	UPDATE: So I'm back. Pics go up whenever CM gets around to posting them. Had to scrap the old profile though. For now: I read. I write. Occasionally I manage a major feat like getting published or cleaning out my inbox. I also travel a lot. Right now I'm in Sydney, which is pretty cool, but I also have to spend the odd week in Cleveland. If you're really cool, I might take you with me someday. I like hanging out with artists and other creative types, so if you write or sing or sculpt we'll probably get along. Maybe. Or I might just treat you like my bratty little sister until you impress me. People tell me I have a strange sense of humor, so if you get some weird message from me it's probably because I thought it was funny. Just smile and nod and tell me I'm hilarious and I promise I'll have (a little) mercy when I'm teasing you....

SO I'M ON THE BUS FOR SOME GODDAMNED REASON AND I AM LISTENING CAREFULLY TO THE CONVERSATION IN FRONT OF ME, HELD BETWEEN THIS BLOWSY SULKY GIRL WHO IS CLEARLY DOMINATING THE SITUATION AND HER 'BOYFRIEND', A SCRAWNY LOOKING MESS NEAR TEARS. THE FOLLOWING IS ALMOST VERBATIM.

SCRAWNY MESS: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'VE CHEATED ON ME?!

BLOWSY GIRL: I CHEATED ON YOU.

SCRAWNY MESS: (SNIFFLING MISERABLY) BUT.. BUT.. YOU CHEATED ON ME?

BLOWSY GIRL: (ALMOST INDIGNANTLY) YES.

SCRAWNY MESS: (TEARS FORMING) FOR HOW LONG?

BLOWSY GIRL: (WITH A HINT OF SATISFACTION) ABOUT A YEAR.

SCRAWNY MESS: (TEARS WELLING UP) OHHHHH NOOOO.

SCRAWNY MESS PAUSES TO REFLECT. THE BOY IS A VERITABLE DISTILLERY AT THIS POINT AND YOU CAN JUST TELL SOME SORT OF ULTIMATUM IS COMING. HE MASTERS HIS EMOTIONS AND BECOMES VERY STILL. I AM EXPECTING HIM TO GET ALL KUNG FU ON THIS GIRL. INSTEAD HE TURNS TO HER, WIPES THE TEARS FROM HIS EYES AND SAYS "STRIKE ONE, NANCY... STRIKE ONE."
