not that it matters to anyone, but i have a tonne of posts in my drafts, none of which i can see thru to completion. it’s almost like i have nothing more to say. which isnt true, because an opinion is something i will always have. i just dont have the motivation to express it [...]

It’s not easy being green =), originally uploaded by monologist. You know what I want? Someone I could really, really talk to without any ambiguity.
