I'm lazy. And sorting through angry feelings right now.

I just kept noticing last night as I was mentally drafting an email that the longer I thought about it and the angrier I got, the bigger the words were.

I resort to four letter words when I get angry.

Wow, Wayne! Good for you.

My words kept getting formal and big. I was reverting back to my childhood years, where I used big words all the time. I was such a goober nerd back then, lol.

I think you'll find I invented the word douchebaggery. It may have been in a PM to Wayne though.

Yikes! Think I'd stick with "Mrs Shannon Leto, Three-time Booker Prize Winner and All-Round Nice Person Who Always Looks Naturally Blonde."

just a thought? =)

...when you consider cultivating a drinking problem in the hope that you can become the next Stephen King.

Wow, I must be tired, because no matter how I spin it that sentence doesn't seem right.

If the douchebaggery was later found to have been in error, then shenanigans stand.

Rule #367, paragraph ii, subsection D.

I call douche-bag shenanigans.

Ouch.
