About me:
My throat's sore right now. I could use a throat lozenge or something, but not one of the ones with menthol or cherry flavor 'cause, you know, I don't like those that much. Oooh.. do you have any Ricola? I'll try my best not to ewok on 'em like candy, but they're so tasty, so I just might. I'll be very appreciative of the fact that you were kind enough to share them with me though. After all, that's incredibly generous of you. Not many people just up and share their Ricola these days, which I think is a shame.
My hair's falling out. It's been happening for a few years. I think it's because of a combination of stress and genetics. They're like a molotov cocktail for looking down and seeing follicles not so much on your head anymore. Which isn't horrible. I don't mind having thinning hair. Thing is, it was always hard to get my hair to look good to me, and these days it's pretty much impossible. I suppose I could have some more Ricola, but that wouldn't really help the hair thing. Though they are tasty..

I am here at my computer an imputent exile, wondering how I got here and wishing to rewind the days. Then I remember how I got here, and realize I only wish to reconnect with those that have slipped away from my realm. But is this possible, I ponder. Being that we move farther and farther away each passing moment. The tides of time are indeed cruel, and forbodding.
last night was good, lets make tonight better. Lets make tonight so good we wont have anything else to live for. :) . "Imagine this bullet in your head. " Ambegious
