I’m sleepy and happy today. It’s an obvious, tell-tale condition, and I guess I’m just not that good at keeping secrets. But I’ll be damned if I’m not masterful at vague insinuation. I should take up a career as an professional insinuator, confusing situations to the point of hopeless illogic. What can I say, it’s what I do.<\/p>\n

If the sun were made of marmalade …<\/p>\n

… I’d need a much, much bigger slice of toast.<\/p>\n

As it is, I feel like butter spread over just enough bread.<\/p>\n

I was forced to post or forfeit my life, so if this rambling makes no sense to you, blame it on my antagonists.<\/p>\n

Five years ago and change –
\nand if you were here now …
\nthings would not be as they are.<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t change a thing.<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t change us. Not a bit.<\/p>\n

Well, maybe that time you got killed by orcs.
\nSorry about that.<\/em><\/p>\n

I bought a typewriter on ebay the other day. It’s not just any typewriter, either. It’s a Hermes 3000<\/a> and it’s going to completely change the way I type my writing. Watch out, world!<\/p>\n

No, but I got it specifically for writing letters. There’s something about the way a letter written on a typewriter looks. It’s classy without being impersonal, eccentric without being trendy-eccentric. To be honest, there is one letter that I need to write, to release, to send out into the world. And it couldn’t be done, honestly – it couldn’t be done at all if it weren’t done on a Hermes typewriter. So, there you have it. I’m sentimental. I cry during movies, I’m moved by music, and I buy typewriters to send letters that are long overdue.<\/p>\n

I don’t know what good may come of it. Perhaps none. It may, before it has even begin, be a futile gesture. Nonetheless, I will persist. Sentiment beats reason, everytime.<\/p>\n

I wish you all the very best of Thanksgivings. I met a lovely girl, who charms the hell out of me. So much for being vague. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Oh, and just so the universe knows:<\/p>\n

I make the best blackberry pie, ever. People WILL attest to this, perhaps even in writing and not at gunpoint. Just wait, I’ll post pictures as proof. My lattice-top crust is awe-inspiring!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
