"I want something really, honestly good to happen to me, not because I made it so, but because I think I deserve it from the Universe. I'm so fucking sick of making lemonade out of lemons. Why can't I just have a present, for once?"Oh Mattie, you silly younger Mattie. *pats self on cheeks* You got the biggest present any baseball fan could ask ( Read more... )
