give me a home where the buffalo roam

Home on the range. I just finished watching the latest trailer for The Dark Knight again. This time around I noticed the shot of Aaron Eckhart as Two-Face.

There are two Desiree Thrashes.

There is the Desiree Thrash who uses a metro pass to ride the subway for fun. A Desiree Thrash who is a “label whore”; who dreams of the day she will be able to afford to put a $500 charm on a $6000 piece of luggage. A Desiree who makes snarky comments about that addition to the ROM, and knows that it takes 55 minutes to get from Ossignton Station to York University. A Desiree who needs 4 strapless bras to get through the week, and has calluses where her pumps rub. This is the Desiree who worries that people judge her based on the state of her manicure, and buys 80 calorie skim milk over 90 calorie skim milk. She’s the Desiree who could watch the CN Tower from her patio for hours, and dreams of dating the guy in the band…

Then there is the Desiree Thrash who is sitting perched on a fence made from logs, watching her father mowing a field with his John Deer tractor. She wears her mother’s tube socks, and a pair of Daisy Duke’s. A Desiree that knows that $5 for a bale of hay is a lot, and recognizes a Fox snake when she sees one. This is the Desiree that had Olympic dreams, and a leopard-print saddle pad. She knows that getting hay in your bra is one of the most uncomfortable experiences in the world. She is the Desiree Thrash who used to ride her horse over jumps sitting backwards in the saddle. A Desiree who used to get right back up after she fell…

Desiree Thrash x2

If I were a TTC subway stop I would be … Bay Station.
