YES! So I'm going to finish what I'm writing. If I become James Frey, you gotta keep it zipped babe. That's all I'm saying.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Who lets these people onto the interweb? There should be a screening process.

Ha! The school that Marissa's sister goes to is the same school two of my Michigan cousins went to.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Holy crap. I was skeptical about the original version being much more mournful than Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday," but I just downloaded a classical quartet's instrumental of "Szomoru Vasarnap" and even without words the Hungarian Suicide Song is unbelievably haunting.

The reputed nihilistic effect it inspires may be somewhat muted if one has "Tubular Boobular Joy" pop up as the following selection on one's playlist, though.

Nope, but a cup of tea helps.

I should have tea. But without caffeine.

And PB&J. I should have that too.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I was thinking popcorn, for myself.

Actually, I was thinking Tamarind Balls, but I got greedy last week.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I need to make another run?
