Lackoparcelphobia

Lackoparcelphobia

I have lackoparcelphobia. Its an actual legitimate condition; a fear of going long periods of time without receiving a UPS delivery.


Coincidentally, while researching this 100% true, not-at-all-made-up phobia, I also discovered the names of my other two phobias. Frigophobia; being afraid of the cold. And ergophobia; the fear of the workplace environement and office furniture. Namely, filing cabinets. So this is why I must stay in a warm climate and away from offices or workplace environments where my phobia could be triggered and I could seize up and die.

Anyways, UPS.

Did you know that UPS is the largest package delivery company in the entire world and they ship over 15 million packages a day? Which isn't particularly interesting. What is interesting, however, is that the UPS ads that they've made feature a man in a lady wig. It's true. And i've always had a thing for guys with long hair so if the man in the lady wig ever shows up at my doorstep, I won't hesitate for a second before letting him whisk me off into the sunset is his dependable brown van. Yep. I would marry the UPS guy. I mean, we're basically already BFF... he visits our house so often that I can recognize the sound of his truck coming from blocks away. Of course I always play it off, casually sauntering over to the door all, 'Oh is it for me? Who could it be?' But were totally MFOE. He knows it and I know it.

Last fall I dropped a lens worth more than my firstborn (which I don't have but if I did and I dropped it I could probably get it fixed for a LOT less than it cost me to fix my lens). As I watched it smash and break into a million little pieces I realized this was the last of several things that The Universe has directed my way to say, "dude (yes, The Universe calls me "dude") you gotta be more careful! Be aware, Take care, yo! You don't have to store your equipment in a army grade aluminum case, but you definitely need to invest in a camera bag". So I found this fabulous new mini bag, small and lightweight enough to carryon when I go traveling to Paris and New York and places like such as; also perfect for shoots. I found it on Etsy from a sweet shop called Xcessrise.

Also exciting; my Moo MiniCards finally came. They're custom designed by Sarah Green and I'm pretty sure she created every pattern specially with me in mind. Pretty sure. They're so me; so mod slash metro. Modtro. I aspire to one day wallpaper every room in my house (approximately 35 or 40 rooms... because i'll be living in a castle...duh!) using every one of these rad patterns. So yeah, they're awesome and I love them with all my heart. Go here if you want some.
