Highlights of the last fortnight

Um, ok, sorry I haven’t posted in a while I’ve been preoccupied.
Highlights:

Getting beaten up a little bit and needing stitches. The only problem with this is I couldn’t practice for a week, really, because I had jaw problems. It’s all good now (although I’m coming down with something I think, so there goes practice again).
Also, [...]

Today for lunch

I microwaved up some left over lasagne, but then microwaved it too much, and the glad wrap that was over the plate sort of melted into it. I tried to peel it off, but it seemed that the glad wrap had actually sort of fused in with the melted cheese and I’d either habe to [...]

Um.

As a youngster

As a youngster, I was frequently in trouble. The only reason I’m not still is that there is no one around to get angry at me really, I’ve put myself in social quarantine, and this seems to work best for humans everywhere. But when I was young, I had not the means to do this, [...]
