jennhoney replied to your post: Pillow fort or blanket fort?

this is such an important question! I wish I had asked it. I am adamantly against pillow architecture but I try to be open minded about people’s fort choices.

The beauty of a pillow fort, and I’ve got a lot of recent experience, is the strength of the couch pillows. Do you guys call them couches? I mean sofa cushions. Is that the right word? 

Anyway, they give the fort some good solid walls.

Sheets on the top. 

Held together by clothes pins.

I am a traveling dream fort builder. I’m going to go down dream fort memory lane.

I only just realized how to articulate why I’m against pillow/cushion architecture. I don’t like dismantling something useful, like a couch, to build something else. Because then you have the issue of, “we can’t sit on the couch until we dismantle the dream fort” and why would one ever want to dismantle a dream fort? ahaha. and if we are talking bed pillows. I just haven’t seen one that isn’t a sloppy mess…

I’m into whimsical simplicity. that’s my building code.

two push pins in the ceiling can make the whole couch your fort

$2 worth of streamers and some tape can make a whole bed a birthday fort

one poster and a bunch of friends can make a cupboard under the stairs a fort

screw eyes in some rafters, wire, and old curtain rods, can make FORT AWESOME.

but ultimately I think, any fort is a good fort.

so, during SDCC, people just keep handing you random things when you walk by.

sidenote: Jennifer says one of her favorite stories was how I was saying how distracting it was to have this happen, because I’d be in the middle of saying something and I would always have to thank them for putting something in my hands and then I’d forget what I was talking about… and in the middle of me discussing this, Kevin handed me something and I said thank you. Kevin is super quick on his feet. I am super predictable. ~anyway~

at like, 11pm, after JP’s H+ panel, someone put this in my hand (and I said thanks) but Kevin was like, ‘JULES. YOU DO NOT NEED MORE ENERGY.’

I ALWAYS NEED MORE ENERGY!! but I didn’t drink it. I still haven’t. I found it in my purse this week. I am keeping it in case of energy emergency.

hahaha
