Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Oh, I meant irritated at being asked to announce my comings and goings.

Oh, good! Now I feel less weird that I don't feel obligated to communicate my whereabouts unless you're my mom or my significant other.

I mean, if my roommate is nearby when I'm leaving I'll say goodbye. I'm not a total jerk.

which is what I was told all my life "we know you can do this if you just try", hard to unlearn that

I am so guilty of this. I need to do some ADHD research so I can fix the way I talk about this. I know it guts CJ cause he is obviously a smart kid, he just needs his "glasses" in whatever form that takes. I really like that description.

The person who wrote this stupid crap I'm editing uses "ruff" instead of "rough".

WTF. Is the person's favorite song also Tuff Enuff by The Fabulous Thunderbirds?

Is the person secretly a dog?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I suspect the person is not-so-secretly a crap writer and should not have been asked to document this thing. There's also "differently" and "differentially", and I can't tell if it's supposed to be the same word each time it's used.

The previous section was written by someone who was much more coherent, but tended to use "e.g." at the end of almost every freaking sentence, e.g., like this.

I always write "cat food" on our grocery list as "cat fud" because of The Far Side.

t edit I also write "dog fud," just to be fair to both species.

Here is how you know I don't live in Mayberry: today the police raided the candy store on the main street through town, because the candy store is, as we all know, a front for drug dealers. (You can buy candy there, but I have no idea if anyone does.)

Oh, Northside.
