Because I'm not certain whether writing talent is something that should be cherished and used only on special occasions, the inclination to write only in the sphere of fiction has resulted in my LiveJournal atrophying. I should save my metaphors and jokes for my stories, I think to myself, in the same way that one would stay awake for days in ( Read more... )

Just time for a quick sweep around my life in the annual LJ update.

( The State I Am In )

Watch, peons, as shewho sends questions to me with horrendous results.

1. what's the worst wrestling injury you've had? and the worst you've seen?Happily I've only had one wrestling injury, in which I broke the scaphoid, a bone in my wrist.
