Several friends of mine have been having the blows coming in hard and heavy recently, so rejection hs been on my mind. We often can't predict how we'll feel when it hits.

Nothing says love like a dead, mostly shredded songbird from you cat. Or a conservatory full of feathers. He just don't get why I don't understand that.

I love that video. Poor Bernard! He spent all weekend writing that novel.

I know! Is it any wonder he's so upset?
