Well, you can be like me, a dedicated amateur.
I'm strictly a dilettante.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Ah. Without having checked out facebook, I do believe I understand.
I believe she is truly fueled and held together by her anger at everything in the world, and if she stopped being angry, all of her atoms would fly apart without that cohesive center of vitriol.
Yes, that's exactly it.

Not even being able to verify via my FB, I understand. That's professional grade, that is.
In happy news, I am meeting a friend for dinner in Salisbury today on the spur of the moment. Same-day notification counts as spur, right? Anyway. Fun.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I have no idea who we're talking about. I guess I should be thankful?

True 'dat.
I don't call being sad that someone who has touched the lives of so many people and quite literally changed the way we communicate across the globe as a species has died canonization.
Perhaps we should reserve that status for musicians and artists?
Only one of them, I think.
All that said, if I may return to elevating Steve Jobs to godhood, I was just a little let down that when I started up my Mac at work this morning that it didn't give me a sad Mac icon. Part of me really believed that there was secret coding worked into the OS that would make a sad Mac pop up after Jobs died.

It will probably come to you in a minute, Jessica.
Happy Birthday, Sail!

Because books.
Is this someone we all know?
Happy birthday, Sail! With extra cake!

OH. Right.
Perhaps we should reserve that status for musicians and artists?
I think it would be fair to call Steve Jobs an artist.

I think Ready Player One and Daemon have skewed my expectations of what's supposed to happen when tech bigwigs die.
