"Really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great." -Mark Twain

I like Mark Twain. I mean beyond reading Tom Sawyer cover to cover at least ten times as a kid, I think he was a smart guy. Even though I hear he was terrible at keeping his money, I don't really think that's any indication of success anyway, although my father would

[chosered]

I hear that every May, something bad happens. I don't know if that's true, though.

I think Mark Twain was a very smart man. Huck Finn is a brilliant commentary on racisim and the social implications of that. Everyone has areas they're better at managing. My mother would have said that Twain was brilliant enough in literature that he couldn't take the time to focus on his money.

Alone or lonely?

[chosered]

A little of both.

What are you going to do about it?

Do you need a roommate?
