Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off--then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.
-Herman Melville, Moby Dick
I don't add people unless I know them. That goes for bands, too. Nothing personal.
I like knitting and crappy television. I also like intellectual discourse and laughing a lot. And monkeys. And miniature livestock. And dancing. And being silly. And being serious. And skipping. And thinking about things, and then saying them out loud. Music to make my toes tap and my heart light. Or my heart heavy. You need 'em both, really. I say more then is necessary and feel more then is healthy. I do this under the theory that I'd rather live too much, too brightly, too intensely, then to leave anything unsaid, not thought, or unfelt. I love grammar, but hate spelling. I'm often confusing. It's unintentional, I swear.
