Ignorant tourist: "Well, what did she do?"
Smart, beautiful, charming tour guide: "I'm sorry. What do you mean?"
Tourist: "Why three museums?"
Guide: "Pearl was the first American woman to win both the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize."
Tourist: "Yeah, but I mean, what did she do? Is that all? She just won some awards and that's how she got famous?"
Guide: *to herself* Yes you moron! She won the freaking Pulitzer and Nobel Prizes. That's a big freaking deal, you ignorant moron! I don't see you with any awards for anything you've written! Try and win the freaking Nobel Prize. Come on, do it! Let's see how that goes. *to tourist* "Well she also did a lot of humanitarian work, such as starting the first international, interracial adoption agency, as well as raising funds for Asian women who bore the children of American servicemen."
Tourist: "Oh, well, I guess that's important."
Like I said, some people are sent into our lives to just piss us off.
In other news, I've been offered a real life, honest to goodness, adult job! Okay, not really. It's only AmeriCorps, so it's not a real adult job, but a job nonetheless! It's a way of putting off the real world for a while, til next August to be exact. Sure I could make more money being a substitute bus driver for the county school system or cleaning toilets at a hotel part time, but I think it's worth it. It's another museum job and that's what I want to do. I didn't have any idea that I would be applying to AmeriCorps, or that I would want to stay in West Virginia, but this position is exactly what I want to be doing right now. I have yet to formally accept the position. I need to talk with my current boss to figure out when I can leave Pearl Buck and move to Lewisburg, but it will be sometime in late September, early October. Speaking of Lewisburg, did you know...

That's right. I'm gonna be living in America's coolest small town.
