I accidently reblogged something of his.
I just found out who he is…..he’s the guy who annoyed me in the Californication episode I was watching earlier this eve.

I ran around yelling “Mary?” like maybe she was hiding under a bed or something, then I grabbed my phone and redialed the last phone number that called.

I’m not sure if this is linked for the amazing WTF’ness or as a hint about another Antarctica attempt. Either way it’s pretty neat.
I promise I’ll stop editing this now.
It seems that everyone in my building has some ‘hack up your lungs all night long’ sickness.
I have to be up in four hours. Blah.
For two years I had this poem taped to my bedroom wall. There was never an edited version posted. I’m not sure if it is right to be attracting eyes to someone’s unfinished work, but I think it works just as it is.
