This life is so disappointing and bizarre in some ways, I expect to be really angry when the world doesn't actually end next month. In other ways, it's sort of magical and endearing and whatever happens next, I'll have nostalgia to keep me company ( Read more... )

I almost always assume that when someone unburdens themselves at me, particularly when the situation has nothing to do with me and said person appears to have no reason to share, they are telling the truth.
