Characters everywhere.

Everyone around you is a potential muse or potential character base. This post is mainly for myself, but enjoy it none the less.

While on the surface, tonight’s future memory may seem mundane, but I will remember the fun we had as if it were a life or death situation action movie and not the more realistic  future of intestinal gas.

Tonight, under the secret guise of a trip to the drug store,  I took a friend who is allergic to milk, gluten AND soy  just so they could get a taste of delectable junk food all while the significant other who would have chided them, was unaware. You must understand, that with those dietary restrictions, even a piece of bread will be viewed with the same hungry eyes as a slice of the best NY style cheesecake served at the top of the Empire State Building (they do that, right?)

We schemed, we lied, and then we drove to McDonalds.

Do I feel guilty being a part of this gastronomical adventure? Partially. But it was a bonding moment with someone who will undoubtedly end up as a character in one of my projects.

And as we finally arrived home, several chicken nuggets remained uneaten in the box, so to avoid detection, he dumped the remaining three nuggets into his jacket pocket  for later consumption while tossing the box into the dumpster. I hope the dog doesn’t catch on to his treasure, that could get ugly.

Just call me Bond, Junk Food Bond.
