(no subject)
hay.
awwwwwwww it's been awhile. hold on lemme go to the bathroom.
oh. so everything's turning up roses lately. feeling so much better. getting a little tubbier, can't hear out of the left side, doubly unrequited, but everyone wants to shake my hand
and that's just fine.
eric got a very foolish haircut.
i'm all festering and frothing about the twenty-first because it feels like a big deal even though, you know, whatever, but if i fix whatever's not quite right with "airplanes" then all should play out nice and slippery smooth
which reminds me
no pot the day before or the day of.
just a cup of coffee.
guess what. wet grammy = angry newt.
matt comes home on friday and i'm so fucking happy about that
i could just cry
and tomorrow is thursday. i'm going to give nancy a present and suggest how smitten with her i might be
actually, i think, also, i want you personally to have a lovely evening.
