Sometimes, we're a lot alike

Like I wrote not too long ago, Amy is sometimes a lot like me. Latest instance is our choice of shirts...

Mine is a Rose Apothecary sweatshirt. Rose Apothecary is the store owned by David Rose and (spoiler alert!) his husband Patrick on the TV show Schitt's Creek, which I am a recent convert for. I watched the entire show over the past few months and I just love it so much, it brings me great joy. I decided to buy some merch to celebrate the show, knowing full well that most people won't have any clue what the shirt is about, or make the connection to the show. So it's kind of a little secret code. It would be awesome if anyone out in the world connects the dots, but if they don't, that's fine too – the shirt is for me! I suppose it's similar to the way I've always liked the things that are less popular – the lesser-known bands and singers, for example. Like they belong to you more because they belong to fewer people. 

Amy also has a shirt with a similar story. She watches a lot of YouTube Minecraft gamers, and really desperately wanted the holiday merch from one of them. The shirt arrived the other day and made her so happy! And just like my Rose Apothecary shirt, very few (if any) people will see her shirt and know what it's about, but that's okay – the shirt is for her. And if anyone does recognize it, then she's made a connection.
