This is not about you
No more ranting, no more rambling, no emoticons, no narration, no HAHAs or WAHs, because words define you. I have always wanted to be perfect English.
Be pretentious and altruistic and capricious - whatever it takes, as long as they don't think you're stupid. The scientific method does not apply to words; there is no metaphorical ruler to measure the depth, accuracy or precision of words. Stupid people (and not academically, you fools), keep away from me. You are not worth my time.

Imagine this: Tuesday late morning, sharing an entire cafe with three strangers (the out-of-work executive, the teenage delinquent, and the educated housewife whose bookish veneer has long faded), reading your own book, constructing your own scene, with the over-priced cup of coffee you don't really like, the plate of donuts that are really meant for two. The morning light hits you just right at your spot by the window, the warm glow buffing you round the edges. Reading, but not really reading. Waiting, but not really waiting.
This is loneliness by construction.

You must have upset me, though I am really supposed to be mad at you. Then again, maybe there is no you. Maybe I am shamelessly abusing the notion of you, all too familiarly.
Doubt, be skeptical. Maybe I am like a reluctant commercial, trying to sell you an idea, a concept.
