Aaron You got any room or desire for a birdhouse?

[Deleted]

C L E O P A T R A no but yes!!! are you sure?!

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Yeah, I made it from scraps. It's nothing special, lacks amenities and indoor plumbing but it'll do for some bird somewhere.

[Deleted]

C L E O P A T R A in LA you could probably still charge $800 rent for it. thank you love you owe you! how's it feeling being old??

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Although being a scummy landlord sounds profitable, I'd rather see it go to a happy home. Each piece is like a little kid of mine. Just overnight my fingers all gnarled up and my hair turned gray. The body knows.

[Deleted]

C L E O P A T R A don't worry i'll give it the happiest. hope the birds like chappell roan, that's all we listen to here. do you have a bad back?

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Those are gonna be some mighty happy birds. I've got a couple bad parts. I can tell you the first indicators of your 30s if you're really interested. A couple things have jumped out to me.

[Deleted]

C L E O P A T R A pleaseeee, i need to know what to expect if i make it that long.

Aaron Birds become real interesting all of a sudden. It hurts to think about sleeping anywhere other than a bed, and even that’s a gamble - mysterious pains galore. You get excited for appliances. Fashion from your childhood is becoming trendy again, so everything you liked is now considered vintage.

C L E O P A T R A which bird is your favorite? i like seagulls. omggg do you have any ed hardy stuff i can borrow?

[aaron eklund]

Aaron I saw a peregrine falcon, that was pretty cool. Road runners always make me laugh. You know, I never got into that one. I think of sports jerseys, jeans always too big, overalls halfway undone. What was cool when you were in high school?

[Deleted]

C L E O P A T R A do they give looney tunes vibes in real life? overalls halfway undone is such a vibe. mom jeans, checkered slip on vans, lots of aztec prints. god that was so problematic, looking back.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron They really do. Some birds just seem like nature's sense of humor. Almost buy into that crackpot theory that they're not real. Always something we realize years later. Not like teens listen anyway. I try to learn from my kids but they make me feel old old.

[Deleted]

C L E O P A T R A see also: woodpeckers. i love when things are named that literally. ... you have kids??

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Some scientists definitely had some fun out there discovering them. What would a Cleo bird look like? Yep, over a dozen. All high schoolers, 15 to 18. Foster kids I work with, showing them some real-life skills.
