What's the difference between a cat and a comma?
One has claws at the end of its paws and one is a pause at the end of a clause.

I laughed so hard in the Writing Center that I got a headache.
I love my job.

Conferences kick ass.
Went out to the bars two nights ago:
1. Helped a lady who fell in the middle of the street. She really fell the fuck down.
2. Drank a TON of beer.
3. Met a local and helped him realize his dream of becoming a musician.
4. Got necked by a gay guy.
5. Smoked a ciggerette with a homeless man.
6. Snuck PBR into our hotel room from the bar because Madison, WI stops selling...

I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to see someone smile so badly before.
Ted: Hey, Lem mentioned there's something weird going on with the motion sensor in the lab?
Veronica: Oh, yeah. We replaced all the sensors in the lab with a new state-of-the-art system that will save money. It works by detecting light reflected off the skin.
Ted: Well, Lem says it doesn't work at all.
Veronica: Lem's wrong. It does work, although there is a problem: it doesn't seem to see black people.
Ted: The system doesn't see black people?
Veronica: I know, weird, huh?
Ted: That's more than weird, Veronica, it's basically, well, racist.
Veronica: The Company's policy is that it's actually the opposite of racist, because it's not targeting black people, it's just ignoring them. They insist the worst people can call it is "indifferent."
I’m vulnerable, like a fawn in the woods. But tough… like a fawn in the woods...

I found some of my writing.
I can’t decide if the story is terrible or worth reading.

I just spilled boiling hot Earl Grey Tea all over my hands and legs. It really hurt.
On the plus side, I’m going to get groceries today so I can actually eat food.
I need super hugs right now and I don't know why.
Worst feeling ever.
I think the coffee is doing bad things to my brain.
