Yes, I am packing everything I own 2 weeks before I need to leave. This is not only so I can be prepared, but also so I can go through everything I own. I need to do this for obvious reasons, but most importantly, to take inventory of all the things I own that will pass in Hipsterland, USA. Here are the things I have found in my possession that could prove to save me in a pinch:

-Plaid Fedora

-Gotye’s Album “Making Mirrors”

-Owl Necklace

-Rice Notebook paper

-Leggings

-Organic Chai Vanilla Body Lotion

-A Bag of Yarn

-A Copy of The Omnivore’s Dilemma

-A Beret

Just for organizations’ sake, here are the things I KNOW will not pass as “cool” or “ironic”:

-Hundreds of Tiny Plastic Dinosaurs

-Jager Shirts

-Dinosaur Lamp

-Basketball Shorts

-Dinosaur Slippers

-Horse-Racing Memorabilia of Any Kind

-Dinosaur Onesie

I guess you could say most of my anxiety is dinosaur-related.

T-MINUS 2 WEEKS.
