(no subject)
Do you ever feel maliciously amused and justified when someone you can't stand takes the same side as, say, Bill O'Reilly? Because I am sitting here and cackling gleefully because someone who aggrevates the living crap out of me wrote something (a month ago, but still) that basically defends Bill O'Reilly. I feel so justified. The rest of the world must think this person is as crazy as I do!
Wow, I'm terrible.

Finish something worthy of being published. Not dying.

There's a place of our own
where we all feel alone
when we're dragging the weight of the stone.
Trying day after day
to continue this way;
we're almost feeding our own dismay.
