Like it or Not, I Come With a Purse

Two conversations and a quote:

Me: Did you hear about my new purse? I take it everywhere ya know.
So and so: (sighs heavily) Please don't call it that. It's a satchel.
Me: Purse.
So and so: (upset) Satchel, messenger bag, man bag...
Me: Purse.
So and so: (sighing yet again) Michael. It's. Not. A. Purse.
Me: (throwing hands up) Fine! It's a satchel.
So and so: (satisfied) Thank you. Well moving on-
Me: (interupting, smiling, generally excited to have fooled so and so) And by satchel I mean purse.
So and so: (realizing the futility of it all) Oh my god.

Me: You got a motorcycle??!! Fabulous. Let's go ride.
JP: Alright. You can go first.
Me: Awesome man! I am really jealous. Let's go!
JP: Are you ready right now?
Me: Yeah, but let me find my purse.
Corrie: How can you go from motorcycle riding to purse wearing in less than 5 seconds? What is wrong with you?
Matt: (silence. has covered face with hands and is generally embarassed to be my friend)

What Cat said last night (bottom line)

From now on, you want Michael, he comes with a purse.

ok, I've been a random reader of your blog for several months now. I decided to 'out' myself after the purse post. I recently moved to Japan from Texas and one of the first things I noticed here is that ALL the guys carry purses. Some couples even have matching purses--isn't that cute? These guys are serious about their purses too. They have designer labels, probably spending well over $100 for some of their purses. So, if you're having trouble fitting in being in Texas with a purse, you can move to Japan and fit right in.
