New Years' Eve, on my computer, sober as a judge.  Helped my mom make food and then wrote rhyming games with my sister.  I'm not sure I'm where I want to be but I'm surprisingly comfortable with it all.  Maybe I don't particularly want to be an awesome badass these days - maybe I have finally, fatalistically, accepted into my heart what Neal ( Read more... )
