How to Care
I don't care by default; I care because I have chosen to. Because I fear who I become when I lose the ability to do so. I care so much that I am told I am foolish, that I am too passionate about everything around me, I have too many interests, am too nice, listen to too much music, save too many animals, spend too much time stopping to smell the ( Read more... ) -
Blue funk of death
Emerges from long-term underblanket hibernation but finds the ability to articulate damaged by the transition and malfunctioning. Thinks semi-coherency is manageable through third-person, lolspeak or universal cat, but isolates self and runs diagnostics in order to resolve issues ( Read more... ) -

I Will Make It Rain Sometimes
With power comes responsibility. Wisdom.. or plain old common sense.
But even a deity is not infallible (see: Bible). This is not an attempt to excuse my behaviour on Monday. I'll not point fingers at a rival and claim that since He can do it, I can too. There is no excuse... but as I need only answer to myself, the time spent dwelling on whether or ( Read more... )
