Today I discovered

I can actually fit very little of my notebook in my mouth.

can you say "oral fixation?"

...And I wonder why I get sick all the time.

I also wonder which of these blog posts I won't be embarrassed by five years from now... or a week from now. 

The reason I want to be a writer
