"I used to have a real anger problem. Short temper, always erupting, then slowly cooling down and hardening up again. Problem is, instead of addressing that and fixing it, I just learned to start burying it down deep. I've been under so much pressure, for so long, that I can tell people think I've metamorphosed from the way I look on the outside, even though inside my head the igneous rage never really went away."

"Your Honor," the defense began, "I think we can all agree that this case will be pretty boring on its own." The judge nodded his assent. "We therefore propose playing Two Truths and a Lie...just to make things interesting." The judge sustained the motion.

It wasn't a bad development for me, but how was I ever going to limit it to one lie?

Simple needs

All my friends are getting married*

*by which, of course, I mean 'lots of my friends'.
And so this re-run seemed to be in order.

Halfheartedly or less

By some freakish convergence of factors, it was always humid and never rained in the colony, a phenomenon which the colonial meteorologist couldn't be bothered to explain, since he was also the colonial geologist, postmaster, and poet laureate, and there were much more interesting (to him, anyway) deposits of obsidian to be examined and, in due course, elegized.

The self-perpetuating problem

Needy and then some

Mental Health

To the long and ever-growing list of things I do not and cannot and will never care about, let these be added: Cologne. Your sadness about the ending of a TV show. Pi past three digits.
