Today, I was face painting at a carnival for my little brothers elementary school. All of the girls had been asking for butterflies, hearts, flowers etc. One girl walked up and as I began naming off some choices such as the generic hearts and flowers she cut me off and simply said, “A blue moustache please.” Coolest kid ever.

My Life is Average is a fun site that allows users to submit little anecdotes from their day to day lives. It ends up (from what i’ve observed) being a celebration of little sparks of originality and humour in the banal. I approve.

Another aspect of it I admire is the sort of eerie warmth you get from reading these anonymous entries, connecting with the faceless authors.
