when i say, "hospital" what i mean is, "the bar."
t.b.a. especially if she's cute/funny/intelligent/interesting/alive. also: cars that work more often than not. jackassery for entertainment purposes and entertaining porpoises. breaking shit as psychological therapy. nap time. kites. talking shit. anyone named "armand hammer." words and what you can do both with and to them. refusing to use capital letters most of the time. political apathy. sarcasm and how it rhymes with orgasm for a reason. social experimentation. music in most of its forms. finding that thing i lost and can't remember where i had it last. zombies. combining things that do not belong together. mad science.
people who can make me believe there's an ice cream donkey melting on their head or other interesting body part when clearly there isn't.
people who, on warmer evenings towards sundown, sometimes feel an undeniable urge to put on their shitkickers and kick some shit.
