My entire childhood my mom worked at General Electric. They used this paper. Mint green & white ½ to ¾ alternating stripes. Old-School Computer Paper.

To stop the clash of the titans redux over me drawing on their walls or all over mah belly(again, taking the whooping with just as much pride as them marveling over how I’d even reached around so expertly to cough* where’s I technically couldn’t even…nother post lol) …I was presented with box upon box of reams of computer paper like the Wise Men presented frankincense and myrrh to lil baby jesus(long before I knew him lol).

Black ink marched stoically across the striped side but the back was smooth, pristine, glorious white. It was fed into the computers via lil teeth that pierced the holes.

Long before recycling was a thing, all of General Electric’s executive floor, bosses of bosses, knew the printed piles were mines due to my taking over empty desks to draw on it whenever we came into the office, sucked into another world.

I gave the paper a life after their numbers & it was badass of me to do so😁.

I never watched this movie…so I haven’t seen this paper in like 38 and ⅞ years until just now.

Am I weird enough…to have been hedging bets in heaven prior to portaling in, all “but the paper access~🤷🏾‍♀️🙆🏾‍♀️” as a pertinent factor?

Hell yeah. Absoltiveleh. The decadence of it sings in my bones even now.

My kink du papier was totally grandfathered into this life via this, birthed from the bellies of room sized computers until middle school lol. Gotta admit, kooky laidback thisisscifi as F, ain’t it?

It makes me chuckle because the amount of money my parents saved on keeping me in paper was mostly re-appropriated into dollhouses but still it was exorbitant either way.

I’ve been helming “give that kid sumthin to draw on other than herself & walls ” quite nicely, if I Do say so myself lol.

Because I Know how much paper I’ve gone through, I absently have the equivalencies alive within every breath. It’s literally in the metric tonnes arena lol. & that’s alongside sketchbooks & everything else it has turned me on to draw on.

I’ll give them that. Definitely. The motherfuckers Kept me in papel. Lol.
