So why flip flops and robots?

Flip Flops:

Well friends, there was a time when my favorite thing to wear to school was a sweatshirt, pajama pants, and flip-flops AKA chanclas. This was in ninth grade before I found out that it's not okay to go to school everyday looking like you're ready for a slumber party emergency. I eventually grew out of that tragic outfit but the chanclas stayed. And whereas before my pajama pants would kind of flow and flare, obscuring my feet, my size 10 flip flops jutted out of the ends of my skinny jeans like clown shoes and made a shloop-shloop sound when I walked down the hall. My friends thought this was hilarious, rightly so, and told me I had indian peasant feet, HEB feet, and pulga feet. But it was totally worth it because I loved my chanclas. They were comfy and durable and let my toes hang free in the air, unconfined by the dark spaces of real people shoes.

When I left home to go to college, I realized that these too had to be left behind with the awkwardness that was high school Anjali. And then I discovered the glory that is boots my freshman year and there was really no going back. But I will always remember my chanclas fondly and I still wear flip flops as often as I can in the summer months. sighhhhhh

Robots:

Because they are awesome.
