I actually write a lot, but mostly just daily gibberish. I am a documentation addict: I just peed. I walked down the hallway. I dropped my pencil. I just aged a minute.

I don't like people feeling like they've been cheated out of their money, and I too have been caught in the back of floor shows, only to inspect the backs of necks and the mudded sounds pushing though bodies.
