Does that read like complete and total insanity, or what?
Yet doth its usual opposite – seemingly being a self drowning in seemingly infinitely so much not-self – seems far more insane than the hysterical-laughing-invoking calm of the aforementioned.
The end seemed so near I even told two of my three all-time-favorite correspondents exactly how much I appreciate them in no uncertain terms lest I somehow soon never get the chance to do so.
Not that I haven't been “Do'h!”-grade wrong countless times before, of course....
