i am tapas.

some friends and i were discussing food nicknames. for instance, one is dark chocolate because she is mysterious and has dark hair, and she eats it a lot . . . it just suits her. another is bread because (she eats it a lot) and she's crusty on the outside soft on the inside, and another is babybelle cheese because she's cute and delicious etc.

we tried to decide what i was. i like all of those things, so what will i be? what's my problem huh?

we decided on tapas- a little bit of everything. doesn't that mean i'm not really anything - i thought. not really, in many cultures it's a full meal, a little bit of everything, sampler platter. versatile. i was actually pretty glad that that's what was decided, because that's what i've always thought about myself.

we were talking later. so does that mean that i have to marry tapas? no no, responded a wise comrade, you just have to find someone who likes tapas.

too true. too true. tapas it is.
