Fiona the Fallen Rolly Polly

This is Fiona the Fallen Rolly Polly.

She represents my weird sense of humor. If you’re old enough you’ll remember the Life Alert commercials where there’s an old lady on the ground yelling, “Help! I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” Now obviously it’s not funny that the old lady fell. What is funny is the terrible acting skills employed in the commercial. She sounds so terribly insincere, it’s great.

Fiona is here to tell you not to take things so seriously. And maybe to represent that although we feel stuck sometimes, everything is fixable. Have you ever watched a rolly polly or a beetle that’s stuck on its back? It may take a while, but they eventually right themselves. Maybe there’s a lesson in that.

Or maybe I just have a whacko sense of humor. But that’s ok, because I entertain myself with it. It gives me the happy. Ultimately that’s what matters because no one else is living my life and stuck in this meat suit with me. As long as I can give myself the giggles it doesn’t much matter if no one else laughs. It’s just me laughing into the void.

Fiona has a mission to help others like me so I’ve made her available in 2 ways. You can find her on my Threadless shop here and get her on a shirt, or you can download her here and make your own. Please note that her image is for personal use ONLY and may NOT be used for commercial purposes.

sincerely hope she helps you like she’s helped me. #IWantTheHappy #ItGivesTheHappy I wish you all the happies.
