I haven't gotten any work done for the last hour. And while we're not 
supposed to talk about the list on the list... "Sinister-envy"? Am I 
daft? To think that people envy us at all, or even think of us. Which 
reminds me of a story.

I was dating a girl in seventh grade (Lord, I'm old now, and none of you 
wished me a happy birthday) and for Valentine's Day I gave her a teddy 
bear and a dead rose, only it was supposed to be alive (and there were 
supposed to be a dozen) but things didn't turn out that way. We broke 
up, as thirteen year olds should, and then many years later, five to be 
almost exact, a friend of mine was dating this same girl. And he 
mentioned she had this bear and that she said I had given it to her. How 
nice, I thought, and then mentioned that I really hadn't talked to her 
in years even though we were in all the same classes. My friend said it 
was because she thought that I hated her because she wasn't smart. This 
was laughable for several reason. One, that she even remembered I 
existed. Two, that she would think I hate (what a word) her. Three, that 
it was because she isn't smart. She was in fact quite intelligent (she 
was in my classes, right? snicker!), and beyond that, an incredibly 
talented piano player. A lovely girl. And who would be such an elitist 
prick anyway (surely not I).

Isn't life strange?

And then Ben Apps mentioned a picnic, and no one asked LA sinister 
people, but it they had, I would have recommended Echo Park so that we 
could go paddle boat riding.

Oh well.
