Leah gave me this awesome cup, and to be honest, loooking back at my blogs so far this year, Im amazed I havetn already mentioned it.
Its called a Wake-Up Cup. Supposed to look tired when its empty, and then when it gets the delicious warmth of a hot beverage (or water I guess), its eyes light up in amazement, and its super awake! (Most believeable with strong coffee I guess)
Except I dont see it that way. I think its an incredibly sad cup, that cheers up when it gets a hot drink in it.
The thing is, I keep this cup on my desk at work. Right beside me. And it constantly makes me feel guilty for not having a hot drink in it. I mean can you seriously imagine looking away from the computer, to see such a sad pair of eyes listfully looking back at you, almost willing you to either fill it with water, or end its misry completely.
If cups had feelings, I’m confident this one would be clinically depressed.
In fact it reminds me a lot of ‘Marvin, the Paranoid Android’ from the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy. Always sad. Always looking miserable. And only marginally better when something good happens.
Im just glad it cant talk. “Oh fill me up again, im feeling so depressed today”….
But I do love it. Best cup Ive ever had. It should feel proud. Happy that it brings me so much happiness.
Instead, it sits sadly on my desk, waiting for the next round of hot water to make it light up just a little, and feel a little brighter for a short time.
