. look at us, we come from all parts of the world and due to cultural osmosis (/depletion) the American/rush-rush environment assimilates us into one being that drinks from an endless paper cup. this is not a criticism.

in class: synaesthesia is when people cross their senses: see music, taste what they touch. i want to invent a drug that induces temporary synaesthesia. then i could be drinking coffee and secretly listening to music, not thinking about paper cups and stuff.
