Also, lots of people have been asking to send me stuff like a scarf, etc. Someone even drew me as a wizard! If you want to send something, send it to PO Box 17244, Salem, OR 97305
"I'M SURE HE WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST AND THAT HE HAD JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF TONGUE AND PULLED HER WAIST CLOSE AND WAS JUST WET ENOUGH DID IT GET WARM IN HERE CAN SOMEONE OPEN A FUCKING WINDOW"
Like, it squeaks when you pick it up, squeaks when you throw it, squeaks when it bounces, fucker squeaks when you even look at it funny
It doesn't bother me, because Arwen LOVES it. She's happy, I'm happy. I hear her playing with it at night; makes me smile
But...
Cont'd...

Let's talk about embarrassing my annoying coworker
Thanks to the combined efforts of my heroes, @vipbanaangel and @EinganaDragon, a can of surströmming is on its way (which is salt-fermented Baltic herring, and one of the nastiest things on the planet)

Have you ever had that weird moment of realization that people see you?
Like, okay, hold on
You spend your entire life looking through your own eyes and moving your own limbs. You never see your facial reactions. You don't see how you walk, you just feel it.

Meanwhile you're freaking out wondering if people feel the same way about their own emotive physicality
