Then a friend suggested a green whisk ‘You know, because Kermit’. Then later an aunt suggested these cool Muppet dish towels she had seen on Etsy. While discussing this with family recently, a cousin suggested ‘Get a massive print of The Muppets and put it up in the living room’.

Stuff that I’ve never really had to think about too seriously in the past, besides thinking ‘Where do I want to put this cool print of a panda on a bicycle?’ (It hangs over my bed, and I love it). But now that I’m going to have my own space, I’m having to think about things like decorating, and appliances, and whisks. Let me try to explain.Īt the time of writing, I’m in the process of house hunting, looking to buy a place I can call my own.

But, as I grow older, having turned 33 just a couple of weeks ago, I’ve started feeling a bit weird about this whole thing. I know I’ve chosen to put this franchise as a priority in my life for a long time and I know I’ve worn this fandom on my sleeve (and under it – again, tattoo). I get it and I’m pretty much cool with it. They ask me how Elmo is, like he’s a real person I’m in contact with. My family and friends are constantly asking me what’s new with the Muppets, or if I have any interviews coming up. If I meet a new person, it generally comes up within the first 10 minutes of conversation, mainly due to the Kermit eye tattoo I have on my inner left wrist. More than your average Joe, but about the same as that other Joe.
