Lately Lori has been putting me up on top of the refrigerator and forgetting to bring me down when she leaves for work.
____________________________________________________________________________________
It’s better than being in the freezer, I guess, except that once I’m up here, I’m stuck up here.
____________________________________________________________________________________
This one time I tried to climb down
____________________________________________________________________________________
But I fell
____________________________________________________________________________________
I’ve fallen down lots of times, but that time really hurt. That’s why I don’t climb down anymore.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Fortunately this is where Lori keeps her whiskey, so I never get lonely.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Hey, look! Here comes my buddy…
____________________________________________________________________________________
At least I think he’s my buddy. I met him back in 2005, when he came up to the roof at McKibben and tried to drink some of my scotch and then got hammered and fell on the ground. I took him home shortly after that and he just never left, but that just might be because he’s lazy or liked Lori and her roommates or something. He barely ever talks to me.
He hangs out with the gold dude
____________________________________________________________________________________
And he hangs with that other wookiee who is way shorter than me
____________________________________________________________________________________
And he spends way too much time drinking wine by himself when he could be doing something cooler
____________________________________________________________________________________
And occasionally he comes and hangs out with me, but I can never understand what he’s saying, and he usually does something retarded. Here he comes now.
____________________________________________________________________________________
I wonder if he’s going to come up and hang out? That would be nice, even if I can’t really understand what he’s saying. I like scotch, but it gets lonely up here
____________________________________________________________________________________
He’s pretty good at climbing, he can probably do it
____________________________________________________________________________________
Even though I can’t understand anything he’s talking about, he’s still my buddy. Plus he can climb that chair
____________________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
Hey dude!
____________________________________________________________________________________
How’s it going?
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
He just came up here to write something. He’s probably waiting for Lori to come home so he can show it to her.
____________________________________________________________________________________
That’s why they’re friends, I guess, because they both know how to read English. I can read Wookiee and about ten other languages native to my galaxy, but English is way too confusing and illogical
____________________________________________________________________________________
If you’re not a native speaker it’s way too easy to misassign meanings to statements that mean something else, etc. I’ve done that way too many times, it's because the language makes no sense
____________________________________________________________________________________
If he brought that pen up here I could show him how to write Wookiee
____________________________________________________________________________________
When I lived on Kashyyk we used to write letters on tree bark, and pass them around. When we all got them we would do a Wookiee cry and then dance. I wish I could climb down from the refrigerator
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
I don’t know why he’s showing it to me, he knows I can’t read it. He knows that Lori always has to translate my blogs for me when I post them online. If he was really my buddy he would be more sensitive about that
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
Dude, I can’t read it.
____________________________________________________________________________________
What, are you showing off? I can’t read it, showoff.
____________________________________________________________________________________
He never responds to anything I tell him.
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
Oh look, he’s got cookies. I would eat that! Maybe he’ll bring it up to me
____________________________________________________________________________________
Bring one up to me! You can climb. I’m hungry, but I’m scared of falling off the refrigerator
____________________________________________________________________________________
Fine dude, eat the cookies by yourself, see if I care
____________________________________________________________________________________
I don’t want cookies anyways. I only eat organic. Kidding
____________________________________________________________________________________
Oh look, he’s got wine. Holy shit, I would love a glass of wine. Bring me a glass of wine!
____________________________________________________________________________________
Or not. I guess he’s too small to carry it. If he really wanted to hang out with me, he’d figure it out
____________________________________________________________________________________
I only hang out with people that are big enough to pour me kegstands anyways. I don’t need a friend who is that short. If he was really my friend he’d figure out a way to talk to me
____________________________________________________________________________________
He’d also figure out a way to not show off the fact that he has wine and I don’t
____________________________________________________________________________________
On my planet everyone could speak Wookiee and it’s a much more sensible language.
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________II guess he's just a drunk
____________________________________________________________________________________
The last time we hung out, I bought him shots and explained how to disassemble a droid, and he passed out.
____________________________________________________________________________________
I know you can read and you’re smart, dude, but you can’t even figure out how to talk Wookiee
____________________________________________________________________________________
wtf is he doing now
____________________________________________________________________________________
Oh, he’s trying to draw something. Way to go! I could help you draw it if you came up here. I'm tall enough to hold a pen
____________________________________________________________________________________
…are you trying to play tic-tac-toe?
____________________________________________________________________________________
You can’t play tic-tac-toe by yourself, idiot
____________________________________________________________________________________
Maybe he doesn't want to hang out...
____________________________________________________________________________________
…He wants to read.
____________________________________________________________________________________
If you’re smart enough to read, you’re smart enough to learn how to speak Wookiee. You should learn how to speak Wookiee, so we can have a conversation and I can teach you how to reassemble droids.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Pay attention!
____________________________________________________________________________________
Oh look, here comes his friend who’s not even tall enough to hold a shot glass. Living here is like living in a circus.
____________________________________________________________________________________
I don’t miss getting shot at by imperial forces, but I miss the level of depth that Han and I used to have when we were flying into galaxies. Han didn’t speak Wookiee, but he got what I was talking about. Lori gets what I’m talking about, but she tends to fly off into alter egos, which makes her difficult to communicate with
____________________________________________________________________________________
If people learned how to speak Wookiee I could explain to them the forestry of Endor and the first death of Palpatine. I know tons of shit about the universe. This is why I am awesome
____________________________________________________________________________________
I am awesome because I take care of my friends when they drink Jameson at 9 a.m. and get so wasted that they fall down. I am awesome because I take them home and let them live with me. I am awesome because I speak ten languages that no one else knows and I am awesome because I understand galaxies. I can learn anything including English if I felt like it, because I am a goddamned genius
_____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
I am awesome because I am the nicest Wookiee in the universe. I am awesome because I understand all the important things about the meaning of the universe that no one understands who has not fought the Death Star, and if anyone got how awesome I was they would bring me wine and cookies
____________________________________________________________________________________
Go for that wine glass. Careful you don’t fall in
____________________________________________________________________________________
Back when I lived on Kashyyk, we used to play chess at night and discuss the Great Hyperspace War
____________________________________________________________________________________
Back when I lived on Kashyyk, people had pressing enough things to worry about that they didn’t do silly things
____________________________________________________________________________________
At least Lori left her iTunes on so I can listen to Roxy Music.
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
Even if it’s lonely, up here I have lucidity
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
Up here, I have time to think. And I have a bottle of scotch. Chewy always rocks on
