One more week and it'll be a full year since I last updated! I think then someone comes and takes away my LJ credentials, yeah? I cannot let it happen!

40 days of bullshit
I keep meaning to post about escorting, but I find it very difficult to string together anything coherent in the state of exhaustion/frustration that almost always follows. Today, I was perhaps more exhausted/frustrated than ever, but I have spiked my mango lemonade with Stoli and will endeavor to continue.
