buttons!
Mother would like me to meet a gentlelady with whom I can share quality time. I have told her repeatedly that I have so little time for any extracurricular activities, as I am entireluy dedicated to my work at the button registry. And when I am at home, Olivia requires constant care and attention. If I did meet a kind woman, I would hope that she could appreciate the responsibility inherent in catalouging such a delicate and elegant item as the button, and would understand why I spent so much of my day at the warehouse. Did you know that buttons have been made out of a wide variety of mammalian bone-even human!? Of course, white rhinosoraus ivory remains the most coveted material for button makers.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower. 1984. The Age of Reason. Survivor. Fight Club. Diary. Wishsong of Shannara. The Stand. Ralph Waldo Emerson, essays and poems. The Book of Mormon (kidding).... But really, I primarily read non-fiction. I have several old books on religious belief, freedom, happiness, and spinoff philosophical topics... My interests involve trying to find any-any at all-logical explanation for faith and religious belief...I love to read/critique authors on both sides of the topic.
