RIP Frank. I never met him but it was always nice to see his electrons.

Are there multiple sizes of twin-size mattresses? I bought a twin-sized fitted sheets, and the fitted one is too big. The label just says Twin, but maybe they were expecting me to have a thicker mattress than I do.

I feel like a lot of sheets are too deep now, to accommodate the thick mattress/pillowtop phenomenon. It's annoying AF.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Dorm-sized twin mattresses are longer than regular twin, but I don't know about thicker.

I met Frank at Atlanta F2F. We had a great chat. He was pretty cool. I liked talking to him here. I'm sad he's gone.

Maybe it's just the age I'm at, seems like one of my friends dies every year now. I don't care for this much.

I feel the same way, it fucking sucks.

Yeah, we're at the age.

edit: Lord, I'm only five years younger than my father when he died. But thirty years younger than my mother. Here's hoping I got more of the maternal genes.

Our wings are not tired.

In my experience this phenomenon only gets worse. It was one of my mother's biggest complaints. At some point she ran out of anyone who remembered the things she remembered. Sucks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Agreed. Definitely sucks.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah. Fuck death.

Are there multiple sizes of twin-size mattresses?

Yes, I'm pretty sure there's a regular and a long

In my experience this phenomenon only gets worse.

I can see that already up ahead. Even now, there's the "let's make a plan to see each other before the next funeral" - I've said that too many times
