Dylan: I'm going to spit on your face.
Ryan: You can tell I'm a nice person because I put your name first.

I mean, really, I never use it. I don’t visit Google+ anymore, because all my friends have Facebook, so why would I? I’ve always been skeptical about putting all my eggs in one basket, and the fact that I use Gmail and have a Droid is enough to make me not want to use Google too exclusively.
Plus, their new privacy features are skeeving me out. I don’t want Google to track my...

Because It's Probably Expected of Me By This...
The State of the Union is always interesting for me (“interesting” in that “I haven’t actually been able to watch one since President Bush ordered the troop surge in Iraq” and “interesting” in that “I knew all about this already”), but only vaguely. If you want a good presidential speech, look for emergency joint sessions of Congress or...

Stewie: Oh God, let's go quick. Here comes an overweight cat with dollar signs for eyes and a hat that says "Social Security" pouring a bucket that says "Alternative Minimum Tax" over a sad Statue of Liberty holding a democracy umbrella.
Brian: Yes! Ohoho, that oughta wake people up!
Stewie: Shut the fuck up.

I love it when Republicans look like Democrats.
In that the Democrats are the ones playing chess and the Republicans had to go to the school nurse’s office because they glued their balls to their legs… again.

Rush of Inspiration in a Dream: A Livestream...
Oh God that was so visceral and my heart is still racing and I think I’m actually holding my breath because wow that was an intense dream, maybe one of the most intense stories I could ever have thought up, and it came to me, complete and whole, and now I’m going to write it because fuck all, I haven’t written anything in almost two weeks!
And now I’m sitting down and the...

Welp.
Looking at the calendar, I have this weekend free.
And then next weekend I have a career day thing, the next two weekends I will be potentially doing Democratic Party stuff in metro Detroit, the weekend after that will be the opening of my play, and the weekend after that is (I believe) spring break.

Give me just one uninterrupted hour today to write, please, and I will be very, very grateful.
