For sh*ts and giggles!

Hello friends!

Well, I promised you laughs so here's a story from The Vulgar Vegan's past that is guaranteed to make you giggle! Let’s have a cupcake and cup of coffee together.

Years ago, Brian got a job in Florida. Since his employer was paying for the move, he took almost all of my things with him while I stayed behind for a couple of weeks to enjoy my freedom. Basically, I was left in an almost empty apartment with just a small TV, an air mattress and a vacuum cleaner. Oh, and clothes because bare necessities.

Brian called me late one night to talk. Did I mention that I have an overactive imagination yet??

So I kind of thought I heard someone breaking into my sad, bare apartment to do me harm (obviously - prime target waiting with no weapons!!) and nervously whispered that into the phone. Before I accidentally hung up.

Yep. I accidentally hung up the phone, which made Brian think I was surely being cut up into pieces by some murderous fiend. I should also mention that this was before cellphones were really a thing so there was no quick way to confirm "OMG! ARE YOU STILL ALIVE??"

When Brian tried to call me back, I just happened to be trying to call him back at that exact same moment to let him know that - false alarm - it was just the neighbor across the hall coming home, ha ha. Brian got a busy signal. For like five minutes as we played phone tag trying to reach the other person. The story goes that he ripped his glasses off his face in a panic and broke them. Which to this day is somehow my fault??

And while I saw the humor in the situation when I realized I was NOT destined to be killed in that dark, lonely apartment, Brian failed to see how it was funny. What a party pooper! 💩

I bet Brian wished he could have binged on some vegan cupcakes in that moment to soothe his nerves. Maybe I'll create a new cupcake in tribute to that story. It's a legend.

Until next time!

XoXo,
Valerie
